Problems solved by technology

Therefore, even if on-grid electricity becomes available in a certain location or area that was once too remote or considered to be “off-grid”, any off-grid appliances that were already in place within the home or building would have to be replaced with new appliances which is not only costly, but is also non-environmentally friendly since perfectly functioning appliances are rendered obsolete and must be replaced.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a cook top assembly 10 according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. The cook top assembly 10 comprises a generally rectangular base plate 12 in the form of a shallow box having an open top 14. Accordingly, the base plate 12 has a bottom surface 13 and a peripheral side wall 15 extending upwardly from the bottom surface around the entire periphery of the bottom surface 13 defining an open interior space 17. A separate cover panel 18 is provided typically having a plurality of generally circular burner openings or burner mountings 21 with burner covers or burner caps 19 placed over top of each of the openings. In the subject exemplary embodiment five separate burner openings or mountings 21 are provided however it will be understood that the cook top assembly maybe provided with more or less individual burners depending upon the particular model and / or overall size of the cook top assembly 10. A cast-iron grate 20 i...

Abstract

The invention relates to a gas cook top assembly that is capable of operating in off-grid applications where no electricity is available and that is also adaptable to operating in on-grid applications. The cook top is provided with a first control loop with a battery pack for powering the control valves for releasing gas to the gas burners and a spark ignition module for generating a spark to ignite the corresponding gas burner in an off-grid application. The cook top is also provided with second control loop for delivering power from an on-grid AC power source to the control valves and spark ignition module. The second control loop may operate independently of the first control loop or may be connected in parallel with the first control loop, the second control loop receiving AC power through an AC-to-DC converter.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a cook top assembly having a dual power source. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a gas cook top assembly that is capable of operating in off-grid applications where no electricity is available and that is also adaptable to operating in on-grid applications.BACKGROUND[0002]Propane gas appliances are known and commonly used in off-grid applications where electricity is not available. Propane gas appliances are well-suited for off-grid living in more rural and / or remote locations since they offer some of the conveniences of “on-grid living” by providing the common or typical appliances found in an “on-grid” home such as a refrigerator, a range and / or cook-top, freezer etc. in locations where electricity is not readily available. As urban sprawl continues in major urban centers, areas that are currently off-grid may one day become part of the grid as infrastructure associated with on-grid living expands farther away fro...
