COOKTOP AND KNOB ASSEMBLY THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156698 titled 'COOKTOP AND KNOB ASSEMBLY THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cooktop with a knob assembly that controls a heating part. The knob assembly includes a knob body, a light diffusing part, and a light source part. The light diffusing part has a specific thickness and is positioned to diffuse light from the light source part.

  • The cooktop includes a knob assembly that controls a heating part.
  • The knob assembly consists of a knob body, a light diffusing part, and a light source part.
  • The knob body is located on the front surface of a control panel and rotates around a front-rear axis.
  • The light diffusing part is positioned at the rear side of the knob body and diffuses light.
  • The light source part is located at the rear side of the light diffusing part and contains one or more light sources.
  • The light diffusing part has a light source corresponding part that aligns with one of the light sources.
  • The thickness of the light diffusing part is greater along a straight line passing through the light source corresponding part compared to a line that does not pass through it.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied to various cooktops, such as electric or gas cooktops.
  • It can also be used in other appliances that require knob controls, such as ovens or stoves.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The light diffusing part helps to evenly distribute light from the light source part, providing better visibility and control for the user.
  • The specific thickness of the light diffusing part ensures that the light is diffused properly, enhancing the overall user experience.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The diffused light improves visibility, making it easier for users to see and adjust the knob controls.
  • The even distribution of light enhances the aesthetic appeal of the cooktop.
  • The specific thickness of the light diffusing part ensures that the light is diffused effectively, avoiding any uneven lighting or shadows.


Original Abstract Submitted

A cooktop includes a knob assembly controls a heating part. The knob assembly includes: a knob body disposed at a front surface of a control panel and rotating around a rotation shaft extended in a front-rear direction, a light diffusing part disposed at a rear side of the knob body and diffusing light, and a light source part disposed at a rear side of the light diffusing part and including one or more light sources. The light diffusing part includes a light source corresponding part disposed at a position corresponding to one of the light sources, and a thickness of the light diffusing part along a first straight line that passes from a center of the light diffusing part through the light source corresponding part is greater than a thickness of the light diffusing part along a straight line that does not pass through the light source corresponding part.
