DESIGN NAME: Flip Flop
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Gas Cooker
INSPIRATION: This invention arises with the idea of supplying an optional adjustment in a gas cooker that makes possible to heat various sizes of kitchen utensils on the same cooker eye. Thus, it will be possible to heat kitchen utensils with a diameter of a coffeepot when the wings are closed and to heat utensils with a diameter of a saucepan when the wings are open.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This design is related to the gas cooker which is adjustable in diameter and flame intensity, used in the oven. It is possible to adjust the diameter of a flame manually and the intensity of it by a single control button with a gas cooker that is capable of supplying gas with various diameters and geometries. With the opening of the wings, the diameter of the heating area is growing %50 on average. With this invention, all of the gas cookers are becoming adjustable by the user.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With this design which is expected to use mainly by housewives, the problem of incompatibility between the utensil and gas cooker will be eliminated and this will provide time saving. The design is suitable for simple use and application.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in June 2015 in Ankara and finished December 2015 in Ankara
