  • Patent number: 9140451
    Abstract: A gas tap including a gas path includes an electromagnetic safety valve for closing the gas path is provided. The safety valve includes an armature housing and having a mobile magnetic anchor in the housing and a valve seat. The mobile magnetic anchor includes a valve closing element which presses on the valve seat to close the gas path and an electromagnetic coil for activating the mobile magnetic anchor and the valve closing element to close the gas path when voltage is applied to the electromagnetic coil. Also, the electromagnetic coil is arranged as a separate component outside of the armature housing on a magnetic insert.

  • Patent number: 8689783
    Abstract: A cooking appliance for insertion into a cut-out in a work top includes a peripheral lateral wall having four wall sections. Each wall section has on the outer face thereof at least one resiliently deformable compression element. Two such cooking appliances disposed adjacently in the shared cut-out in the work top can be mounted by inserting a first one of the two cooking appliances into the cut-out. An intermediate wall is arranged on a free face of the first cooking appliance so that compression elements of the first cooking appliance adjoining the intermediate wall engage in a first group of recesses in the intermediate wall, and a second one of the two cooking appliances is inserted into the cut-out so that compression elements of the second cooking appliance adjoining the intermediate wall engage in a second group of recesses in the intermediate wall.

  • Patent number: 7513247
    Abstract: A control system for adjusting the heat output of at least one gas burner. The control system including at least one control organ in a gas main line feeding the gas burner for adjusting the gas throughput supplied to the gas burner nozzle. The control system further including at least one secondary line in parallel with the control organ with a shut-off organ for opening and closing the secondary line. The secondary line having a lower flow resistance than the flow resistance in the control organ line.

  • Publication number: 20060138372
    Abstract: Known gas taps or magnet inserts (9) for electromagnetic safety valves (8) for gas taps comprise an armature (21) arranged in an armature housing (19), and a valve closing element (29). In order to close a gas path (6) provided in the gas tap (6), the armature (21) pushes the valve closing element (29) against a valve seat (35) provided in the gas tap. The armature (21) is associated with an electromagnetic coil (45) which actuates the armature (21) when a voltage is applied. In order to extend the shelf life of the magnet insert (9), the electromagnetic coil (45) is arranged outside the armature housing (19) of the magnet insert in the form of a separate component.
