Patent number: 10436444Abstract: A gas valve unit for controlling a gas throughput guided to a gas burner of a gas device includes a plurality of on-off valves. Each on-off valve includes a movable valve body with a shut-off body and an activation area, a closing spring which, when the on-off valve is closed, pushes the shut-off body onto a sealing seat and thereby closes an opening. A driver lifts the shut-off body away from the sealing seat for opening the on-off valve by a force caused by the driver when engaging into the activation area against a force of the closing spring. The valve body has a shoulder area to accept a torque arising on engagement of the driver into the activation area.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Christophe Cadeau, Jörn Naumann

Patent number: 9206982Abstract: A gas valve unit for setting a gas volume flow supplied to a gas burner of a gas appliance includes a valve housing, and an actuation pin having an operating segment which projects from the valve housing. Received in the valve housing is a shutoff valve which is configured for actuation by axially displacing the actuation pin, and at least two on-off valves which are configured for actuation by rotating the actuation pin. The shutoff valve has a movable shutoff element. A deflection device converts an axial movement of the actuation pin into an axial movement of the shutoff element of the shutoff valve essentially at a right angle thereto.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2011Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: BSH Hausgeraete GmbHInventor: Jörn Naumann
