  • Publication number: 20130059256
    Abstract: A gas valve unit for setting a gas volumetric flow to a twin-circuit gas burner of a gas appliance includes a valve body having a gas inlet and two gas outlets, and a control mechanism for adjusting the gas volumetric flow to at least one of the gas outlets in a multiple-stage manner. The control mechanism has a zero position in which the gas volumetric flow to the gas outlets is interrupted, and a switching position which is adjacent to the zero position and in which the gas volumetric flow is set to a maximum value.

  • Publication number: 20120132836
    Abstract: A gas valve unit for adjusting a volumetric gas flow supplied to a gas burner of a gas appliance, in particular a gas cooking appliance, includes at least two open/close valves which can be actuated by moving at least one magnetically active body, in particular a permanent magnet, relative to the open/close valves. For actuating an open/close valve, a position of the magnetically active body, which is preferably implemented in the form of a permanent magnet, can be varied relative to the shut-off body of the open/close valve.

  • Publication number: 20120118280
    Abstract: A gas valve unit for adjusting a volumetric gas flow supplied to a gas burner of a gas appliance, in particular a gas cooking appliance. The gas valve unit has a gas inlet, at least two open/close valves, at least two throttle points and a gas outlet. The gas valve unit includes a throttle segment in which the throttle points are arranged in series and each pair of adjacent throttle points is connected by corresponding connecting section. The inlet sides of at least two open/close valves are connected to the gas inlet, and the outlet side of at least one open/close valve leads into a connecting section of the throttle segment.

  • Publication number: 20120111434
    Abstract: A gas valve unit for adjusting a gas volume flow fed to a gas burner of a gas-operated device, particularly a gas cooking appliance, includes a valve body, in which at least two valve seats of open-close valves of the gas valve unit are formed. At least two throttle points each having at least one throttle opening are formed in the valve body. The valve body includes a plurality of mutually parallel plates, with one of the parallel plates forming a valve sealing plate with the at least two valve seats of the open/close valves and another of the parallel plates forming a throttle plate with the throttle openings of the at least two throttle points. The valve sealing plate is made of a flexible material, such as plastic.

  • Patent number: 6318357
    Abstract: A gas burner configuration for cooking areas includes a multi-ring gas burner having an inner burner with laterally aligned gas/air mixture outlet openings and an annular outer burner, disposed at a spacing from the inner burner, with gas/air mixture outlet openings. A hand-operated gas fitting directs, meters, and shuts off the combustion gas, which can be fed to the multi-ring burner through separate pipelines. The gas fitting has valves and three gas duct branches to be opened and closed by the valves using an operating member adjustable to different setting positions. Two of the branches each provide a constant gas throughput, and the third provides variable gas throughput. One of the constant gas throughput branches is associated with the inner burner and is opened by one valve over and entire actuating path of the operating member. The other of the constant gas throughput branches and the variable throughput branch are associated with the outer burner and opened by other valves.
