Abstract: A method and a gas regulator fitting for monitoring the ignition of a gas appliance in which the danger of the accumulation of an increased amount of unburned gas in a combustion chamber before the ignition of a main burner (2) is reduced. In addition, an immediate renewed attempt to ignite the appliance is to be prevented. A sensor (21) ascertaining the operating condition of the main burner (2) is activated in such a way on the activation of a drive unit (20) forming part of the gas regulator fitting for opening a main valve (11) of the gas regulator fitting such that, if the main gas flow in the main burner (2) is not ignited within a given time, the main valve (11) is closed again also for a given time.

Abstract: The aim is to devise a gas plug connector that permits a gas plug to be connected or disconnected only when an additional shut-off valve has been manually closed. To that end the housing (1) of the gas plug connector has a bearing (36) for a switching element (35) that on the one hand is fitted with a guide device (37), on which one end of a plunger (11; 12) installed in the base (2) of the housing (1) is supported, whereas the other end of the plunger (11: 12) is connected to a valve head (15) of a shut-off valve (8) positioned in the gas-carrying chamber (7) of the base (2). On the other hand, the switching element (35) is connected to a locking device, by means of which an insertion of the gas plug (57) dependent on the position of the switching element (35) can be prevented.

Abstract: A gas regulating fitting that, in addition to enabling an electronic ignition of the gas flow, also permits a manual ignition. A covering element (17) is displaceably mounted on the housing (1) of the gas regulating fitting and, in a first position, covers a tappet (10; 14), which is provided for actuating a thermoelectric ignition safety valve (26) and a main valve (19), and covers a control switch (13) of a piezoelectric igniting element. When the covering element (17) is in a second position, an actuation of the tappet (10; 14), which inevitably occurs when the covering element (17) is displaced, ensures that the main valve (19) is located in the closed position. In addition, the control switch (13) and the tappet (10, 14) are released in this position in such a manner that an ignition of the gas flow is made possible by a manual actuation thereof.

Abstract: A magnet unit is provided with a solenoid with a coil whose core is attached in a recess on the front side of a base, with a movable anchor activated by a recoil spring with a valve closing element and with a protective cap attached on a shoulder of the base within which the anchor and the solenoid are located, with a first end of the coil of the solenoid being led to a connecting contact located on the other front side of the base, the shoulder having, on its side facing away from the base, a circumferential annular flange located inside the protective cap, enclosing and protruding over the front surface of the shoulder and a second end of the coil being attached on the front surface.

Abstract: A gas socket is to be provided which can be used for surface installation. The final installation of the gas socket must still be possible after the construction of the installation site has been fully completed. Replacement of the externally visible area of the gas socket shall also be possible. For this purpose, the gas socket comprises a housing (1), a shutoff device (10), a retaining element (29) and a cover (35) open on its face-side. The housing (1) is mounted in a torsion-proof way in the retaining element (29) which is connected with the wall (28) in a stationary way. The shutoff device (10) can be mounted on the retaining element (29). The cover (35) has an opening (36) in one of its side walls for an inlet port (2) and otherwise surrounds the housing (1) in a freely movable way, while it is supported on the wall (28) on the one hand and on the shutoff device (10) on the other when the shutoff device (10) is fastened.

Abstract: It shall be created a gas plug connector that allows a positional adjustment of the same in relation to the outer wall surface and in this way enables compensation of positional setoffs as regards the stationary gas pipe installation. To achieve this, the gas plug connector comprises a casing (1), a shut-off device (2) and a fastening element (3). The tube-shaped nozzle (12) of the shut-off device (2) protrudes in a gas-tight manner into the casing (1) which has in its interior a groove (8) inside which rests a spring holding ring (10). Said holding ring (10) allows the nozzle (12) to slip into the casing (1), but prevents the nozzle (12) from slipping out of the casing (1). The fastening element (3) is on its one side attached to the wall (31) and on its other side to the shut-off device (2).

Abstract: It shall be created a gas socket that allows a gas connector plug to get quickly connected and disconnected. When no gas connector plug is connected the gas socket should be tamper-proof and offer protection against the ingress of foreign matter. Also, the gas socket should be fit for concealed installation. Accordingly, the gas socket has a bonnet (18) that shuts the connector opening (20) at the outlet socket (3) by means of a cover (21) when the gas connector plug is disconnected, and where said cover (21) is equipped with a latching device (29). Such latching device (29) is brought into a state ready for unlatching by a first attempt to insert the gas connector plug (24), to which the cover's (21) latching device (29) is adjusted, into an uptake opening (23). At least one additional move of the gas connector plug (24) is needed to make the connector opening (20) of the outlet socket (3) accessible for the gas connector plug (24) to be connected.

Abstract: There is to be created a gas flow monitoring device in which the adjustment/alteration of the reseat flow can also be made without the need of changes to its design, that is to say even after its manufacture. In particular, it should be possible to adjust the reseat flow at the time of its installation on site. To this end, the gas flow monitoring device consists of a gas-tight casing (1) with a valve seat (6) in its interior for a reseat body (14) that can freely move inside the casing (1). Said reseat body (14) is fastened to a pin (11) that is supported by bearings located in both the inlet guide (7) and the outlet guide (8). Said reseat body (14) is kept in open position by a reseat spring (16) that rests with its one end on the outlet guide (8) and with its other end on the reseat body (14) itself. At the inlet guide (7) there is arranged a spacer block (17) that acts as a stop point (18) for the reseat body (14) with the gas flow monitoring device in open position.

Abstract: A gas pressure regulator shall be created that shows reproducible features even at minimum through flow values, and at the same time allows keeping its lock up characteristic. In addition, gas burners operated at a large modulating range shall allow ignition as well, with the internal pressure drop being kept as low as possible. Also, manufacturing expenses and number of gasproof connections shall be kept at a minimum. To achieve this, the inlet-side chamber and the outlet-side chamber are connected to each other—in addition to the existing passage that is used for pressure regulating purposes—by one or more separate openings with each of such opening forming a seat for a closing body that is individually assigned to said opening and guided in axial direction to its seat, whereat each such closing body is connected to the armature of an solenoid valve assigned to it.

Abstract: A thermal safety device for cutting off gas pipelines, wherein gas transfer is prevented by the safety device when temperature increases in the section of the gas pipeline placed downstream from the safety device, especially when connected gas apparatuses are in a closed position maintains production costs and dimensions at a level as low as possible. The safety device includes a check valve which prevents backflow from the gas pipeline which is placed downstream from the device. The inventive device also includes a pressure sensitive element placed downstream from the safety device which is actuated by the pressure in the pipeline. The pressure sensitive element is coupled to a cut-off valve in such a way that when pressure increases in the downstream pipeline the valve prevents gas from flowing into the pipeline.

Abstract: A gas stream monitor shall be provided that facilitates the adjustment of the reseat flow. The gas stream monitor consists of a gas-tight casing whose interior is equipped with a seat for a reseat body that is movable inside the casing and is kept in open position against the flow direction by weight and/or spring force, in which the flow cross-section, surface area of the reseat body and the forces are determined in such a manner that gas stream monitor leaves its open position at a defined value of the reseat flow and is moved towards the seat of the casing, so that the gas conduit is closed in the shut position, and has outside the casing at least one manipulator to adjust the spring pre-tension and/or the stroke of the reseat body. The gas stream monitor serves to automatically shut off gas conduits upon the occurrence of an inadmissible flow increase due to, e.g. a damaged gas conduit or a defective consumer.

Abstract: Inside the casing (1), there are three or more ribs (8) arranged with their longitudinal axes parallel to the closing body's direction of movement when closing so that each rib forms a slide-way for the closing body (5) moving from open into closed position. Into each of these ribs there is cut a first groove (10) in which is placed a shaped part (11) that supports the closing spring (9). At least the ribs arranged approximately opposite to the tappet (20) have a second groove whose side facing the seat (7) forms a rest edge (18) on which the control edge may rest when the closing body is in open position. When the fusible soft solder component (21) is melting away, the tappet changes its position in axial direction under the force exercised by the closing spring. Due to this change of position, the control edge is no longer resting on the rest edge, and the closing body driven by the dosing spring switches over into its close position.

Abstract: A gas control valve is disclosed which enables a variable adjustment of the gas flows. Furthermore, a remote control may be utilized in conjunction with the gas control valve. The manufacturing expense and the size is kept at the lowest possible minimum. The main valve in the casing is followed by a switch which is known per se and equipped with a springy element and which, in conjunction with two valves, enables a modulating control with jerk-like on/off switching in the partial load range. This switch can be actuated by a tappet which is movable in longitudinal direction and projects beyond the gas-bearing casing to the outside and whose position can be changed by means of an operating element. The operating element can be actuated manually and/or via a driving unit in the form of an electrically driven motor coupled with a battery. The gas control valve for a gas-heated fireplace or similar installation serves the largest possible manipulation of the visible flames, in particular for decorative reasons.

Abstract: A thermal safety device is disclosed which, in the area of the closing element, has an uninterrupted circular cross section. Furthermore, the axial guiding of the closing element during the closing stroke is ensured. In the axial continuation of a seat located within the casing there is a guide pin. A closing spring is aligned on this guide pin, and, when taut, the spring is situated as far as possible inside a blind hole, with a throat acting as a control edge, inside the closing element. Under the influence of the closing spring, a ram forming a part of a detecting element, keeps the control edge adjacent to a clip-stop edge when the safety device is in the open position. Once the thermal solder element melts away, however, the resulting change in position of the ram allows the control edge to move away from the click-stop edge, so that the closing element, under the influence of the closing spring, moves into a closed position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a thermal safety fitting in which the closure motion of the obturator is longitudinal with respect to the obturator seat. The aim is to avoid lateral excursions of the obturator, while keeping manufacturing costs and structural size as low as possible. The obturator (12) is held in the open position in the housing (1) on the longitudinal axis of the obturator seat (28) by means of a generally U-shaped element (30). The two arms (9) of the U-shaped element (30) are located in the vicinity of a reduced-diameter section (17) of the obturator (12). The part (13) of the U-shaped element (30) joining the two arms (9) rests against a thermosolder (14). If the thermosolder (14) melts, the arms (9) no longer remain in the reduced-diameter section (17) owing to the change in the position of the U-shaped element (30), and the obturator (12) thus moves into the closed position under the action of a closing spring (24).

Abstract: Fitting, especially for a continuous flow water heater.The submitted invention takes as its basis the problem of developing a fitting of the named type by which the formation of calcareous deposits on the rod protruding from the water control housing is lessened and the influence of such calcareous deposits on the controller action is completely eliminated.The problem is solved in that within water control housing (2), the control motion of membrane (24) is transmitted to a lever (3) whose center of rotation forms a shaft (4), rigidly connected to this lever (3) and whose pivot is sealed, leading to the exterior of water control housing (2). At the same time, shaft (4) is also the center of rotation for a second lever (5) which is likewise rigidly connected to it.

Abstract: The invention takes as its basis the problem of creating a safety sealing device for gas pipes by which the bearing of the valve body should be frictionless, require no maintenance and which causes only minimal flow resistance. Further the safety sealing device should not require outward sealing connections. It should be easy to install and able to be fitted into existing gas piping or fittings without having to change them.The problem is solved in that with safety sealing devices with a valve body (6) which can be pressed against a valve seat (1), whereby the valve body (6) is supported so that it is movable in the axial direction of the valve seat (1) is against the force of a locking spring (8), the valve body is conducted only through a spring and is otherwise freely movable without additional support points.The invention concerns a safety sealing device for closing gas conduits in cases of damage, e.g.

Abstract: The invention takes as a basis the problem of developing a thermo-electric safety igniter with a reignition lock on a gas valve combination which is suitable for using a rotary slide as main valve for the main gas flow and the pilot gas flow. The problem is solved in that a half-disc, whose ends are located in a notch, is arranged on part of the operating rod intruding into the housing chamber such that when the main valve is closed and the valve head of the safety igniter valve is in the open position, the ends of the half disc cooperate with the notch to prevent opening movement of the main valve. The hoop has a blade or tongue whose length is dimensioned such that the hoop ends are moved out of the notch when the igniter safety valve closes and the main valve remains closed.The invention refers to a thermo-electric safety igniter with a reignition lock on a gas valve combination for a gas heating furnace or similar for controlling the main gas flow and the pilot gas flow.
