Abstract: A liquid fuel burner ignition device which includes a lock out device, having a bimetallic lamina or similar element, and an ignition transformer. The bimetallic lamina is so positioned as to be heated by electromagnetic induction, due to the effect of parasitic current induced therein by the flux of the ignition transformer. The ignition device is provided with a resistor which is adapted so as to also heat the bimetallic lamina.

Abstract: A device for liquid fuel burners includes an electrically controlled valve which allows the feeding of fuel to the burner, the valve being provided with a retaining winding for permanently allowing the flow of fuel when the burner is in operation. The device further includes a combustion chamber pre-purger and a resistor with determines the end of the pre-purging. The device also includes a flame signaller means having a photo-resistance which responds to a preset low light intensity so as to reduce the current flowing through the resistor to such an extent that its heating becomes insufficient to cause the end of the pre-purging. The photo-resistance responds to a high light intensity by activating the retaining winding of the valve and giving the signals necessary for causing the burner to enter its regular operating mode.
