Abstract: A device is provided for controlling the ignition of gas burners of a domestic cooking appliance. The device includes an electric switch with an insulating casing that carries a pair of fixed electric contacts. A movable body carries a movable electric contact that cooperates with the fixed electric contacts. The movable body is displaceable with respect to the casing between an open position and a closed position. An elastic element elastically pushes movable body toward the open position. A flexible cable has a first end that is anchored to the movable body and a second end that is anchored to a fixed support. A plurality of actuating members is associated with respective gas taps and have movable elements that cooperate with respective sections of the flexible cable. Each actuating member can bend a respective portion of the flexible cable into corrugated shape during the opening of the respective gas tap.

Abstract: A height adjusting device for shelves of appliances, in particular for dishwasher racks, has a pivoting stop element that can swing on its own weight between an engaged and disengaged position about a pivot point attached to a support. The stop element, when in the engaged position, interacts with a bracket on a shelf as it is raised with respect to the support to engage stop seats on that bracket to set the rack to a given height. When the rack is fully raised, a feature of the bracket tips the pivoting stop element to the disengaged position so that the rack may be lowered.

Abstract: Device for controlling the ignition of gas burners (12) of a domestic cooking appliance, comprising: an electric switch (24) including an insulating casing (26) carrying a pair of fixed electric contacts (28), a movable body (30) carrying a movable electric contact (32) cooperating with said fixed electric contacts (28), wherein the movable body (30) is displaceable with respect to the casing (26) between an open position and a closed position, and an elastic element (34) which elastically pushes said movable body (30) towards said open position, a flexible cable (36) stretched along a rectilinear direction, having a first end (38) anchored to said movable body (30) and a second end (42) anchored to a fixed support, and a plurality of actuating members (50) associated with respective gas taps (14) and having respective movable elements (54) which cooperate with respective sections of said flexible cable (36) and bend according to a corrugated shape respective portions of the flexible cable (36) during the

Abstract: Height-adjusting device for shelves of appliances, in particular for dishwasher racks, comprising: a support (18), a stop element (30) hinged with the support (18) at a bottom end (32) thereof and having a latch (34) at a top end thereof, wherein the stop element (30) pivots about a hinging axis (B) under the action of its own weight between an engaged position and a disengaged position, where the latch (34) is located on opposite sides relative to a vertical plane passing through the hinging axis (B), a stop bracket (38) guided in a vertical direction relative to said support (18), wherein the stop bracket (38) comprises a cam surface (42) having at least one stop seat (44), which can be engaged by said latch (34) when the stop element (30) is in said engaged position, and a guide surface (48) against which said stop element (30) rests in the disengaged position, wherein the stop element (30) has a bottom surface (62) which comes into contact with a bottom bearing surface (64) of the cam surface (42) a
