Abstract: A contact adapted to be used in conjunction with an electric wire prearranged with a tip connection terminal, of essentially rigid type, and including reception means of the terminal for at least one prevailing part of the length of the same in a direction of insertion (A), electric interface means between tip and contact, against which the terminal is in use abuttingly withheld, and elastic locking means prearranged between the reception means and the electric interface means so as to press in use with predetermined pressure the terminal against the electric interface means and at the same time cooperate with the terminal forming a first angle with the direction of insertion so as to prevent by seizing the extraction of the terminal from the reception means in the direction of insertion; wherein the elastic means and the reception means are shaped so as to allow a user to displace the terminal, against the bias of the elastic means, obliquely with respect to the interface means and to the direction of insert

Abstract: A device including high voltage generating means accommodated in an electrical insulating casing, spark generating means adapted to be arranged near respective burners of a household appliance to be ignited and electrical connection means between the high voltage generating means and the spark generating means; the high voltage generating means include a single secondary winding of a transformer provided with a single high voltage output contact and a single return contact, connectable to ground; the spark generating means include for each burner a pair of electrodes reciprocally insulated and arranged side-by-side at a predetermined distance such that to allow in use the generation of sparks between the same; the electrical connection means include a single electrical wire connected to a single output of the high voltage generating means connecting in series together all the existing electrode pairs and divided by the electrodes of each pair of a plurality of segments reciprocally and electrically insulated

Abstract: A device for controlling the gas-burner rings of a cooking surface includes a gas tap equipped with a control knob and a catenary element for control of ignition of the gas-burner rings. The catenary element includes a microswitch actuated selectively by a bushing carried via snap action by an axially mobile element of the gas tap provided with the control knob. The bushing is made of a synthetic plastic material and includes a sleeve for installation on the mobile element of the gas tap and a flange configured to bear upon the microswitch to actuate it as a result of a motion of translation of the mobile element of the gas tap. The bushing is internally provided with a detent and has a radial slit, which interrupts its continuity and in a corresponding angular position of which the bushing is also provided with a pair of opposed circumferential slots that interrupt the continuity of the detent.

Abstract: An electric gas lighter for generating sparks at one or more burners of a cooking range, and including a transformer having a primary winding, and a secondary winding divided into a number of coils, each having output terminals, and which are wound on respective axially adjacent portions of a substantially cylindrically symmetrical drum forming part of a supporting member made of insulating material and formed in one piece with supports projecting tangentially with respect to the drum and each supporting a respective terminal defined by a blade contact; the coils are connected electrically to one another in series to form one secondary winding, which has been obtained by winding continuously, i.e. without making cuts, an insulated electrically conducting wire onto the drum to form the coils; the wire being wound alternately onto the drum in an opposite direction for each coil; and the winding direction being inverted upon the wire engaging each terminal located axially between two adjacent coils.
