Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide a device made of relatively simple mechanical elements, intended to lock and unlock the knobs used for opening the flow of gas for stoves, heaters or similar equipment, which is used as a safety system to prevent accidental intoxication, explosions or fires.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device made of metal bars or other resistant materials, intended for locking the rotary knobs that enable the circulation of gas in ranges, stoves or similar apparatuses, wherein said device comprises a sliding horizontal lockout knob behind the burners, connected to a control bar which, in turn, is connected or welded to a front bar that slides over rollers when the gas release knobs must be locked. Thus, lockout is achieved by means of a wedge that is part of the control rod and which is inserted in a hole made in the cylindrical shaft of the circulation knobs. The device is used as a safety system against poisonings, explosions or fires, which might occur upon accidentally releasing the circulation of gases.
