  • Publication number: 20060234177
    Abstract: A timer knob arrangement for a heater includes an ignition button and a timer control. The ignition button is rotatably switched between a switched off position and an operation position with respect to an operation pin of the heater. The timer control includes a power unit, a runner wheel driven by the power unit and is rotatably supported by the ignition button at a position tangentially with respect to the operation pin, and a time control unit. When the time control unit is activated to actuate the power unit, the runner wheel is driven to rotate and to run on the operation surface, so as to drive the ignition button turning back to the switched off position for ensuring a flow of gas being shut off from the heater.

  • Publication number: 20050172686
    Abstract: A lock assembly includes a lock cylinder, for actuating a latch assembly, including a lock sleeve, first and second lock rotors, having first and second keyways respectively, rototably fitted in the lock sleeve, and a plurality of tumblers for locking up the first and second lock rotors. A key includes a key head having predetermined locking serrations arranged in such a manner that when the key head is inserted into the first keyway, the locking serrations are adapted to unlock the first lock rotor and enable the first lock rotor freely rotating until the first keyway is aligned with the second keyway, simultaneously, the key head being adapted to insert into the second keyway such that the locking serrations are adapted to unlock the second lock rotor to enable the second lock rotor to freely rotate to control the locking and unlocking of the latch assembly.
