The pole may be positioned to be in magnetic communication with at least part of the armature through the gas valve body. The valve may further include a coil situated outside the gas valve body. The coil may be wound about the pole such that activation of the coil produces a magnetic flux that is carried to an end of the pole, through the gas valve body, and to the armature, resulting in movement of the armature, and movement of the valve between the open position and the closed position.

Gas cooktops disclosed herein may include a proportional solenoid valve controlling gas flow to a gas burner, where the proportional solenoid valve has a continuously variable range of positions. A user interface (UI) element associated with the proportional solenoid valve may be utilized to control a linear voltage regulator having a continuously variable output voltage. The output voltage of the linear voltage regulator is coupled to a solenoid of the proportional solenoid valve, such that the gas flow to the gas burner has a linear relationship with the output voltage of the linear voltage regulator.

A gas safety valve adapted to a domestic appliance is provided that includes an electromagnet, a phase wire and a ground wire. A support of the electromagnet includes a housing in which resides a phase closure. A segment of the phase wire and a segment of the ground wire are respectively electrically connected with the phase closure and with the support. According to one embodiment the valve includes a connector inserted in the housing of the support. The connector having inserted therein a first end portion of a phase terminal and a first end portion of a ground terminal that are respectively electrically connected with the phase closure and an inner area of the support. Each of the phase terminal and ground terminal including a second end portion that resides exposed to the outside of the valve.

The present invention discloses a regulating mechanism regulating the flows from a plurality of gas outlets in a fuel gas valve, comprising an actuator, a push rod, a presser plate assembly, regulating rods and a valve body. Wherein the valve body has a plurality of gas outlets, a regulating rod is provided in each regulating port which exists between the gas inlet and each gas outlet, a resetting device is provided between each regulating rod and the valve body, and the actuator drives the push rod which is around by the regulating ports to move along the axis. The push rod causes the presser plate assembly to move up and down to press or relax the regulating rods and simultaneously change the degree of opening between the head portion of each regulating rod and the corresponding regulating port so that the flow from each gas outlet changes synchronously.

According to one embodiment a gas shut-off valve is provided with an intermediate port communicating a gas inlet an a gas outlet, a closing member moveable between a closed position and an open position, the intermediate port being blocked when the closing member is in the closed position. The shut-off valve includes a magnetic actuator having at least one permanent magnet and a movable element, attached to the closing member, with a ferromagnetic element adhered to the permanent magnet when the closing member is in an open position. A manual actuator of the shut-off valve is configured to move the closing member to the open position. A temperature sensing device is included that has a rod that expands and shrinks with temperature changes, with one end of the rod facing the movable element. The expansion of the rod at a closing temperature causing a pushing on the ferromagnetic element, moving the closing member from the open position to the closed position.

Electromagnetic gas valve with a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a closure member that is displaceable between an opening position and a closing position. A maximum flow is supplied through the gas outlet with the closure member in the open position and a minimum flow being supplied with the closure member in the closed position. The valve includes a main fluid channel with a closure hole through which the maximum flow is supplied to the gas outlet. The closure member includes a secondary fluid channel calibrated for the minimum flow to pass therethrough, such that the closure member in the closed position covers the closure hole and allows the passage of gas through the secondary fluid channel.

A gas fixture safety cover comprising: a plurality of walls, and a plurality of nozzle slots located in the walls, and plurality of handle slots located in the walls, the walls and slots configured to allow the gas fixture safety cover to slide over a gas fixture and abut a countertop if all of the gas valve handles are in an off position, and further configured to prevent the gas fixture safety cover from sliding over a gas fixture and abutting a counter top if any of the gas valve handles are in a turned on position.

A valve actuator (10) includes an electric motor (12) that opens, and also closes if need be, the valve via a gearing (15). A voltage supply device (19) has an input rectifier circuit and a buffer device (24) connected thereto, for example in the form of a capacitor C. From the voltage buffered by the capacitor C, a motor control circuit (25) obtains the energy for operating the electric motor (12). To prevent the valve (11) from being kept open too long after the voltage supply at the input (20) has been switched off, a switch-off device (34) is provided, which, after elimination of the voltage at the input (20), cuts off the energy flow from the voltage buffer device (24) to the electric motor (12).

Regulating valve for a gas cooking appliance according to one embodiment includes a valve body with an inlet conduit, at least one outlet conduit and an inner cavity in fluid communication with the inlet conduit. The regulating valve also includes a rotating disc in contact with a wall of the valve body that partially defines the inner cavity. The rotating disc includes at least one connecting opening for regulating the gas flow between the inner cavity and the outlet conduit by means of rotation. Operating means is connected to the rotating disc for rotating it. The regulating valve is adapted for supplying different types of combustible gas, the rotating disc being arranged in a different angular position, depending on the type of gas to be supplied, when the operating means is arranged in a reference position.

A heater structure includes a heater body including a burner connected to a valve switch. A pilot fire assembly is covered by a protective cover that has ventilation holes. A switch unit includes an ignition switch, a shut-down switch, an ignition operator, and a shut-down operator. The ignition operator and the shut-down operator are structured to provide a swingable arrangement. The ignition operator may be operated to contact and press the fuel gas valve rod and the ignition switch to open the valve switch for supply fuel gas to the burner and to activate an ignition circuit to cause successive shootings of an ignition pin of the pilot fire assembly to set a flame on the burner. The shut-down operator is operated to contact and press the shut-down switch, so as to cut off a signal of the thermocouple and thus cut off the supply of the fuel gas.
