Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking apparatus with a safety device including a tilting cover.
  • the safety device included in the cooking apparatus according to the invention can be usually applied to the ranges, but it could be also used for other household electric appliances in which, in order to actuate the operation of the appliance, it is necessary to preliminarly displace a cover, or drive a knob for shutting off the supply.
  • thermocouples thermocouples
  • Another system which is mainly used in northern countries provides for the use of mechanical shutoff valves, which are driven as the appliance cover is displaced, thereby exclusively with the cover in its open condition, the gas ejectors of the appliance are supplied with gas.
  • the document US-A-2 115 305 describes a cooking apparatus with a safety device having substantially the features of the pre-characterizing portion of the main claim.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a safety device, to be applied to cooking apparatus and the like, which is very simple construction-wise and allows the gas flow controlling knobs or levers to be operated exclusively as the cooking apparatus or appliance cover is in its open position.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a safety device, for application to cooking apparatus in general, which is specifically designed to lock the operation of the apparatus as the cover is closed, while causing the control knobs of the cooking apparatus to return to their closure positions.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a safety device, for application to cooking apparatus in general, which can be easily and quickly applied to existing cooking apparatus, without interferering against a conventional mass assembling procedure of these apparatus.
  • the above disclosed device is such that, with the cover in its closed condition, the high lever ratio of the cover prevents the control knobs from being turned, and thus this knobs will be held locked in their closed condition.
  • the closure of the cover will cause the gas supplying cocks or power supply means to be automatically closed.
  • the safety device for application to cooking apparatus or the like, including a tilting cover, according to the present invention, comprises a lever arm 1 rigid with the pivoted end or edge portion of the cover 2 of a generic cooking apparatus or range 3 and downwardly extending.
  • the lever arm supports, at the bottom thereof, a rotary pin 4 therewith there is associated a threaded tension element 5, including a tension spring 6 and retaining, by clamping, small connecting cables or tie rods 7.
  • lever arm 1 can be arranged outside of (Figure 1) or inside (Figure 2) the range casing, and that the turning socket can also be of the multiple recess type, as shown in Figure 7.
  • the free end portions of said small cables are affixed, by clampling means or the like, perimetrically of a clearing cam 8 which is mounted on the pin or shaft 9 of corresponding cocks 10 of a substantially conventional type.
  • the small cables are entrained across and offset on the related clearing cams, by means of bearing wheel elements 11 mounted on corresponding vertical pins 12 rigid with the range casing.
  • this operating knob as shown in Figure 3, can be separated from its respective cam by means of a disc element 17 bearing the mentioned entraining pin, and being rigid with the cock shaft, so as to be turned therewith.
  • the knob can be freely turned, either to its open or to its closed condition, depending on requirements.
  • the safety device according to the invention can also be applied on an additional cock, or on a driver cock, controlling the gas supply of subsequent flame cocks.
  • the gas supply line at 19 a conventional type of gas burner, and at 20 a supporting grid cooperating with the burner.
