Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gas tap of the type having a conical regulating plug and a rotary operated shaft used in a gas cooking appliance, and particularly to the definition of different positions for regulating gas.
- Gas taps with rotation means that allow rotating plugs for regulating the gas flow are known. These rotation means have elements limiting said rotation to an angle between an initial locking position or OFF position for cutting off the gas supply, and an open position for supplying a specific gas flow. These taps comprise positioning means which allow audibly indicating when a predetermined position of the rotation means has been reached.
- GB682095 A describes a gas tap comprising a tap body with a conical inner housing suitable for receiving a rotary conical regulating plug for regulating the gas flow, and a manually operated rotary shaft integrally coupled to the conical regulating plug, and provided with transverse locking means for locking rotation.
- Said transverse locking means comprise a positioning washer integrally fitted to the rotary shaft, said fitting allowing the axial sliding and not the rotary sliding over said shaft, the washer projecting perpendicularly from said shaft, and having at least one pair of projections on the outer edge, between which gaps are formed in which steel balls are housed.
- the transverse means also comprise an elastic washer mounted in the rotary shaft which can rotate about the shaft and slide axially along the shaft. The steel balls of the positioning washer are supported on the elastic washer and project from the upper face of the positioning washer.
- the gas tap comprises a return spring of the rotary shaft, which is mounted on the shaft and retained between a flange of the shaft and the lower part of the elastic washer.
- the gas tap also comprises a cover covering the housing of the tap body, said cover guiding the rotation of the shaft with the cooperation of the transverse locking means. Said rotation is limited by means existing in the cover and in the positioning washer, at an angle between a closed position without a gas supply, and an open position for supplying a specific gas flow.
- the cover comprises a planar inner sliding surface comprising at least one positioning means, the transverse locking means sliding along said planar sliding surface by means of the balls of the positioning washer when the shaft is subjected to a rotation action.
- the gas regulation is linear between different gas flow positions, and when the closed position is reached, the balls of the positioning washer interact with the positioning means of the cover, retaining the balls in said position and producing a sound notifying the user that the closed position has been reached.

- the inner sliding surface of the cover comprises a plurality of housings for the transverse locking means, in the movement thereof over said sliding surface, these housings defining different positions for regulating the gas flow.
- the main advantage of the invention is that, while in the prior art the rotation of the shaft for operating the tap allows regulating the gas flow linearly and progressively, the gas tap of the invention allows regulating the gas flow discretely, i.e., it defines different specific positions with a specific gas flow in each position. This allows the user to relate the specific positions for regulating the gas with cooking habits.

Figure 1 , an embodiment of the gas tap for a cooking appliance of the invention comprises atap body 2 with a conicalinner housing 2a, suitable for receiving a rotary conical regulatingplug 3 for regulating the gas flow G. The tap 1 also comprises a manually operated rotary shaft 4 coupled to the conical regulatingplug 3, said rotary shaft 4 being provided with atransverse means 6 for locking rotation, areturn spring 5 of the rotary shaft 4, and acover 7 covering thehousing 2a of thetap body 2, and guiding the rotation of the shaft 4 in cooperation with thetransverse means 6. The shaft 4 can rotate at an angle A in any of the two directions, usually greater than 160°, for supplying the gas flow G, which is determined by the position of thetransverse means 6, as shown inFigure 2 . The angle A is developed from aninitial position 8 corresponding to the OFF position for cutting off the gas flow supply, and a final position 9 corresponding to a minimum gas flow, passing through an intermediate maximum gassupply flow position 12. Thecover 7 is in the form of a tubular bushing, comprising a narrow tubular part the inner diameter of which fits with the diameter of the shaft 4, a cylindrical part provided with a closing base resting against thetap body 2, and with a substantially larger diameter than the diameter of the tubular part, and a flap projecting from the closing base having two fixing tabs for fixing the closing base against thetap body 2. - The
cover 7 comprises asliding surface 10 on its inner face extending in the angle of rotation A, the transverse means 6 sliding over thesliding surface 10 when the rotary shaft 4 is subjected to a rotation action. The inner slidingsurface 10 is a surface that is recessed in an axial direction with respect to the closing edge of thecover 7, being arranged at thebottom 15 of saidcover 7. Said slidingsurface 10 comprises a plurality ofhousings 11, specifically five in the embodiment shown inFigure 2 , thetransverse means 6 being placed in saidhousings 11 in the movement thereof over saidsurface 10 when the rotary shaft 4 is subjected to a rotation action. Different positions for regulating the gas flow G are thereby defined when thetransverse means 6 are located in thehousings 11. - As shown in
Figure 3 , thesliding surface 10 of thecover 7 is developed over an arc length I less than arc length L of the angle A of rotation of the shaft 4. The housings are arranged in an undulatedsector 13 of the slidingsurface 10, the undulatedsector 13 being limited between themaximum flow position 12 and the minimum flow position 9. In this embodiment, themaximum flow position 12 is in a position of the angle A which is approximately 90°, and the minimum flow position 9 is in a position of the angle A of approximately 210°, as shown inFigure 4 . In other embodiments, the minimum flow position 9 can be between approximately 160° and 270°. - The undulated
sector 13 is a series ofprotuberances 14, i.e., small mounds with an up ramp and down ramp, with an intermediate preferably round summit, thehousings 11 being arranged between every twoprotuberances 14 such that the undulatedsector 13 is converted into a series of slopes and valleys. Themaximum flow position 12 is therefore arranged at the beginning of the ramp of thefirst protuberance 14, considering the path from the closed OFF position, and the minimum flow position 9 is in thelast housing 11, also considering the path from the closed OFF position, as can be seen inFigures 1 and 2 . -
Figure 5 shows a plan view of thecover 7 in which section line VI-VI which allows showing the undulatedsector 13 is defined.Figure 6 shows a section view of thecover 7 according to line VI-VI, where theprotuberances 14 and thehousings 11 can be seen. Theprotuberances 14 have a height h measured from the bottom of thehousings 11 to the peak of theprotuberances 14. Said height h is comprised between approximately 0.4 millimeters and approximately 0.8 millimeters. - The sliding
surface 10, which is arranged at thebottom 15 of thecover 7, is surrounded by a substantiallycircular wall 16. The slidingsurface 10 extends between ahousing groove 17 for housing thetransverse means 6, corresponding to theinitial position 8 or closed OFF position of the rotation of the shaft 4, and the minimum flow position 9. Thegroove 17 is substantially located at the same height as thesliding surface 10 and has the same width as the width of thetransverse means 6 partially housed in saidgroove 17. For the exit of the transverse means 6 from thegroove 17, the shaft 4 is pushed by the user towards the inside of the tap 1, overcoming the force F of thereturn spring 5, and then the gas flow is supplied by means of rotating the shaft 4 from themaximum flow position 12. Thegroove 17 comprises anend 18 that is closed with astop wall 19 substantially perpendicular to thewall 16, closing off the trajectory of the angle A of the shaft 4. The trajectory of the angle A is closed off at the other end by means of astop wall 20 substantially perpendicular to thewall 16. - The
sliding surface 10 also comprises alinear sector 21 extending from thegroove 17 to themaximum flow position 12. The beginning of thelinear sector 21, considering the position of the beginning from the closed OFF position, has a short and substantially upwardsector 22 in the closing direction of the tap 1, such that when the tap 1 is closed by sliding thetransverse means 6 along thelinear sector 21, it overcomessector 22 to be introduced in thegroove 17. When opening the tap 1, the rest of the path of thelinear sector 21 until themaximum flow position 12 is substantially planar, allowing gentle sliding of thetransverse means 6 and therefore gentle rotation of the rotary shaft 4. - The transverse means 6 for locking the rotation in the embodiment of the gas tap shown in
Figures 1 and 2 is a pin transversely housed in the rotary shaft 4, but in other embodiments it can be a transverse projection forming a single part with the rotary shaft 4, this transverse projection preferably having a substantially rectangular shape. When the transverse means 6 slide over thesliding surface 10, it is exerting a friction force due to the force F exerted by thereturn spring 5. A tactile and/or sound indication of the rotation of the rotary shaft 4 which the user can perceive is produced in the undulatedsector 13 of thesliding surface 10, and due to the sliding of the transverse means 6 over theprotuberances 15 andhousings 11. - When the
transverse means 6 is located in thehousings 11, different positions for regulating the gas flow G are defined, which allows discretely regulating the gas flow, i.e., defining different specific positions with a specific gas flow range. This defined position of thehousings 11 allows defining visual indications that can be related with the user's cooking habits. For example by graphically indicating on the control knob, or in the control panel, or directly in the gas cooking appliance (not shown), the positions for regulating gas corresponding to the different positions of the gas tap 1. - The
cover 7 of the gas tap 1 is made from a thin metal sheet by means of stamping operations, the different parts of saidcover 7 being formed such that subsequent machining operations can be omitted. However, thecover 7 can also be made by means of molding a lightweight metal alloy, performing subsequent machining operations.
