  • a manual gas tap for a cooking appliance is of the type with a conical adjustment entry which adjusts the gas flow. It is located in a central socket in the tap body and is coupled to a rotating drive shaft. A tap cover closes off the central socket. A transverse pin ensures the rotation of the rotating shaft to a two interval position which corresponds to the highest and lowest flows of gas, and to an intermediate locking position depending on the gas feed.
  • the tap cover is in the form of a tubular bush shroud, and includes a gasket base with a sliding surface within a circular circlip with many notches on it. The circular circlip notches are in frictional contact with a transverse pin, thus creating a tactile and auditory effect.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide tactile feedback in the adjustment of levels of gas flow when adjusting gas flow by rotating the gas tap of a cooker appliance. Additionally, a purpose of the invention is to provide modularity to the elements which provide tactile feedback, rendering them detachable from the gas tap.
  • the invention is a cooking appliance which includes a carcass, a front panel on the carcass, a button fitted to the front panel, a flow control element which regulates gas flow by driving force provided by a shaft connected to a button, and a gas tap equipped with a tap body with hollow interior into which a flow control element is seated.
