Description

SPECIFICATION Gas supply assembly The present invention relates to a gas supply assembly intended particularly, but not exclusively for controlling the supply of gas to a burner, e.g. in a cooker.
According to the present invention there is provided a gas supply control assembly comprising a gas supply tube with a gas inlet and a gas outlet and a gast outlet valve wherein the gas outlet is provided as an aperture in the wall of the tube, the gas outlet valve is seated on the tube around the aperture, and securing means are provided for securing the outlet valve in position on the tube.
The gas supply assembly of the invention is particularly suitable for use in a gas cooking appliance in which case the outlet valve will be connected by conduit to a burner of the appliance. Such an appliance may have a fascia panel (or the like) behind which the assembly locates but through which a control stand or the like of the outlet valve projects.
The free end of this stem may have mounted thereon a control knob or the like for operating the valve, i.e. to turn the gas supply to the burner on or off and also to control the rate at which gas in supplied to the burner.
Preferably the outlet valve and the tube are provided with at least one flange, and the means for securing the outlet valve in position on the tube locates through the flanges.
Preferably also the ends of the tube are closed and there is a gas inlet in the wall of the tube. A gas inlet valve is peferably provided on the tube around the inlet aperture.
The inlet valve may be secured in position on the tube in the same way as the oulet valve.
The gas supply assembly may of course have a plurality of gas outlet apertures each extending through the wall of the tube and each associated with a respective outlet valve.
The invention will be further described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a front view of a part of a cooker incorporating one embodiment of gas supply assembly in accordance with this invention but omitting details of the fascia panel and control knob; Figure 2 is a plan view of the assembly shown in Fig. 1; and Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line Ill-Ill of Fig. 1.
The cooker 1 illustrated in Fig. 1 incorporates a gas supply assembly comprised of an aluminium gas supply rail 2, a gas inlet tap (or manifold) 3 and a gas outlet valve 4. The assembly locates behind a fascia panel 5 (see Fig. 2) through which a control stem 4a of outlet valve 4 projects. A control knob 6 is provided on the end of stem 4a as shown for operation of valve 4.
Rail 2 is formed of a tube 7 closed at its ends by plugs 8 and formed at one side along its length with two oppositely directed flanges 9. The rail 2 is supported on the cooker 1 by brackets 10 (secured to flanges 9 by bolts 11) and brackets 12 secured to both the cooker body and the brackets 10.
The oulet valve 4 is mounted on tube 7 around an outlet aperture 13 in the upper side of the tube. The wall of the tube is recessed in the region of this aperture to allow outlet valve 4 to seat on the tube. A sealing washer 14 locating around the aperture is interposed between the valve body and the pipe to ensure a tight seal. Valve 4 has two flanges 15 and is secured on rail 2 by bolts 16 which pass through the flanges 15 and the flanges 9. It will be appreciated that the outlet from valve 4 is connected by conduit to a burner (not shown) of the cooker. Supply of gas to the burner is controlled by rotation of knob 5 in the conventional way. It will be further appreciated that more than one valve 4 may be mounted on the tube 7 in the manner described.
Inlet manifold 3 is mounted on rail 2 in amanner entirely analagous to that in which outlet valve 4 is mounted. This manifold 3 (which incorporates a conventional pressure test unit 17) has a connection (not shown) to a gas-source so that gas may be supplied via tube 7 to be outlet valve 4.
It will of course be appreciated that valve 4 will have a connection (not shown) to a burner or the like on the cooker and also that a plurality of valves 4 (each associated with a respective outlet aperture in the tube 7) may be provided on the rail 2.

A gas supply control assembly comprising a gas supply tube with a gas inlet and a gas outlet valve wherein the gas outlet is provided as a aperture in the wall of the tube, the gas outlet valve is seated on the tube around the aperture, and securing means are provided for securing the outlet valve in position on the tube.
2. An assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the outlet valve and the tube are each provided with at least one flange, and the means for securing the outlet valve in position locates through said flanges.
3. An assembly as claimed in claim 2 wherein the tube and the valve each have a pair of flanges, the flanges of each pair project laterally of the tube in opposite directions thereof such that each flange of the valve faces a flange of the tube, and means for securing the valve in position on the tube locate through a flange of the valve and the facing flange of the tube.
4. An assembly as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein the wall of the tube is recessed to facilitate seating of the valve on
