[0028]

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the present invention is used as a gas stove. In this state, the case member 5 is pivoted upward about the horizontal axis a, and the burner head 16a projects from the through hole 35 of the dish-shaped member 6.

In the switching valve 19, the rod 21
Of the gas distribution port 25a connected to the burner head 16a, from the simple gas cylinder mounting member 17 to the switching valve 19 through the pipe 26, and from the gas supply port 24 to the annular concave groove 28 and the inflow hole 29. , Connecting hole 3
A communication passage 32 is formed to reach the gas distribution port 25a through the first and outlet holes 30, and a gas flow path to the gas combustion member 16a is formed through the pipe 27a.

Accordingly, the gas supplied from the simple gas cylinder 18 is supplied to the burner head 16a through the gas flow path, and can be used as a gas stove. Further, at this time, the dish-shaped member 6 acts as a juice receiver below the burner head 16a, and the guard member 7 can be used for cooking by placing an object to be cooked or a pot on the guard member 7 as a virtue.

Next, when this gas appliance is used as a gas heater, the case member 5 is turned counterclockwise in FIG. Press the operation button 14 and press the operation rod 1
4 is slid to the left in FIG. 4 against the elasticity of the spring means 12, as shown in FIG.
The one notch 15 coincides with the turning bracket 9, and the case member 5 can turn with the turning bracket 9.

In this state, the dish-shaped member 6 is opened from the case member 5 as shown by a chain line in FIG. 6, and the case member 5 is rotated counterclockwise. When the case member 5 rotates and the heater head 16b comes to the center position, the notch 13 corresponding to the heater head 16b in the rotating bracket 9 matches the operation rod 11, and the operation rod 11 is
4 with the elasticity of 2, the operation rod 11 engages with the notch 13, and the rotation of the rotating bracket 9 becomes impossible.

When the dish-shaped member 6 is closed again in this state, the heater head 16b projects from the through hole 35 as shown in FIG. 6, and can be used as a gas heater for heating. At this time, the dish member 6 functions as a reflector at the back of the heater head 16b, and the guard member 7 functions as a protective guard.

When the rotating bracket 9 rotates, the arm 23 also rotates, and the rod 21 of the switching valve 19 rotates. As a result, the direction of the outflow hole 30 in the rod 21 changes to coincide with the gas distribution port 25b communicating with the heater head 16b. Therefore, the gas flow path from the simple gas cylinder mounting member 17 to the burner head 16a is shut off, and a new gas flow path to the heater head 16b is formed.
The gas is supplied to 6b.

Further, by operating the operation button 14 and rotating the case member 5 upward, the burner head 16a is again used and the burner head 1a is again used.
The gas can be supplied to 6a and used as a gas stove.

[0036]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a single appliance can be used as a gas stove by turning the case member 5 upward in the example of the drawing, and the case member 5 can be used as a gas stove. By rotating in the direction, it can be used as a gas heater, and can switch and use two types of gas appliances depending on the rotating position of the case member 5.

In the example shown in the drawing, the gas burning members 16 are of two types, ie, a burner head 16a and a heater head 16b. Can also. For example, if the light emitting head is provided rightward from the horizontal axis a in FIG. 1, when the case member 5 is directed upward, it is used as a gas stove, and the case member 5 is rotated leftward to serve as a gas heater. Can be used as a gas lantern by turning to the right.

Further, the present invention can be constituted by a combination of a gas stove and a gas lantern or a combination of a gas heater and a gas lantern, and further constituted by a combination of a gas appliance having another function. You can also. When the present invention is used as a gas lantern, the dish member 6 functions as a lamp cap, and the guard member 7 functions as a protective guard.

In the above description, a multifunctional gas appliance of the type in which the simple gas cylinder 18 is mounted on the simple gas cylinder mounting member 17 is used. It can also be compatible with gas or propane gas.
