12 Claims.
This invention relates to an automatic heat regulator for a gas stove and pertains particularly to its mounting thereon. It is desirable in such devices to have a heat regular of compact form adapted to be mounted in a position out-of the way and capable of assembly withthe stove to produce a simple and ornate appearance.
The objects of this invention are to provide a regulator meeting the above desired requirements and having any or all of the following features: a unit assembly which may be supported on the conventional gas manifold in the usual clearance space beneath the latter; a unit having a control shaft with a knob disposed at the front face of the common manifold cover plate and a concealed dial except for a window in the plate to view graduations.
These objects together with other objects and corresponding accomplishments are obtained by means of the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a fragment of a gas stove partly in section showing the aggroupment of parts forming and associated with the subject matter of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a section on an enlarged scale as seen on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1 showing the regulator unit in side elevation; Fig. 3 is a fragmental view of the manifold cover plate, regulator handle and dial window as seen on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and Hg. 4 is a sec-=.
tionas seen on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, a fragment of a stove is shown in Fig. 1 having an oven 5 and a gas plate 6 at the side thereof. The
gas plate 6 comprises a grate top and below the plate is a gas supply manifold 7 ranging along the front of the stove. The usual gas cocks 8 with handles 9 are provided to control the individual burners for the gas plate.
4 cover plate 10 extending across the front. The
oven burner is indicated by 11.
A combination gas supply cock and heatregulator is provided for controlling the flow of gas to the burner -11. This comprises a casing of L form having a leg 12 housing the gas cook plug and a leg 13 housing the automatic valve mechanism. Upstanding from the leg 12 is a branch 14 of L shape adapted to be connected to the gas manifold 7 in the same manner as the conventional connection of the plate burners. The casing is supported by the gas manifold with its body to the rear thereof and in the usual clearance space beneath the gas plate top. A pipe 15 serves for communication of the casing and the burner 11. The leg 13 extends through the wall of the oven There is a manifold,
and has a plate 16 connected thereto and upon which is mounted a bimetallic thermostatic leaf 17 which acts upon a rod 18 forming a part of the automatic heat control actuating means. A shaft 19 extends forwardly from the leg 12 and con- '80 trols the gas supply cock and the means for setting the heat regulator temperature.
Shaft 19 extends through the manifold cover plate 10 and secured to the shaft and at the rear of the manifold plate is a dial 20 ofdrum form as having a face which flares. Temperature graduations are marked on the dial. The latter is secured to the shaft so as to be angularly adjustable to provide for correcting the positions of the temperature graduations on the periphery of the dial. it There is an indented recess 21 in the manifold cover plate with a wall 21a which overhangs the face of the dial. Wall 21a is provided with a window 22 for reading the dial temperature graduations. An indicator pointer 23 is mounted on the i5 casing and extends over the dial.
It will be noted that the regulator is of compact form adaptable to being mounted in the clearance space beneath the gas manifold and out of the way with the connection to the gas so manifold in the same position as the plate burners. The manifold plate 10 conceals the dial except for the window, the dial being in a position out of the way so that thereare no parts projecting in front of the gas manifold except the usual gas cock handles andthe control handle 24' for the regulator. The construction is such as to provide a substantially flush manifold plate with parts concealed so that in general the appearance is simple and ornate.
