Thus, the user can directly transitions from any flame level position to a low-flame position in the respective gas burner when he/she desired, in particular for a tea steeping operation of the gas cooking devices. Moreover, the gas consumption during a heating operation, for example during the tea steeping operation, can be reduced. Here, the low-flame position corresponds to a minimum power output of the gas burner.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the first operating position is being an operating position which the flow volume in the gas supply line is exclusively controlled by the gas control valve. Thus, the various positions of the gas control valve, in other words various power outputs of the gas burner, can be provided.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the second operating position is being an operating position which flow volume in the gas supply line is set to a level corresponding to the minimum power output of the gas burner, if the gas control valve is in any open position. Thus, the minimum power level of the gas burner can be achieved with the aid of the gas control member in an easily manner.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member is designed for having exactly two operating positions. Thus, the gas control member can be operated or not operated optionally.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member is operated by a push button. Thus, an additional button is provided in order to obtain a minimum power in the gas burner directly. Moreover, the gas control member can be controlled by a pushing action in an easily manner.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member comprises a gas control member housing which is connected to the respective gas control valve from one side and to the respective gas burner from the other side by way of gas supply line. Thus, the combustion gas can pass through the gas control member which can reduce the flow volume of the combustion gas, when the gas control valve is in an open position.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member housing comprises a first receiving section designed to at least partially encompass a first gas supply pipe connected to the respective gas control valve for receiving the combustion gas passing through the gas control valve; and a second receiving section designed to at least partially encompass a second gas supply pipe connected to the respective gas burner for supplying the combustion gas to the respective gas burner.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member housing which is being in a hollow structure, comprises a gas collection chamber where the combustion gas supplied by the first gas supply pipe accumulates, and a gas passage channel provided between the gas collection chamber and the second receiving section. Thus, the combustion gas can be directed from the first receiving section to the second receiving section. In other words, the combustion gas can be directed from the respective gas control valve to the respective gas burner in a predetermined level.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member comprises a gas control member body accommodated in the gas control member housing and wherein said gas control member body is being movable in an axial direction between the first operating position and the second operating position. Thus, the gas control member can control the flow volume of the combustion gas.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member housing comprises an actuating shaft opening through which an actuating shaft provided with the gas control member body, passes and configured so as to access the gas passage channel in a direction perpendicular to the gas passage channel. Thus, the gas control member body can be moved in the axial direction between the first operating position and the second operating position.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member body comprises at least one gas passage opening through which the combustion gas passes in the second operating position. Thus, the flow volume of the combustion gas passes through the gas passage opening in order to be limited to a predetermined level.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member body is configured in such a way that it is at least partially covering the actuating shaft opening and wherein a sealing element is provided on the gas control member body so as to surround said gas control member body. Thus, possible gas leaks from the actuating shaft opening, is prevented.

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas burner is being a burner which can provide a minimum power level in the gas cooking device, when the gas control member is in the second operating position. Thus, a lowest power level in the gas cooking device, can be achieved. Further advantages may become apparent from the following description of the figure(s).

In a possible embodiment of the invention, as can be seen in Fig. 2, the gas cooking device (1) further comprises at least one gas control member (10) arranged to control the gas flow to the respective gas burner (6). Preferably, said gas control member (10) is actuated in order to achieve a low flame position in the respective gas burner (6). For example, said gas control member (10) can be actuated for a tea steeping operation which can be realized at a low power. There is an indicator element (22) provided on the front plate (2). Said indicator element (22) is provided on a vicinity of the gas control member (10). Said indicator element (22) can be any kind of indicator including a text, an image or both the text and image. For example, as can be seen in Fig. 1 and 2, the text provided on the front plate (2) can be “Tea mode”.

With reference to Fig. 3 and 4, the gas cooking device (1) comprises a trough-shaped base plate (3) provided below the front plate (2). The gas burners (6) are at least partially accommodated in the trough-shaped base plate (3). One or more gas control valves (5) can be arranged on a main gas line (12). Each of the gas control valves (5) are assigned to the respective gas burners (6). The gas control valves (5) are fluidically connected to the respective gas burners (6) by way of gas supply lines (13). The gas control valves (5) are designed to control, in particular continuously, a flow volume of the combustion gas flowing from the main gas line (12) to the respective gas burners (6). In a possible embodiment of the invention, there is a gas control member (10) arranged in series with the respective gas control valve (5). In detail, said gas control member (10) is configured to arrange on the respective gas supply line (13). The gas control member (10) comprises a gas control member housing (11) which is connected to the respective gas control valve (5) from one side and to the respective gas burner (6) from the other side by way of gas supply lines (13). The gas control member (10) seats onto the base plate (3) and connects to said base plate (3) by means of at least one connection element (19). In more details, the base plate (3) whereon the gas control member (10) located, has at least one first connection hole (31). Moreover, as can be seen in Fig. 14, the gas control member housing (11) has at least one first corresponding connection hole (117) which corresponds to the first connection hole (31). The connection element (19) passes through the first connection hole (31) and attaches to the first corresponding connection hole (117), when the gas control member (10) connected to the base plate (3). The connection operation of the gas control member (10) to the base plate (3) can be realized from an outer side of the gas cooking device (1) in an easily manner.

With reference to Fig. 5, the gas control valve (5) has a valve housing (52). The valve housing (52) comprises at least one valve gas outlet (54) by way of which combustion gas can be supplied to the respective gas burner (6) with the aid of the corresponding gas supply line (13). The valve housing (52) further comprises a receiving section (53), which is designed to at least partially encompass the main gas line (12). In other words, the valve housing (52) can at least partially accommodate the main gas line (12) in the receiving section (53). A gas inlet (not shown), through which combustion gas can be fed from the main gas line (12) to the valve housing (52), is provided on the receiving section (53). The gas control valve (5) can be clamped to the main gas line (12) with the aid of the receiving section (53). A tubular valve body (not shown) is rotatably accommodated in the valve housing (52). The control button (4) which is coupled to a free end of a valve shaft (51), shows various positions of the gas control valve (5). The valve shaft (51) can be rotated together with the control button (4) in order to select a desired position of the gas control valve (5). For instance, when the control button (4) is in a closed position, the gas control valve (5) is being closed and there is not any gas flow passing through the gas control valve (5). The valve body can be rotated by means of the valve shaft (51), in a predetermined direction of rotation from the closed position, in which the gas control valve (5) is closed, into an open position, in which the gas control valve (5) is open. In the open position, the gas control valve (5) is being opened and there is a gas flow passing through the gas control valve (5). The predetermined direction of rotation is oriented counter clockwise, for instance. The gas control valve (5) can be rotated continuously by rotating from the open position into a low-flame position. In order to bring the gas control valve (5) from the low-flame position into the closed position, the control button (4) is rotated against the predetermined direction of rotation back into the closed position. The flow volume of the combustion gas flowing through the gas control valve (5) is less in the low-flame position than in the open position. In the invention, the gas control member (10) connects to the respective gas control valve (5) from one side and to the respective burner base element (61) from the other side. In more details, there is a first gas supply pipe (131) which is being connected to a valve gas outlet (54) from one side and to a first receiving section (111) of the gas control member housing (11) from the other side. Moreover, there is a second gas supply pipe (132) which is being connected to a second receiving section (112) of the gas control member housing (11) from one side and to a burner gas inlet (611) of the burner base element (61) from the other side. The burner gas inlet (611) is configured on the burner base element (61) so as to at least partially encompass the second gas supply pipe (132) from one side. The combustion gas is fed to the burner base element (61) which is being a gas collection pool, from the burner gas inlet (611). The burner gas inlet (611) and the second gas supply pipe (132) have threaded sections (not shown) corresponding each other. The first receiving section (111) is designed to at least partially encompass the first gas supply pipe (131) from one side. The first receiving section (111) and the first gas supply pipe (131) have threaded sections (not shown) corresponding each other. Similarly, the second receiving section (112) is designed to at least partially encompass the second gas supply pipe (132) from one side. The second receiving section (112) and the second gas supply pipe (132) have threaded sections (not shown) corresponding each other. The gas control member (10) further comprises an actuating shaft (20) extending vertically. A push button (17) connects to a free end of said actuating shaft (20). In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member (10) can be operated by said push button (17).

With reference to Fig. 13 and 14, the gas control member housing (11) is being in a hollow structure. In detail, the gas control member housing (11) comprises a gas collection chamber (113) wherein the combustion gas supplied to said gas control member housing (11) by the first gas supply pipe (131) can accumulate. In the invention, the gas control member housing (11) can be designed as a two-part structure. As can be seen in Fig.13, a cover plate (118) where the first receiving section (111) is provided, covers an aperture of the gas collection chamber (113). Said first receiving section (111) can be provided on a center of the cover plate (118). The cover plate (118) has at least one second connection hole (119). Preferably, said second connection holes (119) are configured on a vicinity of the corner sections of the cover plate (118). There is at least one corresponding second connection hole (119) is provided on a surface of the gas control member housing (11) facing the cover plate (118), so as to correspond to the second connection holes (119). A connection element passes through the second connection hole (119) and attaches to the second corresponding connection hole (120) in order to connect the cover plate (118) to the gas control member housing (11). On the other hand, the second receiving section (112) is provided on a side surface of the gas control member housing (11). Preferably, the receiving sections (111, 112) of the gas control member housing (11) have a circular form. Moreover, there is a circular actuating shaft opening (116) which opens to an upper surface of the gas control member housing (11) from one side and to a gas passage channel (114) from the other side. As can be seen in Fig. 15, the gas passage channel (114) is provided between the gas collection chamber (113) and the second receiving section (112). As shown in Fig. 16, the actuating shaft opening (116) is configured on the gas control member housing (11) so as to extend vertically. In detail, the actuating shaft opening (116) extends in a direction perpendicular to the gas passage channel (114).

With reference to Fig 6 and 7, the gas control member (10) comprises a movable actuating shaft (20) extending in a direction perpendicular to the gas passage channel (114). Said actuating shaft (20) passes through the actuating shaft opening (116). Said actuating shaft (20) is provided with a cylindrical gas control member body (14). Said gas control member body (14) has a gas passage opening (141) through which the combustion gas can pass. There is a housing recess (115) provided on a section where the gas passage channel (114) is configured. Said housing recess (115) is formed in accordance with the shape and size of the gas control member body (14). The gas control member body (14) is configured in such a way that it is at least partially covering the actuating shaft opening (116). As can be seen in Fig. 9, a circular sealing element (15) is provided on the gas control member body (14) so as to surround the gas control member body (14). In a possible embodiment of the invention, the gas control member (10) is designed for having exactly two operating positions. The gas control member (10) has a first operating position (I) in which it provides no limitation to the gas flow. Moreover, the gas control member (10) has a second operating position (II) in which it limits the gas flow to a predetermined level. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the first operating position (I) is being an operating position which the flow volume in the gas supply line (13) is exclusively controlled by the gas control valve (5). At the first operating position (I) of the gas control member (10), the actuating shaft (20) can be moved in an axial direction (a) away from the gas control member (10). As shown in Fig. 6, at said first operating position (I), the gas control member body (14) is at least partially being in the actuating shaft opening (116) in such a way that the combustion gas does not pass through the gas passage opening (141). In other words, at the first operating position (I), the gas control member body (14) positions such a way that it provides no limitation to the gas flow which passes from the gas collection chamber (113) in the second receiving section (112). For instance, when the gas control valve (5) is in the open position in which a flow volume of combustion gas passing through the gas control valve (5), the combustion gas also passes through the gas control member (10) in a same flow volume of as the gas control valve (5). Therefore, in the first operating position (I), the gas control member (10) does not effect the flame size in the gas burner (6).

In a possible embodiment of the invention, the second operating position (II) is being an operating position which flow volume in the gas supply line (13) is set to a level corresponding to the minimum power output of the gas burner (6), if the gas control valve (5) is in any open position. At the second operating position (II) of the gas control member (10), the actuating shaft (20) can be moved in an axial direction (a) towards from the gas control member (10). As shown in Fig. 7, at said second operating position (II), the gas control member body (14) positions in such a way that it at least partially fulfills the housing recess (115) in order to block the gas passage channel (114). At said second operating position (II), the gas control member body (14) positions such a way that it limits the gas flow to a predetermined level, in particular to a minimum level. In other words, at the second operating position (II), the combustion gas passes through the gas passage opening (141) having a size for limiting the gas flow which is directed to the second gas supply pipe (132). For instance, when the gas control valve (5) is in the open position and a greater flow volume of combustion gas passing through the gas control valve (5) than in the low-flame position, the combustion gas passes through the gas control member (10) which is being actuated, in a less flow volume than the gas control valve (5). Thus, the user can easily transitions from any open position to the low-flame position by operating the gas control member (10). Therefore, in the second operating position (II), the gas control member (10) can limit the flame size in the gas burner (6). Preferably, the gas passage opening (141) is configured such a way that it can permit a flow volume of the combustion gas having a same value as the flow volume of the combustion gas passing through the gas control valve (5) in the low-flame position. In other words, when the gas control valve (5) is in the low-flame position and the gas control member (10) is being in the second operating position (II), the gas control member (10) does not effect the flow volume of the combustion gas, namely the flame size in the gas burner (6).

With reference to Fig. 9, optionally, the gas control member (10) comprises an axial movement arrangement (21) configured between the push button (17) and the gas control member body (14). Said gas control member (10) is provided so as to surround the actuating shaft (20). Said exemplary axial movement arrangement (21) comprises an essentially hollow movement arrangement housing (211) surrounding the actuating shaft (20). Said movement arrangement housing (211) is provided so as to receive a cam body (212) which can rotatably and axially movable relative to the movement arrangement housing (211). The cam body (212) can axially be movable together with the actuating shaft (20). There is a spring element (213) provided inside said movement arrangement housing (211). As can be seen in Fig. 6, a side of the actuating shaft opening (116) which is away from the gas passage channel (114), is configured in such a way that it is at least partially receiving the movement arrangement housing (211) in a firmly manner. There is base wall (218) provided on a side of the movement arrangement housing (211) so as to at least partly surround the actuating shaft (20). In the exemplary axial movement arrangement (21), the spring element (213) which can be compressed, is provided between the base wall (218) and the cam body (212). As can be seen in Fig. 12, the movement arrangement housing (211) is configured with a plurality of longitudinal protrusions (214) protruding in the axial direction. As can be seen in Fig. 10, the cam body (212) which is accommodated in the movement arrangement housing (211), has a plurality of angularly directing surfaces (216). Moreover, the cam body (212) is configured with a plurality of guiding grooves (215) which guides the longitudinal protrusions (214) at the first operating position (I). Each of the longitudinal protrusions (214) has a corresponding directing surface (219) on a side away from the push button (17). The cam body (212) is being directed to rotate when the actuating shaft (20) is axially moved in a manner the protrusions (214) separates from the guiding groove (215). Moreover, at least one of the directing surface (216) and the corresponding directing surface (219) contact each other, and the spring element (213) compresses, when the push button (17) is pushed and the actuating shaft (20) is axially moved. Thus, the gas control member (10) transitions from first operating position (I) to the second operating position (II). In order to prevent undesired axial movement in a direction away from the gas control member (10) in the second operating position (II), a blocking wall (217) is configured on the movement arrangement housing (211). At least one of the directing surface (216) abuts to said blocking wall (217) at the second operating position (II). As can be seen in Fig. 2 and 8, an essentially hollow bushing element (18) through which the actuating shaft (20) passes, is provided so as to pass through the front plate (2) and receive the movement arrangement housing (211) below the front plate (2). Said bushing element (18) comprises a hollow body part (181) which is being below the front plate (2) and a head part (182) which is being above the front plate (2). The hollow body part (181) at least partially receives movement arrangement housing (211) below the front plate (2). Moreover, the gas control member housing (11) is configured so as to receive a side of the movement arrangement housing (211) opposite to the side which the movement arrangement housing (211) is being received by the hollow body part (181). In other words, the movement arrangement housing (211) is being received by the hollow body part (181) from one side and by the gas control member housing (11) from the other side. Thus, the gas control member housing (11) is provided so as not be movable, when the actuating shaft (20) moved. The head part (182) has a size greater than the hollow body part (181) and a hole of the front plate (2) where the actuating shaft (20) passes through. Thus, the axial movement of the actuating shaft (20) between the first operating position (I) and the second operating position (II), is facilitated and a sealing is provided in a section of the front plate (2) where the actuating shaft (20) passes through.
