| 20120204853 | HOUSEHOLD GAS APPLIANCE WITH A MAGNETICALLY CONTROLLED GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM - A household gas appliance includes a gas supply valve which is operated using a magnetic key. The gas supply valve itself may be magnetically operable. In this instance, when a magnetic key is placed adjacent the magnetically operable gas supply valve, the gas supply valve would open. When the magnetic key is removed, the gas supply valve would close. In other embodiments, a magnetic sensor may sense the presence or absence of a magnetic key. If the magnetic key is present, the magnetic sensor would generate an opening signal which causes the gas supply valve to open. When the magnetic key is removed, the magnetic sensor would generate a closing signal which causes the gas supply valve to close. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20080216810 | Device for Increasing Power for a Limited Time - A gas cooking hob comprising at least one gas burner, a main pipe for supplying gas, a main nozzle on the gas burner, and a control device for adjusting the heating power of the gas burner between a minimum power and a nominal power. In order to further develop said gas cooking hob, a timing member is provided which allows the heating power to be increased beyond the nominal power during a certain interval. | 09-11-2008 |
