Abstract (en)

A device for automatically governing the feed of gas to a burner (2) of a cooking hob (1) on the basis of the presence of a food container (4) on said burner (2), comprises an emitter (22) for generating a sensing signal arranged to explore the space above the burner (2), a receiver (23) for said signal which receive this latter when reflected by a food container (4) placed on the burner (2), and control means (33) connected to said emitter (22) and receiver (23), to enable the burner (2) to be activated when the presence of said container (4) is sensed on it, and to interrupt this activation when said container (4) is removed from the burner (2). The emitter and the receiver are positioned centrally within the burner body, and the burner is provided with a cap (16A) transparent to the above signal. <IMAGE>
