Automatic unit for igniting appliances containing gas rings |
(57) An automatic ignition unit for appliances comprising a series of gas rings (21) with
which there are associated respective electrical ignition heads (22) and a corresponding
number of aligned taps (5), these latter containing an operating stem (50) provided
with a knob (51) for sliding and rotating it, comprises a common ignition control
member (12) which is hinged to the appliance (1) on an axis parallel to the line on
which the taps lie, is disposed transversely to said stems (50), and is coupled to
each of these latter by a fork (11) against which the stem acts only when translationally
moving in one specific direction so that said member (12) is able to rotate in response
to the translational movement of any one of the stems (50), to press a common pushbutton
(16) which operates an ignition device (17) common to all the ignition heads (22).
