(54) Household gas cooking equipment with a simplified spark ignition device


(57) A household gas cooking equipment, equipped with a spark ignition activated via the closing of microswitches (7) mounted on the gas cut-off cocks (2, 2.b). It is possible to remove one microswitch for every two adjacent cocks by mounting on a first cock (2b), with no microswitch, a component capable of crushing the microswitch mounted on a second adjacent cock (2).
The advantage of this invention is that it is possible to reduce the number of microswitches necessary and simplify the electrical circuit of the ignition, by effecting minimal modifications to the cocks.
