Abstract:
Device for controlling the gas-burner rings of a cooking surface including a gas tap equipped with a control knob and a catenary element for control of ignition of the gas-burner rings, the catenary element including a microswitch; the microswitch is actuated selectively by a bushing carried via snap action by an axially mobile element of the gas tap provided with said control knob, the bushing being made of a synthetic plastic material and including a sleeve for installation on said mobile element of the gas tap and a flange designed to bear upon said microswitch to actuate it as a result of a motion of translation of the mobile element of the gas tap; the bushing is internally provided with an indent and has a radial slit, which interrupts its continuity and in a corresponding angular position of which the bushing is also provided with a pair of opposed circumferential slots that interrupt the continuity of the indent.
Abstract:
A decelerating device (1) comprising a bushing (10) and a pin (11) carried in a co-axial position by said bushing, a first end of the pin being housed idle inside said bushing (10) and a second end of the pin, opposite to the first end, projecting axially in cantilever fashion from the bushing; said pin (11) being provided with first means of constraint to a first member (3), in particular to an oscillating door of the drum (2) of a top-loaded washing machine, and said bushing being provided with second means of constraint to a second member, in particular defined by the aforesaid drum; inside said bushing (10), between the pin and one internal side wall of the bushing, there being housed, alongside one another, at a pre-set axial distance apart from one another, one or more deformable annular gasket elements (25), on which said pin rotates idle in a frictioned way with respect to said bushing; each of said deformable annular gasket elements (25) preferably having, in radial cross section, in undeformed conditions, a peripheral profile defining at least one concavity (26).
Abstract:
Described herein is a knob (1) including: a hub, which can be connected so that it is angularly fixed in a seat open at the front of an electrical household appliance, with a rotatable control pin of the household appliance designed to control, according to its own angular position, at least one function of the household appliance; a grip, which is carried so that it is angularly fixed but can slide axially, against the action of elastic means, on a first end of the hub opposite to a second end thereof for connection with said pin; and means for selective axial connection of the grip to the hub designed to block the grip in a first axial position, in which the grip projects in cantilever fashion from the first end of the hub and is set, in use, at least partially on the outside of said seat, and in a second axial position, in which the grip is fitted on said hub and is, in use, retracted within said seat; between the grip and the hub there being defined a closed chamber having a variable volume that is a function of the axial position of the grip on the hub and there being provided sliding seal means for sealing said air-tight chamber, and a calibrated restriction for connecting the inside of said chamber with the external environment in such a way as to bring about a negative pressure in said chamber as a result of the movement of the grip towards the first axial position.
