Abstract:
An electronic gas-lighting device, comprising:a casing made of insulating material; an electronic high-voltage-pulse generating circuit housed in said casing, said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating circuit comprising a transformer having a secondary winding and at least one high voltage terminal formed at an end of said secondary winding; power supply contacts fitted to said casing to be in electrical contact with said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating circuit; and attaching elements for removably attaching said casing to a supporting surface of a metal conducting body element of a cooking range provided with gas burners; wherein said attaching elements comprise two teeth adapted to engage with at least one opening of the metal conducting body element, said teeth being formed integrally with said casing and at least one of said teeth being elastically deformable, both of said teeth projecting in the same direction from the same side of said casing; wherein said casing comprises first and second compartments, said transformer being housed in the first compartment and electrically connected to other components of said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating circuit that are housed in the second compartment, said power supply contacts being fitted to the second compartment, wherein said teeth project integrally from an outer surface of the second compartment; and wherein one of said power supply contacts is a ground contact that comprises a tongue projecting outwards of the second compartment, on the same side as the teeth, for a predetermined distance from the outer surface so as to contact the metal conducting body element when said teeth engage said at least one opening of the metal conducting body element.
