Abstract:
1. A hydrostat for a portable gas range having a governor valve, and which includes at least one of either a container-detaching safety device for automatically detaching a gas container to interrupt gas flow and extinguish a fire when the inner pressure of the gas container reaches a dangerous value or a flow-blocking safety device for blocking the path of gas flow with the gas container still installed to extinguish a fire when the inner pressure of the gas container reaches a dangerous value, the hydrostat comprising: a body comprising a gas outlet, which communicates with the governor valve, and a sealed room, which communicate with the gas outlet; an opening/closing unit which is installed within the sealed room of the body for opening and closing the gas outlet; an elastic member for biasing the opening/closing unit into a closed position when the inner pressure of the gas container does not exceed a threshold value and for allowing movement of the opening/closing unit to an open position to discharge gas from the gas container by opening the gas outlet when the inner pressure of the gas container reaches or exceeds the threshold value; and a cap which is fixed at the bottom of the body to support the elastic member and the opening/closing unit, wherein the opening/closing unit comprises a sealing shaft with a support plate at an upper portion thereof, the support plate having a reverse-cone-shaped support groove at the top portion thereof; a sealing member comprising a support piece, which has a reverse-cone-shaped bottom portion for engaging the support groove, and a seal piece for blocking the gas outlet when the opening/closing unit is in a closed position.
