Abstract:
An electronic gas-lighting device for spark-lighting at least one respective burner on a cooking range, the device comprising a casing defined by a cup-shaped body and made of electrically insulating material; electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means housed in an inner cavity of the casing, which cavity is accessible through a mouth of the cup-shaped body opposite and facing a bottom wall of the cup-shaped body; and, for each said burner catered to, at least one output terminal connected to said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means and housed through a respective seating duct on the casing; characterized by also comprising a connecting board carrying an electric circuit and extending the full length of the cup-shaped body; said connecting board being positioned substantially closing said mouth but still inside said cavity, and carrying, on a first face facing said cavity, said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means connected mechanically and electrically to the connecting board and said circuit carried by the connecting board, so that said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means is housed in one continuous compartment defined by said cavity of the casing and by the connecting board; said electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means being embedded, together with the connecting board, in a matrix of insulating polymer resin which fills the whole of said cavity up to a point substantially flush with said mouth; said connecting board having at least one through opening enabling said polymer resin to be poured into the casing with the connecting board already positioned closing the mouth.
