Patent ID: 7891972

Claim:
Gas regulating fitting for a gas fire or the like comprising: a housing defining a gas inlet ( 2 ), a pilot gas outlet ( 3 ), a main gas outlet ( 4 ), and an initial aperture ( 16 ) having a first opening in fluidic communication with the gas inlet ( 2 ), a second opening in fluidic communication with the main gas outlet ( 4 ), and a third opening in fluidic communication with the pilot gas outlet ( 3 ); a thermoelectric flame failure device valve ( 17 ) disposed between the gas inlet ( 2 ) and the initial aperture ( 16 ) for opening and closing the first opening to regulate gas flow between the gas inlet ( 2 ) and the initial aperture ( 16 ); a main valve ( 35 ) disposed between the initial aperture ( 16 ) and the main gas outlet ( 4 ) for opening and closing the second opening to regulate gas flow between the initial aperture ( 16 ) and the main gas outlet ( 4 ); wherein the valves serve jointly both as a flame failure device and as a means of dividing the flow of gas into a flow of gas for a main burner ( 33 ) via the main gas outlet ( 4 ) and a pilot burner ( 32 ) via the pilot gas outlet ( 3 ), a control unit ( 8 ) positioned downstream of the main valve ( 35 ) for controlling the flow of gas flowing to the main burner ( 33 ); and a sensor ( 34 ) for ascertaining the operating condition of the main burner ( 33 ), whereby the sensor ( 34 ) is connected to the thermoelectric flame failure device valve ( 17 ) in such a way that on a change in the operating condition of the main burner ( 33 ) from “On” to “Off”, a signal emitted by the sensor ( 34 ) causing the thermoelectric flame failure device valve ( 17 ) to close the first opening.
