Abstract
System for attaching the flame igniter electrode to a burner for gas hobs, boilers or the like. The system comprises a deformable seal of substantially annular shape mounted in a groove in the electrode which makes it possible to attach the electrode reversibly to a seat attached to the body of the burner. Attachment takes place through the application of an axial force inserting the electrode into the seat.
Claims12
A system for attachment of an electrode for igniting a flame in gas hobs, boilers or the like, comprising:
- a burner body from which there laterally extends a support connected to the burner body, the support being provided with a seat for housing an electrode, the electrode being provided with a groove for housing an element for attachment of the electrode, wherin the system comprises a deformable attachment element for the electrode of substantially annular shape, the deformable attachment member being housed in the groove in the electrode in such that when the electrode fitted with the deformable attachment element is inserted into the seat following the application of an axial insertion force deformable attachment element deforms within the seat reversibly attaching the electrode in an operating position within the seat of the support of the burner body.
An electrode for igniting the flame of a burner of a gas hob comprising an insulating body, a conductor enclosed in the insulating body, a groove to receive electrode fixing means, wherein the fixing means comprises resilient attachment means in the groove, the resilient attachment means of substantially annular shape being such as to permit reversible attachment of the electrode to a burner body when in use following application of an axial insertion force.
