Safety apparatus including sensor and remote controlled stove knob

A system for controlling a stove shaft upon fault conditions, the system comprising:

• a safety sensor, the safety sensor configured to detect a fault condition of a stove shaft;
• a knob comprising:
• a main body having an outer surface and an inner surface;
• a shaft connector extending from the inner surface of the main body;
• a plurality of teeth disposed on the inner surface;
• a position indicator located on the inner surface;
• and
• an extender including:
• a first end including a first socket for connecting with the shaft connector;
• and
• a second end including a second socket mountable to the operational shaft of the stove;
• and
• a controller unit including:
• a gear for selective movement of the plurality of teeth;
• a motor for actuating the gear;
• a sensor configured to detect the position indicator;
• and
• controller circuitry, the controller circuitry being in communication with the safety sensor for operating the motor upon the fault condition.

A kit for installation on a stove, the kit comprising:

• a knob for attachment to an operational shaft of the stove, the knob including:
• a main body having an outer surface and an inner surface;
• a shaft connector extending away from the inner surface of the main body, the shaft connector capable mounting to an operational shaft of the stove;
• a plurality of teeth disposed on the inner surface;
• and
• a position indicator capable of being fixed on the inner surface;
• and
• a control unit capable of engaging the plurality of teeth in response to a fault condition, the control unit including:
• a gear capable of selectively move the plurality of teeth;
• a motor capable of actuating the gear;
• a sensor capable of detecting the position indicator;
• and
• controller circuitry capable of operating the motor upon the fault condition.
