Abstract
An adjustment and control unit for gas burner valves provided with a bimetal rod-and-tube thermostat which is arranged on a rocker supporting the flow control element of a valve. A translational motion actuator is arranged so as to push on the rocker, on the opposite side with respect to the thermostat, and is kinematically connected to a knob by way of coupling elements which convert rotary motion into a translational motion. The coupling elements provide two distinct transmission ratios, each at specific rotation positions.

An adjustment and control unit for a gas burner valve provided with a bimetallic thermostat, and with a flow control element, the unit comprising:
- a rod-like element which acts on the flow control element of the valve, said thermostat being arranged at right angles on said rod-like element;
- a translational motion actuator being arranged so as to push at right angles on said rod-like element on an opposite side thereof with respect to said thermostat;
- an adjustment knob connected to said actuator;
- and a coupling means for coupling said knob to said actuator, said coupling means being adapted to convert rotary motion into a translational motion with two distinct transmission ratios, each at specific rotation positions.
