Gas shut-off device

A tamper resistant, safety promoting, and gas saving gas shut-off device to selectively shut off a flow of gas, such as liquid petroleum gas or natural gas, to a gas fueled device such as a BBQ grill in response to a user selected time period, comprising:

• a housing having a gas passage with a first opposite end defining a gas inlet port for inputting gas from a gas supply and a second opposite end defining a gas outlet port;
• a lever operated gas shut-off valve having an open position and a closed position and located between the gas inlet and gas outlet;
• a lever operably connected to the lever controlled gas shut-off valve, the lever having a lever-up and a lever-down position for controlling the open and closing of the lever operated gas shut-off valve, wherein the lever has a first end and a second opposite end, and wherein the first end of the lever is operably connected to the lever controlled gas shut-off valve;
• a timer-lever control mechanism operably connected to the lever, said timer-lever control mechanism includes a timer face, a timer knob, an axle, a cup, and a timer spring mechanism, wherein the timer-lever control mechanism is adapted to allow a user to input a predetermined time interval, wherein the timer-lever control mechanism is operably connected to the second end of the lever, and wherein the timer-lever control mechanism is adapted to control the up and down status of the lever;
• and
• a button operably connected to the lever, wherein the button has a default position and in response to a force can be moved to a non-default position;
• wherein continuous gas flow along the passage is possible if a predetermined time interval is entered into the timer-lever control mechanism while the button is in the non-default position thereby providing the tamper resistant, safety promoting, and gas saving gas shut-off device.
