  • the fixed portion of the tactile feedback device 200 is fixed to the shaft 120 by fixing means 130 of the gas valve 100. Since the cover 40 engages the base 30, said components of the fixed portion behave as a single part.
  • the base 30 is assembled on the shaft 120 with the shaft 120 going through the opening 31, and the guide body 50 is then coupled to the shaft 120 with said shaft 120 going through the opening 51 for the fitting thereof, the guide body 50 being introduced in the housing 33 of the body 32 of the base 30.
  • the shaft 120 then goes through the opening 41 of the cover 40, the base 30 being covered with said cover 40 and both parts engaging one another.

Said portion therefore performs two functions, forming an element of the tactile feedback device 200 on one hand and serving for activating a pushbutton 61 when it moves axially on the other.
  • said fixed portion performs the two functions.
  • the rotating portion is housed inside the fixed portion and therefore also moves axially together with the fixed portion.
  • a switch 60 incorporating the pushbutton 61 is therefore arranged coupled to the valve body 110.
  • this switch 60 is a switch for a spark generator which allows activating an ignition valve for igniting a gas burner (not shown in the drawings) corresponding to said gas valve 100. It is a switch that forms part of a switch harness, such that said harness allows electrically communicating the different gas valves comprised in the cooking appliance.
  • the activation pushbutton 61 projects from the case of the switch 60 towards the shaft 120 of the gas valve 100, the activation thereof allowing the activation of the spark generator.
  • the pushbutton 61 is arranged on a vertical plane coinciding with the axial path of the fixed portion of the tactile feedback device 200, specifically of the base 30.
  • the base 30 is configured so that the edge, arranged away from the opening 31 of the base 30, of the stop 38 of the wall 37 of the body 32 of the base 30, pushes the activation pushbutton 61 when said base 30, and therefore the entire fixed portion, moves axially together with the shaft 120 of the gas valve 100 towards the valve body 110, when said shaft 120 is pushed axially for opening the gas valve 100 and igniting the gas burner.
  • the activation of a switch of the harness therefore allows activating the spark generator and activating the ignition valves associated with the gas burners of the cooking appliance.

  • Figure 7 shows a top plan view of the base 30 of Figure 6 .
  • Said base 30 comprises the same features as those described for the embodiment of the base 30 shown in Figure 5 .
  • the difference lies in the fact that the guide section 20, instead of comprising a plurality of guiding housings 21, comprises a single segment 22 projecting from the inner face of the perimetral wall 34 of the base 30.
  • This segment 22 projects farther and has a larger dimension than the peaks defining the guiding housings 21.
  • This segment 22 defines an angular area B with the longitudinal axis of the shaft 120, in which the follower 10 arranged in the guide body 50 of the fixed portion cannot be positioned, i.e., the follower will not be stable in said segment 22, the shaft 120 moving out of the angular position B.
