Abstract

La présente demande se rapporte à un dispositif de connexion d’appareil (2) à gaz comportant: un premier organe de commande (12) configuré pour être déplacé entre une position de fermeture et une position d’ouverture; et un second organe de commande (16) configuré pour être déplacé entre une position de verrouillage et une position de déverrouillage ; dans lequel le premier organe de commande et le second organe de commande sont configurés de sorte que : lorsque le second organe de commande (16) est en position de déverrouillage le second organe de commande (16) interdit le déplacement du premier organe de commande (12) entre la position de fermeture et la position d’ouverture ; et lorsque le second organe de commande (16) est en position de verrouillage le second organe de commande (16) autorise le déplacement du premier organe de commande (12) entre la position de fermeture et la position d’ouverture. Figure 1The present application relates to a gas appliance connection device (2) comprising: a first control member (12) configured to be moved between a closed position and an open position; and a second control member (16) configured to be moved between a locking position and an unlocking position; in which the first control member and the second control member are configured so that: when the second control member (16) is in the unlocked position the second control member (16) prohibits the movement of the first control member ( 12) between the closed position and the open position; and when the second control member (16) is in the locking position the second control member (16) authorizes the movement of the first control member (12) between the closed position and the open position.
