Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, if not properly used, these gases can be dangerous.
One of the obstacles for a user of a gas heater is remembering to turn it off.
For example, leaving a gas stove in operation beyond the required period may result in overcooking or burning food; undesirable, but not dangerous.
However, leaving a gas heater unsupervised may result in accumulation of gas in the room, which may poison people present in the room.
As such, one of the problems of using gas heaters is proper timing in turning off the heater.
Nevertheless, he may forget to do so because of distraction, such as a telephone call, and so on.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits have not been described in detail, for the sake of brevity.

[0032]FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a kitchen in which is installed a gas stove, according to one embodiment of the invention.

[0033]The gas stove, marked herein by reference numeral 10, may be turned off by a remote-control unit 20. Thus, a turned on flame unit 16 can be turned off in two ways: manually, as in the prior art, and by the remote-control unit.

[0034]The remote-control unit may employ a timer, as will be described hereinafter. Thus, a user may set the time to turn off a part of or all of the flame units.

Abstract

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a system for controlling the gas supply to a gas heater (such as a gas stove, a heating stove, and so on), the system comprising: an electric valve, for blocking and unblocking a gas supplying pipe to said gas heater; a control unit, for controlling the operation of said electric valve; a timer, for determining a delay in activation of said electric valve to block said gas supply; and a remote-control unit, for providing, in a mobile manner, user interface for setting said timer; and a processing unit, for concentrating information from said timer, and activating the operation of blocking gas supply passage whenever the time of said timer runs out.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of domestic safety systems. More particularly, the invention relates to a system for controlling gas supply to a gas heater.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Gas heaters, such as gas stoves and heating stoves, are presently very common.[0003]The first gas stoves were developed in the 1820s, but only in the 1880s did this technology become a commercial success. The first gas stoves were rather unwieldy, but soon the oven was integrated into the base and the size reduced to better fit in with standard kitchen furniture of the day. In the 1910s, producers started to enamel their gas stoves for easier cleaning A high-end gas stove called the AGA cooker was invented in 1922 by Swedish Nobel Prize winner Gustaf Dalén.[0004]Gas heaters use Butane or Propane as their energy source. These gases are popular in use as “clean” and easy to use substances. On the other hand, if not properly used, these gases can be dangerous.[0...
