Abstract

A magnet unit is provided with a solenoid with a coil whose core is attached in a recess on the front side of a base, with a movable anchor activated by a recoil spring with a valve closing element and with a protective cap attached on a shoulder of the base within which the anchor and the solenoid are located, with a first end of the coil of the solenoid being led to a connecting contact located on the other front side of the base, the shoulder having, on its side facing away from the base, a circumferential annular flange located inside the protective cap, enclosing and protruding over the front surface of the shoulder and a second end of the coil being attached on the front surface.

Claims (11)

1. A magnet unit for use with thermoelectric flame failure devices on gas-fired appliances, the magnet unit including a solenoid ( 9 ) with a coil ( 20 ), wherein a core ( 8 ) is attached in a recess ( 6 ) on the front side of a base ( 1 ) and a movable anchor ( 16 ) is activated by a recoil spring ( 18 ) that is linked with a valve closing element ( 17 ), and with a protective cap ( 3 ) attached on a shoulder ( 2 ) of the base ( 1 ) within which the anchor ( 16 ) and the solenoid ( 9 ) are located, with a first end ( 23 ) of the coil ( 20 ) of the solenoid ( 9 ) led to a connecting contact ( 24 ) located on the other front side of the base ( 1 ), comprising:

the shoulder ( 2 ), on its side facing away from the base ( 1 ), having a raised circumferential annular flange ( 21 ) which is located inside the protective cap ( 3 ), enclosing and protruding over a front surface ( 22 ) of the shoulder ( 2 ) and that a second end ( 27 ) of the coil ( 20 ) is attached on the front surface ( 22 ), the annular flange ( 21 ) extending over the second end ( 27 ) to prevent contact between the second end ( 27 ) and the protective cap ( 3 ).

2. A magnet unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second end ( 27 ) of the coil ( 20 ) is welded on to the front surface ( 22 ).

3. A magnet unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second end ( 27 ) of the coil ( 20 ) is soldered on to the front surface ( 22 ).

4. A magnet unit according to claim 1 , wherein the second end ( 27 ) is received within an area defining a groove ( 28 ) formed on the front surface ( 22 ).

5. A magnet unit according to claim 4 , the groove ( 28 ) having a first width, the second end having a second width, the first width being less than the second width.

6. A magnet unit for use with thermoelectric flame failure devices on gas-fired appliances, the magnet unit including a solenoid ( 9 ) with a coil ( 20 ), wherein a core ( 8 ) is attached in a recess ( 6 ) on the front side of a base ( 1 ) and a movable anchor ( 16 ) is activated by a recoil spring ( 18 ) that is linked with a valve closing element ( 17 ), and with a protective cap ( 3 ) attached on a shoulder ( 2 ) of the base ( 1 ) within which the anchor ( 16 ) and the solenoid ( 9 ) are located, with a first end ( 23 ) of the coil ( 20 ) of the solenoid ( 9 ) led to a connecting contact ( 24 ) located on the other front side of the base ( 1 ), comprising:

the shoulder ( 2 ), on its side facing away from the base ( 1 ), having a circumferential annular flange ( 21 ) which is located inside the protective cap ( 3 ), enclosing and protruding over a front surface ( 22 ) of the shoulder ( 2 ) and that a second end ( 27 ) of the coil ( 20 ) is attached on the front surface ( 22 ), the second end ( 27 ) being received within an area defining a groove ( 28 ) formed on the front surface ( 22 ).

7. A magnet unit according to claim 6 , the groove ( 28 ) having a first width, the second end having a second width, the first width being less than the second width.

8. A magnet unit according to claim 6 , wherein the second end ( 27 ) of the coil ( 20 ) is welded on to the front surface ( 22 ).

9. A magnet unit according to claim 6 , wherein the second end ( 27 ) of the coil ( 20 ) is soldered on to the front surface ( 22 ).
