Outdoor stove burner control

Abstract

A valve control arrangement for an outdoor stove burner ( 10 ). The burner has a valve housing and a valve body ( 40 ) rotatably supported in the valve housing. A fuel hose ( 70 ) is connected to the valve body ( 40 ) for communicating fuel from a fuel supply ( 90 ) through the valve body and into the valve housing. The fuel hose ( 70 ) is capable of being rotated for rotating the valve body ( 40 ) in the valve housing to thereby control a fuel flow to the burner ( 10 ).

1 . A valve control arrangement in burner for an outdoor stove, comprising: 
 a valve housing;    a valve body rotatably supported in the valve housing; and    a fuel hose connected to the valve body for communicating fuel from a fuel supply through the valve body and into the valve housing and capable of being rotated for rotating the valve body in the valve housing to thereby control a fuel flow to the burner.    
   
   
       2 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein said valve is adapted to control the fuel flow by being axially displaced in the valve housing when rotated.  
   
   
       3 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein said valve is adapted to be axially displaced by respective interengaging helical threads in the valve housing and on the valve body.  
   
   
       4 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the fuel hose is rotatably connected to the fuel supply.  
   
   
       5 . The valve arrangement according to  claim 4 , further comprising a control handle on the fuel hose for manually rotating the hose.  
   
   
       6 . An outdoor stove having a burner provided with a valve control arrangement according to  claim 1 .  
   
   
       7 . A valve body adapted to be supported rotatably about an axis in a valve housing of an outdoor stove burner and capable of controlling a fuel flow to the burner by being rotated in the valve housing, the valve body comprising: 
 a valving portion for closing and opening a fuel outlet from the valve housing to the burner; and    a fuel inlet in line with said axis for communicating fuel through the valve body and into the valve housing and connectable to a fuel supply hose capable of being rotated for rotating the valve body in the valve housing to thereby control the fuel flow to the burner.
