本发明涉及一种致动装置（6），用于从打开位置的气体阀（1）的致动元件（43），其中，所述致动元件（43）配有一个封闭元件（3）的气体阀（1）可操作地连接，其中，所述致动元件（43） 在气体阀（1）被打开时，可移位到关闭位置，其中，所述气体阀（1）闭合，并且其中所述致动部件（43）由第一弹簧装置的装置（27）被朝向关闭位置偏压， 和具有设置在壳体（7）的致动装置（6）链路导（47）和所提供的一个致动元件（43）的导向销（46）上的锁定装置（53）接合所述联杆引导部（47）， 由第二弹簧装置的装置偏压，所述致动元件（43）（42），使得所述引导销（46）（在打开位置中的第一锁定部 接合48）的连杆引导件（47）锁定在打开位置的致动元件（43），其中导销（46），通过对从所述第一锁定部的第二弹簧装置（42）的弹簧力的致动元件（43）移动（48 ）被提升出并且其中，当从所述第一锁定部（48）的导向销（46）被提升（由第一弹簧的弹簧力操作部件（43）装置27）是可移动的自动进入关闭位置。 本发明还涉及一种气体阀（1）具有阀壳体（2），可旋转地设置在阀壳体（2）封闭元件（3）和这样的致动装置（6）。 此外，本发明涉及一种加热板（5），特别是燃气灶具，与这样的致动装置（6）和/或这样的气体阀（1）。

The invention relates to an actuating device (6) for a gas valve (1) with an actuating element (43), wherein the actuating element (43) with a closing element (3) of the gas valve (1) is operatively connected, wherein the actuating element (43) from an open position , in which the gas valve (1) open, into a closed position in which the gas valve (1) is closed, can be displaced, and wherein the actuating member (43) is biased by means of a first spring means (27) toward the closed position, and a locking means (53) on a housing (7) of the actuating device (6) provided for connecting link guide (47) and one on the actuating element (43) provided for the guide pin (46) which engages in the link guide (47), the actuating element (43) is biased by means of a second spring means (42) such that the guide pin (46) in the open position in a first locking portion (48) of the guide linkage (47) engages to the actuating element (43) in the open position to lock, the guide pin (46) is lifted out by a displacement of the actuating element (43) against a spring force of the second spring means (42) from the first locking portion (48) and said actuator (43) when the guide pin (46) from the first locking portion (48) is lifted by a spring force of the first spring means (27) is automatically movable into the closed position. The invention further relates to a gas valve (1) with a valve housing (2), a in the valve housing (2) rotatably mounted closure element (3) and of such an actuating device (6). Furthermore, the invention relates to a hotplate (5), in particular a gas hob, with such an actuating device (6) and / or such a gas valve (1).
