A cut-back thermostat construction having a thermostat arrangement and a timer carried by a frame in such a manner that the timer will cut back the temperature setting of the thermostat arrangement by moving an electrical switch unit of the thermostat arrangement relative to a temperature responsive switch operator when a predetermined time is reached by the timer. A movable actuator is carried by the frame and is operatively associated with the switch unit to be adapted to cause a certain movement of the switch unit relative to the switch operator when the actuator is moved from a first position thereof to a second position thereof by the timer reaching the predetermined time. An adjustable member is carried by the frame and is separate from the actuator for selecting the amount of movement of the switch unit relative to the switch operator when the actuator is moved from the first position thereof to the second position thereof whereby the adjustable member selects the cut-back temperature of the thermostat arrangement.
In a cut-back thermostat construction having a thermostat arrangement and a timer means carried by a frame means in such a manner that said timer means will cut-back the temperature setting of said thermostat arrangement by moving an electrical switch means of said thermostat arrangement relative to a temperature responsive switch operator of said thermostat arrangement when a predetermined time is reached by said timer means, said construction also having movable actuator means that is carried by said frame means and is operatively associated with said switch means to be adapted to cause a certain movement of said switch means relative to said switch operator when said actuator means is moved from a first position thereof to a second position thereof by said timer means when said predetermined time is reached by said timer means, the improvement comprising adjustable means carried by said frame means and being separate from said actuator means for selecting the amount of movement of said switch means relative to said switch operator when said actuator means is moved from said first position thereof to said second position thereof whereby said adjustable means selects the cut-back temperature of said thermostat arrangement.
