Thermally actuatable electrical switch construction and method of making the same

In a method of making a thermally actuatable electrical switch construction having a resilient contact member normally biased into electrical contact with a stationary contact member while a temperature sensitive member of said construction is in a solid condition and normally springing out of contact with said stationary contact member by the natural bias of said resilient contact member when said temperature sensitive member is rendered non-solid by sensing a temperature above a predetermined temperature, the improvement comprising the step of forming a guide means to be carried by said construction and be operatively associated with said resilient contact member to provide a guide for said resilient contact member that will substantially insure that said resilient contact member will move and be maintained out of contact with said stationary contact member after said temperature sensitive member has been rendered non-solid.
