Abstract
A temperature control means for a cooking griddle wherein a tubular thermostat is clamped to the bottom of the griddle plate, shielded from direct engagement by the heating medium and having a predetermined portion of the temperature sensing bulb of the thermostat directly exposed to the heating medium for cooperation with the actuating fluid in the thermostat tube so as to operate the on-off switch of the heating medium within a temperature range of about 5 degrees F.
Claims4
A heat control means for a cooking griddle plate comprising a source of thermal energy directly applied to the bottom side of the plate to heat the same and means for on-off operation of said energy source, said heat control means comprising an elongated temperature responsive body having a major portion of its length firmly positioned against the bottom side of said plate, and means spaced from said body for shielding substantially the entire length thereof, adjustable means for clamping the temperature responsive body against the bottom of said plate, said adjustable means extending through said shielding means and allowing said temperature responsive body to be moved longitudinally to directly expose a desired portion to and thermally influenced by said energy source.
