Abstract
A temperature control device for an electric pot assembly includes a base for receiving a pot therein and a receptacle is connected to the base. A temperature probe 41 includes a bi-metal plate and an end of the temperature probe is connected to a U-shaped resilient member on an outside of the base and the other end of the temperature probe extends through a peripheral wall of the base. A temperature sensing member is connected to the temperature probe and has two overlapped plates. An end of the bi-metal plate contacts one of the plates. The pot has an electric wire and a frame connected to a bottom thereof. The temperature probe is engaged the frame when the pot 1 is put on the base. The two plates are separated to open the circuit when the electric wire is overheated.
Claims3
An electric pot assembly comprising:
- a base having a receptacle connected thereto and a resilient member connected to an outside of said base;
- a temperature probe comprising a bi-metal plate received therein and an end of said temperature probe connected to said resilient member and the other end of said temperature probe extending through a hole defined in a peripheral wall of said base, a temperature sensing member connected to said temperature probe and having a first plate and a second plate, said first plate located above and contacting said second plate, an end of said bi-metal plate contacting said second plate, and
- a pot having an electric wire connected to a bottom thereof and two terminals extending from two ends of said electric wire, said two terminals engaged with said receptacle when said pot is put on said base, a frame connected to said bottom of said pot and having a recess in which said temperature probe is engaged when said pot is put on said base.
