Abstract
The present invention provides a thermostat which does not abrade a monitored object, even if movable, and is superior in heat-responsiveness. The present thermostat comprises an approximately round bimetal 3, a holder 2 for holding the lower surface of said bimetal 3 and a cover member 7 for holding the upper surface of said bimetal 3, wherein said bimetal 3 recurves when it exceeds a critical temperature, and said cover member 7 has an opening 7a which does not hinder said cover member 7 from holding said bimetal 3, and portions projecting radially inward from said opening which hold said bimetal 3.
Claims9
A thermostat comprising an approximately round thermosensitive member, a holder for holding one surface of said thermosensitive member and a cover member for holding the other surface of said thermosensitive member, wherein
- said thermosensitive member recurves when it exceeds a critical temperature;
- said cover member has an opening and portions projecting radically inward from said opening which alone hold said thermosensitive member;
- and
- the surface of said thermosensitive member which faces said cover member is treated to absorb heat by coating the surface with heat-resistant paint superior in heat absorption.
A thermostat comprising an approximately rectangular thermosensitive member, a holder for holding one surface of said thermosensitive member and a cover member for holding the other surface of said thermosensitive member, wherein
- said thermosensitive member recurves when it exceeds a heat-resistant temperature;
- said cover member has an opening which does not hinder said cover member from holding said thermosensitive member, and holds said rectangular thermosensitive member on all angles or at least one angle;
- and the surface of said thermosensitive member which faces said cover member is treated to absorb heat by coating the surface with heat-resistant paint superior in heat absorption.
