Temperature switch and method for adjusting a temperature switch

A temperature switch, comprising

• a housing (2),
• a switching system (3) consisting of a first support (3.1) with a fixed contact (3.2) and a second support (3.3), on which a switch spring (3.4) with a switch contact (3.5) is arranged, and
• a switching arrangement (4), which effects a positional change of the switch contact (3.5) as a function of the temperature,
• wherein
• the first and second supports (3.1, 3.3) are bendable,
• the housing (2) is formed by at least one first housing section (2.1) having at least one housing opening (2.3) and a second housing section (2.2) closing the housing opening (2.3),
• the first and second supports (3.1, 3.3) are accessible via the housing opening (2.3) by adjustment means (10, 11),
• the housing opening (2.3) is at an end of the first housing section (2.1),
• the first housing section (2.1) at least partially houses the switching arrangement (4),
• the first and second supports (3.1, 3.3) extend laterally into an interior (2.1.1) in the first housing section (2.1),
• the first housing section (2.1) has two side sections (2.1.2, 2.1.2′) located opposite to each other, on which a projection (6, 6′) is formed in each case, each projection having a projection face (6.1, 6.1′) running essentially at a right angle to a vertical axis of the temperature switch (1), and
• each of the first and second supports (3.1, 3.3) is angled in a first bending region (3a, 3a′) and rests against one of the projection faces (6.1, 6.1′) via an intermediate section (3b, 3b′) adjacent to the first bending region (3a, 3a′) via a wide side.
