Abstract (en)
A temperature regulation device (10) has a housing (11) from which protrudes a plug part (12), adapted to be received in an electrical socket to which an electrical supply is provided, and in which at least one socket part (16), adapted to receive an electrical plug connected to an electrical apparatus, is provided. The temperature regulation device (10) has a thermostat device (23) operable to make electrical connections (20, 21) between the plug part (12) and the socket part (16) when the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the temperature regulation device (10) is within a predetermined range, and to break the connections (20, 21) when the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the temperature regulation device (10) is outside that range. The thermostat device (23) may be operable to make the connections (20, 21) when the ambient temperature falls below a predetermined value, above a predetermined value, or both. The predetemined value may be set mechanically or electronically and may be shown on a display 35, and an indicator (28) indicates when the connections (20, 21) are made. <IMAGE>
