Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1458003A1] The tube (8) of the temperature sensor (7) extends all the way across the top of the circular heating element (1). It contains a first long rod (L1.9) which expands when heated and presses on the end of a short rod (L2.9) which extends into a housing (10). The housing contains electrical contacts (11,12) which may be pushed together by expansion of the first rod. The two rods have different coefficients of expansion to compensate for expansion of the housing. The housing may be rotated as a knob (18) to alter the setting of the switch.
