ABSTRACT:
A differential expansion rod and tube thermostat wherein the material of the inner rod has a much lower coefficient of thermal expansion than does the material of the outer tube. The thermostat is adapted to be mounted through an opening in the wall of an oven cooking cavity. A certain amount of the tube remains outside the oven cooking cavity. The inner rod is adapted to lie within the oven cooking cavity. Joined to the inner rod is an extension strap of a material having a high linear coefficient of thermal expansion substantially the same as that of the outer tube. The longitudinal motion created by the difference in the rates of expansion between the outer tube and the combined inner rod and extension strap is transferred by a hinged amplifier lever to a switch mechanism which is calibrated to operate at a predetermined oven temperature.
