ABSTRACT:
A temperature sensing apparatus for use in association with faucets, which dispense liquid mediums, such as water. A thermal transfer element, which may comprise a band-like member, includes an inner surface, an exterior surface and a base color visually observable on at least a portion of the exterior surface. Base color changing material is integrally distributed within the thermal transfer element, and, serves to change at least a portion of the base color to one or more alternative colors. Each alternative color is visually observable upon transfer of a predetermined degree of heat generated from the liquid medium to and through the thermal transfer element. Sensitivity enhancement members, which are integrally formed in the thermal transfer element, facilitate the transfer of the degree of heat so generated from the liquid medium, and, in turn, expedite the changing of the base color of the thermal transfer element to the one or more alternative colors.
