ABSTRACT:
A thermostat device comprises a thermostat unit having a surface which faces in a first direction and which is preferably disposed in thermally-coupled heat-transfer relation to an object whose temperature is to be monitored so that the thermostat unit is promptly responsive to an object temperature, the unit also having other surfaces which face in an opposite direction. A metal mounting bracket plate has a base portion, has a stud secured to the base portion to extend in one direction from the base for securing the plate to the object to be monitored in thermally-coupled heat-transfer relation to the object, and has integral spring portions upstanding from respective opposite ends of the base portion of the plate. The spring portions have openings fitted over respective portions of the thermostat unit so that parts of the spring portions around the margins of the openings engage said other unit surfaces for detachably attaching the bracket plate to the unit and for resiliently biasing the first unit surface against the base portion of the bracket plate to be thermally-coupled in heat-transfer relation to the object to be monitored.
