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 changes in object temperature, the thermostat unit also having other surfaces which face in an opposite direction. A metal bracket mounting means comprises a plate having an integral base portion extending in a plane to be secured to an object to be monitored, having an opening in the base portion of the plate, and having a pair of integral spring portions of the plate upstanding from said plane at respective opposite sides of the opening, the spring portions having distal ends thereof folded toward each other and back toward said plane to engage the second surface portions of the thermostat unit for detachably attaching the bracket means to the thermostat unit and for resiliently biasing the unit toward the object to be monitored so that said first surface of the unit extends through the base opening into thermally-coupled heat-transfer relation to the object.
