ABSTRACT:
A thermostat comprises a bimetal switch element reacting upon changes in temperatures which on one of its ends is fastened to a frame and on its other end is provided with an electric contact adapted to engage a fixed contact provided on the frame. The frame comprises two mutually parallel sheet-like metallic contact carriers forming a base unit, through which two parallel pins are extending for connection of both contact carriers and on which pins the contact carrierrs, with a tight fit, are slidable to and fro relative to one another while being held in permanent mutually parallel relation during the sliding. The parallel pins in the thermostat are formed of a ceramic material of positive temperature coefficient of resistivity which serve to electrically space the two metallic contact carriers while also serving as a self-regulating external heating means for the thermostat.
