ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a thermostatic control unit for radiator valves, this unit being of the type which has an adjustable bellows. The bellows is adjusted only during initial calibration of the thermostatic control unit or when the temperature setting of the unit is changed. The control unit includes a screw and nut arrangement in which the nut is attached to the free or moving end of the adjustment bellows. About three turns between the screw and the nut have been found suitable to provide a sufficient movement of the nut to allow an adequate adjustment of the bellows. A problem with prior units of this type is that if the screw is turned inwardly more than three turns the thread may bottom and thereby cause an excessive and damaging torque to be transmitted to the bellows. Alternately, if the screw is turned outwardly to disengage from the nut, the nut becomes cocked in the enclosed casing and it becomes impossible for the screw to re-enter the nut. The above disadvantages resulting from an excessive turning of the screw in either direction has been overcome by the present invention by providing a construction which positively limits the turning of the screw to about two revolutions.
