ABSTRACT:
An adjustable thermostat as disclosed having an adjustment stem journaled for rotation on the thermostat body for adjusting the operating temperature of the thermostat. Mounted on the adjusting stem is a pointer member formed of deformable material such as Nylon and providing a peripheral surface which engages with interference stationary surfaces on the thermostat body. Interengagement is provided between the peripheral surface and the stationary surfaces which causes deformation of the pointer member and creates friction resisting rotation of the pointer and of the adjusting stem. A detent-like structure is provided by flats formed on the peripheral surface of the pointer which mate with the corresponding surfaces of the body to tend to lock the pointer and in turn adjusting stem at a predetermined temperature.
