Liquid heating vessel and control

摘要

A mechanical actuator assembly for a liquid heating appliance, the assembly may be housed in the appliance sub-base 19 and includes at least one actuator 800 for interfacing with a thermal responsive control 60, wherein the actuator is operable in a linear direction towards the control to switch between operating states. In another aspect, the assembly includes at least two concentric actuators 801, 802 for operating a thermal responsive control, wherein each actuator is operable to operate a different state of the thermal responsive control and wherein movement of the at least two actuators are interlinked. In a further aspect, a means for illuminating a feature on a substantially transparent or translucent body of the vessel is described, comprising projection or diffusion of a light on to an end of the transparent or translucent vessel body.
