PCT No. PCT/EP97/00880 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 2, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 2, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 24, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/33111 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1997A thermal safety device is disclosed which, in the area of the closing element, has an uninterrupted circular cross section. Furthermore, the axial guiding of the closing element during the closing stroke is ensured. In the axial continuation of a seat located within the casing there is a guide pin. A closing spring is aligned on this guide pin, and, when taut, the spring is situated as far as possible inside a blind hole, with a throat acting as a control edge, inside the closing element. Under the influence of the closing spring, a ram forming a part of a detecting element, keeps the control edge adjacent to a clip-stop edge when the safety device is in the open position. Once the thermal solder element melts away, however, the resulting change in position of the ram allows the control edge to move away from the click-stop edge, so that the closing element, under the influence of the closing spring, moves into a closed position. The thermal safety device acts to shut off pipes, especially gas pipes, automatically should an inadmissible rise in temperature occur.
