Thermal cut-out for gas-heated glass ceramic cooking surfaces

摘要

A thermal cut-out for gas-heated glass ceramic cooking surfaces has a temperature sensor extending from a switch housing which contains a snap switch. The sensor consists of a tube with a rod therein, the tube and at least one portion of the length of the rod having differing coefficients of thermal expansion. The temperature sensor is surrounded by an enveloping tube which is at a distance from the temperature sensor.
