  • Publication number: 20220336990
    Abstract: Provided is a thermostat including a diaphragm arranged on a core body that is inserted into a base. The assembly is closed at the top by a metallic cover and at the bottom by a flat lid. The thermostat also includes the core body presenting a cylindrical shape and is provided with two radially opposing projections and a guide hole, with the guide hole centrally arranged to receive a pin in a slidably manner; and the base, in an monolithic body, including: two walls in the form of a cylindrical arc, having collars on their top portions and together defining a cradle for said core body; and sides and faces that are adjacent to the sides. Projecting from said faces are terminals for electrical connection. The short terminal is coupled to a contact blade for contact with the long terminal. The blade is actuated by the pin, which is in turn actuated by the diaphragm. The terminals and the blade are co-injected with the base.

  • Patent number: 9091609
    Abstract: A protective casing for a household appliance includes an encapsulation and a support fitted therein. The support has an upper recess for the sensor, also housing a cushion with a central hole, and an electrical connector; and the encapsulation with a horizontal structural portion, from which a mechanical engagement, a bed and a connection project. The bed is generally cylindrical, with a flat top with a central hole and an octagonal side surface with alternate round and flat walls, the internal surface delimited by the walls has a similar and/or cooperative geometry with the side surface of the support. Particularly, a bottom surface, the cushion and top of the bed define an open chamber, housing the sensor. The chamber being in fluid communication with the source of the pressure to be measured through the lumen of the connector and the central hole as included on the top of the bed.
