  • Control system and method and control device therefor
    Patent number: 4190764
    Abstract: A control system having a control unit provided with a single thermostatically operated control device for operatively interconnecting a heater to a source of energy when the output temperature effect of the heater is below a predetermined setting of a selector of the control unit and to disconnect the heater from the source of energy when the output temperature effect of the heater is above the predetermined setting of the selector, the single thermostatically operated control device also operating an indicating light to indicate that the output temperature effect of the heater is still above a certain value only when the selector of the control unit is in an "off" setting thereof. The selector of the control unit also operates a pilot light to indicate that the selector is set in an "on" setting thereof.

  • Control device having locking selector means
    Patent number: 3999442
    Abstract: A control device having a support and a first selector member rotatably carried by the support. A second selector member is rotatably carried by the support and is axially movable relative to the support and the first selector member. The selector members are coupled together in a manner to cause the first selector member to rotate in unison with the second selector member when the second selector member is rotated. A pair of spaced spring members are disposed between and respectively engage the selector members to tend to maintain the second selector member axially away from the first selector member. The first selector member has a cylindrical part extending therefrom and the second selector member has a C-shaped shaft rotatably disposed against the cylindrical part of the first selector member.
