Patent number: 4760955Abstract: An improved control system for controlling the heating and cooling of a building or home including an improved control device forming a component of the control system. The control device includes a lever which can pivot about a central axis intermediate the ends of the lever, each end of the lever having a bimetallic element adjacent to and above a resistance heating element. The outer end of the bimetallic element coupled to one end of the lever engages an adjustable stop. The other bimetallic element is in engagement with a resilient blade which, depending upon its operative position, controls the flow of a fluid through a tube, the fluid flow through the tube being a function of the operative condition of the adjacent bimetallic element. The fluid flow through the tube determines how a fluid-actuated controller is operated to control a valve which provides heating and cooling fluid for heating and cooling a space.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1987Date of Patent: August 2, 1988Inventor: James H. Turner
