  • Patent number: 6748680
    Abstract: Thermally controlled apparatus 1 for actuating a valve opening 2, in particular a fluid valve, in particular a drip-stop valve in a steam iron, the apparatus having a bimetallic spring disc 3 fastened to a carrier element 4, the edge 5 or edge region of which disc opens or closes the valve opening depending on the curvature position of the bimetallic spring disc 3. The valve opening is formed through a cross-sectionally variable segment 6 of a tube- or pipe-like flow-through element 7, and the edge 5 or edge region of the bimetallic spring disc 3 acts directly on the cross-sectionally variable segment 6.
