Temperature switch having slidable thermal exchanger

Claim 1

THE COMBINATION OF A TEMPERATURE RESPONSIVE CONTROL FOR SENSING THE TEMPERATURE OF AN AUTOMOBILE WATER JACKET AND AN ENGINE WATER JACKET HAVING A FLAT MACHINED RECESS THEREIN, SAID TEMPERATURE REPONSIVE CONTROL COMPRISING; A CONTROL BODY HAVING A THREADED PORTION AND RECEIVED A COOPERATING THREADED APERTURE IN A WATER JACKET OPPOSITE THE POINT WHERE THE FLAT MACHINED RECESS IS DISPOSED, A HEAT SENSITIVE ELEMENT CARRIED BY A PORTION OF THE CONTROL BODY, A HEAT CONDUCTIVE MEMBER FORMING A CLOSURE MEANS FOR THE CONTROL BODY AND BEING DISPOSED TO SOURROUND SAID HEAT SENSITIVE ELEMENT, A THERMAL CONDUCTIVE MEMBER DISPOSED IN SLIDING CONTACT WITH AN OUTER SURFACE OF SAID HEAT CONDUCTIVE MEMBER AND DURING CERTAIN EXTREMES OF MOVEMENT EFFECTING AN EXTENSION THERETO, SPRING MEANS CARRIED BY SAID HEAT CONDUCTIVE MEMBER AND ARRANGED TO BIAS SAID THERMAL CONDUCTIVE MEMBER AWAY FROM SAID CONTROL BODY TOWARDS THE FLAT RECESS IN THE CONTAINER WALL, AND MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH SIAD THERMAL CONDUCTIVE MEMBER FOR ALLOWING THE FREE FLOW OF FLUID IN THE CONTAINER PAST THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVE MEMBER, SAID THERMAL CONDUCTIVE MEMBER KEPT IN BIASED ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CONTAINER WALL THEREBY EFFECTING A POSITIVE CONDUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP THEREWITH, SAID THERMAL CONDUCTIVE MEMBER BEING ARRANGED TO TRANSMIT HEAT TO SAID HEAT SENSITIVE ELEMENT THEREBY MOVING SAID HEAT SENSITIVE ELEMENT INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH ELECTRICAL CONTACTS CARRIED BY SAID CONTROL BODY, THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS BEING IN CONDUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP TO A SERIES OF INDICATING LIGHTS WHICH ARE SELECTIVELY ENERGIZED IN RESPONSE TO A DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF THE HEAT SENSITIVE ELEMENT.
