Abstract

In a thermostatic bimetallic measuring element, an adjustment lever (5) which bears a thermostatic bimetallic body (6) is held, on the one hand, by a collar (24) of a setting eccentric (12) and, on the other hand, by a holding section (14) which is formed on a section of the adjustment lever (5) which engages through a slot in a rear plate (1) of the thermostatic bimetallic element and rests against the back of the rear plate (1). By turning the setting eccentric (12), displacement of the adjustment lever (5) is possible around an imaginary of actual pivot shaft which engages into the slot.
