- the thermostat 3 comprises on the other hand a rigid blade 5 integral with the body of the thermostat 1.
- Each of the blades 5 and 6 has contacts 5a and 6a.
- a bimetallic blade 37 is fixed to the base of the body of the thermostat 3, it is mechanically coupled to the blade 6 by an insulating rod 38.
- the bending of the bimetallic blade 37 causes, in a manner known per se, the displacement of the end 6b of the blade 6, which has the consequence of causing the abrupt separation of the contacts 5a. and 6a respectively carried by the blades 5 and 6.
- the power supply of the electrical resistance of the sole 2 is then cut off.
- the blade 5 rigid also comprises an electrical connection pad 5b forming an angle of the order of 45 ° with the portion of the blade 5 carrying the contact 5a.
- the thermostat 3 also incorporates a thermal cut-out device comprising a switch 7 comprising a flexible contact blade 71, with spring effect, in electrical connection with the flexible blade 4 and a rigid contact blade 72 provided with a connection portion 72B , the flexible contact blade 71 being disposed below the rigid contact blade 72 and carrying a contact 71 A which bears against a contact 72A of the rigid contact blade 72.
- a thermal cut-out device comprising a switch 7 comprising a flexible contact blade 71, with spring effect, in electrical connection with the flexible blade 4 and a rigid contact blade 72 provided with a connection portion 72B , the flexible contact blade 71 being disposed below the rigid contact blade 72 and carrying a contact 71 A which bears against a contact 72A of the rigid contact blade 72.
- the switch 7 is held in the closed position by a transmission member 8 standing vertically on a fuse plug 22 housed in a cavity 21 formed in the heating plate 2, this fusible plug 22 being made of an alloy capable of to melt at a temperature of the order of 390 ° C, at which it is desired to cut the power supply of the resistance 20 of the heating plate 2 in the event of failure of the thermostat control system 3.

- the body of the thermostat 3 comprises a bottom plate 39 which extends laterally above the cavity 21 and which includes an orifice crossed by the rod 81, providing transverse guidance of the rod 81 above the fuse plug 22.
- the transmission member 8 also comprises a fuse element 83 which is advantageously interposed between the head 82 and the rod 81, the fuse element 83 being made of an alloy capable of melting when the temperature of the The heating plate 2 reaches a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the fusible plug 22, for example when the temperature of the heating plate 2 is greater than 400 ° C.
- the fuse element 83 will advantageously have a temperature of melting below 300 ° C.
- the fuse element 83 has a lower end bearing on an upper end of the rod 81 and has an upper end which is engaged in a cavity of the head 82, the head 82 having a peripheral skirt extending around of the fuse element 83.
- the peripheral skirt advantageously comprises a lower end provided with a central opening 82A in which is engaged the upper end of the rod 81, this central opening 82A having a diameter adapted to the diameter of the rod 81 so that the head 82 can slide on the upper end of the rod 81 being guided along the longitudinal axis of the latter during the melting of the fuse element 83.

- the power supply of the heating resistor contained in the heating plate 2 is then cut off.
- the temperature of the heating plate 2 then continues to increase until the heat transmitted through the rod 81 leads the fuse element 83 of the transmission member 8 to also reach its melting temperature.
- the fusing of the fuse plug 22 causes the head 82 to descend along the rod 81 over a course of several millimeters, so that the length of the transmission member 8 is reduced. , which causes the contact blade 71 to descend downwards, in particular under the influence of its spring effect, and its contact 71 a deviates from the contact 72a of the other contact blade 72.
- the power supply of the heating resistor contained in the heating plate 2 is then cut off and it is no longer likely to be heated further, thereby eliminating a risk of fire.
- the apparatus thus produced thus has the advantage of providing improved security thanks to the presence of two fusible devices arranged in series which cooperate with the same circuit breaker switch, the presence of the second fuse device for mitigating a failure opening of the circuit breaker switch following a blockage of the lower end of the rod in the cavity of the heating plate.
- the integration of the second fuse device in the transmission member makes it possible to maintain a thermostat equipped with a circuit breaker which remains compact, of simple construction and which can be mounted in a single operation on the hotplate of the iron to redo.
- the invention can be applied to any household appliance provided with a heating plate whose temperature is regulated by means of a thermostat and not only in the field of irons.
