Abstract:
A thermally sensitive actuating assembly comprises a base having an opening therein through which a force transmitting member extends. The force transmitting member has therein an opening in which a collapsible strut is accommodated, the strut reacting with the force transmitting member and the member through which it extends to disable movement of the two members in one direction of relative movement. Until such time as the strut collapses it is maintained under a biasing force which stabilizes its position relative to the other parts of the assembly.
