Abstract

The invention proposes a thermostat having a support supporting at least two connections, a moving contact (supported by an elastic connecting member operated by a bimetallic strip) being electrically connected to one connection and a stationary mating contact being electrically connected to the other connection, and it being possible to connect a low-resistance connection of the contact to the mating contact, under the influence of a small bimetallic plate, in which a block-shaped retaining part (19) rests with a resting surface (21) on at least one side of the support, in that a switching member (24), supporting the contacts or a contact (16), rests on the surface opposite the resting surface, at a distance from the support (2) and in that rivet structures (9, 27), for solid riveting of at least one contact (14, 16) or the switching member (24), are constructed on the retaining part (19). <IMAGE>
