Claim Text:
1. A temperature switch to electrically interconnect a first wire and a second wire, said temperature switch comprising: a base body; a cap body connected to said base body to form an accommodating chamber therebetween; a conducting mechanism including a first conducting piece to be electrically connected to the first wire, a second conducting piece to be electrically connected to the second wire, a fixed conducting component, a conducting resilient piece that is disposed in said accommodating chamber, that is electrically connected to said first conducting piece, and that is contactable with said fixed conducting component, and a safety unit, said safety unit including a conducting resilient bracket, and a temperature-dependent deformable component abutting against said conducting resilient bracket to bias said conducting resilient bracket into a conducting state where said conducting resilient bracket electrically interconnects said fixed conducting component and said second conducting piece, wherein said temperature-dependent deformable component is deformed upon reaching a specific temperature, such that said conducting resilient bracket is changed to a non-conducting state where said conducting resilient bracket is separated from one of said second conducting piece and said fixed conducting component; and a temperature control mechanism controlling contact between said conducting resilient piece and said fixed conducting component with a sensed temperature; wherein said resilient conducting bracket has two contact walls spaced apart from each other, and a connecting wall interconnecting said contact walls, said temperature-dependent deformable component being disposed between and abutting against said contact walls; wherein, in the conducting state, said temperature-dependent deformable component biases said contact walls, such that said contact walls are respectively and electrically connected to said second conducting piece and said fixed conducting component; and wherein, in the non-conducting state, said resilient conducting bracket is resiliently restored to an original shape thereof such that one of said contact walls is separated from a corresponding one of said second conducting piece and said fixed conducting component.
