Abstract
Disclosed is a temperature-sensing member including a columnar or hollow cylindrical base having a configuration of a circular or polygonal column or a hollow circular or polygonal cylinder; and at least one strip member of a material having a different coefficient of thermal expansion from that of the base, wherein the strip member is provided on at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the base at an acute angle with respect to an axis of the base and in such directions as to intersect each other on opposite sides of the base. In a case where two or more of the strip members are provided on the base, the strip members are disposed in mutually different directions with respect to an axis of the base and at an acute angle with respect to the base. The base may be formed into a tubular base having a rectangular, polygonal, circular configuration, in which case the strip member is provided on at least a portion of each opposite side of the base at an acute angle with respect to a breadthwise central line of the base in such a manner as to be oriented toward different directions. The strip member may be formed into a configuration of a belt, wire, or rod.
