A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance has a temperature control device for electrical connection to the appliance. The temperature control device has a first member extending outwardly therefrom and a conductor on the first side of the temperature control device. The temperature control device has a probe on a second side substantially opposite the first side. The apparatus has a power supply cord with a female electrical connector that connects to the conductor. The female connector is connectable to a power supply to supply power to the female connector and to the conductor. The power supply cord has a clip member that selectively fastens to the first member so that the first member disengages the clip member without disturbing a position of the appliance upon application of a force on the power supply cord.

1. A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance comprising:a temperature control device for electrical connection to the appliance, said temperature control device having a body with a first side and a second side being substantially opposite said first side, said temperature control device
1. A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance comprising:a temperature control device for electrical connection to the appliance, said temperature control device having a body with a first side and a second side being substantially opposite said first side, said temperature control device having a first member extending outwardly from said first side, said temperature control device having a conductor near said first side and a probe on said second side; anda power supply cord having a female electrical connector at a first end of a power supply, said female connector connecting to said conductor and being connectable to the power supply to supply power to said female connector and to said conductor, said power supply cord having a clip member on said first end of the power supply, wherein said clip member selectively fastens to said first member so that said first member disengages said clip member such that the appliance does not substantially move upon application of a force on said power supply cord.2. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first member has a stem connected to a spherical portion.3. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 1, wherein said clip member is a friction clip that is substantially “U” shaped.4. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first member is substantially fungiform shaped.5. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 4, wherein said first member is between a plurality of conductors on said first side.6. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 4, wherein said clip member is between said female electrical connector and a second female electrical connector on said power supply cord in a recess in said power supply cord.7. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 4, wherein said clip member has a shape selected from the group consisting of “V” shaped, “Y” shaped, “O” shaped, and any combinations thereof.8. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 4, wherein said first member and said clip member disengage relative to one another upon application of a predetermined force.9. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 1, wherein said probe selectively connects to a port of the appliance, said temperature control device having a thermostat electrically connected to said probe, said temperature control device controlling an operating temperature of the appliance.10. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 9, wherein said temperature control device has a control dial, said control dial controlling said operating temperature of the appliance.11. A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance comprising:a temperature control device having a body with a first side and a second side substantially opposite said first side, said temperature control device being electrically connected to the appliance, said temperature control device having a probe and a conductor, said probe extending outwardly from said first side, said conductor being on said second side; anda power supply cord having a first cord side and a second cord side being substantially opposite said second cord side, said power supply cord having a second conductor at said second cord side to connect to a power supply, said power supply cord having a female connector at said first cord side for connecting to said first conductor, wherein said second side removably connects to said first cord side,wherein said second side has a male member and said first cord side has a female clip member, said male member being removably engageable in said female clip member.12. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 11, wherein said second side removably connects to said first cord side by a plug.13. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim claim 11, wherein said male member is a plug, said plug having a first stem portion and a second bulbous member, said second bulbous member being connected to said first stem portion.14. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 11, wherein said female clip member is a substantially “U” shaped friction clip.15. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 13, wherein said female clip member is a friction clip, said friction clip having a size complementary to a size of said second bulbous member.16. The detachable power supply apparatus of claim 11, wherein said conductor is engageable with said female connector so that said temperature control device receives power from the power supply.17. A detachable power supply apparatus for an appliance comprising:a first electrical component having a body, said first electrical component being electrically connected to the appliance by a first conductive member on a first side; anda second component having a body with a second side, wherein said first electrical component has a member at said first side, and wherein said second component has a friction clip at said second side, said second side being complementary to said first side so that said friction clip releasably engages said member and releases said member upon an application of a force upon either said first component and said second component such that the appliance does not substantially move.18. The detachable power supply of claim 17, wherein power traverses from said power source to said first electrical component when said friction clip releasably engages said member, and wherein power does not traverse from said power source to said first electrical component when said friction clip releasably disengages said member.19. The detachable power supply of claim 17, wherein said friction clip has a base portion connected to a first arm and connected to a second arm, said first arm having a first curved portion, said second arm having a second curved portion, said member having a stem and a bulbous portion connected to said stem, said first curved portion and said second curved portion releasably engaging said bulbous portion.20. A power supply apparatus for an electrical appliance comprising:a housing with a first side and a second side, said first side connected to a power supply,wherein said housing has a friction clip at said second side,wherein said friction clip releasably engages the electrical appliance,wherein said friction clip selectively releases the electrical appliance upon an application of a force such that the location of the appliance does not substantially move, andwherein said friction clip has a base portion connected to a first arm and connected to a second arm, said first arm having a first curved portion, said second arm having a second curved portion, and wherein said first curved portion and said second curved portion releasably engages the electrical appliance.21. The power supply apparatus of claim 20, wherein said friction clip is substantially “U” shaped and releasably engages a bulbous member on the electrical appliance.22. The power supply apparatus of claim 20, wherein said friction clip has a shape selected from the group consisting of “V” shaped, “Y” shaped, “O” shaped, and any combinations thereof.
