t1 = {{"AA", {15.}, {19.}, 4.},
   {"AC", {17.}, {21.}, 4.}};

(ToExpression[#[[1]]][b_, t_] :=     
     Evaluate[If[#[[2, 1]] < t <= #[[3, 1]],
       b, 0]]) & /@ t1;

funcs = ToExpression[#[[1]] & /@ t1];

defs = Flatten[DownValues /@ funcs];

Column[defs]

defs[[1]]

Definition[Evaluate[funcs[[1]]]]
