Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0891118A1] The heating element comprises a resistance circuit (2) through which an electric current passes and which is in thermal contact with the inner surface of a heat conducting plate (3) or sole plate through electrical insulators. The resistance circuit is a thin layer of material, and the insulators are provided by a ceramic layer (4,4a,4b) with its upper face receiving the resistance circuit and its lower one in contact with the inner surface of the sole plate. The thin layer forming the resistance circuit is made from tin oxide, zinc oxide or an organo-metallic material, applied in droplet or vapour form. The layer is divided into a series of conducting strips lying parallel to one another and distributed so as to cover the whole of the ceramic layer, ensuring a constant surface power. The conducting strips can also be formed by engraving or masking and are linked in series by connectors.
