Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0013561A2] A base (1) is provided comprising a base plate (2) having a channel (3) therein and an electrical heating element (4) located and held in the channel such that the heating element (4) and the base plate (2) form one integral unit. The base (1) is adapted to be included in a container of a heating vessel, for example a kettle. The heating element (4) may be a resistance wire. An electrical insulating, thermally conducting material (12) may be provided around the heating element (4) in the channel (3), to hold it in a substantially central position in the channel (3). A closure member (13) is preferably placed over and secured in the channel (3). The base (1) may be provided with one or more electrical cut-off devices (30) to disconnect the electrical supply to the element (4) should this overheat. A method of manufacture of a base (1) and an apparatus for positioning the heating element (4) in the channel (3) of the base (1) are also provided.
