Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1145670A2] The device has electrical heating elements between a bed frame and safety foil and regulates the temperature of a metal plate beneath the safety foil. The heating elements are connected to the plate via a thermally conducting coating and consist of current and heat conducting metal elements held together by current conducting coupling elements and positive temperature coefficient heating elements that generate heat when carrying current. The device has electrical heating elements between a bed frame and safety foil and regulates the temperature of a metal plate fitted beneath the safety foil of a water bed core, The heating elements are thermally connected to the underside of the plate in a flat housing via a thermally conducting coating. The heating elements consist of several current and heat conducting metal elements (15-18) held together by force and/or shape locking by current conducting coupling elements (25,26) and positive temperature coefficient heating elements (19-24) held between them that generate heat when carrying current.
