Description
3~63~
Various heating devices are presently known and already in use which, by means of an electric resistance that can be placed beneath a base plate, provide for heating tablets containing materials, which are released by evaporation, such as scented, deodorizing or insecticidal substances.
According to the prior art, such an electric resistance could be wound on an insulating support of a substantially flat shape, and then coated with an insulating enamel to produce a heating plate. However, it was found in practice that such a heating plàte suffered from some disadvantages during the processing step, due to the difficulty in providing a perfect electrical insulation.
Another type of heating plate comprises a metal base plate, provided with an electric resistance applied under said base by a metal collar - or hooks. However7 this system has disadvantages consisting of conductivity of the metal plate which, for safety purposes, should be connected to a grounding jack.
The plate, which is the subject of the present invention, is characterized by using two distinct elements, as inserted in one another, to reali~e a throughly insulated structure of increased duration but nevertheless more economical.
Thus, according to the invention, there is provided a heating device for evapora~e substances, such as scents, deodorizers or insecticides, comprising an envelope of insula~ing material, a resistance wound on a core, such core being housed within the envelope, and two terminals of the resistance exlting from the envelope. The envelope includes a heating ` support mounted on a body of insulating material, the two terminals of the resistance being connected by relative plug means integral with the body for ' . . . . . ,. : , , . : . ;::. .: . ,. - -;3~

connection to a current tap.
Preferably, the heating support has a T-shaped cross-section and an upper flat surface. A hole is provided at the center of the heating support, and two extensions of the heating support each have a hole therethrough. The inferior or stem portion of the T-shaped cross-section comprises a generally circular shaped cross section and extends longitudinally of the support structure to form a tubular hollow cylinder of insulating material with a flat longitudinally extending base portion located generally tangentially to the tubular shaped portion. A heating element comprising a small hollow cylinder having electrical resistance wire wrapped thereabout is adapted to fit within the tubular-shaped portion of the support member and electrical terminals attached to the electrical resistance wires extend outwardly from the ends of -`
the tubular shaped portion. The generally flat portion of the support member, that is the base of the T-shaped cross-section is heated by the internal electrical resistance when current is applied to the resistance wire.
The heat causes the evaporation of a tablet which is placed thereon and which is impregnated with an appropriate evaporative substance such as a deodorant or insecticide.
In accordance with yet a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the heating device as above described further includes a body for enclosing the previously described support structure. The body is preferably constructed of a plastic insulating material and includes a suitable means for supporting said support structure therewithin. Further, the body lncludes means such as a standard plug for supplying electrical current to the resistance wires previously described which are connected thereto. The body may then be connected to a source of electrical supply such as by inserting the plugs into a standard wall socket or the like.

In the cylindrical hole 11 of the heatlng support 10, there are two diametral grooves 1~, to guide the introduction of the resistance 18' with the associated terminals 19 and 19'. Grooves 12 are only necessary to accommodate enlarged points of connection of terminals 19, 19' adjacent the resistance wire 17 such as by solder beads or the like. When terminals 19, 19' extend from the axial ends of resistance 18', no grooves are necessary. In the wall 13 which forms a tubular envelope there are moreover, two notches 14, 14' for allowing the terminals 19, 19' of resistance wire 17 to exit from hole 11. At the two sides of the tubular envelope 13-two extensions or enlargements 15, 15' are provided with holes 15 " and 15 "' to prevent the heat produced by resistance 18' to spread to the ends of the same support which is mounted in a plastic body 40 of the electric anti-mosquito heating device. The heating support 10 (Fig. 1) has a planar surface 16 on which the tablet containing the evaporable substances can directly bear. This planar surface 16 is preferably treated with a coating 16' of vitrified enamel of the desired colour. This coating no longer performs as in the past the insulating function for the resistance, since in this device, insulation is assured by the whole assembly of heating support 10. The coating remàins sanitary since it cannot become impregnated with dirt.
The heating support 10 is supported by two supporting rails 40' ` (only one shown) o~ the body 40. The rails 40' support the heating support 10 by the extensions 15 and 15'. The body 40 includes slots 41, 41' for allowing heated air to flow through the holes 15", 15 "' so that the substance to be evaporated is diffused by the air flow along the surface of the heating support lO.

The plate 21 has a coating 21' of vitrified enamel on one surface thereof.

Terminals 34, 35 and 36 are covered with thermal insulation 34', 35' and 36', respectively. Heating plates 27 and 28 each have an enamel coating 21" ', 21 " ", respectively on their upper surface.
