Abstract

Um eine Heizvorrichtung zu schaffen, die in verschiedenen Leistungsstufen arbeiten kann, dennoch aber lediglich von einer Seite her kontaktiert werden muss, sieht die Erfindung eine Heizvorrichtung mit mindestens zwei plattenförmigen Keramikheizelementen, die auf gegenüberliegenden Flachseiten elektrisch kontaktiert werden, wobei auf mindestens einer Seite mindestens ein flacher elektrischer Leiter vorgesehen ist, vor, bei dem auf einer Seite der Elemente mindestens zwei Leiter elektrisch voneinander isoliert angeordnet sind, wobei jeder der Leiter mindestens mit einem Heizelement in Kontakt steht.

Figure imgaf001
In order to provide a heating device which can operate in different power levels, but nevertheless only has to be contacted from one side, the invention provides a heating device with at least two plate-shaped ceramic heating elements which are electrically contacted on opposite flat sides, at least one on at least one side flat electrical conductor is provided, in which on one side of the elements at least two conductors are arranged electrically insulated from each other, each of the conductors is at least in contact with a heating element.
