This heating element with the seat heater arranged on the support is then pressed in the production of the toilet seat with a round body and optionally provided with a thin cover layer, which is for example a lacquer layer.
  • Such a toilet seat has the advantage that the production cost of integrating the seat heating is minimal and that this seat heating can be placed very close to the surface, so that a rapid surface heating of the seat is guaranteed.

  • the at least one functional component is then preferably arranged in the region of a meandering loop.
  • the invention provides, by means of a preferably thermoset carrier, which is compatible with the thermoset base material of the seat or the cover, to introduce third party media (functional components) via suitable manufacturing processes.
  • third party media are to be used as sensors to create a "smart" seat
  • the third-party media may be simple electrical conductors, such as a wire which, when heated by body heat, changes its resistance and thereby is able to detect the presence of the sensor User or to record their body temperature
  • Sensors electrically conductive contacts to measure surface resistance (e.g., for body fat measurement) or other type of sensors capable of providing evaluable signals.
  • thermoset - carrier As a method of introducing the sensor, e.g. a Hochfrequenzbeetzung, ultrasound, laser beam, heat, pressure can be used to embed the wire or the functional component in the - preferably thermoset - carrier.
  • the carrier with the sensor (functional components) is applied directly or in several steps to the surface of the Base material pressed.
  • the sensor can be exposed on the surface, so that, for example, conductivity measurements are possible.
  • the layer structure can be pressed over thinly by an additional thermosetting material, so that an electrical short circuit is prevented.

Also, user IDs can be read or read via an RFID antenna or the like.

These concepts are chosen according to the desired application, so for example, in a sensor for conductivity measurement no overlapping layer is provided.
