Ein Vorteil dieser Anordnung liegt in einer ehr effektiven großflächigen Abdeckung der Oberfläche einer Grundstruktur.According to a very special arrangement, the loop of the heating filament is introduced into the basic structure in a partially meandering manner such that a first loop part, which leads from the first end of the heating filament to a reversal point of the heating filament, meanders at a predetermined distance parallel to the loop shape of the meandering Sensor thread is introduced into the basic structure, and a second loop part, which runs from the reversal point to the second end of the heating filament, is introduced in a straight line into the basic structure. One advantage of this arrangement is that it covers the surface of a basic structure very effectively over a large area.
