9 Claims. (01. 21938) This invention relates to electric heating eleconductivity between the resistance ribbon and 'ments of the resistance type which are exteriorly the facing band.

The ance element comprising resistance wire 5 wound connection box I2 is secured to the plate I! in on a mica or other insulating band 4. A thin spaced relationship, preferably by the following flat ribbon is used as it presents a large conductmeans.

A weak point in heaters of this type, both mechanically and electrically, is the connection between the resistance ribbon or wire and the terminals. It is desirable that such connections should be mechanically strong and electrically of low resistance to avoid transfer of heat to the terminals. I..f.orm.these connections in.the tollowing manner. "For the leads 1 from the terminals I employ pieces 6 of metal ribbon having a much lower resistance per unit of length than the ribbon 5. Preferably the pieces of ribbonfB are of the same width as the ribbonf-I5,lb1lt.thiker. The ribbon 6 is positioned beneath the ribbon .5
