Abstract

Abstract An electrical heating envelope which includes a metallic layer interposed between a vessel, the contants of which are to be heated, and the heating elements which supply the thermal energy. The metallic layer will typically be comprised of non-magnetic material and a layer of resilient insulating material may be positioned between the plate and vessel.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 135 words
An electrical heating envelope for supporting and heating containers comprising: a thermally insulating housing; reentrant vessel receiving means disposed within said housing and supported thereby, said vessel receiving means including a first member comprised of a heat conductive metal which defines a recess shaped to receive a container to be heated; electrically energized heating means positioned within said housing in contact with a first surface of said first member, said heating means substantially conforming to said first surface, said heating means including a plurality of resistors enclosed in an electrically nonconductive envelope; and an inner member including a layer of thermal insulating fabric material interposed between the second surface of said receiving means first member and a container to be heated whereby containers to be heated are disposed in said recess on said fabric material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 135 words
An electrical heating envelope for supporting and heating containers comprising: a thermally insulating housing; reentrant vessel receiving means disposed within said housing and supported thereby, said vessel receiving means including a first member comprised of a heat conductive metal which defines a recess shaped to receive a container to be heated; electrically energized heating means positioned within said housing in contact with a first surface of said first member, said heating means substantially conforming to said first surface, said heating means including a plurality of resistors enclosed in an electrically nonconductive envelope; and an inner member including a layer of thermal insulating fabric material interposed between the second surface of said receiving means first member and a container to be heated whereby containers to be heated are disposed in said recess on said fabric material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said vessel receiving means first member is comprised of non-magnetic material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said heating means envelope comprises: thermal insulating fabric.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said housing and vessel receiVing means define a void therebetween and wherein said void is filled with a thermal insulating material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 17 words
The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said vessel receiving means first member is comprised of non-magnetic material.
