Abstract
Abstract A heating assembly having a protector for its sheet-type heating element, which is made from a sheet containing certain electroconductive fibrous or particulate materials such as carbon fibers. A detector element is formed on an intermediate resin layer having a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity, and two electrode layers are adhered to the opposite surfaces of the intermediate layer. The detector element is combined with or adhered to the sheet-type heating element, so that the whole surface of the heating element is completely covered thereby. A controlling circuit is connected between the detector element and the sheet type heating element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A sheet type heating assembly having a broad surface area and comprising: a protecting device composed of an intermediate resin layer having a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity and two plate shaped electrodes adhered to opposite surfaces of the intermediate layer; a sheet type heating element comprising an indefinite number of discontinuous conductive materials forming a multiple network circuit, the protecting device being combined with the heating element completely by an insulating binder; and a temperature controlling circuit connected between said electrodes and said heating element for controlling the application of electric power to said heating element to maintain the temperature of said broad surface below a predetermined value.
