Abstract

A holding device for a heating element and a heater with at least one such holding device. The holding device is produced from a refractory metal or from an alloy on the basis of refractory metal, has at least two holding elements which are arranged perpendicularly or at least substantially perpendicularly to each other. A first holding element is at least partially arranged in an opening of a second holding element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A holding device for a heating element, the holding device comprising:
a refractory metal or an alloy based on refractory metal;
at least two holding elements including a first holding element and a second holding element arranged perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to one another;
said first holding element being at least partially arranged in an opening formed in said second holding element; and
said first holding element includes a deformation fastening said first holding element to said second holding element.

2. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein said deformation is a cold deformation.

3. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second holding elements are not welded to each other.

4. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device is a current-conduction element.

5. The holding device according to claim 4 configured to form a current connection for a heating element that is fastenable to the holding device.

6. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of said holding elements is formed as a single part.

7. The holding device according to claim 6 , wherein said single part has a form selected from the group consisting of a bar, a square profile and a polygonal profile.

8. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein said first holding element is configured for fastening the holding device in a furnace chamber.

9. The holding device according to claim 1 , which further comprises a third holding element fastened to said second holding element.

10. The holding device according to claim 9 , wherein said second and third holding elements are connected to one another by way of a form-locking and/or force-fitting connection.

11. The holding device according to claim 10 , wherein said second and third holding elements are not connected to one another in an integrally bonded manner.

12. The holding device according to claim 9 , wherein said second holding element or said third holding element is configured to fasten a heating element suspended therefrom.

13. The holding device according to claim 12 , wherein said heating element suspended from said second or third holding element is at least one meshwork, at least one plate, and/or a multiplicity of wires.

14. The holding device according to claim 1 , formed of tungsten or of an alloy based on tungsten.

15. A heater, comprising:
at least one holding device according to claim 1 and at least one heating element connected to one other in a current-conductive manner.

16. The holding device according to claim 1 , wherein said first holding element is held on one side of said second holding element, said deformation of said first holding element is a portion of said first holding element that protrudes from an opposite side of said second holding element and that is cold-deformed to fasten said first holding element to said second holding element.

17. The holding device according to claim 1 , which further comprises a third holding element fastened to said second holding element, said third holding element configured to fasten a heating element suspended therefrom.
