Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure refers to an electrical heating device comprising a heating rod, and heat sinks which are held between opposing flanges of the heating rod. The heat sinks are clamped by the flanges pressing laterally against the heat sinks.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . Electrical heating device, comprising: a heating rod; and heat sinks which are held between opposing flanges of the heating rod; wherein the heat sinks are clamped by the flanges pressing laterally against the heat sinks. 2 . Electrical heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat sinks are formed from corrugated sheet metal. 3 . Electrical heating device according to claim 2 , wherein the flanges press against narrow sides of the sheet metal. 4 . Electrical heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating rod is covered between the flanges with a filler material thermally connecting the heat sinks to the heating rod. 5 . Electrical heating device according to claim 4 , wherein the filler material is an adhesive or a heat sink paste. 6 . Electrical heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat sinks are plastically deformed by the flanges pressing against them. 7 . Electrical heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the flanges engage indentions of the heat sinks. 8 . Electrical heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the flanges press laterally against the heat sinks substantially along the entire length of the heat sinks. 9 . Electrical heating device according to claim 1 , wherein heat sinks have indentions caused by the flanges pressing against the heat sinks. 10 . Electrical heating device according claim 1 , wherein several heating rods are arranged side by side with heat sinks between the heating rods.
