Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tape heater for keeping warm or heating an object by deforming its shape to conform to contours of the object, which comprises: a heating element; and an outer covering member that envelops and accommodates the heating element and that is composed of a porous sheet made of a resin which has a melting point of 300° C. or higher. Provided is a tape heater that deforms to conform to the contours of an object to be kept warm or the like after being placed on the object and changes its shape that has been deformed as little as possible.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A tape heater that deforms a shape thereof to conform to contours of an object and keeps warm or heats the object, which comprises: a heating element; and an outer covering member that envelops and accommodates the heating element and that is composed of a porous sheet made of a resin material having a melting point of 300° C. or higher. 2 . The tape heater according to claim 1 , wherein the porous sheet is formed by stretching a resin sheet to form a plurality of pores. 3 . The tape heater according to claim 1 , wherein the porous sheet is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. 4 . The tape heater according to claim 1 , wherein a metal thin film is further included between the heating element and the porous sheet. 5 . The tape heater according to claim 4 , wherein the metal thin film is provided between an object provision side of the heating element and the porous sheet, and between a side opposite to the object provision side of the heating element and the porous sheet. 6 . The tape heater according to claim 1 , wherein, when provided on the object to conform to the contours of the object to be kept warm or heated, a shape of the outer covering member that has been deformed to conform to the contours of the object, is retained by heat generated by the heating element. 7 . A heating system comprising: a tape heater that comprises a heating element and an outer covering member that envelops and accommodates the heating element and that is composed of a porous sheet made of a resin material having a melting point of 300° C. or higher, and an object that is kept warm and heated by the tape heater, wherein the tape heater is provided such that, after being provided on the object to conform to contours of the object, a shape of the outer covering member, that has been deformed to conform to the contours of the object, is retained by heat generated by the heating element provided in the tape heater.
