Abstract
An attaching or mounting tool (21) is used for fixing a heating coil (16) to an insulating material support (13). The heating coil (16) is inserted in slots (24) therein and are held in place by magnetic force. Resilient positioning devices (28) are provided in openings (26) in the tool (21) and into the same can be introduced the nose (36) of a clip fitting device (24), so that the heating coils can be fixed to the support (13) by means of clips.
Claims18
Method for fixing at least one heating resistor to a support, made from heat resistant insulating material, by means of clips driven in to the support by means of a mechanical clip fitting device comprising the steps of:
- detachably fitting the heating resistor to the heating resistor guidance means of an attaching tool in a desired configuration,
- positioning the heating resistor together with the attaching tool relative to a surface of the support,
- fitting the clips to the support and then
- removing the attaching tool from the support, the heating resistor also being removed from the attaching tool.
Apparatus for fixing at least one heating resistor to a support made from heat resistant insulating material by means of clips driven into the support by a mechanical clip fitting device, comprising an attaching tool for positioning the clip relative to the heating resistor, the attaching tool having heating resistor guidance means in the form of grooves for the detachable fitting of the heating resistor in its desired configuration to said tool.
