Abstract
Clothes- and linen-warming or dehumidification apparatus (5) includes resistive means (25) for producing heat by the Joule effect and an electrically- insulating and thermally-conducting container (20) containing the resistive means (25) including at least one layer of resistive material arranged in track form, with the at least one layer (25) of resistive material having a non-homogeneous distribution such that it produces less heat in a central region of the apparatus (5).
Claims19
Clothes and linen warming or dehumidification apparatus (5) comprising:
- resistive means (25) for producing heat by the Joule effect;
- and
- an electrically-insulating and heat-conducting container (20) enclosing the resistive means (25) wherein the resistive means (25) include at least one layer of resistive material distributed on an electrically-insulating substrate (50), the at least one layer being disposed in track form and in which the at least one layer (25) of resistive material has a non-homogeneous distribution such that it produces less heat in a central region of the apparatus (5).
Clothes and linen warming or dehumidification apparatus (5) comprising:
- resistive means (25) for producing heat by the Joule effect;
- and
- an electrically-insulating and heat-conducting container (20) enclosing the resistive means (25) wherein the resistive means (25) include at least one layer of resistive material distributed on an electrically-insulating substrate (50), the at least one layer being disposed in track form, wherein the apparatus (5) further comprises a substantially hermetically sealable device (30) for connecting the resistive means (25) to an electrical mains supply, in which the device (30) includes a first half-shell (51) and a second half-shell (52) connected to one another releasably through a through-hole (60) formed in the container (20), and a first seal (66) and a second seal (67) which are compressed between the container (20), and the first and the second half-shell (51, 52), respectively.
Clothes and linen warming or dehumidification apparatus (5) comprising:
- resistive means (25) for producing heat by the Joule effect;
- and
- an electrically-insulating and heat-conducting container (20) enclosing the resistive means (25) wherein the resistive means (25) include at least one layer of resistive material distributed on an electrically-insulating substrate (50), the at least one layer being disposed in track form and in which the at least one layer (25) of resistive material has a non-homogeneous distribution such that it produces less heat in an upper region of the apparatus (5) when the apparatus (5) is arranged in a vertical position.
Method for manufacturing a clothes and linen-warming or dehumidification apparatus (5) comprising the steps of:
- a) providing resistive means (25) for producing heat by the Joule effect;
- b) enclosing the resistive means (25) into an electrically-insulating and heat-conducting container (20), wherein the providing step a) includes distributing at least one layer of resistive material on an electrically-insulating substrate (50), the at least one layer being disposed in track form and in which the at least one layer (25) of resistive material has a non-homogeneous distribution such that it produces less heat in a central region of the apparatus (5).
