Abstract
Abstract A flexible panel-type heating unit in the form of a sealed integral assembly comprising an electrically resistive paper or felt-like porous board having at least one pair of electrodes contacting at its opposite ends. The resistive board and electrodes are sandwiched and sealed by layers of paper or cloth sheets impregnated with a synthetic resin. This new panel-type flexible heating unit has a stable electrical resistance, generates heat uniformly at the entire portions at a desired temperature, automatically maintains the given temperature, allows heating of not only planar but also curved surfaces, and eliminates the provision of temperature-controlling means such as thermostat.
