In the construction of electric heating panels and the like the method which consists of the steps of impaling a sheet of asbestos or the like upon a set of spaced and pointed guide prongs projecting from a supporting surface therebelow, forming a wire electric heating pattern upon said sheet by stretching said wire between said prongs and bending it therearound, securing said electric heating pattern against movement on said asbestos sheet, disimpaling said sheet and pattern from said prongs and effecting a relative transfer of said sheet and pattern as between said supporting surface and a first cake of a suitable material so that said sheet and pattern is supported on said first cake, placing a second cake of suitable material upon said first cake so that said asbestos sheet and electric heating pattern is sandwiched between said cakes, and said cakes being forced together under pressure to effect the union thereof, a heat radiating surface pattern being impressed upon the outer surface of at least one of said cakes during the application of said pressure, said heat radiating pattern consisting of alternating recessed and relatively projecting areas, the troughs of said recessed areas immediately overlying the wire of said electric heating pattern so as to provide greater material density and heat dispersion with diminished thickness where they so overlie, said projecting areas providing a protecting surface of reduced density and increased thickness against foreign contact with said recessed areas.

Dependent Claim

In the construction of electric heating panels and the like, the method which consists of the steps of placing upon a first cake of a suitable material an electric heating pattern, then placing a second cake of suitable material upon the said first cake and said pattern so that said pattern is sandwiched between said cakes and forcing said cakes together under pressure to effect the union thereof, a heat radiating surface pattern being impressed upon the outer surface of at least one of said cakes during the application of said pressure, said heat radiating pattern consisting of alternating recessed and relatively projecting areas, the troughs of said recessed areas immediately overlying the wire of said electric heating pattern so as to provide greater material density and heat dispersion with diminished thickness where they so overlie, said projecting areas providing a protecting surface of reduced density and increased thickness against foreign contact with said recessed areas.

In the construction of electric heating panels and the like, the method which consists of the steps of placing upon a first cake of a suitable material an electric heating pattern, then placing a second cake of suitable material upon the said first cake and said pattern so that said pattern is sandwiched between said cakes and forcing said cakes together under pressure to effect the union thereof, a heat radiating surface pattern being impressed upon the outer surface of at least one of said cakes during the application of said pressure, said heat radiating pattern consisting of alternating recessed and relatively projecting areas, the troughs of said recessed areas immediately overlying the wire of said electric heating pattern so as to provide greater material density and heat dispersion with diminished thickness where they so overlie, said projecting areas providing a protecting surface of reduced density and increased thickness against foreign contact with said recessed areas.
