Abstract
Abstract An electrical heating unit including a plate or panel of a glassy material having in intimate physical contact with a surface of the plate, in a selected area of the plate surface, a 240 volt heating element comprising a pair of electrical resistance conductors extending in sinuous parallel paths over the contacted area of the panel surface, and circuit means for normally connecting the conductors across opposite terminals of a 240 volt source of electrical energy with a single set of temperature responsive contacts included in the circuit means for interrupting electrical energy to the conductors when the temperature of the heating unit reaches a preselected maximum temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
An electrical heating unit comprising; A. a panel of a glassy material, B. a 240 volt heating element including a pair of first and second electrical resistance conductors in physical contact with a surface of said panel in a selected area of such panel and extending over such surface in first and second sinuous paths paralleling each other throughout the lengths thereof, C. first circuit means including a single set of normally closed and thermally actuated contacts for connecting first adjacent ends of said conductors with each other, and D. second circuit means for connecting the second adjacent ends of said first and second conductors with first and second opposite terminals, respectively, of a commercial 240 volt source of alternating current.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
