Abstract
Abstract A sheath heater comprises a pipe having two open ends, a pair of electrical terminals connected to a heat radiant body in the pipe, a region of electrically insulating powder having a high melting point and loaded inside the pipe to fix the heat radiant body, and a sealing member for the open end having a glass compound layer formed by a molten glass permeating into the insulating powder region at the open end.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A sheath heater comprising a pipe having at least one open end, an electrically heat radiant body provided inside the pipe, an electrical terminal connected to the heat radiant body, a region of electrically insulating powder having a high melting point and loaded inside the pipe to fix the heat radiant body, a sealing member for said open end having a glass compound layer formed by a molten glass permeating into the insulating powder region at said open end, and a glass layer formed on the outer surface of the glass compound layer being thinner than the glass compound layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A sheath heater comprising a pipe having at least one open end, an electrically heat radiant body provided inside the pipe, an electrical terminal connected to the heat radiant body, a region of electrically insulating powder having a high melting point and loaded inside the pipe to fix the heat radiant body, a sealing member for said open end having a glass compound layer formed by a molten glass permeating into the insulating powder region at said open end, and a glass layer formed on the outer surface of the glass compound layer being thinner than the glass compound layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
