Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 174 words
A net type heating device, comprising: first and second spaced common power source terminals, each of said terminals comprising a plurality of adjacent bendable wires; and a plurality of heater cords formed in a mesh-like arrangement disposed between said first and seond common power source terminals, said mesh-like arrangeament having a multiplicity of nodes a plurality of said heater cords meeting at each node, said nodes being in electrical contact with each other and with both of said common power source terminals, each of said heater cords comprising a heat-resistant nonconductive fiber and a bendable electrically conductive heating wire interwound with said nonconductive fiber, the heating wires of the heater cords meeting at each node being electrically connected to each other at the node where they meet, the heating wires of the heate cords adjacent each of said first and second common power source terminals being wound around each individual ones of the adjacent bendable wires of the corresponding one of said terminals, to electrically and mechanically secure said heater cords to said terminals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 174 words
A net type heating device, comprising: first and second spaced common power source terminals, each of said terminals comprising a plurality of adjacent bendable wires; and a plurality of heater cords formed in a mesh-like arrangement disposed between said first and seond common power source terminals, said mesh-like arrangeament having a multiplicity of nodes a plurality of said heater cords meeting at each node, said nodes being in electrical contact with each other and with both of said common power source terminals, each of said heater cords comprising a heat-resistant nonconductive fiber and a bendable electrically conductive heating wire interwound with said nonconductive fiber, the heating wires of the heater cords meeting at each node being electrically connected to each other at the node where they meet, the heating wires of the heate cords adjacent each of said first and second common power source terminals being wound around each individual ones of the adjacent bendable wires of the corresponding one of said terminals, to electrically and mechanically secure said heater cords to said terminals.
