摘要:
Thermal controls for electric kettles and the like commonly have a bimetallic switch-operating element (108) juxtaposed in heat transfer relationship with the heating element (222) of the kettle, and a heat sink compound in grease or paste form is commonly introduced between the bimetallic element and the heating element. The heat sink compound is relatively costly and is messy and difficult to apply with precision in an automatic manufacturing process. To overcome these problems which have plagued the industry for many years, the present invention proposes to use a pad or patch of self-adhesive heat transfer tape (130) rather than the heat sink compound, such heat transfer tapes previously having been used only in the electronics industry for heat sinking of power transistors and the like.
摘要:
Arrangements for the attachment of element overtemperature protection controls and appliance connector inlet parts to planar electric heating elements are described. The heating element has attachment studs integrally formed on its underside which are designed to be peened over, in the manner of a rivet, to secure a mounting bracket to the element, and the control and the appliance connector inlet part are affixed to the bracket. Redundant studs are provided on the heating element to enable a defective control to be replaced without need to discard the heating element. Mounting brackets which provide compliance in the positioning of the appliance connector inlet part are described, these being advantageous in permitting tolerances encountered in the manufacture of electric water heating vessels to which the subject elements are to be applied to be accommodated.
摘要:
A cordless electrical appliance such as an electrical kettle has an element protection control combined with an appliance connector inlet part of the cordless connection system of the appliance, the element protection control and the appliance connector inlet part being separate items which plug into each other by way of connections providing for a degree of flexibility as regards the relative positions of the parts when they are plugged into each other. By virtue of this arrangement manufacturing tolerances in electrical appliances to which the subject combination is to be fitted can readily be accommodated.
