  • Publication number: 20220410662
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating structure (30) intended in particular for installation inside a passenger compartment of a vehicle, this structure being in particular a radiant panel, the heating structure (30) comprising at least one resistive layer arranged to give off heat when an electric current flows through this layer (31), this structure further comprising an array of electrodes (32) comprising a plurality of contact electrodes (33) that are arranged so as to be in electrical contact with the resistive layer in order to make electric current flow through this resistive layer, at least two of these contact electrodes being in contact with a region of the resistive layer (31), these two contact electrodes facing one another such that electric current can flow from one of these electrodes to the other of the contact electrodes by passing through this region of the resistive layer, these two contact electrodes (33) on either side of said region taking a shape chosen such that the two electrodes get clo

  • Publication number: 20220263256
    Abstract: Metal electrical connector (1) for flexible electrically conductive strip (2) extending along a longitudinal axis (A), said conductive strip (2) comprising: —a flexible support layer (3) comprising a first face and a second face opposite the first face, and —a conductive path (4) arranged on the first face of the flexible support layer (3), said electrical connector (1) comprising: —a base (10) having a generally parallelepiped shape and configured to cover a portion of the conductive strip (2), said base (10) comprising at least one leading edge (101) intended to face the conductive strip (2) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A), —connecting teeth (12a, 12b) configured to pass through the conductive path (4) and the flexible support layer (3), —a connecting member (11) projecting from one of the edges of the base (10) other than the leading edge (101), the leading edge (101) of the base (10) having an inwardly curved profile over the width of the base (10).

  • Publication number: 20220063377
    Abstract: A heating structure (1) configured to be installed inside a passenger compartment of a vehicle is disclosed. The heating structure (1) includes at least one resistive layer arranged so as to release heat when an electric current passes through this layer (4), this panel further comprising an electrode array (5) comprising a plurality of contact electrodes (6) arranged so as to be in electrical contact with the resistive layer in order to allow electric current to flow through this resistive layer.
