  • Heating plate for heated clothing and connecting structure of the same
    Patent number: 9961723
    Abstract: This invention is related to a heating plate for a heated clothing and a connecting structure of the same. The heating plate comprises a heater strip which two ends are connected with two electric wires respectively, and each electric wire comprises sequentially a first right angle, a horizontal segment, a second right angle, and a vertical segment. The vertical segments of the electric wires go out from a covering piece which covers the heater strip and the electric wires. Therefore, when the electric wires of the heating plate are pulled, the pull strength is dispersed at the right-angle bend to be decreased, avoiding the heater strip moving. Furthermore, when the heating plate is set on the heated clothing, according to different size of the heated clothing, the length of an assembly electric wire is relative to the distance between the heating plates.
