  • Publication number: 20180352610
    Abstract: An internal structure for an electrical heating device includes an electrical heating element. The internal structure includes a connection section for holding an end section of the electrical heating element or a connecting wire, with which one of the two end sections is connected. A turnaround section is positioned opposite the connection section. A spacer runs between the connection section and the turnaround section and is topped by the turnaround section in a radial direction relative to the profile of the spacer. The turnaround section has, for a turned-around electrical heating element or for a turned-around connecting wire in the area topping the spacer, a connecting bar by means of which the electrical heating element or the connecting wire is guided and thus turned around, with this connecting wire being connected to an end section.
