Abstract: A stator of an electric motor comprises a pole chain, which is made of a stack of a plurality of straight transformer sheets and rounded to a circular configuration by bending the stacked transformer sheets, wherein the pole chain has a plurality of pole portions each comprising a pole tooth; a plurality of winding cores attached to the respective pole teeth for accommodating coils of a three-phase winding comprising wires; wherein the wires of respective phases of the three-phase winding are routed spatially separated from each other and without mutual contact at an axial end surface of the pole chain between and along adjacent winding cores around the pole chain; and wherein the wires are supported and guided such that their positions relative to the pole chain are substantially maintained when the pole chain is rounded from its straight configuration to its circular configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a terminal device for connecting a heating apparatus with an electricity supply, in particular for a tubular heating apparatus for household appliances, wherein the heating apparatus includes at least one electric resistance heating element. The terminal device comprises a mounting and reception section arranged for being electrically connected with the electric resistance heating element of the heating apparatus, a connector section arranged for being electrically connected on its one end side with an electrical power supply and on its other end side with the mounting and reception section, and a thermal fuse unit for detecting an excess temperature of the heating apparatus, which is in heat transfer contact with at least the mounting and reception section and which is connected in the electric supply circuit for supplying the electric resistance heating element of the heating apparatus with electricity.
