  • Patent number: 8044327
    Abstract: Temperature sensor device inserted into a radiant heater (1) that incorporates at least one heating resistance (2) and is adapted to a glass ceramic cooking hob (4), comprising a film-type resistive sensor element (11) with metal wires (12) for its connection to terminals (18) and a support element (13) that passes through the radiant heater (1), at least in part. The sensor element (11) is inserted into the free end of said support element (13) so that the top and bottom faces are exposed in relation to said support element (13), and the sensor device also comprises an insulating element (14) disposed beneath the sensor element (11), separated from the support element (13) at least in the area in which the sensor device passes through the radiant heater (1).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6201220
    Abstract: The system for the attachment of a heating element in a electric cooking hob comprises a flat electrical element made of a thin resistance alloy strip, a horizontal porous insulating base (4) supporting the heating element (2) and a plurality of feet (3) for attachment to the base (4), which are inserted in said base (4) and hold vertical the element (2) in place. The heating element (2) is same width (w) throughout its length, and stands on the surface of the insulating base (4) without the need for a housing groove, and the fixing are flat feet (3) each one bent along their central vertical zone (3c) coinciding with the element (2) bending, to facilitate the secure attachment of the element (2).
