  • Patent number: 12215873
    Abstract: An electric heater includes a substrate; and a first plane heating element disposed on one surface of the substrate, in which the first plane heating element includes a first track; a second track spaced apart from the first track; and a third track spaced apart from the second track. At least a portion of the second track is located between the first track and the third track, and the first track and the second track are connected by a first bridge, where the first bridge includes a first outer protrusion protruding toward the third track. The third track is formed with a curved portion which protrudes in an outward direction, and the first outer protrusion faces an inside of the curved portion in the outward direction and is spaced apart from the curved portion.

  • Patent number: 12144070
    Abstract: An electric heater includes a substrate and an inner plane heating element formed on one surface of the substrate. The inner plane heating element includes an inner pattern portion connecting a start point with an end point. The inner pattern portion includes a first track, a second track located outside the first track and spaced part from the first track, a first bridge connecting the first track with one end of the second track, a third track located outside the second track and spaced apart from the second track, and a second bridge connecting the other end of the second track with the third track. A first gap G1 between the first and second tracks is shorter than a second gap G2 between the second and third tracks along a virtual line crossing the first, second and third tracks and closer to the first bridge than the second bridge.
