Abstract
In the production of spiral-shaped heating elements, a device winds an oblong base material onto a mandrel while forming a spiral with the base material and equips the ends of the spiral with contacts for electrical connection. The device includes a feeding device for supplying the mandrel, onto whose casing surface the base material is wound in a spiral shape, with the oblong base material. In order to carry out a method for the production of a spiral-shaped heating element made of material containing carbon fibers, the method is as follows: utilize a base material that comprises carbon fibers which have been embedded into IBM a thermoplastic embedding compound, heat the base material to a temperature at which the embedding compound softens, wind the softened base material onto the mandrel while forming the spiral, and set the spiral shape by removing the embedding compound. On the device used to carry out the method, there is included a heating device which affects the base material in the area of the casing surface of the mandrel and can be adjusted to a temperature above the softening temperature of the embedding compound. The invented heating element, which distinguished itself due to its low thermal inertia and high radiation capacity at comparatively low temperatures, is formed in the shape of a spiral having a series of carbon fibers that are connected with each other.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
