Heating panel assembly with improved electrical connection means

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An electrical heating panel assembly includes a thin planar panel with a length of electrical resistance wire embedded therewithin and a pair of cold leads projecting from an edge surface. An insulated multiple conductor power line extends along the panel edge surface and has a portion of its outer insulation removed. The cold leads are connected respectively with power line conductors at the insulation free portion of the power line. A U-shaped closure member may be hinged or fixed and has thin flat leg portions which embrace the panel side surfaces adjacent the edge surface. A body portion of the closure member is spaced from the edge surface of the panel to define an open end tubular …
