Abstract:
A heating conductor which is installable in a geometrical pattern into a radiant heating body of a cooking hob, said heating conductor being separated in the form or at least partial form of the geometrical pattern out of a metal foil so as to constitute heating limbs (1); stabilization limbs (5) being formed in the plane of the geometrical pattern, said stabilization limbs (5) each having a width which is less than the width of the heating limbs (1) so that the stabilizing limbs (5) are burnt-through upon the application of an electrical voltage which is harmless to the heating limbs (1), said metal foil having a thickness of about between 0.05 to 0.1 mm at a diameter of about 100 to 300 mm of an essentially circular geometrical pattern, each two adjacent said heating limbs (1) being connected to holding tongues (2, 3) or connecting limbs (7, 8), said stabilization limbs (5) being arranged between, respectively, adjacent said holding tongues (2, 3) or connecting limbs (7, 8) where in, said heating conductor possesses current connections (4) which are wider than the heating limbs (1), and at least one said stabilization limb (5) is located between the current connections (4).
