Abstract:
1. A heating device, for arrangement at an object to be heated, the heating device comprising: an inner jacket surface; an outer jacket surface; a heating element; a thermocouple having at least one positioning section, in which a cross section of the thermocouple deviates, in at least one direction of a cross-sectional area of the thermocouple, from another cross section of another section of the thermocouple and said cross section of said thermocouple deviates in another direction of said cross-sectional area of the thermocouple from yet another cross section of yet another section of the thermocouple, said positioning section comprising a sleeve connected to said thermocouple, said another section and said yet another section being located adjacent to said sleeve, wherein said another section is located on one side of said sleeve and said yet another section being located on another side of said sleeve, wherein said thermocouple has different diameters, said inner jacket surface and said outer jacket surface defining a heating device interior space, said heating element being arranged in said heating device interior space, wherein said heating element is located between said inner jacket surface and said outer jacket surface; and at least one locking means for locking said at least one positioning section against one or more of a displacement of said at least one positioning section in a direction in which said thermocouple extends and a displacement of said at least one positioning section opposite to the direction in which said thermocouple extends, wherein said locking means comprises a projection of said inner jacket surface, said projection having a portion extending radially in a direction of said thermocouple with respect to a longitudinal axis of said thermocouple, wherein said portion of said projection is located axially adjacent to said sleeve with respect to said longitudinal axis of said thermocouple.
