Abstract:
An electrically heated catalyst device that can uniformly heat a catalyst via comb-shaped electrodes even when current is repeatedly made to flow through the electrodes. The device includes a carrier having a metal catalyst supported thereon, a pair of comb-shaped electrodes each having wire portions, a base layer between each comb-shaped electrode and the carrier, and a fixation layer for fixing each wire portion on the base layer. The fixation layer is rectangular in shape when the outer peripheral surface of the carrier is seen from a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the carrier along the longitudinal direction of the device. A pair of opposite first sides of the fixation layer are parallel with the extending direction of each wire portion on opposite sides thereof, and a pair of second sides coupling opposite ends of the first sides are orthogonal to the extending direction of each wire portion.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrically heated catalyst device, comprising:\n a carrier having a metal catalyst supported thereon; a pair of comb-shaped electrodes each including a proximal portion and a plurality of wire portions, the proximal portion extending along a longitudinal direction of the carrier, and the wire portions extending from the proximal portion along a circumferential direction of the carrier; a base layer formed on an outer peripheral surface of the carrier, the base layer being provided between each comb-shaped electrode and the carrier; and a fixation layer joined to the base layer so as to partially cover each wire portion, thereby fixing each wire portion on the base layer, wherein: the fixation layer is rectangular in shape when the outer peripheral surface of the carrier is seen from a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the carrier along the longitudinal direction, and a pair of opposite first sides of the rectangular fixation layer are parallel with an extending direction of each wire portion on opposite sides of the wire portion, and a pair of second sides coupling opposite ends of the pair of first sides are orthogonal to the extending direction of each wire portion.
