Abstract:
A device includes a power source, at least one exhaust gas purification member having an upstream face and a downstream face, and a heating member placed in front of and at a distance from the upstream or downstream face. The heating member comprises a frame and a plurality of elongate heating elements surrounded by a peripheral part of the frame. Each heating element has first and second ends, with at least one of the first and second ends being electrically connected to the power source with the other end being connected to the frame. Each heating element is, between the first and second ends, connected only to at least one other of the heating elements. The heating elements are in contact with one another by respective points of contact, two points of contact of two different heating elements in contact with one another being at the same electric potential.

Claim (Index 7):
The device according to  claim 1 , comprising at least first and second layers of elongate heating elements, each elongate heating element being rigidly fastened by the first end to the peripheral part, the elongate heating elements of the first layer and the elongate heating elements of the second layer being electrically connected to one another by respective second ends, second ends being situated in a central zone of the frame, and wherein the peripheral part of the frame comprises a first electric distributor extending around the elongate heating elements, and a second electric distributor extending around the elongate heating elements, the elongate heating elements of the first layer being electrically connected by respective first ends to the first electric distributor, the elongate heating elements of the second layer being electrically connected by respective first ends to the second electric distributor.
