Abstract
A device includes at least a first electrically conductive contact plate, at least a second electrically conductive contact plate and a plurality of heating elements connected electrically in parallel. Each of the plurality of heating elements includes at least one resistance heating unit, respectively. Each of the heating elements is connected by means of a first connecting contact to the heating elements is connected by means of a first connecting contact to the first contact plate and by means of a second connecting contact to the second contact plate, in which both contact plates lie in a common first plane. The resistance heating units are arranged along a spiral or arched line around a center of the device. To expand the service life of the device at reduced manufacturing costs, a plurality of heating units are arranged consecutively or nested with each other along the ached or spiral line, and both the first and second contact plates comprise interlocking comb-like contact extensions.
