Abstract
The invention relates to a frame (3) for an electric heating device (1), comprising at least one housing (7) intended to receive a heating element (5), said housing being defined by a plurality of longitudinal walls (23, 25) forming an insertion path for a heating element, and said insertion path being defined longitudinally by a back wall extending opposite an opening through which the heating element can be inserted into the housing. According to the invention, at least one of the longitudinal walls comprises a displacement reducing element (10) projecting from the wall. The displacement reducing element (10) comprises a ramp (11) that slopes gradually into the housing, towards the opposite longitudinal wall, said displacement reducing element (10) being arranged such that the downstream end (14, 15) thereof extends at a distance from the back wall (21).
