HEATER INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF HEAT GENERATION MEMBERS, FIXING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456569 titled 'HEATER INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF HEAT GENERATION MEMBERS, FIXING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a heater design that includes multiple heat generation members arranged on a substrate. The first heat generation member, second heat generation member, third heat generation member, and fourth heat generation member are all positioned on the substrate.

  • The heater design includes a substrate and multiple heat generation members.
  • The first and second heat generation members have the same length in the longitudinal direction.
  • The third and fourth heat generation members have shorter lengths compared to the first and second heat generation members.
  • All heat generation members are arranged on the substrate.

Potential Applications

This heater design could have various applications in different industries, including:

  • Heating systems for residential and commercial buildings.
  • Industrial heating processes.
  • Automotive heating systems.
  • Medical devices requiring controlled heating.

Problems Solved

The heater design addresses several challenges in heating systems, such as:

  • Efficient heat distribution.
  • Space limitations for installation.
  • Temperature control and regulation.
  • Uniform heating across the substrate.

Benefits

The proposed heater design offers several advantages:

  • Improved heat distribution due to the arrangement of multiple heat generation members.
  • Flexibility in installation due to the compact size and arrangement on the substrate.
  • Enhanced temperature control and regulation.
  • Uniform heating across the substrate, reducing hotspots and cold spots.


Original Abstract Submitted

The heater including a substrate, a first heat generation member, a second heat generation member having a length substantially a same in a longitudinal direction as a length of the first heat generation member, a third heat generation member having a length shorter than lengths of the first heat generation member and the second heat generation member in the longitudinal direction, and a fourth heat generation member having a length shorter than length of the third heat generation member in the longitudinal direction, wherein the first heat generation member, the second heat generation member, the third heat generation member and the fourth heat generation member are arranged on the substrate.
