HEATING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036501 titled 'HEATING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a heating apparatus that consists of a heater, a holding member, and a heat equalization member. The heat equalization member is positioned between the heater and the holding member in the thickness direction. It includes abutment regions that come into contact with the heater and a non-abutment region that does not touch the heater.

  • The heating apparatus includes a heater, holding member, and heat equalization member.
  • The heat equalization member is positioned between the heater and holding member in the thickness direction.
  • The heat equalization member has abutment regions that come into contact with the heater.
  • The heat equalization member also has a non-abutment region that does not touch the heater.
  • The abutment regions, non-abutment region, and heater are arranged in a specific order along the longitudinal direction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Heating systems for various devices and appliances.
  • Thermal management in electronic devices.
  • Industrial heating processes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Uneven heat distribution in heating systems.
  • Thermal damage to sensitive components.
  • Inefficient heat transfer.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved heat distribution and equalization.
  • Enhanced thermal efficiency.
  • Protection of sensitive components from excessive heat.


Original Abstract Submitted

a heating apparatus includes a heater, a holding member, and a heat equalization member. in a case where a direction of a long side of a first surface of the heater is defined as a longitudinal direction, a direction of the first surface perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is defined as a transverse direction, and a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is defined as a thickness direction, the heat equalization member is between the heater and the holding member in the thickness direction and includes, in the longitudinal direction, first and second abutment regions that abut against the heater and a first non-abutment region that does not abut against the heater. the first abutment region, the first non-abutment region, and the second abutment region are arranged in this order as viewed from one end toward another end of the heater in the longitudinal direction.
