Heater and manufacturing method thereof

A heater includes a heating element made of a PTC thermistor, electrodes formed on upper and lower surfaces of the heating element, flat metallic terminals connected to the electrodes, lead wires connected to inner surfaces of the metallic terminals that face each other, and an insulating case for covering exposed portions of the heating element, electrodes, and of the metallic terminals, and the connections between the lead wires and the metallic terminals. With this structure, since no bumps are produced on the outer surfaces of the metallic terminals by connecting the lead wires to the metallic terminals, the thickness of the insulating case over the metallic terminals is reduced. This allows a reduction in the thickness of the heater and an improved heat transfer between the heating element and the heated object. A method of manufacturing the heater includes the steps of forming a heating unit by connecting the flat metallic terminals to the electrodes and connecting the lead wires to the metallic terminals, disposing the heating unit on a predetermined position of the base section of the insulating case, and sealing the exposed portions of the heating unit in the insulating case by injection-molding a cover section of the insulating case with insulating material after disposing the base section in a mold. This method enables the heating unit to be easily covered with the insulating case, thereby facilitating the manufacture of the heater.

Portable light

A switch device of the portable flashlight includes a casing, two bulbs built in the casing and a lighting circuit connected to the bulbs, and a switch mounted on the casing for turning on and off the lighting circuit. The switch device comprises members for operational part of a switch and having a turnable; contact members installed on the axis of the turnable; base-board for supporting the turnable; two contact members installed on the base-board for detachably engaging the first contact member; and recess formed with the casing to receive the base-board and having a hole through which the lighting circuit is connected with the above three contact member.

Flashlight

In a flashlight, the bulb is attached to a bulb-holding frame within the body of the flashlight instead of to the reflector. The bulb-holding frame has a mounting member with an inner diameter larger than the base of the bulb but smaller than a flange formed on the bulb. A locking hook extends from the mounting member and cooperates with a notch formed in flange so as to connect the bulb to the bulb-holding frame.
