In a glue gun for conducting adhesive bonding by means of a heated adhesive, with a housing having a heating section and an angled handle, a hollow, thermally conductive block being arranged in the heating section for the accommodation of adhesive, the provision is made, to afford the possibility of using the glue gun independently of an external fuel supply, that a hollow combustion chamber provided with air inlet openings is fashioned integrally with the metal block; that a fuel tank is arranged in the handle; and that a connecting conduit is extended from the tank to the combustion chamber, a shutoff element being arranged in this connecting conduit, the combustion chamber in particular being disposed at least partially annularly around the block.

Glue gun

An electrical resistance water heating device, particularly intended for use in coffee or other beverage preparation machines, includes a solid metal heating plate having planar upper and lower surfaces. A fluid throughflow duct is formed between the upper and lower surfaces and includes at least two elongated, spaced, side-by-side branches having corresponding ends interconnected by a connecting conduit to form a continuous fluid flow path from a water inlet to a water outlet. An elongated slot is formed between each pair of side-by-side branches and at least one plate-shaped planar PTC heating element is accomodated within each elongated slot with each of the opposing surfaces thereof directed toward a respective one of the pair of side-by-side branches between which the duct is formed. The spaces between the heating element and walls of the slot are filled with a hardenable electrically insulative filling of good heat conductivity.

Electrical resistance water heating device, particularly for beverage

A combined water heating and vessel support plate for supporting the vessel of a beverage preparation device includes a heating slab having a water flow-through duct constituted by longitudinal apertures in a plurality of prismatic (preferably rectangular) heating-plate segments which are clamped together side-by-side with PTC ceramic electrical resistance heating elements interposed between them. The duct is completed by connecting the apertures externally by tubes or by duct-incorporating end caps on the heating plate to form a continuous flow path from an inlet to an outlet. Various clamping arrangements, preferably with some resilience, are described, as are the use of inter-segment filling materials and electrically insulating materials with good heat-conducting properties, also the selection and positioning of the heating elements to achieve a desired heating effect. The top surfaces of the segments are coplanar and form a flat vessel support surface for heating a vessel placed thereon.

Combined electric water heating and vessel support plate for a beverage

A heater element for an electrical appliance (especially one having a blower, such as a fan heater, hair drier or the like) consists of a resistance heating wire looped in linear formation (e.g. zig-zag) and held transversely of the air flow direction by at least one support plate disposed parallel to said direction. The element has a voltage tapping point at the tip of one of the loops which projects beyond the other loops and has its tip fixed to an insulating panel parallel to said support plate. Said tip may be riveted or secured by an eye in a recess in said insulating plate.
