Abstract
The invention is directed to a device for heating lock elements in aircraft, in particular to prevent icing up of door locks and emergency slide locks. The object of the invention, to find a novel possibility for heating lock elements in aircraft, particularly for preventing icing of door locks and emergency slide locks, which reliably eliminates icing of the lock elements without requiring frequent maintenance and repair due to high mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses, is met according to the invention in that a base body which is mounted in the floor of the aircraft and contains an insert profile has an integrated, inserted sliding plate and in that the sliding plate is hollowed out from the bottom over a large surface to receive a heating foil, wherein the heating foil is embedded in the hollowed out recess in a sandwich-type construction, and the sliding plate is hermetically sealed from the bottom.
