Patent

CA 2141083

A housing (10) for use with an electrical heater (H) mounted on the sidewall (S) of a container (C) for heating a fluid (L) in the container. A heating element (R) is installed in a fitting (F), and the housing facilitates connection of electrical conductors (E) to the heater regardless of its location. A base (12) has an opening in which the fitting is received. The base is positioned against the sidewall when the heater is installed. A cover (36) is sized to fit over the base and attaches thereto. The base has an opening (22) therein through which the electrical conductor is routed for connection to an outer end of the heating element. A ring (28) is used to attach the heater to the base. The baseplate captures the one end of the fitting so the base is freely rotatable with respect thereto. Rotation of the base positions the cover so the conduit opening is readily accessible to an installer thereby to facilitate connection of the conduit to the heating element regardless of the heater location.

Boîtier (10) pour dispositif de chauffage électrique (H) monté sur la paroi latérale (S) d'un récipient (C), pour chauffer le fluide (L) qui s'y trouve. Un élément chauffant (R) est installé dans un raccord (F), alors que le boîtier facilite la connexion de conducteurs électriques (E) au dispositif de chauffage, peu importe où ce dernier se trouve. Une base (12) comporte un orifice engageant le raccord. La base est située contre la paroi latérale lorsque le dispositif de chauffage est installé. Un couvercle (36) est ajusté de manière à recouvrir la base, à laquelle il se fixe. La base comporte un orifice (22), dans lequel le conducteur électrique passe pour être connecté à l'extrémité extérieure de l'élément chauffant. Un anneau (28) sert à fixer le dispositif de chauffage à la base. La plaque de la base engage l'autre extrémité du raccord, de sorte que la base peut tourner librement. La rotation de la base permet de placer le couvercle de manière que l'orifice du conduit soit facilement accessible aux fins d'installation, ce qui facilite le raccordement du conduit à l'élément chauffant, peu importe où se trouve le dispositif de chauffage.
