A method for manufacturing a flexible heating appliance comprises placing a heating circuit comprising at least one heating wire between two layers of textile material and combining the latter either directly or with the aid of an adhesive layer, by applying heat and pressure. A lower textile layer consisting of one or several sublayers is placed on the rigid surface of a nail-studded template and the heating circuit is then laid on the lower layer with its wire being guided about the nail ends protruding from that layer. A second, upper textile layer is then placed on top of the lower one and the heating circuit thereon, and the two layers are joined together by means of a superimposed ironing unit comprising a rigid heatable ironing plate and, on the underside of the latter, an elastic, temperaturestable, heat-conductive pressure plate which covers the remaining protruding ends of the nails, with heating of the ironing unit with pressure and thereby thermally combining the two textile layers. |
