According to the invention of claim 3, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1 or claim 2, P
A cutout for preventing overcurrent is provided in a part of the electrode plate that holds the heating element consisting of the TC element. Therefore, when the overcurrent flows during the life of the heating element consisting of the PTC element, the cutout will melt. However, it is possible to prevent overcurrent.

Further, in the invention described in claim 4, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 or 2, P
Since an electrode plate holding a heating element composed of a TC element is connected to a section with a cutout for preventing overcurrent in a part of the electric circuit, an overcurrent flows during the life of the heating element composed of a PTC element. In this case, the cutout portion melts and the overcurrent can be prevented.
