Abstract: A fan body assembly having a housing assembly and an electric motor mounted to the housing is disclosed. The housing includes two grill members each having a vented wall and a peripheral side wall. The grill members are secured to one another by a fastener assembly which has a projection extending from the inner surface of one of the side walls which engages a mating receiver attached to the other sidewall. Spaced securing members are positioned from the inner surface of the first sidewall and include a sloped surface to guide the mating receiver into engagement with the projection. A lip extends from one of the sidewalls and mates with the inner surface of the other sidewall such that the sidewalls abut to form a substantially smooth transition. Unidirectional foot members are easily inserted into the base of the fan assembly to provide support.

Abstract: A heater element assembly for an electric heater, with a first and a second spaced element support. The first spaced element support has a peripheral edge surface and first and second slots extending inwardly from the edge surface, and an aperture therebetween; and a resistive heating element including first and second coiled sections and a connecting section disposed therebetween. The connecting section includes a mediate loop portion, wherein the first and second coiled sections are disposed between and engage the first and second spaced element supports. The connecting section extends through the slots, and the loop portion extends through the aperture, to secure the resistive heating element to the first element support.
