  • Patent number: 4703152
    Abstract: A portable electric heater/fan which can oscillate from side to side over a distance of 45 degrees or 90 degrees or remain stationary and which can also be tilted backward or forward so as to provide a beam of hot or cold air whose lateral extent and direction can be adjusted over two mutually perpendicular axes includes a compartment containing a heater/fan assembly and being slidably mounted for back and forth tilting movement on a neck joint fixed to a main gear carried by a shaft mounted for rotation about a vertical axis on a base. The main gear is coupled by a drive gear to the shaft of a synchronous electric motor mounted on the base. A first and a second set of cooperable limit stops are provided on the base and main gear for limiting the rotation of the main gear by the motor to either 90 degrees for the first set or 45 degrees for the second set.
