Patent number: 8641413Abstract: A device for producing a stable and augmented flame includes a fluid-inducing assembly and a shield. The fluid-inducing assembly includes a flow-diverting mechanism defining a flow-intake end and a flow-accelerating end and includes a plurality of vanes extending from the flow-intake end to the flow-accelerating end. The plurality of vanes is circumferentially disposed and spaced from one another. Furthermore, two vanes include a space defined therebetween, and the space defines a passage which is spiral-shaped. The flow-diverting mechanism further includes a covering member with an enclosed circumferential edge circumferentially surrounded. Thus, each vane in the flow-accelerating end is encircled by the covering member, and each vane in the flow-intake end is exposed to outside and not covered by the covering member. In addition, the shield is hollow and is disposed above the fluid-inducing assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Pro-Iroda Industries, Inc.Inventors: Wei-Long Chen, Jan-Nan Chen

Publication number: 20130230816Abstract: A hot air blower includes a shell including a fan mechanism, a combustion device, a vane mechanism, and a flame protector disposed therein. The vane mechanism includes a clipping seat and a plurality of guiding vanes extended thereon. The plurality of guiding vanes extend obliquely and prevents the air passing through the vane mechanism from generating turbulence. The clipping seat and the flame protector form a half-closed combustion chamber therebetween. Heat in the half-closed combustion chamber causes a thermal expansion of the air and, thereby increasing a speed and a volume of the air passing the guiding vanes of the vane mechanism. The heated air is discharged from an external flow tube and which controls a heating range of an area of the hot air blower.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: Pro-Iroda Industries, Inc.Inventor: Wei-Long Chen
