HEAT DISPERSING ELEMENT
A heat dispersing element for a standard propane torch head for the generation of silent heat. This heat dispersing element attaches directly to the head of a propane torch and operates silently. The heat dispersing element accepts the heat of the torch and silently disperses the heat through the burn plate and directs it outward silently. This is done through a series of openings.
The applicant is unaware of any prior art concerning the present device. The heat dispersing element attaches to a standard propane torch head to produce noiseless heat generation. There are many portable propane heaters available as heaters. However, there are not any heat dispersing elements that are attachable to a standard propane torch head that provide noiseless heat.
THE INVENTIONThe present invention is a heat dispersing element providing essentially no noise or light while operating. The heat dispersing unit is comprised of a main housing comprising a flat top, a flat bottom, a front, a back and two side panels, wherein the back is shorter in length than the front. The front has an inside flat surface. The front has a multiplicity of small through holes therein.
The back has a first single through hole therein essentially centered in the back. The single through hole has fixedly surmounted thereover a segment of metal stock that has a second single through hole. The first single through hole and the second single through hole are aligned with each other. The second through hole is internally threaded.
The segment of metal stock that has an internally threaded second opening in a side is to accommodate a set screw.
There is a single plate that has a series of small through holes therein wherein the through holes are less in number than the number of through holes in the front. The single plate has two ends. The single plate is bent in the center thereof between the two ends such that the center is out of line with the two ends.
The single plate is fixedly attached by the ends to the inside surface of the front such that the out of line portion extends towards the back of the main housing.
The 2nd and 3rd row holes 20 are spaced perpendicular with center row holes 20 but are spaced, for example, 5/16 inch to each side of the center and the holes 20 are drilled in an offset pattern from the center line holes 20 with the 2nd and 3rd rows containing only 6 holes per line.
The opening through the center of the back 22 that is threaded 26 attaches to the main housing 4. This embodiment is threaded, however, it should be understood that this attachment in other embodiments can be welded. The other opening 24 has a set screw 30 to tighten the heat dispersing element 2 to the propane torch 40.
Claims
1. A heat dispersing element providing essentially no noise or light while operating, said heat dispersing element comprising:
- a main housing comprising a flat top, a flat bottom, a front, a back and two side panels, wherein the back is shorter in length than the front, said front having an inside flat surface;
- said front having a multiplicity of small through holes therein;
- said back having a first single through hole therein essentially centered in said back;
- said single through hole having fixedly surmounted thereover a segment of metal stock having a second single through hole, the first single through hole and the second single through hole being aligned with each other, said second through hole being internally threaded;
- said segment of metal stock having an internally threaded second opening in a side thereof to accommodate a set screw;
- a single plate having a series of small through holes therein wherein the through holes are less in number than the number of through holes in said front;
- said single plate having two ends, said single plate being bent in a center thereof between said two ends such that the center is higher than the two ends;
- said single plate being fixedly attached by said ends to said inside surface of said front such that said higher center extends towards said back of said main housing.
2. A heat dispersing element as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat dispersing element has a base for the propane tank.
3. A heat dispersing element as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat dispersing element has a heat guard.
