Abstract: The present invention discloses a reflection heating fan comprising at least one fan rotating over a main axle, at least one heating element and at least one reflector, said heating element and reflector are continuing from said main axle, wherein said heating element indirectly heats an air stream by reflecting heat produced by a heating element into the air stream produced by said fan. The present invention also discloses a method of indirectly heating a stream of air, comprising applying energy to a heat emitting element incorporated into a bi-functional rotation axle, reflecting said energy by means of a reflective surface into an air stream produced by applying rotation to a bladed fan structure, achieved by transferring the power from a motor through the bi-functional axle to at least one bladed fan structure.

Abstract: A pumped drainage apparatus for a shower includes a waste water unit, a waste water inlet for accepting waste water runoff from a shower, a waste water outlet in fluid communication with the waste water inlet, a pump in fluid communication with the waste water unit, a sensing circuit including one or more sensors for sensing waste water, and a control circuit for controlling and varying a flow rate of the pump based on an output of the sensing circuit. The sensors may be isolated to prevent contact with waste water while the apparatus is in use. A variable flow control device for the pumped drainage apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glove compartment for a motor vehicle, comprising a first storage compartment (106), separate from a second storage compartment (108), and a first cover (110) for covering the first storage compartment and a second cover (114) for covering the second storage compartment, the first cover being configured in such a manner as to conceal a joint (121) between the first and the second cover.
