Abstract: An improved heating apparatus for heating a small room or confined space has an electric heater element affixed to a mounting frame assembly by means of notched heater element supports. The notched heater element supports are operably disposed within slots located around the periphery of the mounting frame assembly. When the heater element is strung through the supports, and stretched therebetween, the supports are biased into a locked position. Cool air is drawn through louvers located in the side panels of the upper housing portion and blown through the mounting frame assembly by a fan located at the rear of the apparatus housing. The cool air is warmed by the heater element and warm air is blown through a front grill attached to the front panel of the apparatus housing.
Abstract: A ceiling mounted forced circulation electric air heater has a housing comprising upper and lower housing members fastenable together at a plurality of tangentially abutting, convex dome-like bosses integrally formed on the housing members. The housing supports a fan and an electric heating element. The housing members define therebetween a circumferentially extending air flow passage providing wide distribution of the air directed through the housing by the fan and heated by the heating element. The bosses provide secure, permanently aligned mating points for the housing members. The housing includes a cover securable to the lower housing member.
