Patent number: 11654672Abstract: A device that is a handheld circular heating element for use in the construction industry is described. Specifically the device is useful for applying heat uniformly to a two-piece membrane for separation of the outer layer to allow the inner layer to be exposed. The device includes a handle, an electrical supply, an on/off switch and a heating element. The device uses electricity to heat the heat-emitting burner of the heating element, which is then placed next to the membrane. As the membrane is warmed, the two layers of the membrane are able to be separated, which exposes the inner membrane.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Carlton Moug, Paul Edwin Boney, Arthur Ralph Gardner, Christopher Joseph Bueno, Jose Arturo Bueno
