Abstract: An apparatus for applying masking tape to a surface is provided that includes an upper portion and a bottom portion attached to the lower portion, where the upper portion includes a pair of opposing edges separated by a top surface having a basin therein for receiving a placement pad, and a side surface having an inner plank and an outer guide plate, the lower portion includes a masking tape mount oriented relative to surfaces of the opposing edges and top for tape to be passed in a sliding arrangement from the tape mount and along the surfaces of the opposing edges and top.

Abstract: A radiant electric heater having a dish-like support having a base layer of thermal insulation material. At least one heating element is supported relative to the base layer. A temperature-responsive device having a rod-like component is secured at one end at a peripheral region of the dish-like support and extends without support partly across the heater over the at least one heating element. A supporting member is provided at a free end region of the rod-like component. The supporting member comprises a central portion with a hoop at a first end to receive the free end of the rod-like component and a foot at a second end, the foot being bent at an angle relative to the central portion. A base of the dish-like support is provided with a loop of material extending internally of the dish-like support so as to provide an opening between the base of the dish-like support and the loop, the foot of the supporting member being received through the opening.
