Abstract: A portable area heating apparatus that utilizes a heat lamp for the heat source and a rear-situated fan to disperse the heated air is herein disclosed. The apparatus is intended for use in spot heating applications such as garages, workshops, and similar locations and is suitable for mounting on a floor or wall by use of a multi-functional bracket assembly. Since the heat lamp also produces a certain amount of light, the apparatus may also be used as a light source. The apparatus could also be mounted within an existing ductwork system to supplement a conventional central heating system in areas where extra heat is needed.
