  • Publication number: 20030131985
    Abstract: A portable apparatus has a base section that includes a blower, and can be configured for heating or evaporative cooling. By attaching a heating attachment, a gas heating apparatus is provided, and there is no open and/or visible flame. The heating attachment can be replaced with an evaporative cooling attachment, so that evaporative cooling can be performed using the same base with the evaporative cooling attachment. A system of switching pulleys and/or belts to change blower speed, as well as a single switch that operates both devices, is also provided. Thus, a portable heating and evaporative cooling apparatus is provided that has a wide range of industrial application, and that overcomes the related art cost of separate heating and evaporative cooling apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 6227321
    Abstract: A front end assembly for a motor vehicle is provided including a U-shaped cross-car support member capable of being spot welded to a pair of cowl members and a pair of rail members. The U-shaped cross-car support member preferably comprises a hydroformed tube having a lower section disposed laterally with respect to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, a pair of upwardly projecting side sections extending essentially orthogonal to the lower section, and a pair of outwardly projecting end sections extending essentially orthogonal to the upright sections so as to be nearly parallel to the lower section. A cowl bracket is connected to each of the end sections and is spot welded to each of the cowl members. Similarly, a rail bracket is connected to each of the side sections and is spot welded to each of the rails. Advantageously, the ability to spot weld the cowl and rail brackets enables the U-shaped support member to be installed within the front end assembly in a high speed automated process.
