DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 of the drawings, a heating apparatus in accordance with the invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 10, is shown.

The heating apparatus 10 includes

    • (a) a housing frame 12 consisting of conduits for containing gas and/or liquid fuel,
    • (b) supporting means 14 for supporting an object 16 to be heated;
    • (c) burning means 18 for heating the object 16 supported on the supporting means 14;
    • (d) inlet means 20 for supplying gas and/or liquid fuel to the burning means 18; and
    • (e) valve means 22 associated with the inlet means 20, and which is adapted to close off the inlet means 20 if the supporting means 14 is not substantially horizontal.

Either the inlet means 20 or the housing frame 12 are removably connected to a gas and/or liquid fuel container (not shown). The fuel is mainly paraffin.

The object 16 to be heated can be a cooking pot, other cooking container or utensil and/or food.

The heating apparatus 10 is also transportable, portable and disposable.

The valve means may be integrated into the inlet means.

The conduits of the housing frame include 16 mm class II piping.

The inlet means 22 is integrated into the housing frame 12.

The inlet means 22 includes a master valve (not shown) for manually closing off fuel flow to the burning means 18.

The heating apparatus 10 generally intended for domestic use and aims to reduce the danger of fires, in that the inlet means 20 are closed-off by means of the valve means 22 should the heating apparatus 10 is tilted and whereby the object 16 can fall as it is not located on a substantially horizontal supporting means 14.

Thus the heating apparatus 10 provides means for heating an object with the following steps

    • (a) of supporting the object 16 to be heated on the supporting means 14;
    • (b) of opening the inlet means 20 for supplying the gas or liquid fuel to the burning means 18 by valve means 22 only if the supporting means 14 is substantially horizontal and which valve means 22 is adapted to close off the inlet means 20 if the supporting means 14 is not substantially horizontal; and
    • (c) of heating the object 16 supported on the supporting means 14 by means of the burning means 18.

In addition, the heating apparatus 10 has a lower centre of gravity due to the construction of the housing frame 12 consisting of conduits and containing the gas and/or liquid fuel. The heating apparatus 10 is therefore more stable and increases the safety factor thereof.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 of the drawings, a heating apparatus in accordance with the invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 30, is shown.

The heating apparatus 30 includes

    • (a) a housing frame 32 consisting of conduits for containing gas and/or liquid fuel,
    • (b) supporting means 34 for supporting an object 16 to be heated;
    • (c) burning means 38 for heating the object 36 supported on the supporting means 34;
    • (d) inlet means 40 for supplying gas and/or liquid fuel to the burning means 38; and
    • (e) valve means 42 associated with the inlet means 40, and which is adapted to close off the inlet means 40 if an object is not supporting by the supporting means 34.

Either the inlet means 40 or the housing frame 32 are removably connected to a gas and/or liquid fuel container (not shown). The fuel is mainly paraffin.

The object 36 to be heated can be a cooking pot, other cooking container or utensil and/or food.

The heating apparatus 30 is also transportable.

The supporting means 34 is moveable relative to the burning means 38 by means of movable means (not shown) for moving the supporting means 34 and the burning means 38 relatively away from each other.

The valve means may be integrated into the inlet means.

The conduits of the housing frame include 16 mm class II piping.

The inlet means 42 is integrated into the housing frame 32.

The inlet means 42 includes a master valve (not shown) for manually closing off fuel flow to the burning means 38.

The heating apparatus 30 generally intended for domestic use and aims to reduce the danger of fires, in that the inlet means 40 are closed-off by means of the valve means 42 should the heating apparatus 30 fall over whereby the object 36 is not supported by the supporting means 34 anymore.

Thus the heating apparatus 30 provides means for heating an object with the following steps

    • (a) of supporting the object 36 to be heated on the supporting means 34;
    • (b) of opening the inlet means 40 for supplying the gas or liquid fuel to the burning means 38 by valve means 42 only if the object 36 is being supported on the supporting means 34 and which valve means 42 is adapted to close off the inlet means 40 if the object 36 is not supported by the supporting means 34; and
    • (c) of heating the object 36 supported on the supporting means 34 by means of the burning means 38.

In addition, the heating apparatus 30 has a lower centre of gravity due to the construction of the housing frame 32 consisting of conduits and containing the gas and/or liquid fuel. The heating apparatus 30 is therefore more stable and increases the safety factor thereof.

Referring to FIGS. 5 to 16 of the drawings, a heating apparatus in accordance with a third embodiment of the invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 50, is shown.

The heating apparatus 50 includes

    • (a) a housing frame 52 consisting of conduits for containing gas and/or liquid fuel,
    • (b) supporting means 54 for supporting an object 56 to be heated;
    • (c) burning means 58 for heating the object 56 supported on the supporting means 54; and
    • (d) inlet means 60 for supplying gas and/or liquid fuel to the burning means 58.

The fuel is mainly gas/liquid fuel such as paraffin.

The object 56 to be heated is a cooking pan.

The heating apparatus 50 is foldable to be compact to facilitate transporting the heating apparatus 50 (c.f. FIGS. 13 to 16).

The conduits of the housing frame include 60 to 120 mm tubing/piping. The inlet means 60 includes a master valve (not shown) for manually closing off fuel flow to the burning means 58.

The heating apparatus 50 generally intended for domestic use and aims to reduce the danger of fires, in that the heating apparatus 50 has a lower centre of gravity due to the construction of the housing frame 52 consisting of piping and containing the gas and/or liquid fuel. The heating apparatus 50 is therefore more stable and increases the safety factor thereof, while the shape of the housing frame enables various practical modular accessories to be connected therewith and facilitating transporting, storing and operating of the heating apparatus 50.

Referring to FIGS. 17 to 20 of the drawings, a heating apparatus in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 70, is shown.

The heating apparatus 70 includes

    • (a) a housing frame 72 consisting of conduits for containing gas and/or liquid fuel,
    • (b) supporting means 74 for supporting an object (not shown) to be heated;
    • (c) burning means 76 for heating the object supported on the supporting means 74;
    • (d) inlet means 78 for supplying gas and/or liquid fuel to the burning means 76; and
    • (e) illumination means 80

The fuel is mainly paraffin.

The heating apparatus 70 is foldable to be compact to facilitate transporting the heating apparatus 70.

The conduits of the housing frame 72 include 32 mm class II piping.

The inlet means 78 includes a master valve (not shown) for manually closing off fuel flow to the burning means 76.

The heating apparatus 70 generally intended for either camping and domestic use and aims to ensure stability, safety and practicality and reduce the danger of fires, in that the heating apparatus 70 has a lower centre of gravity due to the construction of the housing frame 72 consisting of piping and containing the gas and/or liquid fuel, which together with the inherent space frame design allows for a single accessory or a combination of accessories (which could also include extensions) to be store, transported and operated as a practical modular concept. The heating apparatus 70 is therefore more stable and practical.
