Abstract:
1. A portable pet warmer for providing a safe and reliable heat source, said portable pet warmer comprising: an outer cylinder having front and rear open ends; front and rear covers removably attached to said front and rear open ends respectively; an inner cylinder removably positioned within said outer cylinder; a plurality of retainer clips mated to an outer surface of said inner cylinder and being removably engaged with an inner surface of said outer cylinder such that said inner cylinder remains spaced from said outer cylinder while said inner cylinder is positioned within said outer cylinder; a thermostat located within said outer cylinder; a heating element located within said inner cylinder and adapted to be coupled to an external 115 volt alternating current power supply source; a fan located in said outer cylinder for circulating heated air outwardly therefrom; a mounting plate attached to said outer cylinder; a plurality of retainer springs coupled to said mounting plate and oriented perpendicular to each other for maintaining said thermostat at a substantially stable position downstream of said heating element; a circuit breaker communicatively coupled to said thermostat; and an internal power supply source providing a 12 volt direct current to said thermostat, said internal power supply source being electrically coupled to said circuit breaker; wherein said circuit breaker automatically interrupts power to said heating element when said thermostat detects a temperature within said outer cylinder that exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature.
