Abstract:
1. An assembly for heating a wall and a room, comprising: a frame, said frame having a base, two spaced apart uprights upon said base, and at least a foot below said base to stabilize the assembly when erected; a pair of panels spaced apart from said base and spanning between said uprights, a control box, generally arranged between said uprights in the assembly and upon said base and arranged proximate said panels, said control box including a switch to interrupt electrical service to said assembly, a room temperature sensor to detect ambient air temperature in the vicinity of said assembly, and a controller to interrupt electrical service to said assembly when a high air temperature is attained; an infra-red wall temperature sensor to detect the temperature of a nearby surface proximate said assembly, and a separate controller to interrupt electrical service to said assembly when a high surface temperature is detected; a low intensity infra-red heater operatively associated with each panel, a first heater located with the first panel, and the second heater located with the second panel, said heaters denoting the front of said assembly, each of said heaters having a pivoting cover connected upon one of said uprights, and each of said covers having a closed position generally upon the entire surface of said heater, and an open position exposing the entire surface of said heater, and each heater having a back generally located behind and opposite said exposed infra-red heaters; each of said heaters having a heating mechanism that generates low intensity infrared radiation, and said control box being located proximate said heaters, and said room temperature sensor interrupting electrical service to said assembly when a temperature over 120° F. is detected, and said wall temperature sensor interrupting electrical service to said assembly when a temperature over 150° F. is detected; and said heaters operating electrically upon less than 250 volts.
