Patent ID: 8768151

Claim:
An air blowing appliance for treating an enclosed environment and comprising: a housing having a handle for grasping to carry the housing about within and relative to the enclosed environment, having first and second exhaust openings, and comprising a substantially semi-cylindrical first scroll portion; a blower retained within the substantially semi-cylindrical first scroll portion and adapted when energized to create an airflow within the housing in cooperation with the substantially semi-cylindrical first scroll portion; a deflector retained by and movable relative to the housing and forming a flexible scroll portion disposed within the airflow and selectively cooperating with the substantially semi-cylindrical first scroll portion to form either a first scroll configuration or a second scroll configuration; the first scroll configuration steering the airflow along a first airflow path and out from the housing through the first exhaust opening, and the second scroll configuration steering the airflow along a second airflow path and out from the housing through the second exhaust opening, the exiting second airflow directed parallel to the exiting first airflow; and a heating element retained by the housing and disposed within the first airflow path adjacent the first exhaust opening and adapted when energized to impart heat to the airflow; wherein the heating element has an airflow impedance sufficient to cause the airflow from the first exhaust opening to be slower than the airflow from the second exhaust opening.
