Patent ID: 7826726

Claim:
A thermal vapor extraction and delivery system comprising: an elongated body, a portion of which comprises a handle having a gripping surface ergonomically shaped to fit within the grasp of a human hand; a heating element disposed within the casing; an output nozzle coupled to the casing and extending radially from the elongated body at a position above the handle, the output nozzle extending from a nozzle base to a nozzle output end; the nozzle base having a greater outer diameter than the nozzle output end and forming a step at a transition between the nozzle base and the nozzle output end; a nozzle sleeve spaced apart from and surrounding the output nozzle, the nozzle sleeve extending no further than the than the nozzle output end; a fan positioned substantially behind the heating element so as to blow ambient air through the heating element, the output nozzle base and out through the nozzle output end; a cradle having a substantially planar bottom surface and a substantially concave top surface configured to mate with and securely hold the elongated body in a horizontal position such that the nozzle output end points upward; a thermal control circuit coupled to the heater to maintain the heating element at a desired temperature.
