PORTABLE HEATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551232 titled 'PORTABLE HEATER
Simplified Explanation
The portable heater described in the patent application includes a housing with a radiant heating assembly that is fueled by combustible fuel, ignited by an ignition assembly, and emits radiant energy to the surrounding environment. The housing also features an air flow channel with a fan to disperse the radiant energy through the exhaust opening.
- Connector receives fuel tank with combustible fuel
- Ignition assembly ignites the fuel
- Radiant heating surface emits radiant energy
- Air flow channel with intake and exhaust openings
- Fan induces airflow through the channel
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in outdoor heating devices, camping equipment, or emergency heating solutions.
Problems Solved
The portable heater provides a convenient and efficient way to heat outdoor spaces or emergency situations without the need for electricity.
Benefits
- Portability for use in various settings - Efficient heating through radiant energy - Easy to use and maintain
Potential Commercial Applications
"Portable Radiant Heater Technology for Outdoor Spaces"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing portable heaters on the market that use different fuel sources and heating methods, but none that specifically combine a radiant heating assembly with an air flow channel and fan for efficient heat dispersion.
Unanswered Questions
How does the size of the fuel tank impact the heating capacity of the device?
The patent application does not specify the size of the fuel tank or how it may affect the heating capabilities of the portable heater.
What safety features are included in the design to prevent accidents or fuel leaks?
The patent application does not detail any specific safety features incorporated into the portable heater design to prevent potential hazards.
Original Abstract Submitted
A portable heater includes a housing defining a base portion and a radiant heating assembly positioned within the housing. The radiant heating assembly includes a connector configured to receive a fuel tank having a combustible fuel, an ignition assembly configured to ignite the combustible fuel, and a radiant heating surface configured to be heated by ignition of the combustible fuel. The radiant heating surface is configured to emit radiant energy to a surrounding environment. An air flow channel is formed in the housing defines an intake opening and an exhaust opening. The exhaust opening is positioned proximate the radiant heating surface. A fan is positioned within the air flow channel to induce an airflow through the air flow channel. The airflow exits the exhaust opening to disperse the radiant energy from the radiant heating surface to the surrounding environment.
