Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
Heating apparatus for elongate material, comprising conveyor means for moving elongate material along a path, a heat source adjacent to said path, a flexible heat-radiating panel located adjacent to said source for receiving heat from said source and radiating received heat to said path, and mounting means mounting said panel to afford tHereto a selected flexure for radiation in a desired pattern, said panel being fabricated of fibrous matting with the fibers disposed generally parallel to the face of the matting and comprising a plurality of strips of matting in faceto-face relation with each other, the edges of said strips being generally coplanar and defining a heat receiving and radiating surface, and tie means extending through and securing said strips in their face-to-face relation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
