Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
Solar heating apparatus for heating fluid by solar rays comprising clear plastic members having semi-hemispherical, double-walled upper parts for receiving the transmission of solar rays, a substantially rectangular lower part having flanges extending therefrom for mounting and interconnecting said apparatus to abutting apparatus, a black metal pipe located within said apparatus so as to receive heat from said solar rays, said black metal pipe storing and transmitting said fluid to be heated by solar rays, and end means for supporting said metal pipe and interconnecting said apparatus to abutting apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
