Abstract
Abstract An air dispersing head for an air heater which includes a generally cylindrically-shaped cap having an inset or recess on one side and fitted with a nozzle base and nozzle in the recess, with the nozzle communicating with the interior of the cap. The nozzle is fitted with a hose of selected length and the cap is further provided with a primary air duct and a plurality of secondary air ducts in a curved rear face oppositely disposed from the nozzle. Air is forced through the bottom of the air heater by an internally located fan, and is heated by coils, channelled through the air dispersing head and ejected from the hose. Unheated, ambient air enters the air dispersing head through the primary and secondary air ducts and mixes with the heated air to control the temperature of the air ejected from the end of the hose.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
An air dispersing head for an air heater comprising: (a) a generally cylindrically-shaped cap means shaped for cooperation with the air discharge of said air heater and having an internal cavity and a primary air duct for introduction of ambient air into said cavity; (b) hose means extending through said cap means on a side of said cap means opposite said primary air duct and into said cavity for directing heated air from said heater to a work area; and (c) a plurality of secondary air ducts in said cap means and located on the same side of said cap means as said primary air duct for controlling a secondary flow of ambient air into said cavity and adjusting the temperature of said heated air discharged from said hose means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
An air dispersing head for an air heater comprising: (a) a generally cylindrically-shaped cap means shaped for cooperation with the air discharge of said air heater and having an internal cavity and a primary air duct for introduction of ambient air into said cavity; (b) hose means extending through said cap means on a side of said cap means opposite said primary air duct and into said cavity for directing heated air from said heater to a work area; and (c) a plurality of secondary air ducts in said cap means and located on the same side of said cap means as said primary air duct for controlling a secondary flow of ambient air into said cavity and adjusting the temperature of said heated air discharged from said hose means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The air dispersing head of claim 1 wherein said primary air duct is larger than each of said secondary air ducts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
72 words
The air dispersing head of claim 1 wherein said plurality of secondary air ducts is three secondary air ducts in spaced relationship in said cap means and positioned above said primary air duct, and sized with respect to said primary air duct and said cavity to effect about a 5° centigrade temperature drop in said heated air discharged from said hose means for each of said secondary air ducts which are open.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
88 words
The air dispersing head of claim 1 wherein: (a) said primary air duct is larger than each of said secondary air ducts; and (b) said plurality of secondary air ducts is three secondary air ducts in spaced relationship in said cap means and positioned above said primary air duct and sized with respect to said primary air duct and said cavity to effect about a 5° centigrade temperature drop in said heated air discharged from said hose means for each of said secondary air ducts which are open.
