BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] 1. Field of the Invention
[0005] The invention relates to an outdoor heater.
[0006] 2. Description of Related Art
[0007] Outdoor heaters are appliance placed out, of rooms for
warming in winter from burning of gas. Conventional outdoor heaters
have a frame, a control cabinet, an inflammation assembly, a glass
tube, a reflect cover and a protective shield. The protective
shield is usually fixed to the frame by screws or revit nuts.
Therefore, installation is time taking and efficiency is low.
Meanwhile, since a periphery of the reflect cover is usually bent
downward, a big space will be need in transportation and
storage.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The main object of the invention is to provide an outdoor
heater which is convenient in installation and occupies small space
in transportation and storage.
[0009] In order to accomplish the above objects, the present
invention provides an outdoor heater has a frame, a control
cabinet, a glass tube, an inflammation cover and a reflect
assembly. The frame has a middle plate having a through hole. The
control cabinet is below the middle plate and having an
inflammation assembly contained therein right under the through
hole of the middle plate. The frame has at least one door installed
on one side thereof and side panels installed on the other sides
thereof. A protective shield is around an upper portion of the
frame. The glass tube is placed on the through holes of the middle
plate. The inflammation cover is placed on a top of the glass
tubes. The reflect assembly is above the glass tubes. The reflect
assembly has a central cover, top cover and four separate side
covers. The four separate side covers are respectively connected to
the central cover and the central cover is fixed to the top cover.
Supporting poles are provided extending out from the protective
shield. The top cover is fixed to the protective shield through the
supporting poles. A linking pole is respectively provided at each
corner of the protective shield extending inward. "L" shaped
installation holes are defined in the frame. The linking pole, is
able to be inserted in the installation holes and be locked with
respect to the frame by a first positioning plate. The reflect
assembly further has a protective net provided thereabove. The
protective net has a plurality of linking bar each having a hook.
The linking bars of the protective net are fixed to a top of the
frame.
[0010] Three glass tubes, three inflammation assemblies and three
through holes of the middle plate are provided.
[0011] One end of each first positioning plate has a first
positioning slot which is able to engage with the linking pole of
the protective shield and the other end of each first positioning
plate is fixed to the frame with screws.
[0012] "L" shaped installation holes are defined in the frame, and
the linking bars of the protective net having hook pass through the
installation hole and is fixed to the frame by a second positioning
plate fixed to the frame.
[0013] The second positioning plate has a second positioning slot
at one end thereof. The second positioning slot is able to engage
to the linking bar of the protective net. The other end of the
second positioning plate is fixed to the frame by screws.
[0014] Decoration plates are provided above the middle plate. The
decoration plates are fixed to the frame and have three decoration
plate holes. The three glass tubes passes through the decoration
plate holes and stand on the middle plate. A rubber, ring is able
to be provided around each glass tube at the decoration plate
holes.
[0015] The through holes of the middle plate has a circular flange
protruding into an inner hole at a lower portion of the glass
tubes.
[0016] A roller supporter is provided under the frame, and a roller
is installed on each roller supporter.
[0017] According to the aforementioned structure, the reflect
assembly has a central cover, top cover and four separate side
covers respectively connecting to a periphery of the central cover.
The central cover is securely fixed to the top cover. The
protective shield has supporting poles extending upright. The
separate central cover is installed to the protective shield
through the supporting poles and is able to be disassembled. The
covers are able to be disassembled into five separate panels which
provides convenience for transportation and storage and occupies
smaller space. And the covers are directly fixed to the protective
net which makes the structure stronger. The four corners of the
protective net all has linking bars and the "L" shaped installation
holes defined in the frame. The linking bars are able to be easily
inserted into the installation holes and thus connecting the frame
through the positioning plates. In the installation of the
protective net, a user is able to just insert the four linking bars
into the "L" shaped installation holes and then fix them by locking
the positioning plates. The installation will be accurate,
convenient and quickly.
[0018] These and other objectives, features, and advantages of the
present invention will become apparent from the following detailed
description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended
claims.
