Abstract
Described herein is a device that will restrict the radiant heat from transferring all around a patio heater and instead will effectively focus, deflect and/or reflect radiant and convective heat from a patio heater toward a desired direction. By focusing the heat toward one direction, heat is not lost to the unoccupied direction where no persons are lounging. Rather, more of the heat is directed toward the people and thus the heater operates more efficiently.
Claims3
A directional heat shield for use with an existing or new heater design having a cap over a heating element, the heat shield comprising:
- one or more heat reflective panels each hingedly coupled to and disposed along a full or partial circumference of an edge of the cap and movably positioned from resting near the cap to hanging from the edge of the cap;
- selecting one or more of the panels to be disposed to customizably create a desired reflective surface.
