Abstract
A heating table assembly (10) has a frame assembly (12) and a heating system (14). The frame assembly (12) has a base (16) and a support frame (18), the base (16) having an outlet opening (20). The heating system (14) is operably positioned in the frame assembly (12). The heating system (14) has a heating unit (70) connected to a duct assembly (72). The duct assembly (72) has an outlet (84) positioned at the outlet opening (20). The heating unit (70) generates heated forced air through the outlet opening (20) which is configured to provide warmth to a user positioned generally adjacent the outlet opening (20).
Claims22
A heating table assembly comprising:
- a frame assembly configured to be supported by a support surface, the frame assembly having a base and a support frame, the base having an outlet opening configured to be positioned adjacent the support surface;
- a heating system operably associated with the frame assembly, the heating system having a heating unit connected to a duct assembly, the duct assembly having a duct outlet positioned at the outlet opening, the heating unit configured to generate heated forced air through the outlet opening configured to provide warmth to a user positioned generally adjacent the outlet opening;
- and,
- a temperature regulation system operably connected to the heating system, the temperature regulation system having a temperature sensor connected to the duct assembly and a fan mounted on the frame assembly, wherein in response to the temperature sensor sensing a first predetermined temperature, the fan is activated wherein air is directed over a top surface of the duct assembly to provide cooling to the heating system, and wherein the air passes through a vertical frame opening defined between the support frame and the base.
A heating table assembly comprising:
- a frame assembly configured to be supported by a support surface, the frame assembly having a base and a support frame, the base having an outlet opening configured to be positioned adjacent the support surface, wherein a vertical frame opening is defined between the base and the support frame;
- a heating system operably associated with the frame assembly, the heating system having a heating unit connected to a duct assembly, the duct assembly having a duct outlet positioned at the outlet opening, the heating unit being configured to be operably connected to a fuel source and a power source and configured to generate heated forced air through the outlet opening;
