Device for applying heat radiation to a surface

A device (1) for applying heat radiation to a surface, for softening and/or removing one or more coatings on said surface, which device (1) comprises a head assembly (2) and a handle assembly (3) connected to said head assembly (2), wherein the head assembly (2) comprises at least one heat radiation element (6) arranged in a reflector unit (4), which reflector unit (4) has an aperture intended to be directed towards the surface to be radiated and the head assembly (2) and the handle assembly (3) are separated by a clearance and that at least one heat dissipating member (13) spanning said clearance connects a first attachment area (14) on the head assembly (2) and a second attachment area (16) on the handle assembly (3), wherein at least a portion of the heat dissipating member (13) has a curvature such that the length of the heat dissipating member (13) exceeds the distance between the first and second attachment areas (14, 16), wherein the heat dissipating member (13) is designed such that the length of the heat dissipating member (13) exceeds at least twice the distance between the first and second attachment areas (14, 16).
