Abstract

A liquid fuel combustion type infrared ray irradiating apparatus includes a base having a generally rectangular-shaped framework, each corner of which is provided with a wheel, a fuel tank fixed to the base, and a pump disposed on the base and adapted to pump fuel from the fuel tank. A combustion chamber is connected to a burner which receives fuel from the pump for combustion. An irradiation pipe is connected to the combustion chamber for guiding combustion gas from the combustion chamber into an upper chimney, receiving heat from the combustion gas, and irradiating infrared rays. Reflecting plates are disposed to forwardly reflect rearwardly directed radiant heat which has been radiated from the irradiation pipe.

Dependent claims

A liquid fuel combustion type infrared ray irradiating apparatus, comprising:

a base formed in a generally tetragon-shaped framework having opposed pairs of approximately parallel members which extend generally horizontally, each corner of said framework being provided with a wheel;
a fuel tank fixedly suspended astride one said opposed pair of parallel members which form long horizontally extending opposed sides of said base;
a pump disposed on said base and adapted to pump fuel from said fuel tank;
a burner for receiving fuel from said pump and combusting same;
a combustion chamber connected to said burner;
an irradiation pipe connected to said combustion chamber for guiding combustion gas from said combustion chamber into an upper chimney, receiving heat from said combustion gas, and irradiating infrared rays;
and
a heat irradiating portion for supporting said irradiation pipe, and having a main reflecting plate upstanding from said base for forwardly reflecting rearwardly directed radiant heat radiated from said irradiation pipe.

A liquid fuel combustion type infrared ray irradiating apparatus, comprising:

a base formed in a generally parallel tetragon-shaped frame-work, each corner of which is provided with a wheel;
a heat irradiating portion having a fuel tank disposed on said base, a burner for burner fuel pumped from said tank by a pump, and an irradiation pipe for receiving combustion gas from said burner and irradiating infrared rays in the front direction;
and
a reinforcement member having opposite ends which are respectively fixed to rearward parts of right and left side plates of said heat irradiating portion, an intermediate portion of said reinforcement member other than the fixed ends thereof being bowed slightly backward from the fixed ends and side plates, said irradiation pipe extending generally sidewardly between said side plates and having opposite ends disposed respectively adjacent said side plates, said irradiation pipe and said reinforcement member being spaced apart in non-contacting relationship.
