Abstract
A space heating unit is designed for use in a recreational vehicle and particularly to operate in conjunction with a cooking stove wherein the heating unit has a housing which is placed over a pair of burners and air flow ducts extend across the housing above the burners to draw air from the room upwardly through the ducts and across the housing in order to heat the air and discharge it into the room. The upper end of the housing communicates with an exhaust duct and has a baffle to regulate the rate of air flow through the housing.

In a space heater unit adapted for use in a recreational vehicle having a stove top provided with a plurality of burners in a room air space within the vehicle, said heater unit comprising:
- a hollow housing of generally rectangular configuration including vertical sidewalls, a horizontal top wall having an exhaust duct extending upwardly therefrom, and a bottom wall having at least one opening therein sized for placement over a plurality of said burners, air flow ducts extending across said housing and being spaced above each of said burners, each said duct having a lower inlet through one of said walls adjacent to said bottom wall and an upper outlet through an opposite wall adjacent to said top wall whereby heating of said air ducts will draw air from the room upwardly through said ducts in heat exchange relation to said ducts and discharge same into the room.
In a space heater unit adapted for use in a recreational vehicle having a stove top in a room air space within the vehicle provided with a plurality of burners and a plurality of openings in said stove top surrounding the burners said heater unit comprising:
- a hollow housing including sidewalls, a top wall and an exhaust duct, and a bottom wall having at least one opening therein sized for placement over at least one of said burners, air flow ducts extending at upward angles across said housing and being spaced above each of said burners, each said duct having a lower inlet through one of said sidewalls adjacent to said bottom wall and an upper outlet through an opposite sidewall adjacent to said top wall whereby heating of said air ducts will draw air from the room upwardly through said ducts in heat exchange relation to said ducts and discharge same into the room said exhaust duct extends from said top wall and through an exterior wall of the vehicle, and;
- said bottom wall further including locating pins insertable into said openings surrounding said burners.
