A gas burner assembly for a poultry house heater having a head that is fabricated from a metal stamping process. The gas burner has a venturi tube which extends between a burner orifice and a burner head. The burner head is manufactured from a top plate and a bottom plate. The top and bottom plates define about forty upper half and lower half burner ports wherein the lower half ports of the bottom plate are in registry with the upper half ports in the top plate to define the ports for the gas burner. The interior of the head is shaped to form a chamber around the junction with the venturi tube having a height greater than said ports, and the interior surface of the head is smooth and free of sharp edges. The top and bottom plates are mechanically connected by a series of tabs and slots formed on the top and bottom plates.

Poultry house heater

A suspension apparatus is provided for hanging a space heater having a generally circular top cover for use in a livestock or poultry house. The suspension apparatus is designed to decrease the distance from a support cable end to the top of a space heater, thereby increasing the clearance between the space heater and the floor of the animal house. The suspension apparatus includes a Y-shaped member having a first arm and a second arm that are substantially equal in length. The Y-shaped member additionally includes a third arm that is shorter than the first and second arms. The first, second and third arms of the Y-shaped member are substantially in a common plane. An extension arm is provided, which is slidably mounted on and in parallel relation to the third arm of the Y-shaped member. The first and second arms of the Y-shaped member and the extension arm are engageable with apertured tabs typically provided on a top cover of a space heater. A hook element is fashioned on the extension arm. The hook element is designed to be in close proximity to the top cover of the space heater. The hook element may be horizontally adjusted by sliding the extension arm parallel to the third arm, thereby balancing the space heater when the heater is suspended by a cable or other means.
