A portable electric space heater having a power cord with a male electrical plug and having easily replaceable quartz heating elements so that an unskilled person can remove and replace a heating element with a minimum of time, tools and skill. The heating elements are removably mounted by sockets within the heater housing behind a grill. One edge of the grill is pivotally connected to the housing and an opposite edge is connected to the housing by a latch member formed on the grill. Access to the heating elements can be obtained by unlatching the grill using the male plug as a tool.

Radiant electric heating appliance

An electric heater has a housing defining a heat-transmitting window and reflector assembly is mounted in housing that has a heat reflective surface. A heating element extends within the reflector assembly between opposite ends of the housing and radiates heat energy which is reflected by the reflector assembly. A pair of bracket arms are rotatably attached to opposite ends of the housing for securing the heater to a ceiling. A control switch mounted within one of the bracket arms and a control knob secured to the switch are substantially centered on the heater's axis of rotation. A U-shaped support assembly is used to mount the heater to the ceiling so that the heater is detachably connected to the support assembly. The support bracket can be mounted to the ceiling by a single wood bolt extending through an aperture provided centrally in the support assembly. As a result, the heater can be swiveled about the bolt.

An insect shield assembly for protecting the front end of a moving vehicle from insects is disclosed which includes two relatively rigid panels with mesh screening connected together to span across the entire front of the vehicle. A windshield deflector is made from flexible plastic film or sheet overlying the upper portion of the screening. A shield mounting system is provided which includes tubular members attached to and bracing the panels and which are slidably received within cooperating tubular members mounted on the vehicle.
