Abstract
A heater for presenting an object to be heated on a carrier to a pair of heating structures which open from an initially closed position to receive same. The initial position of the carrier results in the heating structures being together initially and its motion then results in opening them to receive the object depending on the position reached by the carrier. The closing of the heating structures, due to further motion of the carrier, about the object to thereby envelop it reduces heating losses during the heating of the object.
