ABSTRACT:
A space heater is mounted to a ceiling fan in close proximity to the housing of the fan motor. The housing is protected from heated air by an insulated, frusto-conical in configuration shield member. An elongate, flexible heating element is helically wound about the shield member. When the fan and heating element are operated at the same time, rotation of the fan blades causes the heated air to travel toward the ceiling at an angle determined by the frusto-conical configuration of the shield member. A cowling hides the heating elements from the view of occupants of an enclosed space within which the ceiling fan is mounted. The cowling is suitably apertured to allow air to circulate in contact with the heating element. Unheated air flows into the open lower end of the hollow shield member to cool the fan motor. A coupling member enables facile removal of the heater and further enables facile installation of a light kit when the heater is not is use.
