ABSTRACT:
A new and improved vehicle cab heater includes a shroud assembly capable of fitting over a radiator and radiator fan on a water-cooled engine. A conduit is connected between the vehicle cab and the shroud assembly for conveying heated air from the radiator to the vehicle cab. A manually operated valve assembly is located at an end of the conduit. The valve assembly includes an exterior portion located outside of the vehicle cab and includes an interior portion located inside the vehicle cab. The valve assembly includes an exterior valve subassembly for controlling air flow from the shroud assembly to outside the vehicle cab, and the valve assembly also includes an interior valve subassembly for controlling air flow from the shroud assembly to inside the vehicle cab. A handle assembly is capable of being attached to the valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a handle-receiving portion and a guide slot located in an extension assembly. The guide slot is capable of permitting a portion of the handle assembly to pass through the extension assembly for connecting the handle assembly to the valve assembly. A flexible hose assembly may be attachable to the extension assembly. The flexible hose assembly permits air from the shroud assembly to be selectively directed to selected locations in the vehicle cab.
