- the length of the tubes 104, 106 and the diameters thereof are related to each other to optimize the gas mix- .ing characteristics thereof.
- the nozzle 74 of the gas valve 72 is aimed at substantially ;the center of the tube 106 and is spaced a short distance .therefrom as will be noted in the FIGS. 3 and 4 so that the jet (of gas fuel which emanates therefrom is directed into the tube 1.06.
- the bracket 78 is provided with openings 114 spaced around the nozzle 74.
- Air is drawn through the openings 114 as a result of the reduced pressure created within the space ,between the bracket wall 76 and the frame wall 50. This air is drawn into the tube 106 and flows therethrough and through the tube 104 along with the gaseous fuel to form a combustible mixture which is injected into the casing 88 in the enlarged space adjacent to the end wall 94.
- a platelike baffle 116 is providedon the outlet end 118 of the tube 104. The bafile 116 is angled towards the bottom wall 9:11 of the casing 88 and terminates approximately midway of the tube 104.

- the tiles may be constructed in accordance with the US. Pat. No. 2,775,294 issued to Gunther Schwank, or in accordance with other compositions and constructions now commercially available on the market.
- the gas/air mixture flows through the perforations 130 in the tiles and burns as it leaves the holes. The burning takes effect at the surface of the tile thus heating the tiles to incandescence.
- a plurality of rods 132 extend between the ends 92, 94 of the casing 88.
- the rods 132 are spaced a short distance'from the face of the tiles 124.
- the rods 132 arefo'rmed of ametal which will withstand a high heat intensity and-are of sufficient cross-sectional area to prevent distortion under their own weight at the elevated temperature at which they operate.
- the rods 132 are heated to incandescence which is ordinarily well above the temperature ofthe surface of the tiles 124.
- the rods reradiate heat back to the tiles, thus raising the surface temperature of the tiles which results in more efficient operation of the tiles.
- the rods of course, also radiate heat directly out from the burner to accomplish the stated purpose of the burner.
- the burner structure 32 may be turned to a horizontal position as shown in F IG. 2 to cook food which is on either the grill 20 or spit 22.
- the cooking time is very short because of the radiant nature of the heat which emanates from the burner structure 32.
- the burner structure 32 may be rotated to a vertical position as shown in FIG. 1 when it is desired to use the unit 10 as a space heater. When in this position, the burner structure 32 will emit radiant heat to the surrounding area and heat any object or person which is inv the path of the heat without substantially heating the air in between. This makes the unit very efficient for use outdoors.
- burner structure 32 may be turned to different positions as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 without materially affecting the efficiency of operation of the burner.
- burner structures have basically been designedto be mounted in a single position.
- the structural factors which permit operation of the burner in this fashion are the double cone venturi tube structure 104, 106, the shape of the burner casing 88, and the provision of the baffles 116, 120.
- the baf-' fles 116, 120 are believed to be particularly important in contributing to the movability of the burner structure.
- Another important feature of the invention is the pivotal mounting of the burner structure on the nozzle 74 of the gas valve 72..This construction permits pivoting of the burner structure without damaging the gas line connections.
- the combination of the conical tube 106 and spaced-apart nozzle 74 to introduce gas ar d air into the burner without a direct connection between the gas valve and venturi structure is also important in the rotatably mounting of the burner.

There are, however, relatively large air spaces 18%, 182 which separate the wall portions 172, 174 of the casing 168 from the back wall 158 of the housing. These air spaces act as an insulator to prevent the back wall 158 of the housing from becoming hot.
- the warmest portion of the casing is that portion forming the outer marginal edges of the back wall portions 172, 174. These portions farthest away from the back wall 158 of the housing.
- An elongated conical venturi tube 184 extends through an opening in the sidewall 1'78 of the casing 168 to a point within the casing 163 adjacent the opposite sidewall 176.
- a flow-dividing baffle 186 is provided on the sidewall 176 in alignment with the mouth of the tube 184. The baffle 186 causes an equal amount of gases which emanate from the tube 184 to flow in opposite directions within the casing 168.

- the fuel/air mixtures passes through the venturi structure wherein it is intimately intermixed.
- the fuel/air mixture emanates from the tube 184 and impinges against the baffle 186 whereupon it is directed to the opposite ends of the casing 168.
- An elongated baffle 200 is provided centrally within the casing 168.
- the baffle 206 is spaced from the casing back wall by legs 202, 204 which have flanges 2116, 208 secured to the back wall 170.

- the ceramic tiles at both the sides and ends of the infrared generator are held in place by means of abracket 220 which clamps on over the inner edges of the ceramic tiles.
- the bracket 220 is spaced from the baffle 200 to create apocket of air which acts as a heat insulator.
- Operation of the infrared generator 156 is substantially the same as operation of the infrared generator 34 previously described.
- the gas-air mixture passes through the perforations in the ceramic tiles and is ignited at the surface of the tiles causing this surface to become heated and radiate infrared heat rays.
- the infrared generator 156 has proved to be highly efficient in operation. This is, in part, due to the high efficiency of the gas inlet and mixing structure as previously described in connection with the FIG. lembodiment.
- another fixture of the invention which leads to efficiency of operation is the angle of the ceramic tiles along the elongated edges of the casing 168. This slant of the tiles results in superior burning characteristics and also superior distribution patterns of the infrared rays which are emitted. Blocking off the center of the infrared generator with the baffle 200 also contributes to a superior infrared ray distribution pattern and improved burning characteristics for cooking purposes.
