1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to combination fan and heater and more particularly to a cooling fan having a detachable heater.
2. Description of Related Art
A cooling fan is used to create airflow. The fan is comprised of a rotating arrangement of blades which act on the air.
A fan heater is a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heating element. This heats the air, which then leaves the heater, warming up the surrounding room. They can heat an enclosed space such as a room faster than a heater without fan.
There is a combination fan and heater capable of providing a cooling or heated flow of air at various desired temperatures and airflow speeds. However, the fan and the heater are an integral unit. Thus, a selective use of one of the fan and the heater is not possible.
For the sake of saving space, it is desirable to have a device which can be used as a cooling fan during summer months and can be detachably fastened with a heater to be used during winter months.
Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
