Abstract (en)

A gas parasol space heating appliance is provided, comprising a base structure (51) for housing a bottle of gas, the base structure supporting a pole (52), the pole supporting a gas burner (53) arrangement with a dish deflector (54) supported thereon, in which the deflector dish (54) is collapsible and has a sufficient depth so as to extend substantially to or below the level of the base of the burner (53). The dish is preferably made in multiple sections (73, 82) which may be engaged together, or may be folded or fanned out to assemble the dish, or may be made of metal or metalized fabric in an umbrella structure. In another embodiment, the pole (2) is offset to one side of the base structure (1), and only the ground-engaging part (10) of the base structure is adapted to bear the load of the pole. The base structure has a top surface (59,9) which may be used as a small table or tray surface, and a larger extended table (30) may be fitted on top of this. All of the components, with the exception of the bottled gas and ballast for the base, which are supplied by the user, may be broken down and fitted into a single box for ease of shipping, and handling by the retailer and purchaser. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
