Heating vent conduit

Abstract

A heating vent conduit with a heater unit is disclosed, being primarily utilized to heat a room independently of other rooms. The heating vent conduit can be controlled a personal thermostat, which depending on the selected temperature will regulate a heating element within the heating vent conduit. The heating vent conduit is designed to be easily installed on existing ventilation systems by replacing the end boot at vent outlets, and will allow for individual preference and comfort by allowing independent room temperature, while lowering energy costs by reducing the main heater's workload.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A heating vent conduit, comprising:
 a. a vent boot having an inlet boot aperture and an outlet boot aperture for connecting to a vent outlet;   b. a base plate;   c. a housing cover fastened to the vent boot on a first extremity of the housing cover and an inlet panel on a second extremity of the housing cover;   d. an interchangeable, independent heater unit secured on the base plate and located within the housing cover;   e. a thermostat remotely connected to the heating vent conduit to enable control of the heater unit; and   wherein the heating vent conduit is fitted onto an existing ventilation conduit to enable independent control of heat at a vent outlet.   
     
     
         2 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 1  further comprising boot securing brackets on the vent boot. 
     
     
         3 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 1  further comprising housing securing brackets connected to the base plate. 
     
     
         4 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 1  wherein the housing cover further comprises an inlet panel with an inlet aperture. 
     
     
         5 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 1  further comprising a structural member fastened to the housing cover. 
     
     
         6 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 1  wherein the heater unit comprises at least one heating element, wherein a temperature of the at least one heating element is controlled by the thermostat. 
     
     
         7 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 6  wherein the heater unit further comprises at least one perforated ceramic mount to support the at least one heating element. 
     
     
         8 . The heating vent conduit according to  claim 7  wherein the heater unit further comprises at least two sealing members, wherein the at least two sealing members prevent air from escaping an area defined by the at least one heating element. 
     
     
         9 . A heater unit comprising:
 a. a heater housing;   b. at least one ceramic mount fastened on the heater housing;   c. at least one heating element secured within the at least one ceramic mount; and   
       wherein the heater unit is installed in a heating vent conduit. 
     
     
         10 . The heater unit according to  claim 9  further comprising at least one clip to secure the at least one ceramic mount within the heater housing. 
     
     
         11 . The heater unit according to  claim 10  further comprising at least one locking aperture to secure the at least one ceramic mount within the heater housing. 
     
     
         12 . The heater unit according to  claim 11  further comprising at least one sealing member.
