Abstract

An operating device creating a rising heated vapor which passes through a grill having a concave surface enabling the condensate formed on the grill to migrate towards the center of the grill and away from the periphery of the grill which prevents condensate from dropping onto the operating device interfering with its operation.

Claims (20)

1 . A combination of an operating device generating heat to create a rising heated vapor passing through a grill,

said grill located above said operating device,

said heated vapor passing through said grill,

said grill comprising a plurality of openings, an outer perimeter and a center,

said center of said grill formed below the outer perimeter of said grill, and

whereby condensate formed on said grill when said rising heated vapor passes therethrough migrates toward the center of said grill.

2 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein said grill is formed by a plurality of openings allowing said rising heated vapor to pass therethrough.

3 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein said grill is formed of a plurality of ribs.

4 . A combination according to claim 3 , wherein said plurality of ribs form geometric shapes.

5 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein said grill has a concave shape so that said center is below said periphery.

6 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein said periphery of said grill comprises a round shape.

7 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein said periphery of said grill is substantially rectangular.

8 . A combination according to claim 6 , wherein said periphery of said grill comprises two pairs of opposite sides of which one pair is curved and the other is straight.

9 . A combination according to claim 1 , further comprising a device to create an insect free zone when said heated vapor is dispersed, said device having a body and an insect repellant section, said section comprising said grill.

10 . A combination according to claim 2 , wherein said plurality of openings are formed as rows.

11 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein grill comprises a high temperature nylon.

12 . A combination according to claim 1 , wherein said operating device comprises
