Abstract

The invention provides an indoor or outdoor bench that features heating and cooling capabilities. The heating and cooling features comprise a variety of configurations. One such configuration includes a temperature control thermostat with three heat settings (such as 600 watt radiant, 900 watt fan forced, and 1500 watt radiant and fan forced), oscillating heat coils with an incorporated fan unit, and a dual safety system featuring a tip over switch and manual reset type limit control. In addition, an external temperature control button allows a user to choose heat, heat and fan, or fan only. The heater fan combination operates on any suitable power source, such as a DC rechargeable battery source such as nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride. Another suitable power source is standard household power, such as AC 110 voltage, for example.

1 . A bench device having heating and cooling capabilities, comprising a bench having a multiplicity of horizontal linear supports to form the seat and wherein the heating and cooling means are positioned under and behind the horizontal linear supports so that the heated or cooled air exits through vents placed under and behind the horizontal linear supports. 
     
     
         2 . The bench device of  claim 1  further comprising a temperature control thermostat with three heat settings and oscillating heat coils with an incorporated fan unit, and a dual safety system featuring a tip over switch and manual reset type limit control. 
     
     
         3 . The bench device of  claim 2  wherein the three heat settings are 600 watt radiant, 900 watt fan forced, and 1500 watt radiant and fan forced. 
     
     
         4 . The bench device of  claim 2  further comprising an external temperature control button allowing a user to choose heat, heat and fan, or fan only. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the incorporated fan unit operates on any suitable power source, such as a DC rechargeable battery source such as nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the power source is standard household power, such as AC 110 voltage.
