Title:
HEATER AND FURNITURE, WALL BODY INCORPORATING IT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/132821
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A heater ensuring good matching when it is built in storage furniture, or the like,
without impairing usability as an independent heater. The heater comprises
a door (4) for opening/closing a heating compartment (3), a section (5) for controlling
a heating means, and an operating section (6) for controlling driving of the heating
means. The operating section (6) is constituted by providing an electrostatic
switch on the inside of a semitransparent member such that light is emitted by
touching the semitransparent member to be readied for receiving a switch operation.
The operating section is normally invisible from the outside and thereby good
matching with furniture is ensured when the heater is built in a storage furniture,
or the like. Since the operating section emits light to be readied for receiving
switch operation when a user touches the semitransparent member, the heater
can be used similarly to a conventional apparatus and usability is not impaired.
