Abstract

A heater having a housing including a bottom wall with a peripheral wall extending upwardly and outwardly away therefrom. A cavity is bounded and defined by the bottom and peripheral walls and a temperature control mechanism is disposed within the cavity. A footrest is engaged with the peripheral wall and closes off access to the cavity. The footrest is inclined at an angle relative to the bottom wall and slopes upwardly from a front region of the housing toward the back region thereof. The footrest includes a grid with a plurality of slats disposed thereon. The grid defines a plurality of apertures therein and the slats are spaced a distance apart from each other. When the temperature control mechanism is activated, air within the cavity is heated or cooled and is driven by a fan out of the aligned apertures and gaps. The slats are warmed or cooled by the driven air. The fan may be activated independently of the temperature control mechanism.
