Abstract

A grill for appliances such as, for example, portable electric fans, heaters, humidifiers, radios, etc. The grill may be used to prevent individuals from touching the appliance's internal components while, nevertheless, allowing movement of air and sound therethrough and/or merely for decorative purposes. The grill is made up of a plurality of elongate ribs spaced apart from each other and which define a plurality of slots therebetween. Each rib is shaped having a central peak extending upwardly from side portions located on the right and left sides of the central peak. The central peak and the side portions are connected together via a curvilinear region and, thus, each of the ribs generally have a bell-shape. The ribs each have an outer surface that is coplanar with the fan/heater unit front surface and, thus, define a flat plane outer surface. The flat plane outer surface, in perspective, appears to have depth beyond the flat plane surface.
