BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Embodiment 1. The first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a side view of an oil heater body according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a top view with a part cut away.
In the figure, a space formed by the tank guide plate 5a and the casing 2 is formed inside the heater whose outer side is covered by the main body casing 2, the bottom plate 8, the front panel 7, the top plate 6, and the tank outlet lid 5. The cartridge tank 1 is stored in this space.

Below the cartridge tank 1, an oil pan,
A pump or the like (not shown) is arranged, and oil is sent to the combustor through the oil feed pipe and burned (not shown). With the cartridge tank 1 housed in the heater body, facing the oil level meter 3 attached to the cartridge tank 1,
At the position of the main body casing 2, a window hole 2a and a see-through body 4 fitted into the window hole 2a are attached. The transparent body 4 is formed in a convex lens shape so that the oil level meter 3 of the cartridge tank 1 therein can be seen in an enlarged manner.

The oil amount meter 3 in the cartridge tank 1
In contrast to the center 3a of the perspective body 4, when the oil level meter 3 and the perspective body 4 are located on the side surface of the heater body as shown in FIG. It is located at a predetermined distance in the forward direction.

3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c) are three-sided views showing the construction of the oil meter 3 of the cartridge tank 1.
(A) is a longitudinal sectional view, (b) is a front view, and (c) is a lateral sectional view. The cartridge tank 1 has a punching hole 1c, and the punching hole is engaged with a transparent member 10 having a prism shape 10a and a column 10b for supporting a back plate 11 welded and fixed to the back surface. It is fixed to the cartridge tank 1 with a screw 13 by a holding tool 12 having an oval hole 12a through a sealing material (not shown). The back plate 11 on the back surface of the transparent member 10 is, for example, an aluminum plate on which an orange or red printing surface 11a and an exposed aluminum or silver printing surface 11b are diagonally printed in a striped pattern.

Next, the operation of the oil heater having the above structure will be described. When the cartridge tank 1 is housed in the heater body and combustion is continued, the kerosene 9 inside the cartridge tank 1 gradually disappears due to fuel consumption. It is a direct method that the residual oil amount can be confirmed by looking at the oil amount meter 3 in the cartridge tank 1 from the outside of the main body.

At this time, the oil level meter 3 of the cartridge tank 1 and the perspective body 4 attached to the main body casing 2 are arranged with a certain gap because the cartridge tank 1 itself is taken out or stored. . For this reason, the oil level meter 3 is inevitably located in the interior of the main body. Therefore, it is desirable that the size of the oil level meter 3 itself is as large as possible, but if it is too large, there is a problem that the area to be sealed with respect to the cartridge tank 1 becomes large. Therefore, without changing the size of the oil level meter 3, the image of the oil level meter 3 seen by the user through the transparent body 4 is displayed by the transparent body 4.
By making a convex lens shape, it becomes easier to see by enlarging and it becomes easier to check the oil amount.

The height of the heater itself and the oil level meter 3,
The position of the perspective body 4 in the height direction is considerably lower than the user's eyes, and when the center 3a of the oil level meter 3 and the center 4a of the perspective body 4 are aligned with each other, the user can move to the right side thereof. You cannot check the oil level unless you look down. Therefore, when the center 4a of the transparent body 4 is shifted upward as shown in FIG. 1, the amount of oil can be confirmed by the user's standing line of sight.

Similarly, if the oil level meter 3 and the transparent body 4 are provided on the side surface of the heater body, the heater is a product that is generally placed in the corner of the room and is operated, so that the user can use the heater. It is necessary to move to the side of the to check the oil amount.
By arranging the center 4a of the perspective body 4 in the forward direction with respect to the center 3 of the above, the amount of oil can be confirmed even from an obliquely front side.

In the oil amount meter 3 of the cartridge tank 1 shown in FIG. 3, the portion without the kerosene 9 has the prism shape 10 of the transparent member 10.
It looks white due to a. On the other hand, a portion where the kerosene 9 is present can be seen as a stripe pattern printed on the back plate 11 when the kerosene 9 enters the prism shape 10a. Here, the oil meter 3 portion of the cartridge tank 1 is in a recessed position when the main body is stored, and the tank outlet lid 5 is also closed. Since the orange or red part 11a and the silver part 11b are printed in a diagonal stripe pattern, the silver part 11b reflects even a small amount of light, and the position of the liquid surface 9a of the kerosene 9 can be easily identified.

On the other hand, when the main body of the heater is used in a bright place in the daytime, there is no difference between the white portion without kerosene and the silver portion 11b of the rear plate 11, but the orange or red portion 11a.
The position of the liquid surface 9a can be known to the user.

Embodiment 2. Although the oil meter 3 and the perspective body 4 are on the side surface of the heater main body in the above-described first embodiment, the center of the perspective body 4 is different from the center 3a of the oil meter 3 even on the front side. By shifting 4a upward, it is possible to check the amount of oil in a standing state.

The back plate 11 having a diagonal striped pattern may have a striped pattern formed by the orange or red portion 11a and the fluorescent color printing portion.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the center of the see-through body of the main body casing is displaced upward or forward with respect to the center of the oil level meter of the cartridge tank, the user stands up. There is an effect that the amount of oil can be confirmed diagonally from the front even if the user does not go to the state or right next to the heater body.

Further, since the see-through member is formed in the shape of a convex lens, the oil level meter of the cartridge tank accommodated therein is enlarged and looks large, so that an oil heater having an easy-to-see and easy-to-see oil level can be obtained. There is.

Further, the oil level meter of the cartridge tank is
Since the back plate on which the orange, red, and silver stripe stripes are printed is provided on the back surface of the prism-shaped transparent member, it is possible to obtain an oil heater in which the position of the liquid surface can be easily understood in both dark and bright places.
