Solar heating device
A solar heating device is described comprising an upright tubular post, a rigid support protruding perpendiculanly from the post, and a generally panaboloidal reflector having a rigid arm extending along the axis of the reflector from the center towards the focal point. A pivot perpendicular to a free end of the arm is selectively pivotally mounted and secured in one of a plurality of notches in the support to provide a compensation for the lateral displacement of the focal point as the reflector is tilted. A height adjustable grid mourted on a tube slidably received within the post erables the support of an object to be heated. A rod indicating the focal point of the reflector can be disposed along the axis. (auth)
