Heated debris shield
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A heated debris shield for removal of snow and frozen debris adjacent a vehicle'"'"'s ground engaging means comprising:
- a body having at least two heating elements connected to the body;
a resistive temperature detector adjacent one of the heating elements for generating a temperature signal representative of the temperature of the body; and
,a means responsive to the temperature signal to independently control power from a power source to the heating elements, wherein a first of the heating elements is intermittently activated when the temperature signal received from the resistive temperature detector indicates that the body has reached a freezing temperature, and wherein another of the heating elements and the first heating element are activated when the temperature signal received from the resistive temperature detector does not reach a set temperature within a predetermined period of time following activation of the first heating element.
