Abstract

A method and apparatus for heating articles, such as eyeglass frames, includes a bed of heat retentive beads supported above a plenum chamber by a mesh or screen. Heated air is delivered to the plenum chamber at low velocity and high volume for flowing upwardly through the bed for heating the same. The air is directed through the plenum chamber by bodies which act as baffles as well as a heat sink.
