Abstract
A linoleum roll heater assembly for heating a roll of linoleum while in storage or at a job site located at a cold weather environment. The heater assembly includes a heater tube to be received through the roll of linoleum to be heated. The heater tube is supported for rotation between a pair of side support blocks to facilitate unrolling and dispensing the heated linoleum. An insulating and heating cover or blanket is removably wrapped around the linoleum roll to prevent the escape of heat. The linoleum roll is uniformly heated by respective heating elements of the heater tube and the heating blanket, whereby linoleum may be continuously disposed from its roll with the expenditure of a minimal pulling force.
