1. A method of heat therapy applied to human skin by use of an apparatus comprising a heat tube, comprising the steps of:
covering the human skin area with a piece of cloth;
heating the heat tube of the apparatus, wherein the heat tube is heat conductive;
pressing the heated heat tube of the apparatus onto the cloth to transmit the heat to the underlying tissues or surface of the afflicted human skin area;
moving the heated tube on the cloth to control the temperature of the skin area and to increase the human skin area that is heated by the heat tube;
wherein the apparatus comprises a case, a handle tube and the heat tube; the case is adjoined to the top of the handle tube; the handle tube is adjoined to the top of the heat tube; the case encloses an adjustable electric power controller to be connected to an electric power source; the handle tube encloses an electric light bulb connected to the adjustable electric power controller; the heat tube comprises a plurality of slits adjacent to the handle tube to prevent heat conduction to the handle tube from the wall of the heat tube.
2. The method of claim 1 to increase blood flow, relieve muscular spasm, treat pain, treat swelling, or treat infection of the human skin area.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the heat tube has nine slits.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the heat tube is a metal.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the heat tube is stainless steel.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the electric light bulb is a 110-v, 20-w bulb.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A window assembly comprising:
a window with an opening; and
a flange attached to a lower region of the window, an upper surface of the flange being substantially parallel to a bottom edge of the opening.
2. The window assembly of claim 1, wherein the upper surface is at a higher elevation relative to the bottom edge of the opening.
3. The window assembly of claim 1, wherein the upper surface is at substantially the same elevation as the bottom edge of the opening.
4. The window assembly of claim 1, wherein the flange is longer than the bottom of the opening.
