A mounting device for a heater module which permits rapid installation and removal of the device from a ferrous surface. The mounting device includes a pair of oppositely disposed assemblies each of which has a magnet and a spring loaded structure for mounting the magnet so that the magnet surface can be quickly and conveniently positioned in engagement with the ferrous surface so as to retain the heater module in close heat transferring contact with the surface. Each assembly is provided with a handle to facilitate installation and removal of the module from the surface.

Apparatus for mounting a heating module having a generally planar face to a ferrous surface so that the face is in heat transferring contact with the surface comprising first and second base members rigid with the heating module and disposed adjacent the periphery of said heating module at spaced apart regions thereof, each said base member having a plate portion extending laterally outward from the periphery of said heating module disposed rearward of the plane of said face in substantial parallelism thereto, each said plate portion having at least one hole therethrough, first and second attachment members mounted to respective said base members, each said attachment member including a rigid elongate spacer extending through said hole, said spacer having an inner first end on one side of said plate portion and an outer second end on the other side of said plate portion, each said attachment member including a magnet having a body and a magnet surface, means for fixing said magnet to said first end of a respective spacer, a handle fixed to said second end and defining an abutment transverse of said spacer, said magnet residing between said plate portion and the plane of said face, a compression spring circumscribing said spacer and extending between said abutment and said plate portion for resiliently biasing said magnet so that said magnet surfae normaly resides in a first position substantially coextensive with the plane of said face, each said spring affording independent movement of a respective said magnet relatve to said face to a second position at which said magnet surface is forward of the plane of said face, said handle affording application of manual force to said magnet to move said magnet to said second position.
