摘要

An auxiliary heater for motor vehicles having a burner assembly for liquid fuels is provided with an electric motor whose shaft is coupled to a drive shaft for auxiliary assemblies, such as a combustion air blower, a fuel pump, a rotational atomizer, or the like, with the drive shaft being mounted at its distal end with respect to the motor and the proximal end of the drive shaft is connected to the motor shaft by way of a flexible elastic coupling. In a preferred embodiment, the combustion air blower is disposed between the motor and the fuel pump and has a hub of flexible elastic material which serves as the coupling element between the motor shaft and the drive shaft. According to a further disclosed feature, the drive shaft extends through the radial bearing and supports a rotational atomizer head at its distal end.
