Abstract

Ignition aid for chimneys, stoves and grills, characterized in that a structure of staggered wooden strips stacked on top of each other, connected via wooden cylinders to form a joint, after turning the joints and interlocking the external wooden strips can be used to form a wooden tower.

Description

If you want to light a wood-burning stove, you need kindling in the form of kindling wood prizes or small wooden strips to kindle the fire in the fireplace quickly and effectively. Usually a small wooden tower is built in the stove and a lighter is placed in it.

The construction of this wooden tower requires time and skill, as the base of the wooden tower is built on larger, mostly unevenly-high logs. The kindling is therefore usually set up crookedly and the tower threatens to tip over with the construction of every further layer. Even if the kindling tower is built under the larger logs, the construction is time-consuming and threatens to shift immediately if the logs are placed.

• Der Anzündturm ist vorgefertigt gestapelt, muss nur noch aufgeklappt und ineinander verzahnt werden. Der Anzündturm wird in den Kaminofen gestellt und angezündet. Man kann es sofort auf /unter/neben dickes Scheitholz legen oder einfach warten bis der Anzündturm fast vollständig verbrannt ist und sich ordentlich Glut gebildet hat, um nach zu legen.

In order to save the building of a loose kindling tower in the furnace, the following construction is presented:

• The lighting tower is prefabricated and stacked, only has to be opened and interlocked. The lighting tower is placed in the stove and lit. You can put it immediately on / under / next to thick logs or simply wait until the kindling tower is almost completely burned and a lot of embers have formed to add more.

As in As you can see, the construction basically consists of cuboid wooden strips ( 1 ), which are lined up offset at equal intervals. This creates two aligned parts with 6 strips each (right and left) that are at the same height. The middle part with 6 strips in alignment is offset from the height of the right and left parts by a strip width. The overlap of the strips is pierced with a wooden joint in the form of a wooden cylinder ( 2 ), whereby the wooden strips can be rotated. By expanding the diameter of the wooden cylinder at the top and bottom ( 3 ), the outer strips are prevented from getting out of storage, the function is similar to a rivet.

As in can be seen, a wooden tower with the basic shape of a triangle results from the rotation and interlocking of the outer wooden strips ( 4th ).

This construction can be expanded as required by another part à 6th Extend lasts. So it results after a four-part structure which, when interlocked, results in an ignition tower with the basic shape of a square ( ).

The construction can now be placed in the fireplace / oven / grill with the basic shape facing down or on a side surface. By inserting a quick lighter (soaked wood wool etc.) into the middle opening of the lighting tower, the fire can be ignited and spread over the strips.

The advantages of this construction result from the simple handling. The parts chained to the joints result in space-saving storage in the stretched state. Another aspect is the simple assembly to the target state of a stacked wooden tower in view of the mentioned different requirements in a fireplace / oven / grill. Since you only have to put the construction once in the fireplace / oven / grill, in contrast to individual strips, the risk of getting dirty hands due to soot deposits is minimized.

Claims (9)

Ignition aid for chimneys, stoves and grills, characterized in that a structure of staggered wooden strips stacked on top of each other, connected via wooden cylinders to form a joint, after turning the joints and interlocking the external wooden strips can be used to form a wooden tower. Lighting aid after Claim 1 , characterized in that cuboid wooden strips (1) with the dimensions - length: at least 8 cm, maximum 25 cm, preferably white 16 cm - width: at least 1 cm, maximum 3 cm, preferably white 1.8 cm - height: at least 4 mm, a maximum of 20 mm, preferably 8 mm, can be used. Lighting aid after Protection claim 2 , characterized in that the cuboid wooden strips (1) are lined up in a row offset one above the other. The length of the overlap of the offset wooden strips is a minimum of a third and a maximum of half the length of a wooden strip. Ignition aid according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the number of displacements - and thus the number of later links / parts (which are aligned one above the other) - is at least 2 and at most 10. Ignition aid according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the number of wooden strips lying one above the other in an alignment is at least 3, at most 10 and preferably 6. Ignition aid according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a wooden cylinder (2) is introduced in a form-fitting manner in the middle of the overlap, which leads to the connection of the strips and the function of a joint. Ignition aid according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the wooden cylinder (2) has a diameter (depending on the width of the wooden strip) of at least 3 mm, a maximum of 10 mm and preferably 5 mm. The length of the wooden cylinder results from multiplication with the number of wooden strips stacked on top of each other and the height of the strips, added with an overlap length of at least 4mm, maximum 10 mm and preferably 8 mm. Ignition aid according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the wooden cylinder (2) is made to function as a rivet (3) at both ends by forming. The diameter of the rivet is at least 2 mm larger than that of the original wooden cylinder. Ignition aid according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rotation of all joints leads to a toothing of the respective outer wooden strips (4). The toothing is held by the form fit of the strips or also by the force fit, which is caused by an uneven number of links / parts (which are aligned one above the other) resulting in torsion.
