Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un ensemble pour l' allumage et l'alimentation d'un foyer et à son procédé d'utilisation.The present invention relates to an assembly for lighting and supplying a fireplace and to its method of use.
Le développement de la consommation des combustibles solides dans les foyers domestiques est de plus en plus entâché par:
- 1) son mode de distribution, à domicile, impliquant le plus souvent une présence au moment de la livraison.
- 2) la nécessité d destiner une partie de l'habitat à son stockage et également à celui du combustible d'amorçage (généralement du bois) et à disposer d'un dispositif d'allumage (généralement du papier).
- 3) l'obligation de nombreuses et salissantes manipulations, les quantités livrées n'étant jamais en corrélation avec la quantité nécessaire au chargement du foyer.
- 1) its mode of distribution, at home, usually involving a presence at the time of delivery.
- 2) the need to allocate part of the habitat for its storage and also for that of the priming fuel (generally wood) and to have an ignition device (generally paper).
- 3) the obligation of numerous and messy manipulations, the quantities delivered never being in correlation with the quantity necessary for the loading of the hearth.
L'évolution de notre mode de vie et d'habitation a amené la Société à:
- 1) s'approvisionner elle-même auprès des centres de distribution et ce, pour une part accrue de produits ou de services de consommation courrante.
- 2) adapter le stockage inhérent au chauffage du logement familial en fonction d'impératifs budgétaires, architecturaux ou techniques.
- 3) rechercher des modes de chauffage automatisés, servant de base pour l'entièreté du logement familial mais complétés par des dispositifs recréant une certaine "ambiance" ou d' appoint pur et simple.
- 1) supply itself from distribution centers for an increased share of current consumer products or services.
- 2) adapt the storage inherent in heating the family home according to budgetary, architectural or technical imperatives.
- 3) look for automated heating modes, serving as a basis for the entire family home but supplemented by devices recreating a certain "ambiance" or pure and simple backup.
La présente invention correspond à ces différentes aspirations par le fait que sa présentation correspond à:
- 1) und distribution possible par les centres commerciaux, le produit étant présentable et enlevable par des particuliers dans ces centres.
- 2) une simplification du stockage, le produit étant approvisionnable au fur et à mesure des besoins et manutentionnable de manière aisée et propre.
- 3) un mode d'emploi pratique, le produit contenant tous les éléments lui permettant d'être auto-allumant et en quantité correspondant à l'utilisation pendant une soirée (par exemple de 18 à 22 H) du foyer.
- 1) und possible distribution by shopping centers, the product being presentable and removable by individuals in these centers.
- 2) simplification of storage, the product being supplied as and when needed and easy to handle and clean.
- 3) a practical manual, the product containing all the elements allowing it to be self-igniting and in a quantity corresponding to the use during an evening (for example from 18 to 22 H) of the hearth.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble du type précité notament caractérisé en ce que en plus du combustible solide, le conditionnement contient un combustible d'amorçage et un dispositif d'allumage.To this end, the subject of the invention is an assembly of the aforementioned type, notably characterized in that, in addition to the solid fuel, the packaging contains a priming fuel and an ignition device.
Elle a également pour objet le procédé d'utilisation de cet ensemble.It also relates to the method of using this set.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non-limitatif en regard du dessin annexé qui représente:
- -figure 1: vue en coupe, l'ensemble selon l'invention étant représenté sur son fond (à l'endroit)
- -figure 2: l'ensemble selon l'invention disposé dans un foyer (en coupe), selon le procédé d'utilisation.
- -Figure 1: sectional view, the assembly according to the invention being represented on its bottom (at the place)
- -Figure 2: the assembly according to the invention arranged in a hearth (in section), according to the method of use.
En se reportant au dessin on remarque le produit objet du brevet est constitué d'un ensemble pour l'allumage et l'alimentation d'un foyer constitué des éléments suivants:
- le combustible solide (1), qui comprend au moins l'un des produits que sont le charbon, le coke de pétrole, ou un mélange de ces éléments permettant de mettre en valeur les qualités intrinsèques de l'un ou de l'autre (exemple: le coke de pétrole a un bonne inflamabilité).
exemple:
45% d'anthracite
55% de coke de pétrole bas-soufre
La quantité de combustible solide (1) correspond à l'utilisation pendant une soirée ( par exemple de 18 à 22 h) du foyer; les essais ont démontré que pour satisfaire à cette caractéristique, cette quantité est comprise entre 3 et 7 Kg. (selon les foyers et les allures de chauffe).
exemple: 5 Kg.
Le mode de remplissage du conditionnement (5) sera tel que le combustible solide (1) présente une surface supérieure ayant la forme d'un creuset destiné à recevoir le combustible d' amorçage (2) en son sein. D'autre-part, le procédé d'utilisation de l'ensemble veut que l'on dispose l'ensemble dans le foyer à l'envèrs et incliné sensiblement à 45° vèrs le fond du foyer et qu'on enflamme le conditionnement (5) au droit du dispositif d'allumage (4). Le procédé d'utilisation de l' ensemble sera clairement indiqué sur le conditionnement (5). Après la mise à feu du conditionnement (5) et la disparition du maintient mécanique que ce conditionnement (5) procurait aux eléments, la combinaison des deux points cités plus haut permet au combustible solide (1) de s'écouler par gravité en demi-couronne à l'arrière et sur les côtés du combustible d' amorçage (2). A défaut de ces deux points, le combustible solide (1) couvrirait simplement le combustible d'amorçage (2) après la mise à feu et les chances d'auto-allumage seraient compromises par manque d'arrivée d'oxygène près du combustible d'amorçage (2).
Une autre conséquence du procédé d'utilisation est d'éviter le débordement du creuset du foyet au moment de la mise à feu. L'humidité du combustible solide (1) aura une teneur maximale de 3%.
La teneur en fines du combustible solide (1) sera du même ordre de grandeur que pour les conditionnements déjà connus.
Le calibre sera choisi en fonction des disponibilités du marché et des calibres recommandés pour les foyers domestiques.
exemple: 20/30
Au moment du remplissage, le combustible solide (1) sera disposé au fond du conditionnement(5).
- le combustible d'amorçage (2) du combustible solide (1), que ce soit du bois on tout autre matériau permettant la mise en combustion définitive du combustible solide (1).
La quantité sera en relation avec le pouvoir et le besoin d'amorçage des éléments en présence.
exemple:
- bois blanc
- coupé en morceaux de +/- 2 X 3 X 12 cm
- humidité maximale: 3%
- quantité: 0.8 Kg
Au moment du remplissage, le combustible d'amorçage (2) sera disposé dans le creuset au dessus du combustible solide (1).
- le dispositif d'allumage, constitué de plusieurs feuilles de papier type "journal" non-glacé mises en boules (3) et de quelques allume-feu (4). Les boules de papier (3) sont disposées, au moment du remplissage, selon la longueur du conditionnement (5) et au dessus du combustible d'amorçage (2). Les boules de papier (3) ont pour rôle secondaire d'éviter les déchirures du conditionnement (5) lors de l'empilage des conditionnements (5) sur palettes.
Une boule du milieu (3) contient quelques allume-feu (4), par exemple formés de petits cubes imprégnés d'un produit facilement inflammable (tel un produit pétrolier, de la parafine,....).
Cette disposition maintient les allume-feu (4) toujours en place dans le conditionnement (5) au cours de ses manipulations normales, ce qui garantit leur inflammation dès la mise à feu du conditionnement (5).
Les allume-feu ont pour rôle de garantir l'auto-allumage dans les cas de:
- mauvais tirage (cheminée humide)
- manque d'oxygène (clapet d'air pas réglé au maximum)
- conditionnements ayant été soumis à trop de manipulations et où les éléments n'auraient plus leur disposition d'origine.
- le conditionnement (5) par sac ou boîte dont:
- les dimensions rendent aisés la distribution, les manipulations et l'introduction dans les foyers domestiques.
exemple:
longueur: 35 cm
largeur : 15 cm
hauteur : 30 cm
- la forme, dont le rapport suivant est inférieur à 0.7:
- la matière constituant le conditionnement (5) sera facilement inflammable et capable de maintenir mécaniquement les éléments (1)+(2)+(3)+(4) en place. Elle aura une bonne résistance à l'humidité et pourra recevoir par un quelconque procédé, les indications nécessaires au procédé d'utilisation et exigées par la commercialisation.
exemple: papier deux plis kraft tel celui commercialisé sous la référence WSn° 780 par SEMOULIN (B)
Le conditionnement (5) sera étanche aux poussières; sa fermeture se fera par collage, couture ou soudure (6).
Lorsque le conditionnement (5) est présenté sur son fond (à l'endroit), les composants y sont disposés de bas en haut comme suit:
- le combustible solide (1)
- le combustible d'amorçage (2)
- le dispositif d'allumage (3)+(4)
Referring to the drawing, the product which is the subject of the patent is made up of an assembly for lighting and supplying a hearth consisting of the following elements:
- solid fuel (1), which comprises at least one of the products that are coal, petroleum coke, or a mixture of these elements making it possible to enhance the intrinsic qualities of one or the other (example: petroleum coke has good flammability).
example:
45% anthracite
55% low-sulfur petroleum coke
The quantity of solid fuel (1) corresponds to the use during an evening (for example from 6 to 10 p.m.) of the fireplace; tests have shown that to satisfy this characteristic, this quantity is between 3 and 7 Kg. (depending on the stove and the heating rate).
example: 5 Kg.
The method of filling the packaging (5) will be such that the solid fuel (1) has an upper surface in the form of a crucible intended to receive the priming fuel (2) therein. On the other hand, the method of using the assembly means that the assembly is placed in the hearth at a distance and inclined substantially at 45 ° to the bottom of the hearth and that the packaging is ignited ( 5) in line with the ignition device (4). The method of using the set will be clearly indicated on the packaging (5). After the firing of the packaging (5) and the disappearance of the mechanical support that this packaging (5) provided to the elements, the combination of the two points mentioned above allows the solid fuel (1) to flow by gravity in half crown at the back and on the sides of the priming fuel (2). In the absence of these two points, the solid fuel (1) would simply cover the starting fuel (2) after ignition and the chances of self-ignition would be compromised by lack of oxygen arrival near the fuel d priming (2).
Another consequence of the method of use is to avoid overflow of the crucible of the foyet at the time of ignition. The humidity of the solid fuel (1) will have a maximum content of 3%.
The fines content of the solid fuel (1) will be of the same order of magnitude as for the packages already known.
The size will be chosen based on market availability and the sizes recommended for domestic households.
example: 20/30
At the time of filling, the solid fuel (1) will be placed at the bottom of the packaging (5).
- the priming fuel (2) of the solid fuel (1), whether wood or any other material allowing the final combustion of the solid fuel (1).
The quantity will be related to the power and the need for priming of the elements present.
example:
- White wood
- cut into pieces of +/- 2 X 3 X 12 cm
- maximum humidity: 3%
- quantity: 0.8 Kg
At the time of filling, the priming fuel (2) will be placed in the crucible above the solid fuel (1).
- the ignition device, consisting of several sheets of non-glazed "newspaper" type paper put into balls (3) and a few fire starters (4). The paper balls (3) are arranged, at the time of filling, along the length of the packaging (5) and above the priming fuel (2). The paper balls (3) have the secondary role of avoiding tearing of the packaging (5) when stacking the packaging (5) on pallets.
A middle ball (3) contains a few fire starters (4), for example formed from small cubes impregnated with an easily flammable product (such as a petroleum product, paraffin, etc.).
This arrangement keeps the fire starters (4) always in place in the packaging (5) during its normal handling, which guarantees their ignition as soon as the packaging (5) is ignited.
The purpose of fire starters is to guarantee self-ignition in the event of:
- bad draft (wet chimney)
- lack of oxygen (air valve not set to maximum)
- packaging having been subjected to too much manipulation and where the elements would no longer have their original arrangement.
- packaging (5) per bag or box including:
- the dimensions make distribution, handling and introduction into domestic homes easy.
example:
length: 35 cm
width: 15 cm
height: 30 cm
- the form, the following ratio of which is less than 0.7:
- The material constituting the packaging (5) will be easily flammable and capable of mechanically holding the elements (1) + (2) + (3) + (4) in place. It will have good resistance to humidity and may receive by any process, the information necessary for the process of use and required by marketing.
example: two-ply kraft paper such as that sold under the reference WSn ° 780 by SEMOULIN (B)
The packaging (5) will be dustproof; it will be closed by gluing, sewing or welding (6).
When the packaging (5) is presented on its bottom (at the place), the components are arranged there from bottom to top as follows:
- solid fuel (1)
- priming fuel (2)
- the ignition device (3) + (4)
Le produit objet du brevet est particulièrement mais non exclusivement destiné à une utilisation en inserts ou cassettes (foyers se chargeant par l'avant).The product which is the subject of the patent is particularly but not exclusively intended for use in inserts or cassettes (fireplaces loading from the front).
