Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for lighting a barbecue, a fireplace and a fire in general.
  • the device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It is characterized in that it is purchased in ready-to-assemble and can be easily formed by the user from a plate of flammable material, preferably wood board, pre-cut and grooved, of low thickness and small footprint.
  • the device comprises a hood-shaped grid and a finned burner.
  • the grid consists of a pre-cut strip of flammable material, preferably spiral, and the finned burner is formed of inverted U or V surfaces and draws, in plan, a cross or a star.
  • the grid is developed, vertically, on the burner and takes the form of a truncated cone with degrees or a truncated pyramid degree or any other volume flared down to the stairs, without risers, following the profiles of the burner serving as a support.
  • a central gap in the grid and notches or stops in the burner head allow coupling and securing.
  • the device thus formed is placed in a focus before the fuel and allows burning below said fuel crushed or cut after ignition of the burner head.
  • the device takes the place in the center of the home, usually occupied by a fuel allowance difficult to ignite and is a flamed openwork structure in the form of chimney hood.
  • the burner in the heart of the hood, profits for its combustion from the maximum draft and ignites, thanks to its fins, of the center towards the periphery, the grid which it supports and the fuel placed above and on the sides.
  • Light crushed fuels benefit from a particular advantage: the stacking of their pieces still retains a dome-shaped layout several minutes after the combustion of the device. This feature allows to maintain a longer self-ventilation in the heart of the fuel; Ventilation manually is no longer essential and if one ventilates despite everything, the combustion process is greatly accelerated.
  • the device While burning, the device will not emit unpleasant odors: it is composed of wood fibers and has no other load than natural resin.
  • the device is characterized in that it is purchased in ready-to-assemble and that it can be constituted by the user from a pre-cut and grooved flammable material plate (1) ( fig.1).
  • the device comprises a grill (2) in the form of a perforated hood, consisting of a pre-cut flammable material ribbon, and a finned burner (3) with a cross or star plane, with triangular profiles, pointed upwards, or all other profiles whose base is wider than the top; the burner (3) is centered in the core of the hood formed by the grid (2) (fig.5) and serves as a support, allowing the grid (2) not to be too deformed under the weight of the fuel.
  • the flammable material used for the manufacture of the precut plate (1), and used for the construction of the device is a carton, compact and flexible, rich in wood fibers and natural resins, preferably produced from softwood.
  • This cardboard does not contain toxic fillers, such as synthetic glues, because it is the resin that serves as a link between the wood fibers; Another advantage: this type of cardboard releases burning intense and prolonged heat and remains incandescent longer.
  • the grid (2) may have, in plan, any outlines and cutouts provided that its contours and cutouts form a ribbon and that ribbon, once developed vertically, forms a hollowed and perforated volume whose base is more wide than the top and filling the hood function.
  • the grid (2) can therefore have a circular cutting plane (FIG. 1), elliptical, square, rectangular, cruciform, star-shaped or other and, when developed vertically, constitute a truncated cone (FIG. an elliptical cone frustum, a pyramid trunk, an elongated truncated pyramid, a cruciform or star-shaped pyramid trunk and any other volume with degrees, flared downwards, narrower upwards.
  • the grid (2) is initially a disc (fig.1 and fig 4) pre-cut in spiral or in concentric circles interconnected by a ribbon of material S (4), diagonally or otherwise, and which automatically forms a grid (2) shaped frustoconical openwork hood when the pre-cut disc (2), centered on the burner, is developed downwards, vertically, by the user (Fig 5).
  • the gate (2) has a central gap (5) in which fits the head (6) of the burner (3), this gap (5) tends to promote the drawing and evacuation of fumes during combustion.
  • the central gap (5) of the grid (2) comprises an articulated flap (7) resulting from the partial cutting of this gap and can straighten vertically before or during penetration of the head (6). ) of the burner (3) in the center of the grid (2) (fig.5).
  • This articulated flap (7) if properly oriented, protects the ignition flame from the wind and also serves, when it is in flames or incandescent, to ignite the gases that would escape without burning; prevent the fire from choking and the board from burning too slowly.
  • the finned burner (3) consists of a single piece (fig.2 and 3), from the peripheral zone (3) (fig.1) of the pre-cut material plate (1); its inverted U- or V-shaped profiles and its cross or star shape are obtained by means of bending in the form of hollows or bumps along the diagonals and medians according to pre-existing grooves (8 and 9) (FIG. , 2 and 3) ..
  • the finned burner (3) consists of inverted U or V plates or flying buttresses or cross-shaped or star-shaped hoops, thanks to notches, in a male-female arrangement; these plates are drawn from the corners of the plate of flammable material precut.
  • the head (6) of the burner (3) has notches or notches (10) allowing the lashing in abutment or snap-fastening of the grid (2) to the burner (3) after intrusion of the burner head (6) (3). ) in the central gap (5) of the grid (2).
  • the burner head (6) has one or more holes (11) in which one or more match heads can be housed for firing.
  • the best way to achieve the invention is characterized by the choice of a plate of flammable material (1) cardboard-wood produced from softwood.
  • the wood-cardboard plate (1) is square (fig.1) and pre-cut in two parts: a disk-shaped central portion (2) and a second peripheral portion with a circular inner contour and a square outer contour (3).
  • the peripheral part (3) (fig.1) will be used for the manufacture of a finned burner (3) (fig.2 and 3), in one piece, thanks to recesses bent according to the medians and bends in hump along the diagonals from grooves (8 and 9) pre-established.
  • the disk (2) is pre-cut into a spiral or concentric circles interconnected by an S-shaped turn (4) and comprises about six turns, it will constitute the frustoconical grid (2) intended to serve as a hood when it is centered on the burner (fig.4) and developed downwards, vertically, by the user (fig.5).
  • the gate (2) has a circular central gap (5) in which fits the head (6) of the burner (3); this gap (5) tends to promote the drawing and evacuation of fumes.
  • the board-wood plate (1) has dimensions 24 cm x 24 cm x 0.125 cm
  • the disk or grid (2) has a diameter of 18 cm
  • the burner (3) has a height of 10 cm and a span identical to the grid (2)
  • the central gap (5) of the grid (2) has a diameter of 3.5 cm identical to that of the hinged flap (7) and that of the head (6) the burner (3) whose holes (11) for firing are of a diameter of 1.2 cm
  • the firelighter, once shaped (fig.5) will have, dimensions of the order of 11 cm for its height, 18 cm for its diameter at the base.
  • the width of each of the 6 turns of the grid (2) is 1.2 cm.
  • the device according to the invention is intended for a very wide audience and must be produced in large series, industrially; the raw material and the techniques for the production of the invention exist: the cardboard-wood is manufactured in several countries including France and the cutting of the plates is made from rolls of cardboard thanks to "forms" of cutting mounted on rotary presses.
