- 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.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'allumage d'un barbecue, d'une cheminée et d'un feu en général .The present invention relates to a device for lighting a barbecue, a fireplace and a fire in general.
L'allumage d'un feu se fait traditionnellement à l'aide de papier et surtout de petit-bois qu'il n'est pas aisé de se procurer et de stocker pour un citadin. Il existe aujourd'hui des produits plus pratiques, facilement inflammables, sous des formes variées : petits bâtonnets solides, liquides divers, gels, qui nécessitent une mise en oeuvre ou un dosage parfois délicat à maîtriser et avec lesquels une ventilation répétée du combustible est nécessaire afin d'obtenir des braises dans un temps raisonnable. D'autres produits, plus naturels, à base de bois ou de sciure de bois sont souvent associés à des cires ou paraffines afin de faciliter leur embrasement et, comme certains bâtonnets ou liquides ou gels inflammables, peuvent dégager une odeur, à la combustion, peu compatible avec la cuisson de produits alimentaires.The lighting of a fire is traditionally made using paper and especially small wood that is not easy to obtain and store for a city dweller. Today there are more practical products, easily flammable, in various forms: small solid rods, various liquids, gels, which require an implementation or dosage sometimes difficult to control and with which repeated ventilation of the fuel is necessary to get embers in a reasonable time. Other products, more natural, based on wood or sawdust are often associated with waxes or paraffins to facilitate their burning and, as some sticks or liquids or flammable gels, can give off an odor, combustion, little compatible with cooking food products.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il est caractérisé en ce qu'il est acheté en prêt-à-monter et qu'il peut être constitué facilement par l'utilisateur à partir d'une plaque de matière inflammable, de préférence du carton-bois , prédécoupée et rainurée , de faible épaisseur et de faible encombrement. Le dispositif comporte une grille en forme de hotte et un brûleur à ailettes. La grille est constituée par un ruban de matière inflammable prédécoupé, de préférence en spirale, et le brûleur à ailettes est formé de surfaces en U ou en V renversés et dessine, en plan , une croix ou une étoile. La grille est développée, à la verticale, sur le brûleur et prend la forme d'un tronc de cône à degrés ou d'un tronc de pyramide à degrés ou tout autre volume évasé vers le bas aux profils en escalier, sans contremarche, suivant les profils du brûleur servant de support. Une trouée centrale dans la grille ainsi que des encoches ou butées dans la tête du brûleur permettent leur couplage et leur arrimage. Le dispositif ainsi formé se place dans un foyer avant le combustible et permet l'embrasement par-dessous dudit combustible concassé ou taillé après mise à feu de la tête du brûleur. Le dispositif prend, au centre du foyer, la place occupée habituellement par une surépaisseur de combustible difficile à embraser et constitue une structure inflammable ajourée en forme de hotte de cheminée. Le brûleur, au coeur de la hotte, bénéficie pour sa combustion du tirage maximum et embrase, grâce à ses ailettes, du centre vers la périphérie, la grille qu'il supporte et le combustible placé au -dessus et sur les cotés. Les combustibles concassés légers profitent d'un avantage particulier : l'empilement de leurs morceaux conserve encore une disposition en forme de dôme plusieurs minutes après la combustion du dispositif. Cette particularité permet de maintenir plus longtemps une auto-ventilation au coeur du combustible; Ventiler manuellement n'est plus indispensable et si l'on ventile malgré tout, le processus de combustion est fortement acceléré. En brûlant, le dispositif ne dégagera pas d'odeurs désagréables :il est composé de fibres de bois et ne comporte pas d'autre charge que de la résine naturelle.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. While burning, the device will not emit unpleasant odors: it is composed of wood fibers and has no other load than natural resin.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il est acheté en prêt-à-monter et qu'il peut être constitué par l'utilisateur à partir d'une plaque de matière inflammable prédécoupée et rainurée (1) (fig.1).With reference to these drawings, 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).
L e dispositif comporte une grille (2) en forme de hotte ajourée, constituée par un ruban de matière inflammable prédécoupé, et un brûleur à ailettes (3) au plan en croix ou en étoile, aux profils triangulaires, pointe en haut, ou tout autres profils dont la base est plus large que le sommet ; le brûleur (3) est centré au coeur de la hotte formée par la grille (2)(fig.5) et lui sert de support, permettant à la grille (2) de ne pas trop se déformer sous le poids du combustible.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.
La matière inflammable utilisée pour la fabrication de la plaque prédécoupée (1), et servant à la construction du dispositif, est un carton, compact et souple, riche en fibres de bois et résines naturelles, produit de préférence à partir de bois résineux. Ce carton ne comporte pas de charges toxiques, comme des colles synthétiques, car c'est la résine qui sert de lien entre les fibres de bois ; Autre avantage : ce type de carton dégage en brûlant une chaleur intense et prolongée et reste incandescent plus longtemps.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.
La grille (2) peut avoir, en plan, n'importe quels contours et découpes pourvu que ses contours et découpes forment un ruban et que ce ruban, une fois développé à la vertical, forme un volume évidé et ajouré dont la base est plus large que le sommet et remplissant la fonction de hotte. La grille (2) peut donc avoir un plan de découpe circulaire (fig.1), elliptique, carré, rectangulaire, cruciforme, étoilé ou autre et constituer, une fois développée à la vertical : un tronc de cône (fig.5), un tronc de cône elliptique, un tronc de pyramide, un tronc de pyramide allongé, un tronc de pyramide cruciforme ou étoilé et tout autre volume à degrés, évasé vers le bas, plus étroit vers le haut.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.
Pour une des variantes préférées, la grille (2) est au départ un disque (fig.1 et fig 4) prédécoupé en spirale ou en cercles concentriques reliés entre eux par un ruban de matière en S (4), en diagonale ou autre, et qui forme automatiquement une grille (2) en forme de hotte tronconique ajourée lorsque ce disque prédécoupé (2), centré sur le brûleur, est développé vers le bas, à la verticale, par l'utilisateur (fig 5).For one of the preferred embodiments, 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).
La grille (2) comporte une trouée centrale (5) dans laquelle vient s'adapter la tête (6) du brûleur (3), cette trouée (5) tend à favoriser le tirage et l'évacuation des fumées lors de la combustion.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.
Pour une des variantes préférées, la trouée centrale (5) de la grille (2) comporte un volet articulé (7) résultant de la découpe partielle de cette trouée et pouvant se redresser à la verticale avant ou pendant la pénétration de la tête (6) du brûleur (3) au centre de la grille (2) (fig.5). Ce volet articulé (7), s'il est bien orienté , protège la flamme d'allumage du vent et sert également , lorsqu'il est en flammes ou incandescent, à mettre le feu aux gaz qui s'échapperaient sans brûler ;ainsi cela évite que le feu s'étouffe et que le carton ne se consume trop lentement.For one of the preferred variants, 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.
Le brûleur à ailettes (3) est constitué d'une seule pièce (fig.2 et 3), à partir de la zone périphérique (3) (fig.1) de la plaque de matière prédécoupée (1); ses profils en U ou en V renversés ainsi que sa forme de croix ou d'étoile sont obtenus grâce à des pliages effectués en creux ou en bosse le long des diagonales et des médianes selon des rainurages préexistants (8 et 9) (fig.1,2 et 3)..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) ..
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le brûleur à ailettes (3) est constitué de plaquettes en U ou en V renversés ou arcs-boutants ou arceaux assemblés en croix ou en étoile, grâce à des encoches, selon un montage mâle-femelle ; ces plaquettes sont tirées des angles de la plaque de matière inflammable prédécoupée.According to another embodiment, 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.
La tête (6) du brûleur (3) comporte des entailles ou encoches (10) permettant l'arrimage en butée ou par encliquetage de la grille (2) au brûleur (3) après intrusion de la tête (6) du brûleur (3) dans la trouée centrale (5) de la grille (2).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).
La tête (6) du brûleur (3) comporte une ou plusieurs trouées (11) dans lesquelles peuvent se loger une ou plusieurs têtes d'allumettes pour la mise à feu.The burner head (6) has one or more holes (11) in which one or more match heads can be housed for firing.
