Description

The present invention relates to the field of

  heating of premises, in particular of living quarters

  by means of visible heaters

  closed, and relates to a home to be inserted in a

  mine with an existing fire

retractable waterproof connection.

  Currently, visible fire heaters can essentially be arranged in two

  groups, namely open fireplaces and chimneys.

  exposed open fire. The chimneys of the first group, however, generally have only one

  low heat output compared to those of the se-

  cond group, which work almost like stoves and can present a very close aesthetic

first.

  For reasons of fuel economy and efficiency improvement, there is currently a

  tend to provide fireplaces with chimney stoves

  green of a closed hearth with a visible fire to be inserted into the said

open hearth.

  Some of these insert fireplaces are mounted

  freely in the existing chimney without

  and connected to the existing flue

  both by means of a flexible hose. However, in a

  In such a case, the household must have a

  much smaller than that of the existing fireplace in order to allow a correct connection of the

  a flexible pipe. Such a focus is known from DE-C-70340.

  It is also planned to mount fireplaces, the smoke of which is evacuated directly into the drain of the existing chimney, either in a frame previously masonryed to the external dimensions of the fireplace, or in

  using the fireplace as a support and template for the

  Bullshit. However, this mode of inserting a fireplace

  in an open fire requires work

  relatively long and costly preparations, a bricklayer

  previously carried out being difficult to

  to kill, especially because of the need to obtain

  sides perfectly perpendicular any deviation that may have adverse consequences when placing

  in place of the fireplace and requiring additional adjustments.

  level, depth and center of gravity. In addition, in the case of use of the fireplace to be inserted as sup-

  port for masonry, the dismantling of the said hearth

  comes very difficult, if not impossible to achieve.

  GB-A-2 096 309 discloses such a fireplace to be inserted into a

  existing open fire, incorporating a

  tif of setting up and sealing. But this device makes it very difficult to completely remove the fireplace from the existing chimney, because it is not provided

  of any device rendering it removable by simple

  ment. US-A-4 191 162 relates to a fireplace intended to be fixed in a wall opening, but is also not provided with a device making it removable by simple:

  sliding. In addition, this last focus presents a

  large height above the hearth, neigh-

  requiring a significant height of passage as a result

  quence for its introduction into the existing hearth, thereby reducing the height of the visible opening of the inserted hearth, the substi

covered by a waterproof covering.

  According to other embodiments, the insert insert is simply provided with a covering, which

  surrounds and closes the open spaces of the existing fireplace.

  A tight connection of such a covering with the insert insert and the existing fireplace, however, leads to

  difficulties of realization almost insurmountable, no-

  especially to ensure the tightness and therefore the safety of the user. In addition, in all cases, a total removal of the fireplace to be inserted from the existing chimney, with a view to

  a home repair or possible use of

  the said chimney, for example in half-season, is not possible without major redevelopment work

of the latter.

  In addition, when using fireplaces with

  Finally, known outbreaks of this type do not allow

  do not attempt to connect to a flue

  of a pipe in a simple and fast way and without any im-

  bearing of useful surface of the visible part of the hearth.

  The present invention aims to overcome

these disadvantages.

  It concerns, in fact, a household with

  into an existing open fire, characterized by

  se in that it is provided with a retractable waterproof connection device, which is essentially constituted

  by a frame for receiving and guiding the fireplace with

  and by a sealing element of the

  turn of the upper part of the smoke outlet of the fireplace to be inserted and connected to a connection pipe to

a flue.

  The invention will be better understood thanks to the

  description below, which relates to a way of

  preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example,

  and explained with reference to the schematic drawings of

  nexés, in which: Figure 1 is a side elevation and sectional view of the fireplace according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a half-view in section and front elevation of the connecting device, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view in detail.

  a means for adjusting the sealing element.

  According to the invention, and as the

  in particular, by way of example, the

  Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, the fireplace to be inserted into an existing open fire is provided with a retractable waterproof connection device, which consists essentially of a. frame 1 for receiving and guiding the insert 2 and connection hearth,

2 6 1 4 3 9 9

  and by a sealing element 3 around the periphery of

  the upper part of the smoke outlet 4 from the fireplace to

  2 and connect to a branch pipe at

a flue.

  The chassis 1 is advantageously constituted by

  an assembly of uprights and profiled crosspieces

  aunt, of which two profiles of the base are in the form of angles 5 guiding the base of the fireplace insert 2, and whose profiles forming the front face of the frame 1 are also in the form of angles and are applied by their wing against the edge of the opening of the existing chimney. Thus, a perfect guidance of the fireplace 2 is ensured during its implementation, thanks to the angles 5 and angles defining the front of the frame 1 allow a perfect recovery of the perimeter of

  the opening of the existing chimney.

  The sealing element 3 around the periphery of the upper smoke outlet 4 of the insert 2 is advantageously mounted pivotably on the rear part of the frame 1 by means of tabs 6.

  essentially consists of a framework for

  on the smoke outlet of fireplace 2, equipped with a

  peripheral sealing gasket 12, by an 8

  lidar of the frame 7 by welding, by a nozzle 9 of

  rope to a branch pipe, provided with a valve

  of draw adjustment, and by means 11 of

  adjustable from element 3 to chassis 1 and

to the fireplace to insert 2.

  Thanks to this embodiment, it is possible

  to insert the connecting device into an open fire whose height of the opening of

  fireplace is less than the height of the device in

service.

  Each means 11 of adjustable holding of

  element 3 is advantageously constituted by a set

  of adjustment rods 13 and support 14, which

  is articulated by one end, by the connecting rod of

  to a cross member of the frame 1 (Figures 1 and 3), the biel-

  adjusting lette 13 having a length less than that of the support rod 14 and being connected thereto, near its end opposite the lug by means of a bolt 19 passing through the rod 14 and an oblong hole 16 of said end , the rod 14 being further provided, at its end corresponding to the articulation to the tab 15, an open guide slot 17 surrounding the axis 18 of articulation to the tab 15. Thus, the position of The application of the element 3 to the insert to be inserted can advantageously be adjusted, before mounting in the fireplace hearth 2, by means of the rod assemblies 13 and 14 by simple adjustment of

  between them, by sliding, then

  by the bolt 19, the free end of the biel-

  14 is fixed to the corresponding cross member of the frame 1. After this adjustment, simply remove the end of the rods 14 fixed on the sleepers and retract the element 3 inside the frame 1, by tilting, then to mount the device in the fireplace of the existing chimney, to pivot the element 3 in its service position and to fix it in this position

  by the means 11, to provide the nozzle 9 simultaneously with

  hose, to slide the firebox 2, on the brackets 5, into the device until its upper part 4 carries

  against the seal 12 of the element 3.

  The assembly of the flue pipe is particularly

  easy because it can be accessed through the nozzle 9 and the free space corresponding to that of the focus

to insert properly.

  In order to ensure a correct maintenance of the firebox 2 in the frame 1 and against the element 3, the firebox 2 is

  attached to the element 3 by at least one screw 20 (Figure 1).

  According to another variant embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the means 11 can also be made in the form

  telescopic elements which can be locked in position

between them.

  Thanks to the invention, it is possible to realize

  a fireplace insert into an existing open fire, with a retractable watertight

  existing fireplace surface as an opening surface

  insert, while ensuring a simple and efficient connection of the fireplace to a flue

  way of a pipe. In addition, the embodiment

  form of the invention allows a simplified sweeping and

  pide, by simply removing the fireplace 2 from the chassis 1.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to

  embodiment described and shown in the drawings

  the accompanying. Modifications remain possible, especially from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements, or by substitution of technical equivalents, without leaving

  for all that the field of protection of the invention.
