Abstract

Firelighter of the type consisting of pieces of wood which consist of wax-treated processed wood. The wood employed may be unrolled poplar.

Description

La présente invention concerne un allume-feu, qui peut être utilisé pour faciliter l'allumage notamment d'un feu de barbecue, d'un feu de cheminée, etc. The present invention relates to a fire starter, which can be used to facilitate the lighting, in particular of a barbecue fire, a chimney fire, etc.

On connaît déjà des allume-feu, tels que, par exemple celui qui est décrit dans le document FR-A-2 604 721 et qui est constitué d'un produit combustible comprenant des plaquettes de bois enrobées de paraffine et placées dans une enveloppe. Cette enveloppe comprend un film en polyéthylène délimitant, avant allumage, une poche fermée qui contient les plaquettes de bois. Pour allumer le feu, on place l'enveloppe et son contenu dans le foyer, on enflamme l'enveloppe qui en se consumant provoque l'inflammation des plaquettes de bois. Fire starters are already known, such as, for example, the one described in document FR-A-2 604 721 and which consists of a combustible product comprising wooden plates coated with paraffin and placed in an envelope. This envelope includes a polyethylene film delimiting, before ignition, a closed pocket which contains the wooden plates. To light the fire, we place the envelope and its contents in the fireplace, we ignite the envelope which, when consumed, causes the wood chips to ignite.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un allume-feu qui soit plus simple de fabrication et qui soit, neanmoins tout aussi efficace. The object of the invention is to propose a fire starter which is simpler to manufacture and which is, however, just as effective.

Un allume-feu selon l'invention est constitué de morceaux de bois travaillé et qui ont été paraffinés. A fire starter according to the invention consists of pieces of worked wood which have been waxed.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bois utilisé est du peuplier. According to another characteristic of the invention, the wood used is poplar.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bois travaillé est du peuplier déroulé. According to another characteristic of the invention, the worked wood is peeled poplar.

On a pu constater que les fibres de fragments de peuplier déroulé présentaient comme caractéristique avantageuse de pouvoir être imbibées de paraffine. Du fait que le peuplier ait subi un travail les fibres du peuplier s'en retrouvent étirées, ce qui améliore les qualités de rétention de ce-bois. It has been observed that the fibers of peeled poplar fragments had the advantageous characteristic of being able to be soaked in paraffin. Because the poplar has undergone a work, the poplar fibers are stretched, which improves the retention qualities of this wood.

Contrairement a des fragments issus de peupliers broyés qui présentent des fibres beaucoup plus enchevêtrées, la paraffine ne peut pas venir au coeur du bois et ne peut donc qu'enrober le bois. Unlike fragments from crushed poplars which have much more entangled fibers, paraffin cannot come to the heart of the wood and can therefore only coat the wood.

Ainsi, par cette caractéristique la propriété d'allume-feu de ce produit est optimisée. Thus, by this characteristic the fire starter property of this product is optimized.

Pour fabriquer un allume-feu selon l'invention, les étapes suivantes peuvent être mises en oeuvre:
- Broyage grossier d'emballages fabriqués en peuplier déroulé puis éventuellement extraction des agrafes servant a la fixation entre eux des éléments desdits emballages, afin de former des plaquettes de bois broyees,
- Broyage fin des plaquettes de bois ainsi broyées afin de former des morceaux de bois dont les dimensions moyennes sont environ 5mm d'épaisseur et 30 mm de longueur,
- Trempage des morceaux de bois ainsi préparés dans de la paraffine, par exemple de la paraffine raffinée pour l'alimentation, puis essorage et refroidissement des morceaux de bois paraffinés.To manufacture a fire starter according to the invention, the following steps can be implemented:
- Coarse grinding of packaging made from unrolled poplar, then optionally extraction of the staples used to fix the elements of said packaging together, in order to form crushed wooden plates,
- Fine grinding of the wood chips thus crushed in order to form pieces of wood whose average dimensions are approximately 5mm thick and 30 mm long,
- Dipping the pieces of wood thus prepared in paraffin, for example refined paraffin for food, then wringing and cooling the pieces of paraffined wood.

Les morceaux de bois ainsi traités sont conditionnés pour la vente. Ainsi, en une quantite prédéterminée, ils peuvent être mis dans des sachets de papier. The pieces of wood thus treated are packaged for sale. Thus, in a predetermined quantity, they can be put in paper bags.

Pour utiliser l'allume-feu conforme a la présente invention, on pose quelques morceaux de bois de l'allume-feu de l'invention sur le foyer et on les enflamme. Ces morceaux de bois paraffinés présentent la caractéristique d'être un meilleur combustible que s'ils étaient constitués de peuplier broyé. Ils se consument plus lentement du fait qu'ils sont imbibés, et non seulement enrobés, de paraffine.  To use the fire starter according to the present invention, a few pieces of wood from the fire starter of the invention are placed on the hearth and ignited. These waxed pieces of wood have the characteristic of being a better fuel than if they were made of crushed poplar. They burn more slowly because they are soaked, not just coated, with paraffin.
