Sealing element for a built-in fire

The invention relates to a built-in fire, comprising a fire chamber that can be closed by a closing element movable in the fire chamber. The invention relates more particularly to a gas built-in fire or a built-in fire on wood or coal.

Built-in fireplaces, also referred to as cassettes, built-in stoves or inserts, are heating or atmospheric fire devices that are installed behind a wall, so that the device is hidden from view, so that only the closing element or window door with edge remains visible.

There are hundreds of models on the market, with either wood, coal or gas as fuel. Because built-in fireplaces are closed by a window door, they distinguish themselves from fireplaces. For the smoke extraction, fireplaces on wood or coal are always provided with a chimney. Gas built-in fireplaces can optionally be provided with a chimney, but can also be manufactured in a hermetic version. The latter then have a line for the supply of fresh air and a line for the discharge of the flue gases.

To date, all known devices have been provided with a window door with frame, which in a first embodiment can be built flush with the wall with a similar or lying window door, or in a second version can be built in behind a wall with a deeper lying panel. window door. The second embodiment can sometimes be provided with a lift system through which the window door can be pushed upwards.

In order to clean the rear of the window door, all known devices can be provided with a device through which the window door can be opened to the outside. By placing hinges on the side, for example, the window doors can be turned to the left or to the right.

Due to the present framework and / or frame around the glass, these known devices have the feature that the size of the window glass is always smaller than the niche opening in the wall.

For aesthetic reasons, modern architecture wishes to build in the fireplaces as sleek, sober and minimalist as possible and the aim is to reduce the window door to the essential. The known devices, however, have the disadvantage that part of the frame always remains visible.

The object of the invention is to provide a built-in fire in which the opening in the wall is reduced to the size of the window and in which the frame (frame) around the glass is no longer visible and in which it is still possible to view the rear of the window. to clean the glass.
