A brace is provided to connect the frame and base so as to add additional stability.
Description
- 1) Field of the Invention
- The field of invention relates generally to a firewood rack and more particularly to one that is easy to connect to the ground and transfer between locations.
- 2) Description of Prior Art
- Various firewood racks are disclosed in the prior art for storing cut logs of firewood for use in fireplaces. U.S. Pat. No. 4,971,207 to Baucom discloses a simple basic firewood rack design employing horizontal and vertical tubing elements that would be relatively unsturdy in use.
- Firewood racks when assembled take up substantial space and can become very unstable. See for example, Noll U.S. Pat. No. 5,743,413 and Visneski U.S. Pat. No. 3,021,011. The latter design calls for a rack supported on a wheeled platform employing fasteners for component assembly, and which could damage flooring when wheeled about and, in larger sizes, could be unstable.
- Barnes, U.S. Pat. No. 6,290,073 is more complex than the present invention. The cost of production to make and produce the rack of the claimed invention is much lower. Following the Barnes design, eighteen pieces of tubing would be required along with 16 welds. The danger with the Barnes design is that it can easily fall over under a load of firewood if the user does not put the tubes together properly.
- Therefore, there is a need for a simple firewood rack to hold logs and that is easy to use and transfer between locations and is also very stable when in use. The present invention fulfills those needs.
- The present invention comprises a frame and base to hold the cut firewood logs. Additionally for support, there is at least one parallel cross bar within the frame and a brace connecting the base to the frame. The cross bar and brace support the weight of the logs as they are placed within the frame and stacked initially on the base.
- The key features of the invention are the added stability features that are not disclosed in the prior art. Along the sides of the frame are attached a sleeve and within each sleeve is a nail. The nails provide for an easy attachment to the ground and can be easily taken from the ground when the user desires to move the frame. The sleeve has a hole whereby a winged nut is provided within the hole of the sleeve. The winged nut makes contact with the nail and holds the nail more firmly in place. In this way, the firewood rack of the present invention provides for a much more stable firewood rack than has been previously introduced on the market. Additionally, at the top of the frame is a holding pin. The holding pin allows a user to tie a rope (such rope is not a feature of the present invention) between two frames to better hold the firewood racks in place to further add to the stability of the invention as it is loaded with a lot of firewood.
- The present invention is extremely dependable and results in a very stable firewood rack.
- The invention resides not in any one of these features per se, but rather in the particular combination of all of them herein disclosed and claimed, and it is distinguished from the prior art in this particular combination of all its structures for the functions specified.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved firewood rack that is very safe to use.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved firewood rack at a reasonable, low cost so as to have a minimum number of parts.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved firewood rack that is free standing and can be used in smaller spaced environments such as urban areas.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved firewood rack that has an ability to connect to the ground.
- Another object is to provide a new and improved firewood rack that can be easily transferred from one location to another.
- Another object is to provide a new and improved firewood rack that is very stable when in use.
- Further objects and advantages are to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which are dependable, economical, easy to make, durable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty that characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to accompanying drawings and descriptive matter that is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention.
