Abstract
Description
- The patent application claims priority to and herein incorporates by reference Provisional Patent Application No. 61/106,057, entitled “Masonry Structure” and filed on Oct. 16, 2008.
- 1. Field
- The present disclosure is related to the field of masonry structures, and more specifically to factory-built masonry structures.
- 2. Background
- Traditional masonry structures such as fireplaces, countertops, brick walls and other hearth products are constructed by a mason and thus can be expensive. Furthermore, they are built on-site and can require significant time to be completed. Because of the above, in recent years, pre-built fireplaces have become popular. Also, factory built fireplaces are an attractive alternative because they can be installed in multi-level buildings.
- In designing factory-built fireplace, one goal has been to design fireplaces that resemble traditional masonry built fireplaces. For example, recent designs of factory-built fireplaces have incorporated refractory panels. However, such refractory panels, and other similar designs, have been incapable of achieving the desired masonry look. In an attempt to create a better masonry look, designers have added bricks to the firebox areas of the factory built fireplaces. However, such construction designs have shown to be structurally unstable, often falling and breaking, and thus unable to provide an adequate retention of the bricks. Additionally, in such designs, bricks are usually poorly aligned and do not tend to be capable of providing multiple brick pattern arrangements.
- In one aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus includes a panel, a plurality of fasteners, and a plurality of bricks secured to the panel by the fasteners.
- In another aspect of the disclosure, a method of assembling a masonry structure includes arranging a plurality of bricks with a panel, and securing the bricks to the panel with a plurality of fasteners.
- In yet another aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus includes a panel, a plurality of bricks, and means for fastening the bricks to the panel.
- In a further aspect of the disclosure, a fireplace includes a firebox having a plurality of walls defining an area for a fire, each of the walls having a panel, a plurality of fasteners, and a plurality of bricks secured to the panel by the fasteners.
