  • the corners 31 formed between the front wall 23 and the side Walls are preferably right angle corners.
  • the inner jacket 17 comprises a front wall 32 inwardly spaced from and preferably parallel to wall 23 to form a space 33 for passage of air from intake holes 34 in the side walls 24 of the outer jacket to outlet holes 35 in the upper ends of walls 23 and 24.
  • Said wall 32 tapers similarly to the taper of wall 23 and extends from the liange-29, to which it is welded, part way toward the top of the fireplace.
  • Said inner jacket has side walls 36 that are spaced from the side walls 24 to accommodate the mentioned air flow which also includes air supplied through intake holes 37 in the lower portions 25 of the side walls 24.
  • the lower portions 38 of the side walls 36 are shaped similarly to the lower portions 25 of the outer jacket.
  • FIG. 4 shows the space 39 and that the same is vertically coex-tensive with the height of the inner jacket. Said spaces 33 and 39 are joined to have a U form, as in FIG. 5. Above the upper end of the inner jacket 17, the same enlarges into a space 40.
  • the side walls 36 and their lower portions 38, of the inner jacket have a lesser width than the side walls 24 of outer jacket 16, the rear edges of walls 36 having inturned anges 41 that are forwardly spaced from the flanges 28 of the outer jacket.
  • the lower edges of the side wall portions 38 are jointed by welding to the flanges 30, and the forward edges 42 of said wall portions are joined by welding to the flanges 28a.
  • the back panel 18 closes off the back of the inner jacket, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 5.
  • Said panel 18 has the same shape as wall 23, but extends from the lower edge of the inner jacket upwardly beyond the upper edge of said inner jacket to a point short of the upper end of the outer jacket, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • Said panel 18 is provided with side flanges 43 that are joined by welding to the inner faces of the walls 24, and the flanges 41 of the inner jacket are joined by welding It will be seen from FIGS. 2 and 5 that an air space 44 is provided rearward of the panel 1S that is open to the mentioned outlet holes 35 in the outer jacket walls 24.
  • the iirebox deflector 19 serves also as a liner that closes the back of the forwardly open firebox 45 that is transversely defined between the wall portions 38 of the inner jacket 17.
  • Said dellector comprises an upwardly and forwardly sloping panel 46 that has at its upper end an upwardly and rearwardly sloping portion 47, and, at the upper end of the latter portion, an upwardly and forwardly sloping portion 48.
  • the forward edge of portion 4S is formed with a concavely formed edge 49 which affords an upper exit opening for the firebox 45 into the space 50 that is defined within the inner jacket 17 and its back panel 18.
  • the hearth 20 is shown as having a flat floor wall 51 with reinforcing lianges 52 around the perimeter of said wall.
  • the flanges 30 of the outer jacket, and the anges 53 on the lower edges of the back panel 18 and the deiiector 19 are joined by welding to the top surface of said wall 51.
  • Suitable air intake openings 54 are provided in said wall in communication with the air space 44.
  • said hearth is provided with a mounting or support member, shown as an angle 55 that, as shown in FIG. 6, is adapted to be secured to the wall 7, as by screws 56.

Gases of combustion in the firebox flow between the edge 49 and the adjacent portion of the wall 32, into the inner jacket, and then through the flue 211 and through any suitable vent extension 61 through the ceiling and a roof thereabove, or, in exposed beam installations, directly through the roof.
  • the top plate 22 is fitted to the upper end of the outer jacket toclose off the spaces 40 and 44 so that air iow is directed through the outlet holes 35.
  • the vent tube 60 extends through said plate which is held in place by welding of its flanges 62 to the inner faces of the jacket walls 23 and 24.
  • the present fireplace is not intended to burn logs, coal or other such fuel. It is intended that the irebox be provided with a ceramic log unit 63 that is supported and preferably permanently secured to the hearth Ztl, and is designed to provide a gas llame that is fed by natural or illuminating gas that is fed through a gas line 64 extending through the hearth.
  • the above-described fireplace is lifted, as by a common auto jack, so that the rear flange 62a of the top plate 22 is raised into engagement with the retention clip 13. While the fireplace is held raised by the jack, the screws 56 are applied to fasten the angle 55 to the wall stud 12. Now, the jack may be removed since the fireplace will be firmly held in place by angle 55 and clip 13. Thereafter the vent extension 61 and the gas logs 63 may be installed, as described.
