[ 5 7] ABSTRACT The disclosure is of a fireplace heat extractor comprising a generally horizontal header to be positioned across the fireplace opening. A blower directs air through the header and an array of tubular air ducts which extend downwardly and rearwardly from the header to function also as a fire basket. The ducts then extend up along the back of the fireplace and forwardly to open outward of the fireplace. A hood and fire curtain assembly is slidably carried on the protruding ends of the air ducts to be adjustably positioned against the front of the fireplace.
4 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures HI 0" amt! FIREPLACE HEAT EXTRACTOR BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional fireplaces are notoriously inefficient as a source of heat inasmuch as a great percentage of the heat merely rises up and out of the chimney. As a result, fireplaces are provided primarily for appearance and decorative effect and other heating systems are generally required. Efforts have been made to utilize the fireplace heat by heating air blown through ducts and out into the room, but such have generally detracted from the ornamental appearance of the fireplace.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of this invention to provide a fireplace heat extractor which may be adjusted to fit neatly and attractively within a fireplace opening.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a fireplace heat extractor which functions jointly as a fire basket.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a fireplace heat extractor which utilizes the heretofore wasted heat while porviding an attractive complement to the fireplace.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a fireplace heat extractor which enhances both the appearance and the heating efficiency of the fireplace.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the description to follow when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In carrying out this invention, I provide a horizontal header which extends from a small blower alongside the fireplace opening, back into the opening and thereacross. An array of hot air ducts open from the header and extend downwardly and rearwardly to form a receptacle serving as a fire basket. From the rear of the fireplace opening, the air ducts extend upwardly along the rear wall of the fireplace and then forwardly across the flue opening to open outwardly of the fireplace. Slidably carried on the forwardly extending portions for adjustable positioning thereon, is a hood and fireplace curtain assembly. Adjustable means are provided to adjust the height of the header and duct array whereby the hood may be leveled just above the fireplace opening and then positioned on the forward extensions until it is flush with the fireplace. The total cross-section area of the air ducts is slightly greater than that of the header whereby the heated air will be projected from the open upper ends efficiently but quietly.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective, partially broken away, showing a fireplace heat extractor embodying features of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation view showing the fireplace heat extractor in place;
FIG. 3 is a section view taken along line 33 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a partial section view taken along line 44 of FIG. 3.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings with greater particularity, there is shown a more or less conventional fireplace 10 including a face 12 of brick or the like, an opening 14 and a rear wall 16 sloping upwardly and forwardly to the flue 18, opening to the chimney.
The heat extractor 10 of this invention comprises a header 22 connected to the outlet duct 24 of a blower 26 by means of a rearwardly directed transition piep 28 which enables the header to be positioned well within the fireplace while the blower 26 is outside. While the header 22 is illustrated as being circular in crosssection, it is apparent that it may be rectangular, or of any other suitable configuration. Connected to open from the rear of the header is an array of tubular air ducts 30 which are formed to slope downwardly from the header; then extend in a generally horizontal disposition toward the rear wall 16 where they bend upwardly at 32 to form a receptacle adapted to function as a fire basket to support fuel burning therein. The array of tubular ducts 30 extend upwardly at an angle generally parallel to the rear wall of the fireplace and finally terminate in forward extensions 34 which open at 36 outward of the fireplace.
The tubular ducts 30 are secured together as by means of reinforcing bars 38 and 40, which unify the overall structure and add considerable rigidity thereto. Extensible legs 42 and 44 secured to the cross bar 40 and the header 22, respectively, support the unified structure 20 and enable adjustment of its height and level.
The distal end 23 of the header 22 is blanked off, whereby air drawn in by the blower 26 is directed from the header, through the air ducts 30 and out the ports 36 into the room. The ducts 30 are heated both by direct contact with the burning coals and, in the forwardly extending upper portions, by the heat rising through the flue 18. I
Preferably the total cross-sectional area of the tubular air ducts 30 is slightly greater than that of the header 22, whereby the warm air will exit from the ports efficiently and quietly without velocity-induced noise. For example, in one embodiment, I employ a header having an internal diameter of 2 /2 inches together with an array of seven air ducts, each with an internal diameter of one inch.
Slidably received on the upper, forwardly extending portions 34 of the air duct 30 is a hood 46. Bearing sleeves 47(FIGS. 3 and 4 welded to the hood 46 around at least some of the openings 48 receive the upper air duct portions 34 whereby the sleeves 47 may be slidably adjusted along the portions 34 and secured in place, as by means of set screws 49. A curtain rod 50 which carries a conventional fire curtain 52, as of steel mesh or the like, is formed in two overlapped sections secured secured to a mounting bracket 54 welded to the middle bearing sleeve 47.
In installation of the device, the header and array are placed within a fireplace opening 14, and the height of the legs 42 and 44 are adjusted to bring the hood 46 to an elevation slightly above the top of the fireplace opening. Then the hood is pushed back into firm engagement with the face 12 of the fireplace to provide a neat, custom-made appearance. An opening 56 may be provided in the screen to accommodate the transition section 28 of the header, whereby the blower is positioned outside and adjacent the fireplace opening 14 with the header itself well within the fireplace.
While this invention has been described in conjunction with a preferred embodiment thereof, it is obvious that modifications and changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.
What is claimed as invention is:
l. A fireplace heat extractor comprising:
a tubular, generally horizontal header adapted to be positioned within and across the lower portion of a fireplace opening;
