Definitions

• the invention relates to a fireplace according to the preamble of the first claim.
• Such fireplaces, stoves, stoves or fireplaces are used for heating rooms and for cooking and grilling, have been known for centuries and have a low efficiency in the simplest version, in which the heat is emitted solely by direct radiation. On the other hand, the acquisition costs are very low.
• Various efforts have been made to improve the efficiency or increase the heating output, e.g. consisted in the fact that the heat generated mostly by wood is also used to heat water in central heating systems. This type of heat use is problematic or cumbersome because either the fireplace must always be in operation during the cold season or a second heat source is required.
• the fireplaces are mainly used in the evening to create a festive atmosphere in addition to central heating. It is therefore important that the heat generated is pleasant and not too dry, and that the appearance of the fireplace is attractive. Since the fireplace, as already mentioned, is used to supplement a central heating system, the acquisition costs should be as low as possible, unless the building projects are of a luxurious category, in which the costs do not play a major role.
• the chimneys are normally assembled on the spot from individual parts which the chimney builder keeps in stock and which are manufactured by him or a supplier. To save storage and manufacturing costs, it is important that the number of individual parts is as low as possible Existing fireplaces are not intended to adapt the heat or warm air they emit to the wishes of the user. The air emitted by previous chimneys is therefore often too dry or mixed with smoke from the wood burning, which is particularly unpleasant if the user suffers from a cold or a neck catarrh.
• the heated air In order to breathe in fresh and germ-free air, the heated air should consist largely of fresh air or be treated in some other way. It should therefore be possible by simple means to assemble the heated air predominantly from fresh air, at least periodically, which is also essential for the ventilation of a room. This option is usually not available with conventional fireplaces. On the other hand, in spring it can be important for people suffering from hay fever that the heated air does not contain certain pollen.
• Warehousing is expensive in the case of warm air ovens or fireplaces made from individual parts. On the other hand, it is associated with high costs to produce all parts for a particular fireplace individually, because the unit price then skyrockets.
• the object of the invention is therefore to create a fireplace which, in various versions, consists of a small number of different individual parts which, in various compositions, allows a wide variation in appearance and thus, compared to conventional fireplaces, a large saving in storage. Furthermore, it should be possible for the fireplace to be created to treat the heated air in such a way that it looks fresh and has a favorable moisture content. In addition, it should be possible to mix the air emitted by the chimney with selected fragrances, which can be put together as required.
• the hot-air oven or chimney created in this way is therefore very versatile, in spite of the limited number of individual parts with regard to types of design.
• the chimney is preferably ventilated by means of a ventilation control in such a way that its heat can be distributed evenly and efficiently in the installation room, which prevents overheating of the individual parts of the warm air oven.
• the fireplace supplies warm air with suitable moisture and the desired fragrance, and possibly with medication for treating catarrhs, etc.
• the air used here can consist of a mixture of fresh and room air.
• FIG. 2 is an oblique view of a fireplace according to the present invention, with a high table top,
• FIG. 3 shows a first variant of FIG. 2
• FIG. 4 shows a second variant of FIG. 2,
• FIG. 7 is a schematic side view of a fireplace
• Fig. 8 is a schematic front view of a fireplace
• FIG. 9 is a schematic plan view of a fireplace
• a conventional fireplace is shown schematically in cross section with a connecting shaft to the chimney.
• the chimney comprises a smoke pipe 1 with smoke flap 2, a chamotte 3, a fireplace table 4 with refractory supports 5 and a grate 6, as well as an ash pipe 7 with a closure flap 8 and a removable ash container 9.
• the grate 6 facilitates the lighting of the chimney and / or can also be used for grilling or cooking.
• Below the chimney table 4 there is a cladding 10 and at the bottom a door 11 with an air grille 12.
• a flap 8 is provided under the grate 6 to let the ash through.
• the door 11 is opened, the ash container 9 is removed from the ash chamber 13 and emptied, and the ash residues are removed by means of a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
• a chimney with smoke pipe 1 chimney table 4, grate 6, cladding 10 and a back plate 14 is shown.
• the cladding consists of five plate parts a to e.
• Spaced from the chimney table 4 is an upper cladding 15, the five partial surfaces of which run parallel to the lower plate parts a to e, parallel to the inside.
• Under the chimney table 4 there is an opening 16 to the ash chamber 25 which is closed by a flap.
• the chimney or the cladding 10 is placed directly on the floor.
• the back plate 14 can be made of chamotte, but preferably made of cast iron or another metal, such as copper or titanium. It is also envisaged to design the back plate 14 by an artist, which is numbered in each version and produced in limited numbers.
• FIG. 3 and 4 show two further designs, of which FIG. 3, as well as FIG. 2, is provided for wall mounting, but FIG. 4 is intended for wall mounting with corner abutment. 4 is therefore provided with a wall protection plate 19.
• both figures have three tubes 20, 21 and 22 as well two air inlets or air outlets 23 and 24 at the bottom.
• the pipes 20-22 serve to circulate "the heated air by closing them at the top and / or bottom as required. This makes it possible to transfer the heat stored by the back plate 14 to the To transmit air that flows out as warm air, for example through the outlet 24, while the cold air flows out, for example, through the opening serving as the air inlet 23.
• FIGS. 5 and 6 show chimneys which correspond to those according to FIGS. -3 and 4 with the exception that their bases provided with a cladding 10 are missing.
• This embodiment is suitable for the case where the supply of warm air predominantly takes place at the top and the fresh air supply preferably takes place at the rear.
• FIGS. 7 and 8 each show a schematic front and a similar side view of a fireplace with a base, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
• FIG. 7 and 8 show that the chimney is supported on the floor by feet in the form of screws 28. These screws 28 are screwed into the base or chimney table 4 and are provided with heads which prevent penetration into the floor.
• a support plate 26 for supporting the upper part of the fireplace.
• the back plate 14 is fastened to this carrier plate 26.
• Water containers 27 are provided behind or next to the back plate 14, which can be filled via a water pipe 29 and a water tap 25. 8 that five containers 27 are arranged one above the other.
• the individual containers 27 are filled in such a way that first the uppermost container and then the containers underneath are filled with water, which the container above it cannot hold.
• Fragrant substances or medications can be supplied to the water tank 27 in order to improve the smell of the warm air.
• the warm air is preferably composed of a mixture of fresh and room air.
• Fans and hatches are provided on the tubes 20-22 and on the inlets and outlets 23, 24 in order to direct the warm air into the desired path.
• An automatic, temperature-dependent control can be provided if the air duct is already fixed.
• the fireplace described has the advantage that it consists of very few different parts, which greatly simplifies storage. With a very small number of different parts, it is possible to produce chimneys with very different shapes. This avoids special designs with parts that have to be manufactured individually.
• the standard design includes an attractive space Feuer ⁇ composed of various materials such as masonry, glass, metal, stone, etc. can "confess.
• the warm air insert is designed to accommodate a special rear wall with a specially developed chimney, three-chamber air units, the warm air being drawn off at the top or bottom. can be led.
• the cast plate can be designed by an artist and has tension-free fastenings that are easy to disassemble for cleaning the air ducts. This cast plate is an essential component of the structure of the warm air inserts and can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement.
• cast plates instead of cast plates, other materials can be used, such as titanium, steel plates, soapstone or glass.
• the fall bar is an integral part of the component.
• a standardization of the fastening ensures a variable height, so that the chimney design, the design or the amount of air can be selected within certain limits. Furthermore, an improved air supply and a mounting rail for spark protection are possible.
