Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multi-purpose portable structure, and particularly but not exclusively to a portable structure which can be transformed from a food warmer to a lighting lamp, and vice versa.
- Outdoor lighting and heating devices which can irradiate heat or light such as to heat and light the areas adjacent to the source of heat itself.
- Devices of this type make it possible for example to stay outdoors in low temperatures, and to make the best use throughout the year of outdoor working spaces, such as the outside of bars, hotels, restaurants, discotheques, gardens and terraces .
- heater devices usually use either liquid fuels, such as naphtha, diesel or the like, or gaseous fuels, such as methane, PG, etc.
- the heating capacity can range from 8000 cal/h (9.3 KW) for gas, up to 5,000,000 Kcal/h (5814 KW) both for gas and liquid fuels, in the various forms and types of installatio .
- these devices have the disadvantage of having heavy weights and large dimensions, and therefore of being difficult to move.
- Portable devices which can heat food and dishes, and can light limited spaces, and are used particularly by campers, usually being provided with a small cylinder which contains a liquid gas, or being supplied electrically with power of approximately 500 Watts, such as to make the device itself moderately useful.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a portable multi-purpose structure which, as well as fulfilling the functions of a food warmer in a first configuration, is also designed for lighting in a second configuration.
- the portable multi-purpose structure which comprises a hollow base containing a fuel cylinder, the said hollow base being connected to a hollow rod, the said hollow rod having in its free part a burner which is provided with a valve, this valve being provided with an activation control which can regulate a flow of fuel from the fuel cylinder to the burner, the said burner having a diffuser which can generate a combustion space, and is characterised in that it comprises interchangeable accessories which can be connected to the said burner such as to act as a lamp or as a food warmer.
- the innovative invention is easy to transport, it makes it possible to create an area for the preparation of drinks such as coffee or tea in any location, in an extremely simple manner and without any constraints.
- the innovative invention since the innovative invention is multipurpose, it also permits transformation from a food warmer into a lighting lamp and vice versa, by means of simple and intuitive assembly operations.
- figure 1 shows a lateral view of the present invention
- figure 2 shows a first configuration of the present invention
- figure 3 shows a second configuration of the present invention
- figure 4 shows a view in cross-section of the invention in figure 3
- figure 5 shows a plan view from above of the invention in figure 3.
- 1 indicates as a whole a portable structure 1 provided with a base 2 which is connected to a rod 3.
- this rod 3 has a burner 4 which is provided with a regulation valve 5.
- this rod 3 is coaxial relative to a shelf 6 which acts as an object-holder surface.
- the base 2 is hollow, and defines a space such as to permit accommodation of a cylinder 7 which contains either liquid fuels, such as naphtha, diesel or the like, or gaseous fuels, such as methane, LPG, etc.
- liquid fuels such as naphtha, diesel or the like
- gaseous fuels such as methane, LPG, etc.
- rod 3 is also hollow, such as to put this cylinder 7 in fluid connection with the said burner 4.
- valve 5 Since the valve 5 is provided with an activation control 8, it is possible to regulate the flow of fuel from the cylinder 7 to the burner 4.
- the fuel passes through a diffuser 4a, and can thus generate a combustion space (not illustrated in figures 1 - 5) , the gaseous or liquid fuel being finely sprayed, together with the correct quantity of air necessary in order to obtain the combustion.
- figure 2 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which it can be noted that the combustion, which is obtained by means of the burner 4, and the intensity of which is regulated by the valve 5 by means of the control 8, is utilised by a baffle-plate element 9.
- This baffle-plate element 9 is a protection device which can define a combustion chamber 10 in which the combustion space can be diffused and the surrounding area can be lit.
- the baffle plate 9 is provided with a plurality 11 of superimposed annular elements which are closed at the top and are concentric, with development which faces downwards; these superimposed annular elements 11 being provided with lateral slots 12 such as to protect the combustion chamber 10 against external atmospheric agents.
- the structure 1 acts as an outdoor lamp, and is easy to transport, and thus to move to the points to be lit.
- the invention is shown used in a different configuration of usage, in which it can be noted that the combustion, which is obtained by means of the burner 4, and the intensity of which is regulated by the valve 5 by means of the control 8, is utilised by a burner 13.
- This burner 13 is provided with a flame-trap nozzle 14 with a circular shape, and with a plurality of support elements 15.
- the flame trap 14 is used to reduce and regulate the combustion space generated by the burner 4.
- the support elements 15 are in the form of an inverted tripod, i.e. they have a form which consists of a triangle made of iron or of another heat-resistant material, with three supports or feet.
- These supports 15 branch out from the rod 3 towards the exterior of the structure, and are advantageously provided with grooves 16 which can engage with the base of the pot to be heated.
- both the lamp and the food warmer are connected to the burner 4, for example by means of fast connections of the thread, bayonet, or snap-on type.
