Description

LUXURY SCENTED ARTIFICIAL FIREPLACE LOGS

BACKGROUND

1. Field

This invention relates to artificial fireplace logs; and, more particularly to scented logs.

2. Related Art

Artificial fireplace logs made of compressed or compacted recycled wood fibers and bio waxes are well known in the art. In the past, such logs have been enhanced by added color, pesticides, etc. However, no logs are known which emit a luxurious scent during burning.

SUMMARY

It is an object of this invention to provide a fireplace log made of compressed or compacted recycled wood fibers and bio wax that includes a scented material that gives off a luxurious scent while burning.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 is an exploded view illustrating my invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As seen in Fig. 1 , a log 10 is shown that can be used indoors and outdoors. Scented wax, oil and pellets are added to this artificial log to produce the desired scent when burned. The log is made with 100% renewable resources and burns cleaner than wood. The log may be 6-8 pounds and will burn up to 4-6 hours, the logs herein are all natural materials and create no net increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They produce 22% less carbon emissions than firewood. This eco-friendly fire log is made from recycled wood fibers and bio waxes derived from organic materials. Luxury scented logs do not contain petroleum and are classified for safe use in zero - clearance fireplaces. Most manufacturers have begun to change their product labels and warranty information allowing the use of UL - classified solid fuels, such as dura flame fire logs. Luxury scented logs will meet the highest standard in quality, convenience, reliability and environmental sustainability. Luxury scented logs will be packaged in a branded luxury scented logs box containing 9 logs. Luxury scented logs are not made for wood stoves but only for fireplaces and outdoor use. A fireplace or pit provides a beautiful atmosphere whether it be a luxurious morning, quiet afternoon or an elegant evening at home. Luxury scented logs will enhance any setting with our multiple fragrances. This product will have your home smelling great. The product line can consist of multiple scents like vanilla, caramel, cranberry, green apple, summer breeze, wild cherry, buttered pancakes, cupcake, watermelon, winter mist and your favorite holiday scents, etc. The organic material can be sprayed, soaked and/or oil pellets placed inside. The material is then compacted into a log shape and wrapped in a logo branded paper covering. Light the log and get ready for 4-6 hours of this beautiful scent. Nothing exactly like this exist anywhere.

The UL classification mark will be on the fire log packaging to assure safety classification. Many local air quality officials now recommend manufactured fire logs as a clean burning alternative fuel for residential fireplace use. Manufactured fire logs combine two industrial byproducts, sawdust and petroleum wax, which are mixed and extruded into familiar log like shapes. This manufactured fire log will be wrapped in paper and require no kindling or starting material. This fire log will be available in a wide variety of retail outlets, including supermarkets, drug stores, discount stores, home improvement centers, convenience stores, and other retailers across the United States.

Thus, referring again to Fig 1 , a container 1 1 may be used to hold a soaking liquid sprayed therein from inlet 12, such as a scented oil and wax. The material that will result in the final log is thus soaked in container 1 1 resulting in the scented log 13 when it is finally compressed. This log 13 may be split into 2 parts, log section 14 and log section 15. Multiple fragrant pellets 16 may be added to sections 14, 15 in any suitable well known manner resulting in the final scented log 10. Of course, no pellets need be added since log 10 is already scented.

Any suitable pellets may be used, such as wax pellets that are known in the art, and embedded in such logs by well known processes. Such pellets release material, such as an insecticide, when burned.

The logs may be soaked in a scented solution or the pellets embedded into the logs. Scents may be combined; for example, a log may be soaked in a vanilla scented solution with pellets of a caramel scent embedded in the log.

Although a particular embodiment of the invention is disclosed, variations thereof may occur to an artisan and the scope of the invention should only be limited by the scope of the appended claims. For example, many other types of scents and fragrances may occur to an artisan.
