Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for the application of heat that are structurally adapted to be folded so as to allow for its easy transportation from place to place and more particularly to a novel firebed extinguisher device deployable from a compact storage position into a dome-shaped shell that may be placed as a unitary device over a firebed in order to rob the firebed of oxygen so that any flame, coals, or combustible materials will be extinguished.
  • the present invention provides a plurality of pie- shaped or triangular plates or panels composed of non-combustible material wherein the plates are arranged in a storage position in a nested stack ready for deployment into an operative position where the plurality of plates are fanned outwardly so as to provide a series of adjacent and end-to-end plates in a dome shape. Once deployed, the plates or panels are held together in the operative position by a conventional tightening device, loops, pins, or the like.
  • Each of the respective pie-shaped plates includes an apex through which a locking device is placed not only operating as a pivot for deployment of the respective plates but also, when tightened, provides a means for holding the fully deployed plates in their operable position.
  • the locking device is of a bolt and screw type that may be readily hand-operated for convenience and ease of deployment of the plates.
  • each of the respective pie-shaped plates may include apertures which when registered with apertures of adjacent plates provide a passageway for insertion of a pin that may be employed for maintaining the plurality of plates in either of their deployed positions.
  • the firebed extinguisher is in a dome configuration in its fully deployed position, and the diameter of the dome at its terminating edges is large enough to surround the firebed so that the dome-shaped firebed extinguisher acts as a barrier to prevent oxygen from reaching the combustible materials or coals of the firebed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel firebed extinguisher having a plurality of pie-shaped or triangular-shaped plates that are ganged together at the apex of each of the plates by means of a locking device so that the plates may be deployable into a dome shape and held in this shape by tightening of the lock means.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a firebed extinguisher which completely surrounds and covers the firebed so as to prevent oxygen from reaching combustible materials within the extinguisher.
  • a further object resides in providing a device that may be manually placed over a firebed to prevent oxygen from reaching coals in the firebed.
  • FIGURE 1 is a front perspective view illustrating the novel firebed extinguisher preparatory for deployment over an existing firebed to extinguish flames and prevent oxygen from reaching coals;

  • the firebed is surrounded by a plurality of rocks 13 which serve to maintain heat in the center of the firebed.
  • the firebed extinguisher 10 is lowered over the complete firebed area including the combustible material 12, the heated rocks 13 and the flames 11.
  • the firebed extinguisher includes a plurality of pie- slice-like or triangular-like shaped plates or panels, such as panel 14.
  • the panels are made of metal.
  • the panels which are held together by a screw- type fastening means 15.
  • the extinguisher 10 is illustrated in its fully deployed condition so that the edge marginal regions of adjacent panels are overlapping so as to provide a construction in the form of a dome.
  • the lower edge of each panel is continuous to provide a circumference which is of sufficient dimension to cover the entire firebed.
  • FIGURE 2 Referring now in detail to FIGURE 2, it can be seen that the plurality of panels are fully deployed so that the edge marginal regions of each panel overlaps the edge marginal region of an adjacent panel, such as panel 18.
  • the tightening of the lock fastener 15 is sufficient to maintain the panels in their respective deployed position with or without use of retention pins or the like.
  • Arrow 17 indicates that the panels may be moved about the fastener 15 to deploy or to move the panels into a stored position.
  • the fastener 15 serves as a pivot point about which the panels are pivoted or moved.
  • FIGURE 3 movement of the panel 14 in response to positioning in the direction of arrow 21 illustrates that the panel may be pivoted over the top of adjacent panel 18. Movement of the panel would be for movement into a compact storage position, as shown in FIGURE-5, or may be deployed into the fully operational position, shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • the plurality of panels such as panels 14 and 18, are curved in side elevational cross-sectional view so that they may be readily nested together having a common pivot or attachment point, represented by the fastener 15.
  • Fastener 15 includes a bolt 23 having a threaded shank 24 which is insertably received through each one of the holes in the apex of the respective panels and such a hole is indicated by numeral 25 as seen in FIGURE 7 relating to panel 14.
  • Each of the respective panels is separated from an adjacent panel in the nested stack by means of a washer, such as washer 26.
  • a washer 27 is disposed between the lower end of the knob for fastener 15.
  • a pin 30 may be insertably received through indexed or registered holes along the edge marginal regions of panels, such as panels 14 and 18.
  • the retainer pin 30 is not necessary when the fastener 25 is used to lock or unlock the panels together, the pin 30 may be used to insure that the plates are registered together for full deployment and may also be used in lieu of the lock fastener 15.
  • the same fastener 30 may be used for insertion through indexed or registered holes in all the panels when the panels are arranged for storage. When in this arrangement, the panels are in a compact arrangement that may readily be slid into a case or cover for transport in a backpack, carrying case, or for storage in the trunk of a car.
  • FIGURE 7 illustrates that each of the respective panels, such as panel 14, are curved and include the hole 25 through which the fastener 15 is deployed. Also, the panels may include the hole, such as hole 16, for receiving the retaining pin 30. [Para 30]
  • the firebed extinguisher of the present invention may be readily deployed from a storage position to a fully operative position, as shown in FIGURES 1 and 2, whereby the extinguisher can be placed over an existing firebed to extinguish fire and to prevent oxygen from maintaining coals, rocks or embers from restarting into a flammable condition.
  • the respective panels can be rotated or deployed about the fastener 15 to the fully opened position followed by reversing the closure of the lock fastener 15 to tighten. Once tightened, the panels are maintained in their fully deployed condition.
  • the lock fastener is turned in an opposite direction to release the panels so that they may be individually moved together into a stack for storage purposes. At this time, the fastener lock is then rotated to tighten so that all of the panels are maintained in the storage condition.
  • the present invention has many advantages. It provides a novel method to extinguish a campfire without need for water or other fire retardants; contains sparks and other combustible material that fly from a campfire being extinguished so as not to ignite grass, brush or other flammable material in the vicinity of the campfire; reduces vented smoke, toxics and noxious emissions from a campfire that is being extinguished; is easily transportable in it is compact and collapsed position and readily deployable in little and minimal effort into operative fanned-out position.
