Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A casing is placed in the fireplace and has an ad-justable damper on the rear wall communicating with a source of outside air extending through the rear wall of the fire-place. A shelf extends forwardly from the rear wall of the casing above the damper and terminates spaced from the front wall. An apertured grate engages the open underside and closes same so that air enters the damper into the casing and then flows around the front of the shelf and upwardly through the apertures within the grate to the fire. A pair of detachable and adjustable fuel holding or fuel retaining components hook into the grate at any desired position. The use of the device reduces the amount of air drawn from the room, provides better burning conditions and increases the heat radiated from the fire to the room.

Description
, BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new and useful improve-ments to fireplaces, particularly wood burning fireplaces found in residences.
.,~
,: .
The majority of these draw air for combustion from the room itself and in a well sealed residence or house, the volume of air required by the fireplace when burning, causes . ~
'~ a considerable draft within the room within which the fire-:
~ place is situated and such air is often drawn upwardly through :- 25 the sewer or downwardly through the furnace chimney with de-: trimental results to the operation of the furnace.

.;
., ~
,'' lV~380 Also, the volume of air required, being drawn from the room, prevents the majority of heat from radiating into the -room. Instead it is drawn upwardly through the fireplace chimney and is wasted.
. ~
It is often necessary to open a window within the residence or house when the fireplace is burning and this of course causes a cold draft between the window and the fireplace.
,. . .
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
` The present invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing an external source of air to the rear of the fire-place and furthermore providing an insert which takes advantage of this external air and distributes it evenly through the fire burning upon the grate.
;..... ~
' The present invention can be used instead of the con-ventional grate which is not particularly suited for use with an ';- external air entry inasmuch as air distribution is extremely un- -even.
-; One aspect of the invention consists of an insert for fireplaces which includes a base and a rear wall with a source of external air communicating with said rear wall; said insert com-prising in combination a casing including a base, a rear wall and a front wall extending upwardly from said base, said base main-.....

Another advantage of the invention is to provide a de-vice of the character herewithin described which enables a greater percentage of the heat from the fireplace to be radiated into the room and eliminates the necessity of opening windows thus reduc-ing drafts.
.
Yet another advantage of the invention is to provide a device of the character herewithin described which reduces the drawing of air for combustion from other entries in the house such as the furnace chimney, sewer outlet, and the like.
A still ~urther advantage of the invention is to pro-vide a device of the character herewithin described which is simple .: i in construction, economical in manufacture and otherwise well suit-' ed to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the foregoing in view, and other such advantages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, my invention consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts ,............................. ,l :

' DBTAILED DESCRIPTION
. , ' Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in de-tail, reference should first be made to Figure 1 in which 10 , illustrates a building wall having an aperture 11 formed therethrough communicating from the exterior of the building to adjacent the base of a fireplace 12, the base being indi-:".,, '; cated by reference character 13 and the inner rear wall of i.
the fireplace by reference character 14.
."
Reference character 15 shows one of many means con-nected to the aperture 11 to provide a source of external air to the fireplace and in this embodiment, it includes an elbow conduit having a weather shielding cap 16 on the upper end , .
, .
1~48880 ~
thereof which of course permits air to enter around the cap to the interior of the conduit and thence to the interior of the fireplace.
The device collectively designated 17 is in the form of an insert for the fireplace and comprises a casing or boxing collectively designated 18 and a detachable grate component collectively designated 19 although of course it will be appreciated that the grate can be formed integrally with the casing.
' -; 10 The casing includes a substantially rectangular base 20, a pair of upwardly extending sides 21, a rear side 22 ~ and a front side 23 forming an open topped boxing or casing '~ as clearly shown.
. :
, The upper edges of the sides are turned inwardly to form ledges 24 upon which the grate component 19 rests.
,~
.'.',:
A substantially rectangular opening 25 is formed through the rear wall or the rear side 22 and a substantially rectangular damper component 26 is hinged to the base of the rear side 22 so that when closed, it completely closes the aperture 25 but when opened, allows the aperture to communi-cate with the interior of the casing.
.. :
, -5-. . .
' .
1~48880 A damper control rod 27 engages upon the upper edge 28 of the damper and extends forwardly through the front wall or side 23 of the casing terminating in an upturned portion 29 which enables the damper to be manipulated from the front of the casing.
When installed within the fireplace, this casing sits upon the base 13 and against the rear wall 14 of the fireplace so that the opening 25 registers with the inner .:
~; end of the aperture or conduit 11 communicating with the exterior of the building.
,.
, A shelf plate 30 is supported within the casing and secured to the rear wall or side and to the sides 21 and is .`: substantially parallel to the base 20 and is spaced upwardly . therefrom above the upper side of the aperture 25. This .~.; .
shelf plate terminates spaced from the front wall or side 23 ~ and is provided with an upturned front edge 31 as clearly '~ shown in Figure 2.
., ., ~
.....
This ensures that air entering through the aperture 25, travels forwardly and then over the front edge 31 as indicated by arrows 32.
'~"
', The aforementioned grate component 19 includes the ~ planar portion 33 having dimensions similar to the upper : open side of the casing and resting upon the ledges 24 here-.~ inbefore described thus closing off the upper side of the ., '''',- ' , ,, , ~48880 casing when it is installed thereupon.
The back edge is upturned as indicated by reference character 34 and the front edge is also upturned as indicat-ed by reference character 35. This upturned front edge acts as a partial retainer to fuel which may be upon the upper surface of the plate or portion 33.
., :
i~ This portion 33 is provided with a plurality of apertures 36 which in this embodiment are circular. How-ever other shaped apertures may of course be provided and these apertures permit air to pass upwardly through the apertures and through the fuel situated upon the grate when in use.

flows forwardly and over the front lip 31 of the shelf 30 ;.:
and is distributed through the apertures 36 and passes upward-1~ through the fuel to the conventional fireplace chimney 42.
, ~- The use of this device enables the wood to burn more completely, eliminates smoking by providing a good source of :
