Description

The invention relates to a fireplace insert with at least one storage container for one Fuel with at least one opening, being the reservoir as a liquid container for one liquid Fuel is provided with an at least partially above communicating open vessel is formed, which is at least partially as a combustion chamber for a liquid fuel is formed and wherein the storage container and at least partially vessel open at the top as at least two compartments of a basic container are formed, the separated by at least one partition with at least one opening are.

There is a fireplace insert according to the prior art in one for gaseous Fuel designed device with a cylindrical end piece, at the lateral surface Gas outlet nozzles provided are connected to a gas supply system via a line is. The open fire is caused by the flaring of the exiting through the nozzles gaseous Fuel.

This version has the disadvantage that it is complex Gas supply systems, the high security requirements must be met. Further must be a gaseous one Fuel supply from a reservoir, for example a compressed gas bottle outside of the fireplace to counter explosion hazards. This makes it additional Space required and long gas supply lines. There is also the risk that ignited Gas leaks out in the fireplace or in a room where the Fireplace stands, collects and can explode. The system must be in the Rule for security reasons be installed firmly in the fireplace and is on use for open fire limited.

From the DE 866 380 C. a heating and cooking furnace for liquid fuels is known. If one assumes that the person skilled in the art would use this heating and cooking stove as a fireplace insert, the document teaches the person skilled in the art to provide a storage container for liquid fuels with at least one opening. This reservoir is designed to communicate with a vessel open at the top and serves as a combustion chamber for the liquid fuel. Furthermore, the document teaches the person skilled in the art to design the storage container and the upwardly open vessel as at least two compartments of a basic container, which are separated by at least one partition with at least one opening.

The upwardly open vessel used in the heating and cooking oven is designed as a central cylinder with lateral openings. As from page 1, paragraph 2 the document shows, the open-topped tank is tightly installed in the lower half of the fuel tank. The installation of the vessel, which is open at the top, is difficult because, due to the cylindrical design, work must be carried out very precisely. Furthermore, it is necessary to precisely match the dimensions of the two components (vessel and reservoir open at the top). For the construction of the heating and cooking stove according to the document DE 866 380 C. many individual parts are necessary.

The basis of the invention The task is to provide a fireplace insert that is lightweight is to be produced and in which the required parts are reduced to a minimum are.

This task will be beneficial solved, that what constitutes the vessel Compartment at least partially delimited by a side wall of the basic container is. By this measure a fireplace insert can be made from a few parts, at least a side wall of the basic container has a dual function. On the one hand, it forms the outer wall of the basic container and on the other hand the boundary wall of the vessel which is open at the top. By the use of liquid Fuels such as B. alcohol is compared to the risk of explosion to gaseous Fuels greatly reduced. By providing a storage container the fireplace insert is used to store fuel and the or the fuels or fuel mixtures can be checked in the vessel burn off, leaving the fuel in the the vessel runs on.

Another cheap embodiment of the invention is a fireplace insert in which the partition at least partially as a wall of the vessel and at least partially within the basic container, preferably fold symmetrically or is arranged in the middle. This can e.g. in a barrel-shaped body with one in the middle of opening consist of its top, in the one provided with side holes Fitted vessel is. This fireplace insert thus advantageously forms a compact part.

In a further advantageous embodiment a fireplace insert according to the invention is a bottom of the vessel deeper lying than that of the storage container arranged. This measure can ensure that the fuel from the reservoir is completely in run the vessel and can burn there, so that the reservoir by burning completely the fuel contained therein is emptied.

This embodiment is advantageous in this way executed that the bottom of the basic container a gradient from the reservoir has in the direction of the vessel.

A preferred embodiment of the Invention is a fireplace insert in which the storage container has a pressure compensation opening, which is preferably in the partition above the fuel liquid level is arranged. This measure can when the fuels burn, heated and vaporized fuel emerge through such a pressure compensation opening and with the Flare the flame in the vessel. In other versions can a pressure equalization opening also anywhere else above the fuel liquid level in the reservoir be arranged and e.g. also serve to refill the fuel.

A particularly preferred embodiment is a fireplace insert that at least partially consists of a non-flammable and / or stainless material, preferably stainless steel or enamelled Metal is formed. This measure makes it particularly durable Fireplace insert available posed.

A particularly advantageous embodiment is a fireplace insert, in which parts of the fireplace insert, in particular the reservoir and / or the partition at least partially from a thermal insulating material are formed. Any heat-resistant insulation material, for example filled with glass wool hollow body be used. In this embodiment, the Fuel in the reservoir less heated when the fuel burns in the vessel, which makes one Evaporation of the fuel in the reservoir can be counteracted can.

An advantageous embodiment includes a fireplace insert in which the partition and / or the vessel can be moved, in particular are arranged foldable and / or displaceable. Consequently can, for example, with an arrangement of the storage container the one and the vessel the other side of the partition the size of these two containers can be varied and therefore the size of the fire. The fire can also be started by moving the partition to the one Vessel forming Compartment is practically no longer there, can be deleted or by folding it down the partition so that it closes the vessel.

A cheap embodiment of the fireplace insert the invention is a fireplace insert in which the partition made of metal, fired clay, ceramic, stone, enameled metal and / or one porous Material is formed. This makes particularly durable materials used and the use of an open pore porous material can the openings be formed at least partially as pores.

Another cheap embodiment is a fireplace insert, in which the opening (s) at least partially lockable, are designed in particular with a lid for the exclusion of air. With this embodiment can when closing of the vessel the Flame extinguished in a simple way be, which facilitates easy handling of the vessel.

Another advantageous embodiment of the Invention is a fireplace insert in which preferably open-pore Calls in the vessel and / or in the reservoir are provided. This allows the burning surface in the vessel to vary and be reduced if necessary. Moreover security is increased that the fuel is at least partially in the pores and Deflagration is therefore impossible become.

In a favorable embodiment of a fireplace insert according to the invention, on the fireplace insert, in particular on the top of the storage container ( 1 ) at least one upwardly open, preferably pan-shaped vessel is provided. Preferably, this embodiment can be implemented by continuing the upper edges of the compartment forming a reservoir adjacent to the fuel burning vessel upwardly to form a pan, thereby forming a pan on the fireplace insert. In this embodiment, the fireplace insert can also be used as a grill.

The invention is particularly here Described as a fireplace insert, but can be just as good for others Applications can be used as a fireplace by one Fireplace independent are used, such as a grill, burning lamp or Light source, burner for Cooking pots or fondue pots or teapots, etc.
