Abstract
A heat deflector assembly comprising a hood and at least one support leg for supporting the hood above a fire pit, includes at least one side shield which is attachable to the hood, and configured to cover an open side formed between the fire pit and said hood, for capturing and directing heat generated by a fire lit in the fire pit.
Claims15
A fire pit device comprising:
- a heat deflector assembly comprising:
- a hood comprising a top flat surface and four side edges extending downwards and outwards from the top flat surface;
- four support legs coupled to a bottom side of the hood and configured to support the hood above a fire pit such that the hood covers a top side of the fire pit;
- and
- a side shield removably attachable to the hood, the side shield comprising a top bend portion coupled to a lower sheet portion;
- wherein each of the four support legs is coupled to a bottom side of the hood through a hinge bracket directly coupled to the bottom side of the hood, the bottom side of the hood configured to face the fire pit when the hood covers the top side of the fire pit;
- wherein each of the four support legs are configured to fold towards the bottom side of the hood and lie substantially parallel to the bottom side of the hood when in a folded orientation;
- wherein an entire width of the top bend portion is configured to cover, and lie parallel to the top flat surface and one of the four side edges;
- wherein the side shield is configured to removably couple to the hood over any of the four side edges;
- and
- wherein the heat deflector assembly is configured to capture and direct heat generated by a fire lit in the fire pit.

A heat deflection kit comprising:
- a hood comprising a top flat surface and four side edges extending downwards and outwards from the top flat surface;
- four support legs coupled to a bottom side of the hood and configured to support the hood above a fire pit such that the hood covers a top side of the fire pit;
- a first side shield removably attachable over the top flat surface of the hood;
- a second side shield removably attachable over the top flat surface of the hood;
- and
- a third side shield removably attachable over the top flat surface of the hood, each of the first side shield, the second side shield, and the third side shield comprising a top bend portion coupled to a lower sheet portion;
- wherein each of the four support legs is coupled to a bottom side of the hood through a hinge bracket directly coupled to the bottom side of the hood, the bottom side of the hood configured to face the fire pit when the hood covers the top side of the fire pit;
- wherein each of the four support legs are configured to fold towards the bottom side of the hood and lie substantially parallel to the bottom side of the hood when in a folded orientation;
- wherein an entire width of the top bend portion of each of the first side shield, second side shield, and third side shield is configured to couple over and lie parallel to the top flat surface and one of the four side edges;
- wherein each of the first side shield, second side shield, and third side shield are configured to removably couple to the hood over any of the four side edges;
- and
- wherein the heat deflection kit is configured to capture and direct heat generated by a fire lit in the fire pit out of an open side of the heat deflection kit.

A heat deflector comprising:
- a hood comprising a top flat surface and four side edges angled away from the top flat surface;
- four support legs coupled to a bottom side of the hood and configured to support the hood above a fire pit such that the hood covers a top side of the fire pit;
- a first side shield removably attachable over the top flat surface of the hood and configured to cover a first side of the heat deflector;
- a second side shield removably attachable over the top flat surface of the hood and configured to cover a second side of the heat deflector;
- and
- a third side shield removably attachable over the top flat surface of the hood and configured to cover a third side of the heat deflector, each of the first side shield, the second side shield, and the third side shield comprising a top bend portion coupled to a lower sheet portion;
- wherein an entire width of the top bend portion of each of the first side shield, second side shield, and third side shield is configured to couple over and lie parallel to the top flat surface and one of the four side edges;
- wherein each of the first side shield, second side shield, and third side shield are configured to removably couple to the hood over any of the four side edges;
- and
- wherein the heat deflector is configured to capture and direct heat generated by a fire lit in the fire pit out of an open side of the heat deflector.
