Abstract
A fireplace assembly for mobile homes comprising primarily a firebox housing with a means for cooling the firebox and chimney during the combustion of solid fuels by an intake housing of outside air. Means is provided whereby outside air is permitted to enter the immediate area of burning fuel after first passing through a combustion air conduit located below the bottom of the firebox housing.
Claims8
A fireplace assembly particularly suited for use with a mobile home or the like, which fireplace assembly comprises in combination:
- A. a firebox housing secured to an exterior wall and communicating with the interior of the mobile home;
- B. a chimney communicating with the interior of the firebox housing for conducting away the products of combustion formed therein to the exterior of the mobile home;
- C. a continuous annular spacing formed in the walls of said firebox housing and said chimney;
- D. a combustion air intake means connected to said firebox housing for conducting exterior air directly into the interior of a mobile home and thereby inhibiting thermosyphonic aspiration said combustion air intake means including a [first] conduit formed within the lower portion of the firebox housing;
- E. a cooling air intake means connected to said firebox housing for conducting exterior air into said annular spacing for cooling the firebox housing and chimney [said cooling air intake means including a second conduit formed within said first conduit, and thereby inhibiting thermosyphonic aspiration];
- F. a closure means for controlling the passage of combustion air from the interior of the mobile home to the interior of the firebox housing.
