Abstract

A solid fuel is made from two materials with different combustion properties - one a container (2) in the form of a box made from a highly inflammable wood that acts as a firelighter, and the other in the form of a solid fuel (1) such as compressed wood discs or half-rounds. Placed in a stove or fireplace on top of screwed-up paper and lit, the box burns quickly and ignites the solid fuel, which burns for a substantial time, providing enough heat for a barbecue after ca. 30 minutes with no need for human intervention.

Description

Combustible solide pour foyer ouvert ou fermeSolid fuel for open or closed hearth

L'invention concerne un combustible solide pour foyer ouvert ou ferme tel que 5 ceux equipant les appareils ou installations de cuisson et/ou de chauffage.  The invention relates to a solid fuel for an open or closed hearth such as those for cooking and / or heating appliances or installations.

L'allumage de feux dans des foyers, tels que ceux d'un barbecue ou d'une cheminee peut poser des problemes aux utilisateurs. En effet, it est souvent necessaire de disposer d'un combustible solide qui, apres combustion, donne to des braises mais egalement d'un element plus inflammable permettant le demarrage du feu, tel qu'un allume feu ou du papier. De plus, la disposition de ces elements dans le foyer est generalement a realiser a la main et une mauvaise disposition peut entrainer un mauvais depart du feu ou une formation heterogene de braises. 15 Un but de !'invention est donc de proposer un combustible solide qui assure un positionnement aise dudit combustible dans le foyer, un allumage facilite et une repartition des braises homogene.  Lighting fires in fireplaces, such as those in a barbecue or chimney, can pose problems for users. Indeed, it is often necessary to have a solid fuel which, after combustion, gives to embers but also a more flammable element allowing the start of the fire, such as a lighter or paper. In addition, the provision of these elements in the home is usually done by hand and a bad disposition can lead to a bad start of fire or a heterogeneous formation of embers. An object of the invention is therefore to provide a solid fuel which ensures a comfortable positioning of said fuel in the hearth, an easier ignition and a homogeneous distribution of embers.

20 Un autre but de la presente invention est de proposer un combustible dont la conception permet une combustion pendant plusieurs heures en !'absence d'une presence humaine.  Another object of the present invention is to provide a fuel whose design allows combustion for several hours in the absence of a human presence.

A cet effet !'invention a pour objet un combustible solide pour foyer ouvert ou 25 ferme, tel que ceux equipant les appareils ou installations de cuisson et/ou de chauffage, caracterise en ce qu'il comprend au moins deux combustibles a proprietes d'inflammabilite differentes, !'un sous forme de contenant, tel qu'une caissette, facilement inflammable a fonction d'allume-feu, I'autre loge dans !edit contenant et se presentant sous forme de combustible solide pour la production 30 de braises de cuisson ou de chauffage, lesdits combustibles formant un bloc combustible pret a I'emploi. L'utilisation du contenant du combustible comme amorce de feu permet de5 faciliter la preparation d'un feu et de disposer un ensemble pret a I'emploi a usage unique apte a bruler pendant plus d'une heure sans necessite de presence notamment humaine pour assurer un approvisionnement regulier en combustible du foyer. L'invention sera bien comprise a la lecture suivante d'exemples de realisation, en reference au dessin annexe representant une vue en perspective d'un combustible conforme a !'invention.  For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a solid fuel for an open or closed hearth, such as those fitted to cooking and / or heating appliances or installations, characterized in that it comprises at least two fuels with heating properties. The other flammability, one in the form of a container, such as a small, flammable, fireproof box, the other contained in the form of solid fuel for the production of cooking or heating, said fuels forming a fuel block ready for use. The use of the fuel container as a fire leader makes it possible to facilitate the preparation of a fire and to dispose of a ready-to-use set ready to burn for more than one hour without the need for a particular human presence to ensure a regular supply of fuel to the home. The invention will be better understood on reading the following examples of embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawing showing a perspective view of a fuel according to the invention.

10 De maniere caracteristique, le combustible, objet de ('invention, comprend au moins deux combustibles 1, 2 a proprietes d'inflammabilite differentes, run sous forme de contenant 2, tel qu'une caissette, facilement inflammable a fonction d'allume-feu, I'autre loge dans [edit contenant 2 et se presentant sous forme de combustible 1 solide pour la production de braises de cuisson ou de 15 chauffage, lesdits combustibles 1, 2 formant un bloc combustible pret a I'emploi. De maniere avantageuse, le contenant 2 est plus inflammable que le combustible 1 solide qu'il contient.  Characteristically, the fuel, object of the invention, comprises at least two fuels 1, 2 has different flammability properties, run in the form of container 2, such as a box, highly flammable lighter function the other contains in the form of solid fuel 2 for the production of cooking or heating embers, said fuels 1, 2 forming a ready-to-use fuel block. , the container 2 is more flammable than the solid fuel 1 it contains.

Dans un mode de realisation prefers, le contenant 2 se presente sous forme 20 d'une caissette en bois tres inflammable. La caissette 2 representee a la figure unique presente des faces laterales pleines afin de maximiser la quantite de bois tits inflammable. La caissette 2 est donc utilisee afin de faire prendre le feu. Les faces superieure et inferieure de la caissette sont formees de lames ou lattes de bois espacees !'une de I'autre. Ces lattes ferment lesdites faces 25 pour empecher le contenu de la caissette de se repandre tout en permettant une circulation d'air, ce qui accelere la prise du feu et son homogeneite. Ainsi, dans I'exemple represents, la face du dessous de la caissette est formee de trois lattes en bois, celle du dessus, de deux lattes en bois. La caissette est de preference assemblee, au niveau de ses parois, au moyen d'organes de 30 fixation, tels qu'agrafes ou clous, plus propres, dans un feu, que de la colle.  In a preferred embodiment, the container 2 is in the form of a very flammable wooden box. The box 2 shown in the single figure has solid side faces to maximize the amount of flammable wood. Box 2 is used to make the fire. The upper and lower sides of the box are formed of blades or wooden slats spaced from one another. These slats close said faces 25 to prevent the contents of the box from spreading while allowing a flow of air, which accelerates the catch of fire and its homogeneity. Thus, in the example shown, the underside of the box is formed of three wooden slats, the one above, two wooden slats. The box is preferably assembled, at its walls, by means of fasteners, such as staples or nails, cleaner in a fire than glue.

De maniere avantageuse, le combustible 1, loge dans le contenant 2, est un bois compresss sous forme de palets ou de demi-lunes, d'un diametre voisin de 80 mm pour une epaisseur comprise entre 15 et 20 mm. Ces palets sont formes par compression de copeaux et sciures de bois, par exemple par une machine a piston. Le bois utilise est de preference du hntre, du chene ou tout autre arbre de la famille des feuillus. Une fois conformes, les palets ou demi- lunes sont places a I'interieur de la caissette 2. Leur disposition est importante pour obtenir une bonne prise du feu et des braises homogenes. Ainsi, le combustible 1 loge dans le contenant 2 est constitue dune pluralite de pieces positionnees pour delimiter entre elles des passages d'air de combustion. Les palets peuvent par exemple etre disposes en quinconce, ('important etant de io delimiter des passages d'air entre les morceaux de combustible. En effet, la circulation d'air ameliore la combustion du bois et favorise la propagation du feu dans la caissette 2.  Advantageously, the fuel 1, housed in the container 2, is a compressed wood in the form of pallets or half-moons, with a diameter of about 80 mm for a thickness of between 15 and 20 mm. These pucks are formed by compression of chips and sawdust, for example by a piston machine. The wood used is preferably oak, oak or any other tree of the deciduous family. Once in conformity, the pallets or half-moons are placed inside the box 2. Their arrangement is important to obtain a good catch of fire and cohesive embers. Thus, the fuel 1 housed in the container 2 is constituted by a plurality of positioned parts for delimiting between them combustion air passages. The shovels can for example be arranged staggered, it being important to delimit air passages between the pieces of fuel because the air circulation improves the combustion of the wood and promotes the spread of fire in the box. 2.

L'allumage d'un feu au moyen d'un tel combustible se deroule de la maniere 15 suivante. Un papier froisse est place dans le fond du foyer. On place la caissette 2, pleine de palets 1 de bois compresse, sur ladite feuille de papier. On allume ensuite le papier, enflammant ainsi la caissette puis les palets ou demi-lunes de bois compresses places dans celle-ci. Des braises satisfaisantes pour realiser un barbecue sont formees en un temps voisin de 30 minutes sans 20 necessite d'intervention humaine pour reapprovisionner le foyer en combustible.  The ignition of a fire by means of such a fuel takes place in the following manner. A crumpled paper is placed in the bottom of the hearth. We place the box 2, full of pallets 1 of wood compress, on said sheet of paper. Then light the paper, igniting the box and then the pallets or half-moons of compresses placed in it. Satisfactory embers for making a barbecue are formed in a time of about 30 minutes without the need for human intervention to replenish the hearth with fuel.

Dans un mode de realisation prefere, le papier utilise comme premiere amorce du feu peut etre fourni avec le combustible, par exemple comme support de 25 publicite ou d'information fixe sur la face du dessus de la caissette. Ainsi, iI n'y a besoin d'aucun autre combustible que ceux fournis par ('invention pour allumer le feu et obtenir des braises. 15  In a preferred embodiment, the paper used as the first fire starter can be supplied with the fuel, for example as a advertising medium or fixed information on the top face of the crate. Thus, there is no need for any other fuel than that provided by the invention for igniting fire and obtaining embers.
