AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The autonomy of pellet stoves is limited by their pellet storage capacity, requiring frequent refilling, which reduces operational time.
Method used
A supplementary pellet feeding device with a reservoir and coupling sleeve that increases storage capacity by allowing pellets to flow by gravity to the stove's storage bin, featuring a movable valve and sealing gasket for easy refilling and smoke prevention.
Benefits of technology
Extends the operating time of the pellet stove and reduces the frequency of refilling operations by enhancing pellet storage capacity.

Abstract
The invention relates to a supplementary pellet feeding device (12) for a pellet stove (10), characterized in that it comprises at least one reservoir (24) adapted to hold pellets, a coupling sleeve (52) extending from the outlet of the reservoir (24) to a lower section designed to communicate with an inlet port (64) of a pellet stove (10), said inlet port (64) being connected to a pellet storage bin (22) of said stove (10), and a valve (36) fitted to the reservoir (24) and movably mounted between a closed position in which the pellets are retained in the reservoir (24) and an open position in which the pellets can flow by gravity to feed the storage bin (22) of the stove (10).
