Embodiment Construction

[0029]Referring to FIGS. 1-3, there is disclosed a campfire companion 100 which is a self contained, aesthetically pleasing, heat resistant, potentially solar charged battery driven electric fan blower system that feeds air into the campfire. This campfire companion 100 would essentially be a fan system 1, which includes an electric fan 2 (electric motor connected to fan blades) with appropriate power source and controls), hidden in a naturally aesthetic heat resistant enclosure 4, such as a light weight composite material shaped to look like a natural rock, stack of wooden log(s), etc. This campfire companion 100 would sit on the edge of the fire pit and expel air towards the fire to help ignite the fire and allow the fire to burn at a higher rate offering a more pleasing campfire and the ability to burn wood / charcoal in a sufficient manner for a pleasant campfire experience, or for cooking.

[0030]This campfire companion 100 would be similar to other outdoor systems hidden in natura...

Abstract

A campfire companion of the present invention is a self contained, aesthetically pleasing, potentially solar charged battery driven electric fan blower system that feeds air into the campfire. This campfire companion would essentially be a fan system, which includes an electric fan (electric motor connected to fan blades) with appropriate power source and controls), hidden in a naturally aesthetic enclosure, such as a composite material shaped to look like a natural rock, stack of wooden log(s), etc. This campfire companion would sit on the edge of the fire pit and expel air towards the fire to help ignite the fire and allow the fire to burn at a higher rate offering a more pleasing campfire and the ability to burn wood/charcoal in a sufficient manner for a pleasant campfire or cooking experience.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an apparatus for fanning a campfire, and more particularly to a fan system including an electric fan with appropriate power source and controls, hidden in a naturally aesthetic enclosure which can be mounted on the edge of the fire pit and producing an air flow to enhance ignition of fire.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]When conducting outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, or just relaxing, people enjoy campfires for the ambiance, for warming up, or for barbeque. However, campfires require high quality dry tinder and wood and usually take a substantial amount of time to burn sufficiently to allow cooking to commence, or do not burn with good intensity because the fire itself is limited by the oxygen supply. To overcome these obstacles, a campfire needs to be fanned because fanning can blow airflow (oxygen) into fire which is necessary for ignition / combustion of the fuel, ...
