Description

The invention relates to a heat protection pad, preferably for use as a grilling pad.In grilling in nature, there is often a risk of fire due to falling-down glut, sparks or hot ash.Against this background, it is an object of the invention to provide a heat protection or grilling support which offers reliable fire protection during grilling or under a firing location in a simple manner.This object is achieved by a heat protection base having the features specified in claim 1. Preferred embodiments are evident from the dependent claims, the following description and the attached figure.The heat protection mat according to the invention is formed as a blanket of a flexible heat resistant material. This ceiling can be placed under a firing location or a grill as a heat protection, for example, and thus protects the ground from glow and sparks, which fall from the grill, for example. On its outer circumference, the ceiling is provided with at least one encircling tension element. This is arranged such that the periphery of the ceiling can be drawn together by pulling on the tension element. In this case, the outer periphery of the ceiling is drawn tightly together via the tension element, so that a bag-shaped structure is created. This makes it possible, for example after grilling, to collect hot coal or ash residues on the ceiling in a simple manner, to contract the ceiling with the tension element and then to transport away and safely dispose of the possibly still hot ash in the ceiling contracted to form a bag. This means that after grilling, the remaining, possibly still hot, ash can simply be poured from the grill onto the ceiling. The ceiling is then contracted at its outer periphery by tension at the tension member, so that the ash is trapped inside the ceiling.Preferably, the ceiling is round and more preferably circular. This enables smooth contraction of the outer periphery. However, it is also conceivable to shape the ceiling in another manner.The tension element is preferably guided through at least one tunnel formed on the outer periphery of the ceiling. Such a tunnel can be created by sewing in the manner of a seam. Preferably, the tunnel can extend over the entire circumference and has a recess at at least one location of the circumference, so that two mutually opposite openings of the tunnel are created, through which ends of the tension element or a section of the tension element are guided outwards. In this region, the tension element or the ends of the tension element can be gripped and pulled. The tension element can thus be pulled out of the tunnel, so that the tunnel and thus the outer periphery of the ceiling is pushed together on the tension element and the outer periphery of the ceiling is thereby pulled together.Alternatively or additionally, the tension element can be guided through a plurality of mutually spaced-apart eyes or loops arranged on the outer circumferential region of the ceiling. Such eyes may be incorporated into the material of the ceiling. Loops could be sewn or welded to the outer periphery of the cover, for example. Such a configuration also makes it possible to contract the outer circumference with the aid of a tension element running around the outer circumference.The tension element is preferably designed as a band or cord or cable. The tension element can form a closed ring which can be gripped at at least one location and pulled away from the outer periphery of the ceiling at this location of the periphery in order to pull the remaining peripheral regions of the ceiling together. Alternatively, the tension element can have two free ends adjacent to the circumference of the ceiling. These free ends emerge, for example, from a circumferential tunnel adjacent to one another and can be gripped in order to be able to contract the outer periphery of the ceiling.According to a further possible embodiment, the tension element is provided with at least one stop element displaceable on the tension element. This stop element can be a clamping element. Preferably, the clamping element is arranged on the tension element where it exits the guide via the outer periphery of the ceiling, i.e. close to a last eyelet or loop or at the end of a tunnel which is formed on the outer periphery. The stop element makes it possible to fix the ceiling in the contracted state after the contraction of the ceiling by the guide of the tension element abutting the stop element. For example, a stop element can be arranged at a free end of the tension element. It is also possible to guide two ends of the tension element or two sections of the tension element through a common stop element.The ceiling preferably consists of a textile material which is preferably provided with at least one coating. The textile material can be, for example, a woven or felt material. The coating can serve to improve the heat resistance of the blanket and / or to prevent moisture ingress into the textile material.The cover can be manufactured from glass fibers, for example, in particular as a glass fiber fabric. Glass fiber fabric is strong and has sufficient heat resistance. In principle, all sufficiently flexible and heat-resistant materials are suitable. For example, a carbon felt could also be used as the material.More preferably, the blanket is coated on at least one side or surface. The cover can be coated with silicone, for example, on at least one side or on both sides. In this way, a smooth pleasant surface is created. Furthermore, the tightness and heat resistance of the ceiling are improved. Alternatively or additionally, the ceiling can be metallic, for example coated with aluminum, on at least one side or surface. For example, the underside of the ceiling may be metal coated, for example coated with aluminum. The metallic material, for example aluminum, can be applied directly to the fabric or else to one or more intermediate layers applied to the fabric. A metallic coating can improve heat protection and reflect heat. Thus, for example, heat can be reflected upward by a coating with aluminum on the underside. In the contracted state, the heat can be reflected inward.In a further embodiment, the ceiling could be formed from a plurality of interconnected layers of material. The material layers can be sewn or glued together, for example. The coatings described above can be applied to different material layers connected to one another or can be formed by the material layers.According to a further possible embodiment, one or more grip elements can be arranged on the outer periphery of the ceiling in order to be able to grip the ceiling. Preferably, two grip elements are arranged on diametrically opposite sides on the outer periphery of the ceiling. In this case, the handles are further preferably arranged on the circumference offset by 90° with respect to the ends of the tension element. In this way, the ceiling can be easily gripped and contracted.The invention is described below by way of example with reference to the attached figure. This shows a schematic plan view of a heat protection base according to the invention.The heat protection base according to the invention has a round cover 2 made of a silicone-coated glass fibre fabric, i.e. the fabric is coated with silicone on at least one side or surface. In addition, the ceiling may be coated with aluminum on at least one side. For example, the blanket 2 may be silicone coated on one side and aluminum coated on the other side. The aluminium-coated side is preferably the side intended for placement on the ground. On the outer periphery 4 of the ceiling 2, a seam or tunnel 6 is formed which extends over the periphery of the ceiling 2 and through which a tension element 8 extends over the entire periphery of the ceiling 2. The tunnel 6 is provided at a location of the circumference with an opening or gap 10, through which the ends 12, 14 of the tension element 8 extend outwards. On the ends 12, 14, outside the opening 10, a stop element 16 is arranged, which can be fixed in a clamping manner on the ends 12, 14.When the tension member 8 is gripped at the ends 12 and 14 and pulled out of the tunnel 6, the periphery of the ceiling 2 on the tension member 8 contracts, so that the ceiling is contracted into a bag. Thus, ash and / or coal on the ceiling can be securely trapped. By means of the stop element 16, which can be a spring clamp, for example, the ceiling can be fixed in its state contracted to form a bag. The stop element 16 prevents the tension element 8 from being pulled back into the tunnel 6. For unfolding, the stop element 16 can be released, for example, by an external force action against a spring.The tunnel 6 could also have more than one opening 10, for example two openings 10 which are arranged diametrically opposite on the circumference of the ceiling 2. so the tension element 8 could be gripped at a plurality of points in order to contract the circumference of the ceiling 2.Instead of leading free ends 12 and 14 of the tension element 8 out of an opening 10, the tension element 8 could also be formed continuously, i.e. as a closed ring, or the ends 12 and 14 could be connected to one another. Then, at the opening 10, a portion of this ring-shaped tension member 8 is gripped and pulled outward to contract the ceiling 2 in a bag shape.In this exemplary embodiment, the cover 2 further has two grip elements 18 on its outer circumference, for example in the form of grip loops. The ceiling can be gripped at this for spreading and also for contraction. The grip elements 18 are situated diametrically opposite one another and are situated offset by 90° with respect to the opening 10 on the circumference of the ceiling 2.List of reference characters2 Ceiling 4 Outer periphery 6 Tunnel 8 Tension element 10 Opening 12, 14 Ends 16 Stop element 18 Grip element
