Description

[0001] LIQUID FUEL BURNER WITH HANDLEBAR

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The invention relates to a burner for burning liquid fuel, the burner comprising a container for storing liquid fuel. The burner comprises an opening constituting a fuel inlet allowing filling of liquid fuel through the fuel inlet and into the container and an opening constituting a fire outlet allowing fire from burning liquid fuel in the container to be emitted from the container, the fire outlet possible also being the fuel inlet. The burner also comprises a closure for covering and uncovering at least one of the openings constituting the fuel inlet and the fire outlet, respectively.

[0004] Burners for liquid fuel are a normally a safe, easy and reliable way of having a fireplace indoor or outdoor. However, because of the liquid fuel being highly flammable, there is a risk of fire hazards when a user is to fill a burner, or a container for a burner, with liquid fuel. Therefore, most burners have warnings and special tools that the user must use when handling the burner or the container for the burner. However, it's up to the user to read, understand and obey the warnings, and it's up to the user to use the special tools.

[0005] A manufacturer of a burner cannot be sure that the user does so. There is a need for assuring that the user obeys the warnings and uses the special tools, without the doubt of whether user has read and understood the warning and the use of the special tools.

[0006] An object of the invention may be to provide assurance, both to the manufacturer and to the user, that handling of the burner is safe, without risk of fire hazard or other accidents because of warm parts of the burner being touched by the user.

[0007] An object of the invention may also be to provide an easy and reliable way to fill the burner, or a container for a burner, with liquid fuel without risk of liquid fuel being spilled and without warm parts of the burner or the container being touched by the user.

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The objects of the invention may be obtained by a burner for liquid fuel, the burner comprising a handlebar being attached to the container,

[0010] - the handlebar being displaceable in relation to the container between a first position preventing a user handling the container by means of the handlebar, and a second position allowing a user handling the container by means of the handlebar, - the handlebar, when in the second position, preventing the closure from being in the first position, that is, where the opening of the separate fuel inlet is not covered by the closure and

[0011] - the handlebar, when in the second position, maintaining the closure towards being in the second position, that is, where the opening of the separate fuel inlet is covered by the closure.

[0012] A handlebar which the user handles when handling the container of the burner assures that the user by nature will use the handlebar to handle the container and that the user will not touch other parts of the container when handling the container.

[0013] At the same time, because the handlebar displaces the closure to the closed position and maintains the closure in the closed position, when the user handles the container by the handlebar, there is neither a risk of fire still emitting from the container, nor a risk of liquid fuel remaining in the container being spilled during handling of the container.

[0014] Furthermore, because the handlebar is attached to the container and does not constitute a tool separate from the container and that a user must remember to use, the handlebar will by nature be used, because the handlebar already is attached of the container.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the invention, the handlebar is displaceable in relation to the container by a pivotal movement of the handlebar in relation to the container, the handlebar having a handle and at least one lever extending between the handle and the container, and the at least one lever being attached to the container by a hinge.

[0016] A handlebar being pivotable makes the sue of the handlebar easy and reliable to use because there is only one way that the handlebar can be used, that is by pivoting the handlebar between a first position and second position, and where the second position is where the user handles the container for removal from, and insertion into, the burner.

[0017] According to another embodiment of the invention, the at least one lever is capable of interacting with the closure between the open position of the closure and the closed position of the closure, so that when the handlebar is displaced from the first position of the handlebar to the second position of the handlebar, the at least one lever displaces the closure from the open position of the closure to the closed position of the closure.

[0018] A handlebar, where one or more levers of the handlebar are used for displacing the closure to the closed position when the handlebar is displaced to the second position, assures that the closure is displaced to the closed position automatically when the handlebar is displaced by the user form the first position to the second position.

[0019] According to yet an embodiment of the invention, the at least one lever is capable of interacting with the closure by part of a foremost edge of the lever abutting a part of the closure, at least when the handlebar and thus the at least one lever being part of the handlebar is displaced from the first position, and the foremost edge of the at least one lever displacing the closure towards and into the second position of the closure, when the handlebar and thus the lever, is displaced between from first position of the handlebar to the second position of the handlebar.

[0020] The lever has a foremost edge, when the handlebar is displaced from the first position towards the second position by the user. The foremost edge will automatically engage part of the closure, intended for interacting with the foremost edge of the lever, when the handlebar and thus the lever is displaced towards the second position. During interaction, the lever will automatically displace the closure towards the closed position. Ny fire emitting for the container will be put out before the user handles the container.

[0021] According to yet an embodiment of the invention, the closure having at least one first part of an interaction element such as an extension of the closure, and the handlebar, preferably the at least one lever of the handlebar, having at least one second part of an interaction element, such as the foremost edge of the lever, the at least one first interaction part of the closure intended for interacting with the at least one second interaction part of the handlebar, and the handlebar, when in the second position, by interaction between the at least one first interaction part of the closure and the at least one second interaction part of the handlebar, maintaining the closure in the second position of the closure and preventing the closure from displacing to the first position of the closure.

[0022] The interaction means of the handlebar, possible of at least one of the levers of the handlebar, and of the closure are not only used for displacing the closure to the closed position, but is also used for maintaining the closure in the closed position, when the handlebar is in the second position, preventing the closure from displacing to the open position during handling of the container, thus preventing spilling of liquid fuel.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the invention, the burner comprises a hatch capable of preventing access to the handlebar for at least preventing a user removing the container from the cavity of the burner, and - the hatch capable of allowing access to the handlebar for allowing a user inserting the container into, or removing the container, from the cavity of the burner,

[0024] - the hatch being displaceable between a closed position preventing the user handling the container by means of the handlebar, and an open position allowing a user handling the container by means of the handlebar, and

[0025] - when the hatch is displaced from the closed position to the open position, a joint mechanism is operated, displacing the handlebar at least a partly from the first position of the handlebar towards the second position of the handlebar, and

[0026] - when the hatch is in an open position, the displacement by the joint mechanism of the handlebar allowing a user to grab the handle of the handlebar and allowing the user to displace the handlebar to the second position of the handlebar,

[0027] - the user thereby capable of removing the container from the cavity of the burner.

[0028] A hatch of the burner may be used for preventing access to the container, when the hatch is closed, or allowing access to the container, when the hatch is open. In the above embodiment of the present invention, the hatch is also used to assist the user in handling the container by means of the handlebar. A joint mechanism is activated when the hatch is opened and is at the same time interacting with the handlebar to displace the handlebar at least partly towards the second position, thereby allowing a user to grab the handlebar, to displace the handlebar fully to the second position while the container is still in the burner and to remove the container from the burner.

[0029] In the above, the invention is described with reference to a burner including a container with a handlebar for a user to handle the container as described. However, the invention also relates to a container as such, with such handlebar, independent from a burner.

[0030] A container with a handlebar as described with reference to a burner may be a separate item to be sold together with new burners, or a separate item to be sold as a spare part for existing burners, or a separate item sold independently of simultaneous sale of a burner or not, and independently of being a new part or a spare part for a burner. Furthermore, the container may constitute the burner itself, and vice versa.

[0033] Fig. 6 shows the burner with the hatch, and the container handlebar partly raised towards the second position.

[0034] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0035] Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a burner for liquid fuel. The burner has a housing 1.

[0036] Inside the housing 1 a container 2 for liquid fuel (see, e.g., Fig. 2) is placed in a cavity of the burner. Liquid fuel is in the container 2 and when lit, fire emerges from the container 2, as illustrated. The housing 1 comprises a hatch 3, which is slidable sideways (see Fig.

[0037] 5 and 6). The hatch 3 has a transparent part, preferably made of heat resistant glass, so that it's possible to watch the fire inside the housing, even while the hatch 3 is closed.

[0038] Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a container 2 for liquid fuel when the container 2 is removed from the cavity in the burner. A handlebar 6 is attached to the container 2 so that a user by hand, as shown, may remove the container 2 from the cavity in the burner and reinsert the container 2 into the cavity in the burner. The container 2 is provided with safety features incorporated into the handlebar 6 and the closure 5, which will be explained in the following, so that the user cannot fill liquid fuel into the container 2, before possible fire emitting from the container 2 is extinguished, and so that liquid fuel cannot be spilled from the container 2 during a user's handling of the container 2.

[0039] In the embodiment shown, the container 2 has a rectangular configuration, with a bottom (not shown) and sidewalls extending from the bottom. Along a top 4 of the container 2, a closure 5, configured as a lid, is placed displaceable between an open position and a closed position, and vice versa. In fig. 2, the closure 5 is in a closed position of the lid, see also Fig. 4A and Fig. 4B. In the closed position, the closure 5 covers a fire outlet for emitting fire from the container, see fig. 3A and Fig. 3B, and which fire outlet, in the embodiment of the container, also constitutes a fuel inlet.

[0040] The handlebar 6 is attached to the container 2. The handlebar 6 comprises a handle 7 extending laterally across the top 4 and the closure 5 of the container 2, and two levers 8 extending downward from the handle 7 to sidewalls (only one such sidewalls shown) of the container 2. The handlebar 6 is displaceable between a first, lowered position, see Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B, and a second, raised position, as shown in the figure and as shown in Fig. 4A and Fig. 4B. When the handlebar 6 is in the first, lowered position, a user may not and cannot handle the container 2 by the handle 7. When the handlebar 6 is in the second, raised position, a user may handle the container 2 by the handle 7.

[0041] Each lever 8 of the handlebar 6 is attached to a sidewall of the container 2 by a hinge 9 (only one such sidewall and one such hinge shown). The hinges 9 are welded, glued, brazed or in any other suitable manner attached to an outside surface of the sidewall. The hinges 9 are not attached by insertion through the sidewalls of the container 2, thereby eliminating risk of liquid fuel leaking from the inside of the container 2, through the hinge 9, to the outside of the container 2.

[0042] Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B show, in perspective and viewed perpendicular towards one sidewall, the handlebar 6 in the first, lowered position of the handlebar 6. When the handlebar 6 is in the first, lowered position, a user may not and cannot handle the container 2 by the handle 4 when, the container 2 is positioned in the cavity of the burner, see also Fig. 5.

[0043] When the handlebar 6 is in the first, lowered position, the closure 5 is capable of being in an open position, shown by arrow A. In the open position of the closure 5, a fire outlet 10, also being a fuel inlet, is not covered by the closure 5. The fire outlet 10, also being the fuel inlet, is open, and fire may be emitted from the container 2, if fuel in the container 2 is lit, or fuel may be filled into the container 2, if the container 2 needs filling of liquid fuel.

[0044] In Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B, the closure 5 is shown in a fully open position, that is, the closure 5 is displaced as far as possible in the direction of arrow A. When the closure 5 is in the fully open position, the fire outlet 10, also being the fuel inlet, is fully open.

[0045] The closure 5 may be displaced oppositely to the direction of arrow A, in the direction of arrow B, to close the fire outlet 10, also being the fuel inlet, partly, until the fire outlet 10, also being the fuel inlet, is fully closed. Such closing or opening of the fire outlet 10 is needed, while the container is situated in the cavity of the burner, and such closing or opening of the closure 5 is not intended for being performed by use of the handlebar.

[0046] Displacement of the closure 5 from a fully open position towards the fully closed position can be done by a user, with a hand-tool, displacing the closure in the direction of arrow B. Thereby, the amount of fire emitted from the fire outlet 10 is decreased. The user may, with the hand-tool, also displace the closure in the direction of arrow B to the fully closed position, thereby extinguishing the fire being emitted from the fire outlet 10. If fire emitted from the fire outlet 10 has been decreased by displacing the closure 5 in the direction of arrow B, and fire emitted from the fire outlet 10 is to be increased, the user may, with the hand-tool, displace the closure 5 in the direction of arrow A. Thereby, the amount of fire emitted from the fire outlet 10 is increased. Decreasing and increasing fire emitted from the fire outlet, by using a hand-tool, is known per se.

[0047] Fig. 4A and Fig. 4B show, in perspective and viewed perpendicular towards one sidewall, the handlebar 6 in the second, raised position of the handlebar 6. When the handlebar 6 is in the second, raised position, a user may handle the container 2 by the handlebar 6 when the container 2 is positioned in the cavity of the burner, see also Fig. 6.

[0048] When the handlebar 6 is in the second, raised position, the closure 5 is capable of only being in a closed position, shown by arrow B. In the closed position of the closure 5, the fire outlet, also being a fuel inlet, is covered by the closure 5. The fire outlet, also being the fuel inlet, is covered by the closure 5. The fire outlet 10 (see Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B), also being the fuel inlet, is closed, and fire cannot be emitted from the container 2, and fuel cannot be filled into the container 2. When the handlebar 6 is in the second, raised position, the levers 8 of the handlebar 6 maintain the closure 5 in the closed position of the closure 5, and the levers 8 prevent the closure 5 displacing to the open position.

[0049] The closure 5 is provided with an extension 11 on each side of the closure 5, the extensions extending outside the top 4 of the container 2, along which top 4 the closure

[0050] 5 is displaceable between the open position and the closed position. When the handlebar

[0051] 6 is in the raised position where a user may handle the container 2 by the handle 7, the levers 8 of the handlebar 6 interact with the extensions 11 so that the closure 5 is maintained in the closed position and is prevented from displacing to the open position.

[0052] Fig. 5 shows in perspective, part of the burner for liquid fuel as shown in Fig. 1. The burner has a housing, see also Fig. 1, enclosing the cavity of the burner. In the cavity, the container 2 for liquid fuel is placed. A hatch, see Fig. 1, is not shown in Fig. 5 for the sake of visibility of a hatch guide rail 12 for displacing the hatch laterally to the side along the guide rail 12 to open and close the hatch. When the guide rail 12 is in the position shown in Fig. 5, that is, displaced to the right in the figure, the hatch is closed.

[0053] When the hatch is in the closed position, the cavity in the burner cannot be accessed by a user from the outside. The container 2 is placed in the cavity, the handlebar 6 is in the lowered position and the closure 5 is in the open position. Fire from the fire outlet 10, if the liquid fuel in the container 2 is lit, prior to closing the hatch, may be viewed through the transparent hatch, se Fig. 1.

[0054] Fig. 6 also shows in perspective, part of the burner for liquid fuel as shown in Fig. 1 and shows the hatch guide rail 12 for displacing the hatch laterally to the side along the guide rail 12 to open or close the hatch. When the guide rail 12 is in the position shown in Fig. 6, that is, displaced to the left in the figure, the hatch is open.

[0055] The burner has a joint mechanism comprising two lever arms 13, 14 mutually joined by a joint 15 and being attached to the housing 1 inside the cavity. The joint mechanism is operated by the guide rail 12. When the guide rail 12 is displaced to the left during opening of the hatch, the one lever arm 13 of the joint mechanism is raised. The other lever arm 14 of the joint mechanism is operated by the one lever arm 13 and is simultaneously raised. When the other lever arm 14 is raised, the other lever arm raises the handlebar 6 to a partly raised position between the first, lowered position, see Fig. 3A and Fig.3B, and the second, raised position, see Fig. 4A and Fig. 4B.

[0056] When the hatch is in the open position, the cavity in the burner can be accessed by a user from the outside. The container 2 is placed in the cavity, the handlebar 6 is in a partly raised position, the handle 7 is accessible by the user form the outside, and the closure 5 is displaced towards the closed position but being in a partly closed position.

[0057] Because the handlebar 6 is in the partly raised position, a user can grab the handle 7 of the handlebar 6. When the user has grabbed the handle, the user raises the handlebar 6 to a fully raised position, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4A and 4B.

[0058] When the user raises the handlebar 6 to the fully raised position, the closure 5 is displaced to a fully closed position as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4A and 4B, and the user may remove the container 2 from the cavity of the burner.

[0059] Because the handlebar 6 is in the fully raised position, and the closure 5 therefore is in the fully closed position, there is no risk of fire still being emitted from the fuel outlet of the container 2 during removal of the container 2.

[0060] Also, because the handlebar 6 is in the fully raised position, and the closure 5 is in the fully closed position, there is no risk of any liquid fuel still left in the container 2 being spilled from the container 2 during removal of the container 2. And, because the handlebar 6 maintains the closure 5 in the closed position as long as the handlebar 6 is in the fully raised position, see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4A and Fig. 4B, there is no risk of the closure 5 displacing towards the open position.

[0061] Thus, for as long as the user handles the container 2 by the handlebar 6, handling is safe both towards a risk of fire being emitted for the container 2 and towards a risk of liquid fuel being spilled from the container 2.

[0062] For some embodiments of burners for liquid fuel, the liquid fuel is not contained in the container as liquid as such, but is contained in a receptable inside the container, for absorbing the liquid fuel. Such receptable can be ceramic material which is filled into the container, and which is capable of absorbing liquid fuel being filled into the container.

[0063] If the container has a receptable for absorbing liquid fuel being filled into the container, a risk is limited of liquid fuel being spilled when handling the container by the handlebar.

[0064] In such embodiment, the main advantage of the handlebar displacing the closure from a partly or fully open position to the fully closed position is that fire possible emitted from the fire outlet is extinguished before the user removes the container from the burner.

[0065] In the embodiment of the burner as shown, the burner comprises a housing with a cavity and a hatch. In other embodiments, the burner comprises the housing with the cavity, but without the hatch. In still other embodiments, the burner only comprises the housing, without the cavity and but without the hatch. In yet other embodiments, the burner may be the container itself, that is, the container is the burner, and vice versa.
