Smoke Chamber Sealing Method and System

Abstract

The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is a non-solely-cement method and system of sealing Smoke Chambers. Material such as metal, plastic, glass, composite, and/or any other material suitable for smoke chambers can be formed into the layers that seal smoke from going to where it is not supposed to go. One of many designs can involve installing metal walls on the inner walls of a smoke chamber, these metal walls would last much longer than cement and would be easier to work with considering the difficulties of parging a smoke chamber.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention is in the field of Chimney and Fireplace.

2. Discussion of the State of the Art

In the field of Chimney and Fireplace, the smoke chamber is extremely important. The smoke chamber must be sealed so that smoke does not leak to where it should not go. Presently, sealing a smoke chamber consists of “parging”. Parging is using parging cement to create a solid layer which is intended to seal the smoke chamber.

There are numerous problems with the parging technique. One problem is that parging is ineffective. There is a saying: There are two types of cement, cement that's cracked and cement that's going to crack. Parging cement eventually cracks and must be redone, while in the meantime between cracking and being redone; smoke leaks out of the smoke chamber. On top of this, the act of parging the smoke chamber is extremely burdensome. It is uncomfortable, when working on a chimney that is already built, the worker must sit inside the fireplace and raise a trowel with cement through a small hole, the damper, and apply the cement against the walls of the smoke chamber to seal the smoke chamber. Cement often falls down on the worker, even hitting their face and going down their shirt. The damper is also often rusty and sharp, which can cut the worker's arms. Parging is also extremely tiring because there is very little leverage. Using parging cement can also result in injury because breathing in the material is not healthy.

Therefore, what is clearly needed is a system which eliminates the burdensome task of parging a smoke chamber with only cement. A system such as this would make smoke chamber sealing much easier, more comfortable, and more effective as a whole.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The problem stated is that sealing a smoke chamber with parging cement is both difficult and ineffective. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is a term which, in this patent, is used to represent possible embodiments of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Method and System, the invention of this patent. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device, the invention of this patent, can be installed into a smoke chamber in order to provide better sealing abilities than cement. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is made of longer-lasting material than cement, such as metal, plastic, glass, composite, and/or any other material which could be used in the environment of a smoke chamber, so it can last much longer and thus seal a smoke chamber far more efficiently. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is also easier to work with than solely cement. Essentially, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be described as: wall(s) that seal the smoke chamber. For example, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be made of four metal walls which prevent smoke from escaping the smoke chamber. A metal wall will last much longer than cement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The inventor provides a unique system and unique method for sealing a smoke chamber. The present invention is described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a frontal view of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 when the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 is inside of a smoke chamber 4. Above the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 and the smoke chamber 4 is the chimney 2 and below is the fireplace 3. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 can consist of four, non-solely cement, walls made of any proper material for a smoke chamber. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 can also consist of both more and less walls in number as well as rounded walls and/or any other number and/or type of, non-solely cement, wall that the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 could use. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 can be installed with any proper material for a smoke chamber. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's purpose is to exist as a better sealing alternative to solely cement in a smoke chamber. It is both easier to install and works better as material such as metal lasts longer than cement. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be installed in an existing smoke chamber and/or in a new smoke chamber. Between the smoke chamber 4 and the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 is an adhesive 15. Any kind of adhesive, that is proper for a smoke chamber, can be used. The purpose of the adhesive is for the installation of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device in the smoke chamber. Within the chimney 2, there is a possible alternative use of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1. Within the chimney 2 there is one type of design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. This design shows walls 14 attached to the interior-perimeter of the chimney flue by adhesive 15. There can be multiple reasons for installing the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device in a chimney flue. One such reason could be to have greater heat protection in certain places, however in this scenario the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device, the invention of this patent, is not the invention of a Chimney Liner. In the example of existing in a chimney flue, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device does not claim anything which would violate the claims of another patented invention.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 inside a smoke chamber 4. Above the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 is a chimney 2 and below is a fireplace 3. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 can consist of four walls made of any proper material for a smoke chamber. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 can also consist of both more and less walls in number as well as rounded walls and/or any other number and/or type of, non-solely cement, wall that the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 could use. In FIG. 2, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 is shown to have a flexible wall 17 in its design, the flexible wall 17 allows the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device to be installed and function with more ease. Any design which bends can be made during manufacture, one such design can be similar to that of corrugated pipe in that it has the capability of bending.

FIG. 3 is a view of a curved-design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 in a smoke chamber 4. Above the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 is a chimney 2 and below is a fireplace 3. This curved-design contains curved walls 19 which meet at piece-meetings 8. Utilizing a curved-design can be beneficial in certain circumstances, such as circumstances in which a curved-wall design allows for an easier installation. The manufacture of a curved-wall design can be accomplished by numerous methods, including shaping a metal sheet into a curved design which can fit in certain dimensions.

FIG. 4 is a view of one design with multiple pieces which can be assembled. In this design, each of the four walls of a Smoke Chamber Sealing Device in a hypothetical 4-wall smoke chamber are made of smaller walls. The view of FIG. 4 is one side of a Smoke Chamber Sealing Device composing three walls 14 that are assembled and meet at piece-meetings 8. These walls are held together by bolts 5 and metal connecting-pieces 6, such as brackets, through which the bolts 5 go via holes in the brackets and holes in the separate walls 14 that make up the side of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device.

FIG. 5 is a view of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 with a round-transition 7. The round-transition 7 allows for easier installation into certain kinds of smoke chambers and can be more versatile in terms of installation in a smoke chamber with surrounding structures, such as a chimney. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 is located in a smoke chamber 4, above this is a chimney 2 and below is a fireplace 3. The design of this view can be utilized with numerous other designs, allowing the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device to be far more versatile.

FIG. 6 is a bird's eye view of one possible design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1. This design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device includes a wall 14 on each side. The center of the figure is closer to the viewer in depth than the outmost area of the figure. This structure is installed into the smoke chamber in order to seal the smoke chamber and prevent smoke from going to where it should not go. The holes 10 on each wall 14 allow for the use of many methods of installation, such as using bolts or screws and/or brackets. Normally, holes would be placed near the edges of each wall, but the design can allow for holes to be placed in other areas, such as near the center of each wall. The walls 14 meet at piece-meetings 8.

FIG. 7 is a bottom-up view of one possible design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1. This design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device includes a wall 14 on each side. The walls 14 meet at piece-meetings 8. The center of the figure is further from the viewer in depth than the outmost area of the figure. The center of the figure, the furthest point from the viewing perspective, is rounded in this design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. The rounded aspect 20 of this view can allow for easier installation into, and more precise fitting in, certain smoke chambers.

FIG. 8 is a close-up view of one possible method of connecting the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's walls together in certain designs. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device piece-meeting 8 in the middle of the figure is represented by a vertical line, on each side of the line is a wall 14 of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. The hexagon figures represent nuts with bolts (nuts with bolts represented by 9). The horizontal rectangle surrounding the two nuts and bolts is a metal connecting-piece 6, such as a bracket, which the bolts go through via two holes, one hole for each bolt. Each bolt goes through both the metal connecting-pieces and each Smoke Chamber Sealing Device wall 14. The metal connecting-piece 6 with no bolts, below the metal connecting-piece 6 with nuts with bolts 9, shows how a one metal connecting piece can look without nuts and/or bolts, the holes 10 of this metal connecting-piece 6 are where bolts can go through in this design. By utilizing designs in which multiple pieces can be assembled, the invention is much more versatile and effective. One benefit of a design composing multiple pieces which are assembled is in terms of transportation, in which such a design can take up less space when pieces are neatly packaged to minimize volume.

FIG. 9 is a close-up view of one possible method of connecting the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's walls together in certain designs. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device piece-meeting 8 in the middle of the figure is represented by a vertical line, on each side of the line is a wall 14 of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. The hexagon figures represent bolts 5. The horizontal rectangle surrounding the two bolts is a metal connecting-piece 6, such as a bracket, which the bolts go through via two holes, one hole for each bolt. Each bolt goes through both the metal connecting-pieces and each Smoke Chamber Sealing Device wall 14. One important benefit of a design composing multiple parts which are assembled is that certain parts can be replaced if necessary, this means that an entire Smoke Chamber Sealing Device does not necessary need to be replaced if one section in damaged.

FIG. 10 is a close-up view of one possible type of round-transition 7 that the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 can have. This figure represents the top of this Smoke Chamber Sealing Device design, the round-transition 7 is rounded in order to fit into a chimney flue more easily. This design can exist on the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device but does not necessarily need to. By having a transition into a chimney, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can more effectively prevent smoke from escaping a smoke chamber.

FIG. 11 is a close-up view of one possible type of rectangular-transition 11 that the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can have. This figure is the transition 11 itself. This figure represents a bottom-up perspective in which the center of the figure is closer to the viewer than the outmost parts of the figure. A transition can be a hole, a damper, and/or any transition that could be safely used. In between each wall 14, in this design, is a sealant 16. In this design, the sealant 16 is used to seal in between each wall 14 of the transition as well as the top and bottom of the transition. This method of installation can also make the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device easier to install.

FIG. 12 is a view of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device where the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 comprises both flat and rounded sides. This particular figure represents a side-view. Above the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device 1 and the smoke chamber 4 is a chimney 2 and below is a fireplace 3. The wall 14 (term used to refer to flat walls) and the curved wall 19 are both used in certain circumstances where it is necessary to use both. The wall 14 and curved wall 19 meet at the piece-meeting 8. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be designed having straight sides, rounded sides, and/or any other design of side which can be used to fulfill the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's purpose. By comprising both flat and rounded sides, this design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be more easily installed in certain smoke chambers which would necessitate such a design in order to properly seal the smoke chamber.

FIG. 13 is a close-up view of one possible method of helping to seal the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device and/or of making the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device-piece edges less sharp. For the purposes of description, if this figure was divided into two parts, one would be the straight part on the left and the other would be the curved part on the right. The straight part on the left is composing, in this figure, a wall 14 on each side of insulation 18, making this design of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. The walls 14 and insulation 18 then curve and become rounded on the end, in this figure it is called the curved-edge 12. By making a curve in the edge of wall 14, handling the walls 14 becomes significantly safer because it is less sharp in certain places. A curve in the edge of the wall can also allow for a greater amount of sealant to be placed when the edge of one wall is put on top of the edge of another wall provided that there is space between the two curved-edges, this design allows for even better sealing quality. Having multiple layers and including insulation in the design can make the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device more effective, this is because the material lasts longer in time, allowing fewer cracks over long periods of time. Any insulation used must be suitable for a smoke chamber.

FIG. 14 is a close-up view of one possible method of sealing the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device and/or of making the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's individual piece-edges less sharp. For the purposes of description, if this figure was divided into two parts, one would be the straight part on the left and the other would be the circular part on the right. The straight part on the left is, in this figure, a wall 14. This wall 14 then has a circular part attached to the end, in this figure the circular part attached to the end, the circular part on the right, is a rubber-cap 13 which can be used to make the edge less sharp as well as for other purposes such as helping to seal the walls, of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device, together. The rubber-cap 13 is attached by adhesive 15. In terms of sealing, when the edge of one wall with a rubber-cap is placed on top of the edge of another wall with a rubber-cap, if space is maintained between the rubber-caps then sealant can be added to the space, which can provide better sealing quality. Any rubber used in the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device must be safely suited for smoke chambers.

The problem stated is that sealing a smoke chamber using only parging cement is both difficult and ineffective. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is a non-wholly cement structure which can be installed in a smoke chamber, lasting longer and being easier to work with. Instead of being made of solely cement, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be made of metal, plastic, glass, composite, and/or any other material which could be used in the environment of a smoke chamber. Sealants such as silicone, as long as they are suitable for a smoke chamber, can be used in the installation process of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. If cement is used in the installation process of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device as a sealant, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device still improves the art of sealing smoke chambers, since less cement is used for sealing which leaves less area which can crack as cement does, when compared to before the invention of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device. The method of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is to use a non-wholly-cement structure to seal a smoke chamber that is being constructed and/or completed, for example a four-wall system made of solid metal on each of the four walls of a four-walled smoke chamber example. The system of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be a standard size and/or customizable size. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is an invention which can be designed as close-fitting to the walls of the existing and/or newly created smoke chamber and/or designed as not close-fitting to the walls of the existing and/or newly created smoke chamber. The shape of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be anything which is able to safely complete the task, such as a four walled box-like structure, with openings at the bottom and top of the structure, which can and/or cannot funnel smoke to the chimney. The material used replaces cement by sealing the smoke chamber without the need for cement, one example is using a metal wall sealed with silicone instead of a cement layer. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be sealed to the top and/or bottom of the smoke chamber and/or any other part of the fireplace/chimney structure as a whole. In terms of walls of the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device, walls can comprise one component, before installation into a smoke chamber, or multiple components, before installation into a smoke chamber. If the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's walls are one component, before installation into a smoke chamber, or if the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's walls are multiple components, before installation into a smoke chamber, then the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can be installed with any material that could be used, for example screws, bolts, rivets, nails, as well as connecting-links, hinges, snap-ins, click-togethers, glue, tape, welding, silicone, caulk, cement, and any other material that could be used. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device both can utilize and/or does not need to utilize any transitions and/or differently shaped sections of the structure as a whole that are necessary and/or not necessary in the installation into and/or existence in a smoke chamber. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device both can and does not necessarily have to contain curved-edges, rubber protectant, and/or any other material which can and/or cannot connect the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device's walls, if the walls are multiple components before installation into a smoke chamber or if walls are one component before installation into a smoke chamber, together and/or reduce sharpness and/or fit pieces together and/or perform another function which connects pieces and/or helps to seal the smoke chamber. The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can also have curved, flat, and/or round components and/or any other combination of formation.

This invention introduces the ability to seal a smoke chamber far more effectively than with only cement. Longer lasting materials, such as metal, can be formed into shapes, such as walls, that create a layer between the smoke and the smoke chamber. The result is a more effective way of sealing smoke chambers. Any kind of installation components, such as screws, bolts, hinges, or any other installation component, that is used to hold walls of the invention together, can be installed anywhere on the walls that suits the design, for example near the edges of the walls. The use of insulation is also included in this invention, the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device can use insulation in many designs. One possible design which uses insulation is a design in which multiple layers of metal contain insulation between each layer, this can help the Smoke Chamber Sealing Device manage the intense heat within a smoke chamber. In one example of manufacture, pieces of metal, walls, can be made in the same way that sheet-metal is made. The result of manufacture is a non-solely cement structure which can seal a smoke chamber. The best mode of this invention is for the purpose of sealing a smoke chamber. The best mode can be accomplished by placing a wall of sheet metal on each of the walls of a smoke chamber. The sheets can be kept in place by any proper method, such as cement between the sheet metal and the wall of the smoke chamber or silicone that is suited for a smoke chamber. The four sheets of metal can then be fully sealed in the smoke chamber by any proper method, such as silicone, that is suited for a smoke chamber, or cement.

It will be apparent to one with skill in the art that the smoke chamber sealing method and system of the invention may be provided using some or all of the mentioned features and components without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It will also be apparent to the skilled artisan that the embodiments described above are specific examples of a single broader invention which may have greater scope than any of the singular descriptions taught. There can be many alterations made in the descriptions without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
