Abstract

A firelog burner is provided that includes a base and an artificial firelog support frame pivoted to the base. A pair of non-burning artificial firelogs are removably mounted on the support frame. The base has a fire directing member extending along a back thereof and in an upward direction for directing flame between the artificial fire logs. The non-burning artificial fire logs in the support frame are operably pivoted above the base and toward the flame directing member to raise the support frame and the non-burning artificial firelogs for the insertion of placement of a burning artificial firelog in the base. The firelogs and support frame may then be pivoted in the opposite direction to an operating position.

Claims (26)

1. A firelog burner comprising:

a base and an artificial firelog support frame pivotally mounted on said base;

a pair of non-burning artificial firelogs removably mounted on said support frame;

said base having a fire directing member extending along a back thereof and in an upward direction for directing flame upward toward at least one of said artificial firelogs;

and said non-burning artificial firelogs and said support frame being operably pivoted above said base and toward said flame directing member to raise said support frame and said non-burning artificial firelogs for the insertion and placement of a burning artificial firelog in said base;

said base further including first and second spaced apart legs and a bin operably effective for receiving a burning artificial log, said bin being supported by said legs; and

said artificial firelog support frame includes a pair of downwardly extending flanges, one of said flanges being pivotally connected to one of said legs and the other of said flanges being pivotally connected to said bin.

2. A firelog burner as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

said bin includes a plurality of apertures formed therein, said apertures being operably effective for letting ashes from a burning artificial firelog fall therethrough.

3. A firelog burner as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a handle integral with said support frame and operably effective for facilitating the pivoting of said support frame relative to said base.

4. A firelog burner as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

one of said pair of non-burning artificial firelogs is removably mounted on said first leg and the other of said non-burning artificial firelogs is removably mounted on said second leg.

5. A firelog burner as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

said fire directing member extends upwardly from a rear wall of said bin.

6. A firelog burner as recited in claim 1 , wherein:

said support frame includes a plurality of clips secured thereto;

each of said non-burning artificial firelogs has at least one aperture formed therein;

each of said clips are inserted into one of said apertures thereby removably mounting said firelogs to said support frame.

7. A firelog burner comprising:

a base including an elongated horizontally disposed firelog support frame, said frame having a pair of downwardly turned flanges at one end thereof defining support frame pivots,

a pair of elongated, non-burning artificial firelogs removably mounted to said support frame;

said base further including an elongated burning firelog support floor,

said base further including a fire directing member extending along a back thereof rearwardly of said flow and directed upwardly from said base for directing flame from a burning firelog upwardly toward at least one of said pair of non-burning artificial firelogs, and

said non-burning artificial firelogs and said support frame thereunder being operably pivoted above said base between a burning firelog burning position over said floor and a burning firelog loading position over said fire directing member, wherein said pair of non-burning artificial firelogs and said support frame are pivotable from over said floor to said burning firelog loading position for loading a burning firelog on said floor.

8. A firelog burner as in claim 7 wherein said frame is cantilevered from said pair of flanges.
