HeatSaver
The present invention relates to an enhanced design of a HeatSaver which improves the effectiveness of your gas fire pit by redistributing the heat laterally towards those sitting around gas fire pit. HeatSaver which is versatile, with leg attachment locations and leg extensions that allow HeatSaver to work in a variety of operating environments. The dish can be tilted to provide more directional heat, raised/lowered to match heating needs, used in a convex or concave fashion, and can act as a cover for your gas fire pit when not in use.
1. An apparatus to redirect heat from a fire pit comprising:
a metal convex dish that sits above the fire pit to laterally redirect heat and/or act as a wind shield;
at least three legs rotatably connected to the metal convex dish, wherein each leg includes:
an upper leg, and
a lower leg, wherein each leg is extendable by using a push button locking mechanism to secure the leg at a desired length:
at least three feet, each foot connected to the bottom of a lower leg, wherein each leg can be independently extended to raise, lower, or tilt the dish.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal convex dish is made of aluminum.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each leg is detachable from the dish, allowing the dish to function as a fire pit cover when inverted.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the push button locking mechanism allows each leg to be adjusted to multiple heights for varying heat direction.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the convex dish is configured to allow the heat to rise initially and then redirect laterally, providing even heat distribution around the fire pit.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dish includes one or more flat edge sections configured to direct heat laterally more effectively.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the upper and lower sections of each leg are telescopically connected to allow for smooth and adjustable extension.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the convex dish is operable in both convex and concave orientations, allowing for heat redirection or acting as a protective cover when not in use.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each leg is secured to the dish via a threaded connector to allow for easy removal and storage.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal convex dish is made of stainless steel.
