Description
- The present invention relates to fire pits and in particular an outdoor fire pit having a visual effect provided by fire and heating provided by infrared heaters.
- Outdoor features are often provided at vacation and recreation areas to create a congenial atmosphere for guests, vacationers, and visitors to relax together. A fire pit is a particular attractive outdoor feature at winter vacation areas and resorts because the fire provides a visually inviting ambience and the heat given off by the fire provides welcome warmth in a cold climate. Fire pits are also enjoyed in costal areas where cool breezes are common. Unfortunately with increasing energy costs, it is very expensive to use an open fire as a heat source.
- The present invention addresses the above and other needs by providing an outdoor feature which combines a fire feature producing a visual effect with infrared heaters providing heat. The fire feature resides centrally in a framework and at a height providing a visual attraction. The infrared heaters are attached to the framework and provide an efficient heat source for comfort for visitors. The infrared heaters may be positioned below the fire pit to warm the, feet of the visitors, and/or may be positioned above the fire pit to provide a more general coverage. The framework is constructed of a weather and corrosion resistant material to maintain appearance and to reduce maintenance.
- In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided an outdoor feature including vertical supports, a hearth supported by the vertical supports, and a fire feature approximately centered on the hearth. Lower infrared (IR) heaters reside under the hearth and directing heat downward to warm a visitor's feet.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided an outdoor feature including vertical supports, a hearth supported by the vertical supports, and a fire feature approximately centered on the hearth. Upper infrared (IR) heaters reside above the hearth and directing heat downward to warm a visitor's feet. A roof may attached to the vertical supports, and the upper IR heaters may be attached to the roof or to the vertical supports.
- The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following more particular description thereof, presented in conjunction with the following drawings wherein:

The vertical supports12 preferably comprise a pair of spaced apart metal plates, and more preferably a pair of corrosive resistant spaced apart metal plates, or may be concrete columns, however, local construction codes and environmental considerations generally dictate size and material used for structures. Thevertical supports 12 may be constructed from any material suitable for outdoor use, and may be columns, or any structure with sufficient strength to safely support thehearth 24 and theroof 20. Vertical support fill22 comprising an architecturally suitable material may be used to fills the gap between the spaced apartvertical supports 12, and/orIR heaters 30b(seeFIG. 3 ) may reside between the spaced apartvertical supports 12. - The
roof 20 preferably resides onbeams 14 attached to thevertical supports 12, and preferably has acentral opening 24. Theroof 20 and opening24 may be round, hexagonal, octagonal, or of any shape suitable for covering an outdoor feature. Theroof 20 is preferably made from corrosion resistant material which are consistent with local building codes. - The
hearth 24 has askirt 26 for enclosing heating elements and/or fire feature elements. Thehearth 24 preferably is made from stone, metal, concrete, a composite, or similar material. The top surface is preferably between two feet and 4 feet above thesurface 28, and the lowest point of the skirt is preferably between 12 inches and 36 inches above thesurface 28. - A top view of a structure supporting the
roof 20 of theoutdoor feature 10 is shown inFIG. 2 . The structure includes thebeams 14,inner trusses 16, andouter trusses 18. Any structure suitable for attaching to the vertical supports12 (seeFIG. 1B ) and for supporting theroof 20 may be used. The IR heaters may comprise first upper infrared (IR)heaters 30awhich are attached under theroof 20 and direct radiant head downwards towards visitors. TheIR heaters 30amay be attached to thebeams 14, to the underside of theroof 20, or to thetrusses IR heaters 30aare preferably approximately four feet long. The number IR ofheaters 30aor the size of theheaters 30amay be increased or decreased as desired to provide more or less heat to visitors, and the number ofIR heaters 30aon at a particular time may be varied as needed. The IR heaters may also comprise second upper Infrared (IR)heaters 30battached to thevertical supports 12 as shown inFIG. 3 . - A side view of
radiant heat 34afrom theUpper IR heaters 30a(seeFIG. 2 ) mounted under theroof 20 is shown inFIG. 4A , and a top view of theradiant heat 34ais shown inFIG. 4B . Theradiant heat 34ais directed downward toward visitors. - A side view of
