| 20110267804 | ELECTRIC FIRE - An electric fire is described. By incorporating a liquid within a container within the fire, it is possible to effect flicker effects on a screen. A flame pattern is defined by selectively illuminating portions of the screen greater than other portions. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20100122480 | APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING AN OPTICAL EFFECT OR FOR SIMULATING FIRES AND SIMULATED FIREPLACES INCLUDING SUCH APPARATUS - Apparatus for producing an optical effect includes a screen comprising at least one electroluminescent material and associated electrodes for exciting the electroluminescent material to emit light. The electrodes are locally excitable so that the regions of the electroluminescent material generally in the shape of flames may be excited. In an alternative form, or additionally, the screen comprises a material of variable opacity such as a liquid crystal polymer or a suspended particle device, gain, electrodes are locally excitable to locally change the opacity of the screen. The screen is locally illuminated to provide the impression of flames. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20090088263 | Electric Fires - The disclosure relates to simulated flame effect fires which include an apertured bed, such as a simulated fuel bed, a vapour generating means such as an ultrasonic transducer and means for providing a rising current of air to carry the vapour through the apertured bed. Light sources are provided below the fuel bed to provide localised illumination. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20080226268 | Simulated Fire Apparatus For Chimneys - A moveable or relocatable structure for providing an optical effect includes casing and an apparatus for providing an optical effect mounted in the casing. The apparatus is preferably a flame effect fire. The apparatus is mounted in an aperture of the casing and a gap is defined between the apparatus and the casing front wall to define an air flow path for entry of air into the apparatus, for example to supply a heater. A frame is provided in front of the apparatus to shield the gap from the normal view of a user. The frame is spaced forwardly from the apparatus and the casing front wall to allow an air flow path between the frame and the casing front wall which communicates with the gap defined between the apparatus and the casing front wall. | 09-18-2008 |
