Portable incendiary apparatus
Abstract
A portable incendiary apparatus. The apparatus may include a combustible container having an interior; a separator dividing the interior into a plurality of burn chambers; and, flammable contents contained within at least one of the burn chambers. The apparatus may include flammable contents; and, a combustible, substantially planar member holding the flammable materials and defining at least one extension positioned with respect to the materials so as to promote ignition of the flammable contents upon ignition of the apparatus. The apparatus may include a combustible container; a separator dividing the container into a plurality of burn chambers and partially extending from the container so as to facilitate ignition of the apparatus; and, at least one container extension for promoting ignition of the at least one firelog upon ignition of the apparatus and facilitating transporting of the apparatus.

18 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising at least one air vent in at least one of said panels.
19 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said panels comprise:
two side panels; a bottom panel; two end panels; and, at least one vent aperture in each said end panel; wherein, said container further comprises a plurality of corner apertures each adjacent to a side panel, bottom panel and end panel.
20 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein at least two of said panels form a flag.
21 . The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein said flag comprises a handle aperture.
22 . The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein said flag is of sufficient height so as to resist rapid burning.
23 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein said flag is at least approximately 3″ tall at a lowest point, and approximately 5″ tall at a highest point.
24 . The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein said handle aperture is at least approximately 1″ from each edge of said flag.
25 . The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein an upper edge of said flag is die cut into a flame pattern.
26 . The apparatus of claim 25 , wherein said flame pattern is approximately 1¾″ tall.
27 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein said flame pattern comprises two tapered ends.
28 . The apparatus of claim 27 , wherein each of said tapered ends ramps at a different rate.
29 . The apparatus of claim 20 , further comprising means for partially securing said at least two of said panels to form said flag.
30 . The apparatus of claim 20 , further comprising at least one fastener partially securing said at least two of said panels to form said flag.
31 . The apparatus of claim 20 , further comprising at least one adhesive partially securing said at least two of said panels to form said flag.
32 . The apparatus of claim 31 , wherein said adhesive partially securing said at least two of said panels to form said flag is food grade.
33 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising at least two of said panels extending from said container so as to promote ignition of said flammable contents upon ignition of said apparatus.
34 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising at least one wick extending from at least one of said panels.
35 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of wicks each extending from a corresponding one of said panels.
36 . The apparatus of claim 34 , wherein said wick is integrally formed with said separator.
37 . The apparatus of claim 35 , wherein said wicks are integrally formed with said separator.
38 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said contents comprise fire logs.
39 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said separator forms at least three burn chambers and said contents comprise six firelogs.
40 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said contents are selected from the group consisting of: petroleum products, natural firelogs, artificial firelogs, sawdust, paper, leaves, grasses, coffee grounds and combustible gels.
41 . A portable incendiary apparatus comprising:
flammable contents; and, a combustible, substantially planar member holding said flammable materials and defining at least one extension positioned with respect to said materials so as to promote ignition of said flammable contents upon ignition of said apparatus.
42 . The apparatus of claim 41 , further comprising a wick extending from said member to facilitate ignition of said apparatus.
43 . The apparatus of claim 42 , wherein said wick divides said contents into a plurality of burn chambers.
44 . An apparatus for transporting and facilitating ignition of at least one firelog comprising:
a combustible container; a separator dividing said container into a plurality of burn chambers and partially extending from said container so as to facilitate ignition of said apparatus; and, at least one container extension for promoting ignition of said at least one firelog upon ignition of said apparatus and facilitating transporting of said apparatus.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
