Abstract

An airflow device for use with a fireplace fire. The airflow device comprises a blower component having a motor driven fan. A tubular element of an air delivery component connects to an outlet of the blower component for supplying additional air to the fireplace fire. The tubular element also connects to a directional element directing the airflow toward a base of the fireplace fire. The airflow is adjustable and positional as needed to enhance the combustion process of the fire.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An airflow device for improving airflow to a fire, the airflow device comprising:
 a blower component; and   an air delivery component in fluid communication with the blower component, the air delivery component comprising a tubular element attachable to the blower component and a directional element extending from the tubular element for directing airflow.   
     
     
         2 . The airflow device of  claim 1 , wherein the blower component comprises a fan. 
     
     
         3 . The airflow device of  claim 2 , wherein the fan is a variable speed fan. 
     
     
         4 . The airflow device of  claim 1  further comprising a support component for elevating the air delivery component. 
     
     
         5 . The airflow device of  claim 1 , wherein the tubular element is rigid, and the directional element is flexible. 
     
     
         6 . The airflow device of  claim 1 , wherein the directional element comprises an outlet. 
     
     
         7 . The airflow device of  claim 6 , wherein the outlet comprises a plurality of orifices. 
     
     
         8 . An airflow device comprising:
 a blower component comprising an inlet and an outlet; and   an air delivery component in fluid communication with the blower component, the air delivery component comprising a tubular element attachable to the outlet and a directional element extending from the tubular element; and   wherein the blower component and the air delivery component are configured such that air entering the inlet of the blower component passes through the blower component and the air delivery component.   
     
     
         9 . The airflow device of  claim 8 , wherein the directional element comprises a flexible body and an outlet. 
     
     
         10 . The airflow device of  claim 9 , wherein the outlet comprises a plurality of orifices. 
     
     
         11 . The airflow device of  claim 10 , wherein the outlet comprises an airflow adjusting element. 
     
     
         12 . The airflow device of  claim 11 , wherein the airflow adjusting element is an adjusting plate that rotates to obstruct some of the orifices. 
     
     
         13 . The airflow device of  claim 8 , wherein the tubular element is flexible. 
     
     
         14 . The airflow device of  claim 8  further comprising a support component for elevating the air delivery component. 
     
     
         15 . An airflow device for improving airflow to a fire, the airflow device comprising:
 a blower component comprising a variable speed fan, an inlet and an outlet; and   an air delivery component in fluid communication with the blower component, the air delivery component comprising an adjustable tubular element attachable to the outlet and a directional element extending from the tubular element; and   wherein the blower component and the air delivery component are configured such that air entering the inlet of the blower component is accelerated through the blower component and the air delivery component.   
     
     
         16 . The airflow device of  claim 15 , wherein the adjustable tubular element adjusts in length. 
     
     
         17 . The airflow device of  claim 15 , wherein the adjustable tubular element is telescoping. 
     
     
         18 . The airflow device of  claim 15  further comprising a support component for elevating the air delivery component. 
     
     
         19 . The airflow device of  claim 15 , wherein the airflow device is battery powered. 
     
     
         20 . The airflow device of  claim 15 , wherein the airflow device is solar powered.
