Burner and pilot protector for horizontal flammability test chamber

摘要

A burner shield (100) for use in a horizontal flammability test chamber (102) is a planar member (120) that contains a stop (126) and a bend (128). A first area (120A) is defined as the area of the planar member (120) between the proximate end (124) and the stop (126), limited to the area of planar member 120 inside chamber 102 by stop 126. The first area (120A) of planar member (120) is inserted through an aperture on chamber (102) so that a substantial portion of first area (120A) covers burner (104) within chamber (102) so that the top surface of first area (120A) accumulates any byproduct (130) and/or prevents it from entering burner (104). The bend (128) is angled downward relative to the horizontal axis of the first area (120A) such that a distal end (122) is substantially aligned with the stop (126) and the distal end (122) abuts or rests against the outside portion of test chamber (102) to stabilize and support burner shield (100) during testing.

1. A horizontal flammability chamber with a burner shield comprising:
a flammability chamber having a door with an outer surface; a burner shield in the form of a planar member with a distal end, a proximate end, a stop disposed on a vertical axis through the planar member to limit lateral movement of the planar member into the flammability chamber, and a bend about a horizontal axis of the planar member; the bend and the stop defining first, second and third areas of the planar member, the first area being the planar member between the proximate end and the stop, the second area being the planar member between the stop and the bend, and the third area being the planar member between the bend and the distal end; the bend being located between the stop and the distal end, and the third area being angled downwards about the bend relative to the horizontal axis of the planar member and aligning the distal end of the planar member with the vertical axis of the stop; and the distal end of the planar member abutting the outer surface of the flammability chamber to limit movement of the planar member on the vertical axis.
