Apparatus for enhancing the visual effects of a fire and for increasing its heat utilization

摘要

An apparatus for enhancing the visual effects of a fire and for increasing its heat utilization comprising intermediate brackets having rear parts and front parts for removably supporting a mirror in an orientation offset from the vertical within a fireplace behind the fire, the rear parts including outwardly projecting fingers near an upper end and a lower end and a mirror coupled to the front part and formed of a reflective surface selected from the class of temperature resistance reflectors including glass mirrors and polished stainless steel; upper brackets having rear parts and front parts removably supporting a mirror in an orientation offset from the vertical within a fireplace behind the fire, the rear parts including outwardly projecting fingers near an upper end and a lower end and a mirror coupled to the front part and formed of a reflective surface selected from the class of temperature resistance reflectors including glass mirrors and polished stainless steel; and lower reflective components having lower horizontal sheets positionable on the floor of a fireplace, back vertical walls with rearwardly and downwardly projecting fingers near an upper extent and a lower extent of each sheet and a vertical side wall coupled to the edges of the back vertical walls and lower horizontal walls and with a diagonal upper surface thereof, the lower reflective member being formed from a reflective metal selected from the class of reflective metals including polished copper, brass and stainless steel.
