An insulated conduit composed of an inner structural tubing with each length or bend of said tubing having a bell socket at one end with a matching spigot joint at the other end, and so arranged that one is enabled to assemble comparitively long continuous lengths of the insulated conduit. Resting blocks are placed at appropriate position and distances within the inner structural tubing whereby energy carrying piping may be inserted within the inner structural tubing and rest upon said blocks. The energy carrying piping is protected from loss of heat energy by the insulative value of the ambient air within the inner structural tubing and also by the inclusion of inert air spaces located between a series of structural ribs which form a support between the inner structural tubing and an outer insulation jacket. The outer insulation jacket having annular tongue and groove matching configurations at the ends combined with a system of wire anchors which are incorporated for making easily formed joints being moisture resistant and thus protecting the inner energy carrying piping from corrosion and heat loss. The use of a binding material such as wire is employed to hold continuous lengths of the insulated conduit together during installation.

Insulated conduit

A device designed to extract heat from a fire or flames, and by the principle of conduction and convection channel this same heat into the desired or required area or system. The principle used is to immerse the structural members which are formed from materials which are good conductors of heat and resistant to deterioration or destruction by the temperatures found in fire, heat, or flames and have the structural members provide the heat where so desired. The structural members may be of solid construction throughout or they may be fashioned from hollow members with a gaseous or liquid type conductor or convector of heat of the heat pipe type within the same structural members. As the portion of the structural members contained in the fire absorb heat, this heat will be conducted to where it is desired by the aforementioned principle of conduction or convection. There is an air deflection system composed of two parts, one of which is the cooking plate and the other the curved deflector surface. The cooking plate which is capable of being latched in an angular position serves as an air deflector when in that position, but when the latch is released and the cooking plate laid flat on the structural members, enough heat may be obtained for the purpose of cooking or other use. The air deflector plate may be curved or flat, metallic or glasseous in nature and may be selectively positioned from tightly against the fireplace opening to a multitudinous number of positions to effectively act as an air shield or barrier thereby preventing the selective portion of warmed or unwarmed room air from entering the fireplace.

Cooking grate

This is a new and unique machine which organizes older, recognized and established methods of handling objects and machinery into a more economical, efficient method by recombining articles of present day usage into a new concept. An ordinary conventional automotive hydraulic jack is used to replace the fixed jacking arrangement found on machines of this type. The use of a threaded screw mechanism working in conjunction with a moveable trolley arrangement makes it easier to handle a load and makes it possible for this machine to accomplish comparable results in the handling of objects and machinery as was formerly required by two different and distinct machines.
