Abstract
Abstract As thin, elongated box-like burner (10) for holding liquid fuel has slotted openings (11) along its top for the flame and platforms (12) attached at the top and bottom for supporting imitation, noncombustible logs above and in front of the burner with a fuel storage chamber (17) behind the burner and a conduit (18) for conveying the fuel from the storage chamber (17) to the burner (10) with the storage chamber (17) being tilted to cause the fluid to flow to the burner (10). Wicks (22) are provided in the burner (10) to assist in igniting the fuel and enhancing the burning characteristics.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A simulated log burning fireplace, comprising: a wide, thin, box-like burner means for containing liquid fuel having slotted openings on its top side for a flame when the fuel is ignited; a first platform located above and at least in part behind said burner means for holding a noncombustible artificial log; a second platform located at the bottom of and extending forward from said burner means for holding another noncombustible artificial log; a storage chamber for liquid fuel located behind and displaced from said burner means; and means connected between said burner means and said storage chamber for conveying liquid fuel from said storage chamber to said burner means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A simulated log burning fireplace, comprising: a wide, thin, box-like burner means for containing liquid fuel having slotted openings on its top side for a flame when the fuel is ignited; a first platform located above and at least in part behind said burner means for holding a noncombustible artificial log; a second platform located at the bottom of and extending forward from said burner means for holding another noncombustible artificial log; a storage chamber for liquid fuel located behind and displaced from said burner means; and means connected between said burner means and said storage chamber for conveying liquid fuel from said storage chamber to said burner means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device as described in claim 1 wherein said means for conveying fuel to said burner means is a closed conduit; and said storage chamber is normally tilted frontward to cause fluid to flow from said storage chamber to said burner means through said closed conduit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
The device as described in claim 3 further including a backing member extending upward from about the rear of said first platform at a location to keep the artificial log on said first platform at least partly over the burner slotted opening such as to simulate actual log burning.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The device as described in claim 2 further including a filler tube for said storage chamber extending frontward from said chamber, the attachment of the filler tube to the storage chamber being located above the attachment of the closed conduit to the storage chamber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The device as described in claim 5 wherein the filler tube is attached near one side and the closed conduit is attached near the other side of said storage chamber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device as described in claim 6 wherein the storage chamber is also tilted downward from the one side toward the other side.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
The invention as described in claim 7 further including wick means extending downward from a top opening in said burner into the fuel contained in said burner for igniting the fuel and for aiding in keeping it burning.
