The main screen assembly includes a U-shaped frame on which is pivotally mounted a screened door. When the screened door is pivoted to an open position on the U-shaped frame, full access is provided to the fireplace or other heating unit in front of which the fireplace screen is situated.

  • Patent number: 5188091
    Abstract: A fireplace enclosure comprising a plurality of glass panels and a plurality of screen panels, with the screen panels being positioned exteriorly of the glass panels. The glass panels are maintained within a frame which is integrally connected to the screen panels. At least one of the screen panels is pivotable to an open position, which permits access to the glass doors, and into the fireplace. The glass doors are also movable relative to the frame, to permit access to the fireplace. A latching mechanism maintains the screen panels in a closed position, which prevents ready access to the fireplace. A removable arch plate is releasably secured to the interior of the frame for the glass panels, and provides a decorative arch, which is seen through the glass panels.
