  • Patent number: 9999566
    Abstract: A lid solution of a sauna stove, in which the lid is formed of a lid plate (43) that covers the sauna stove and is made of glass and of a lid frame (44) that positions outside the sauna stove. The lid plate (43) of the sauna stove is broader than an outer mantle (20) of the sauna stove and the frame (44) moves the lid plate (43) through protrusions of the lid plate (43). When closed, the lid plate (43) is on its own weight on top of the stone drum or outer mantle (20) of the sauna stove. The frame (44) is a profile that is open from the front or side and the lid plate (43) of the sauna stove is replaceable without tools by pulling out an old lid plate and pushing in a new in replacement.
