  • Patent number: 7207326
    Abstract: A barbeque assembly including a support structure for a barbeque grill housing that may be easily and quickly assembled. Assembly of the support structure may be completed with few or no tools. The support structure includes first (62) and second support (64) members for supporting the grill housing (74) in a generally horizontal orientation, and a cross beam (66). A manually installable connector (200) is used to manually connect the cross beam (66) at a first end to the first support member (62) and to manually connect the cross beam (66) at a second end to the second support member (64). The first and second support members (62, 64) and connection member (66) preferably form a substantially rigid structure.

  • Patent number: 5983890
    Abstract: A fireplace adapted to heat multiple heating zones of a building, controlled by a control circuit which adjusts the heat input to the fireplace, airflow through the fireplace and ducting of the airflow to the various zones individually in response to a call for heat by thermostats in the zones. The fireplace may also be adapted to provide cooled or circulated air to the zones and may also serve to provide heating to the zones in the event of an electrical power outage. The fireplace is provided with a cabinet having ducts through which air is conveyed by use of a fan to a tube-type heat exchanger, the heat exchanger also in communication with the hot flue gases exiting the combustion chamber of the fireplace. The air heated by the heat exchanger is conveyed to a multitude of fireplace outlets, each of which is provided with a damper which regulates the airflow through the outlet to one of the zones to be heated, depending on whether that zone calls for heat through its thermostat.
