The present disclosure claims priority under 35 United States Code, Section 119 on the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/088,462 filed on Aug. 13, 2008 the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSUREThe present disclosure generally relates to fencing systems, and more particularly to a fencing system for a campfire.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSUREOccasions such as parties, get-togethers, vacations, and other social gatherings are typically inseparable parts of peoples' lives. These occasions are generally equipped with campfires, which are enjoyed by attendees at these occasions. In such occasions, the campfires may project a threat to the security of children and pets, as a child or a pet may move close to the campfires without being cognizant about the damages the campfires may cause to them.
To keep children and pets away from the campfires, people have been using conventional fences around the campfires. However, the conventional fences are quite inconvenient to use due to their bulky and complex structural configuration. Further, the conventional fences are expensive and are difficult to set up around the campfires. Furthermore, the conventional fences are not easy to transport from one place to another due to the bulky and complex structural configuration.
Accordingly, there exists a need for a system used for fencing a campfire, such that the system is light weight, simple in structural configuration and inexpensive. Further, there is a need for a system for fencing the campfire that is easy to set up around the campfire and is portable.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSUREIn view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the prior art, the general purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a system for fencing a campfire, and to include all advantages of the prior art, and to overcome the drawbacks inherent in the prior art.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a system for fencing a campfire, such that the system is of light weight and have a simple structural configuration.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a cost effective system for fencing a campfire.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system for fencing a campfire that is convenient to use and is easy to set up around the campfire.
To achieve the above objects, in an aspect of the present disclosure, a fencing system for a campfire is provided. The fencing system includes a plurality of holding members, a plurality of posts and a plurality of fencing members. Each holding member of the plurality of holding members includes a base member and a lip extending upwardly from a portion of the base member for defining a cavity between the base member and the lip. The plurality of holding members is adapted to be placed on a surface around the campfire. Further, each post of the plurality of posts is adapted to be disposed vertically into the cavity of the each holding member of the plurality of holding members. Furthermore, each fencing member of the plurality of fencing members is disposed horizontally between a pair of posts of the plurality of posts and the each fencing member is removably attached to the pair of posts.
As disclosed, the fencing system includes the plurality of holding members, the plurality of posts and the plurality of fencing members. The plurality of holding member, the plurality of posts, and the plurality of fencing members are simple in structure and are made of durable material, thereby providing the fencing system that is light weight, cost effective, and simple in structural configuration. Further, such simple structural configuration of the fencing system facilitates users to conveniently set up the fencing system around the campfire. Furthermore, as the plurality of holding member, the plurality of posts, and the plurality of fencing members are removably attached with one another, the fencing system is rendered portable.
This together with the other aspects of the present disclosure, along with the various features of novelty that characterized the present disclosure, is pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forms a part of the present disclosure. For a better understanding of the present disclosure, its operating advantages, and the specified object attained by its uses, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
The advantages and features of the present disclosure will become better understood with reference to the following detailed description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like elements are identified with like symbols, and in which:
Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the description of several views of the drawings.

The holding member 104 includes a base member 110 and a lip 112. The lip 112 extends upwardly from a portion 114 of the base member 110 and defines a cavity 116 (shown in
Additionally, as shown in
Further, two pairs of fencing members 108 are shown in
The longitudinal bars 108a may be removably attached to the pair of posts 106 at appropriate portions of the pair of posts, such that the longitudinal bars 108a may preclude any unwanted entry to the campfire 102. Accordingly, the longitudinal bars 108a may be connected to top and bottom portions of the pair of posts 106 and are adjustable on the pair of posts 106. As shown in

The fencing system 200 is similar to the fencing system 100 (of
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the fencing member 208 of the fencing system 200 comprises the lattice 208a. The lattice 208a may be disposed horizontally between a pair of posts 206. In one embodiment, the lattice 208a may be removably attached to the pair of posts 206 through suitable means known in the art. It would be evident to a person skilled in the art that although
The present disclosure provides a fencing system, such as the fencing system 100 and the fencing system 200, which offer the following advantages. The fencing system has simple structural configuration that makes the fencing system cost effective and convenient to assemble around the campfire 202. Further, the holding members such as the holding members 104 and 204 help in holding and supporting the fencing systems around the campfire. Moreover, the fencing system may be disassembled, which allows the fencing system to be conveniently transported from one place to another and to be stored conveniently at a confined place, thereby occupying less space.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present disclosure to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.
