    摘要: A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto one or more reflectors, or mirrors, that reflect light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The dipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently dipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

    摘要: A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto an angled reflector, or mirror, that reflects light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The clipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently clipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a novel ready to assemble simulated fireplace insert kit which can be combined with a pre-built furniture piece, or a ready to assemble furniture piece to provide a unique solution in the ready to assemble furniture product category. The ready to assemble simulated fireplace insert is broken down into individual components that can more easily be packed and shipped in a flat format and assembled by the end user. In some embodiments, certain components may be shared across different width insert assemblies to reduce costs.

    摘要: A flame simulating assembly for providing a moving effect of flames. The assembly includes a light source; a flicker element disposed in the path of the light source configured and arranged to reflect light from the light source; and an imaging wall. The imaging wall is disposed above the light source and includes a front facet and at least one additional facet. The front facet has an upper portion disposed forward of a lower portion thereof and the at least one additional facet extending rearward from the front facet. Light from the flicker element is occluded by the front facet to provide a more realistic fire shape. The fire shape appears wider at the base than at the top.
