Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a device intended for protecting from the flame action a glass pane mounted on the hearth of a fireplace for the purpose of restricting the flow of air being drawn from the surroundings through the flue under natural draft conditions. The technical problem to be solved is that of providing a simple and economically convenient device which can prevent the glass pane from overheating and blackening over its clear portion owing to the tarry residues of combustion. The solution to the problem is provided by a protective device, which comprises air conveying shaped interspaces adapted to convey air parallel to and in close contact with the glass pane (2) surface facing the fireplace (1) interior, and to create, by virtue of the draft action applied by the flue, laminar airflows which creep along the inner side of the glass pane (2).
