Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1233237A1] A fireplace assembly (10) includes a partially reflective vertical screen (16) with a diffusing back surface. A simulated fuel bed including simulated fuel and a simulated ember bed (24) is mounted in front of the screen. Light from a light source is reflected by a flicker element (20) onto the diffusing back surface of the screen to provide an image of moving flames. A plurality of reflectors (34) is mounted on the simulated fuel and light from the light source is reflected from a second flicker element (20') to the reflectors (34) to provide an impression of glowing embers. <IMAGE>
