Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1271060A1] An imitation fireplace electric heater with a flame simulator, comprises a dynamic light source (1), a fire-shaped wall (2) opened with various flame-shaped transparent holes (9), a translucent imaging screen (3), a semitransparent mirror glass screen (4), and plastics blocks (5,6) having a trunk charcoal shape. The imaging screen (3) is located in front of the fire-shaped wall (2). The mirror glass screen (4) is arranged in front of the imaging screen (3), the plastics blocks (5,6) are placed before the mirror glass screen (4), a dynamic light source (1) is disposed on the other side of the fire-shaped wall, in which an electroluminescent lamp is installed in a hollow cylindrical transparent mask to serve as the dynamic light source. Transparent holes are distributed on the surface of transparent mask, which is fixed to a lamp bracket, itself connected to an electric motor driving it into rotation via a transmission mechanism. It has the advantages of vivid in simulation, suitable for utilisation in an imitation fireplace electric heater. <IMAGE>
