DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a campfire device and more particularly to a campfire device art, the present invention provides a novel Device for Containing A Campfire (Entitled Stop Fire) structured and arranged for preventing large, rapidly spreading fires to provide campers and hikers with a more efficient and effective alternative for ensuring a campfire has been extinguished fully.

[0020] Generally speaking, the Stop Fire system would provide numerous benefits and advantages over current fire-fighting procedures. Quenching agents concentrated into specially designed boxes that are more easily directed to the source of the fire, this method would allow users to easily and expediently ensure that any fire is out. With this clever, quick acting arsenal, campers would be able to follow correct fire-setting procedures without worry that they will accidentally cause a raging wildfire.

[0021] Since the Stop Fire system would contain concentrated quenching agents that can be widely distributed at point of impact, this product could alleviate the waste of agent overuse, the Stop Fire would offer a convenient, accessible means to ensure that any camp fire is completely staunched. The Stop Fire would be comprised of a round or triangular box unit. Featuring mesh egress points over its construction, the box would incorporate a mixture of sand and water as quenching agents to completely smother burning embers and even flames.

[0022] As conceived, this product could be included with one's camping equipment or made available in parks for consumer use. Stop Fire would be able to easily and expediently douse a dangerous fire, the Stop Fire system could ensure that damage is prevented or at least kept to a bare minimum, saving millions of dollars in destroyed homes, thousands of acres of needed forest land, and of course, unnecessary loss of life as well as the waste of agents due to prevailing wind gusts.

[0023] Referring to the drawings by numerals of reference there is shown in FIGS. 1-3 illustrating, perspective views illustrating device for containing a campfire including body unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] A device for containing a campfire, the device comprising: body unit 1 having removable top 1a, base 1b, three sides 1c that are thirty inches in width, and three sides 1d that are four inches in width; at least one mesh egress point 2 integrated into each side 1c of body unit 1 and at least one mesh egress point 2 integrated into removable top 1a; quenching agent container 3, wherein the quenching agent container is containable inside the body unit; quenching agent 4 comprising a mixture of sand and water; and activation unit 5, wherein activation unit 5 is operably connected to expel quenching agent 4 from the mesh egress points 2 when activated. Wherein body unit 1 has six sides.

[0025] Wherein body unit 1 is twenty-five inches in height, and wherein the three four inches sides 1d and the three thirty inches sides 1c alternate to form a triangular shape with flat corners. Wherein quenching agent 4 is contained inside quenching agent container unit 3, and wherein quenching agent 4 is expellable from the quenching agent container 3 through the mesh egress points in the body unit to quench a campfire.

[0026] The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
