ABSTRACT:
A fireplace enclosure comprising a frame having two vertical side members and two transverse cross members extending therebetween, two pairs of hingedly connected folding doors for closing off the space encompassed by the frame, and a pair of slide latches connected with elongate slidable handles on two of the doors respectively for conveniently selectively latching and releasing the doors from the frame. The frame includes a door stop in the form of a depending apron on the upper cross member, constituting a backing for the doors when they are in closed positions. A pair of retainer slide members is carried on the innermost two doors, respectively, for engagement with the rear surface of the apron to prevent the doors from swinging freely outward as they are opened or closed. The arrangement is such that both the unlatching and the opening of each door pair can be readily accomplished by a single movement of the handle carried by one of the doors of the pair.
Another form of the invention involves a fireplace enclosure having a pair of chain-operated, collapsible wire-mesh screens which slide along aligned rods having looped or bent connecting portions. The loops in the rod enable the screens to overlap an extent when closed, and also provide a simple guide for coextensive portions of the chain, without the need for complex channels or additional chain guide mechanisms.
