ABSTRACT:
An easily attachable system is provided to pad the edges of a fireplace hearth with the primary purpose of reducing the risk to children of concussive or abrasive injury from the sharp edges and of the hearth. The system is defined by a rigid frame which readily attaches with no damage to the hearth itself but which can not easily be removed by children. The rigid frame is overlaid with a readily attachable protective padding made of, or coated with, an appropriate fire retardant material. In a second embodiment of the invention, a unitary system is provided wherein the frame itself is constructed of appropriate flame retardant padded material which provides the desired protection against injury. The system readily attaches in a non-destructive fashion to any size fireplace hearth and compensates for dimensional irregularities in the hearth itself. In addition to providing protection against concussive injury, the hearth pad of the invention provides fire prevention benefit by presenting an additional barrier to sparks and flaming embers escaping from the fireplace and igniting furniture or rugs.
