ABSTRACT:
The hearth guard includes a plurality of flameproof cotton batting sheets. A rectangular flameproof cloth encases the plurality of flameproof cotton batting sheets. Elastic bands are encased within and affixed inside the cover, situated at and parallel to the top and bottom of the cover, within openings defined by at least one seam. The elastic bands allow for fitting the cover to the hearth. Drawstrings are inserted longitudinally through the top and bottom of the cover, within openings defined by at least one seam. The drawstrings allow for securing the cover to the hearth. The elastic bands and drawstrings may use the same opening or may have separate openings. If separate openings are used, the openings may share a common seam. At least one pair of tie strings is used to secure the cover to an upstanding side. For each pair of tie strings, one tie string is affixed to the edge of the cover, while the remaining tie string is affixed to the opposite edge of the cover. Each tie string extends outwardly from the edge of the cover. Connecting mechanisms other than tie strings can also be used to attach the cover to the anchoring mechanisms. Hooks are fastened or embedded into the upstanding sides for securing the drawstrings and the connecting mechanisms thereto. Anchoring mechanisms other than hooks can also be used to secure the hearth guard.
