Description
F24B covers heating appliances designed for domestic use that burn solid fuels such as coal, wood, or biomass, including traditional stoves, ranges, and fireplaces. The classification also encompasses functional implements and accessories specifically designed for operation and maintenance of these solid-fuel heating devices, such as ash removal tools, grates, and damper mechanisms. This subclass excludes industrial furnaces and boilers (covered under F27) and electric or gas-fired domestic heating equipment (covered under other F24 subclasses). Inventions in this area typically address fuel combustion efficiency, heat distribution, ash handling, and user safety features in solid-fuel heating systems.
