A Brief History Of Fireplace Bellows
Bellows are instruments created for the purpose of pushing air in a controlled manner to a specific area. Fire bellows date back to 930 B.C, and were used in the ancient times of the early Chinese, Roman and Greek civilizations. Early American settlers from the 1600's commonly used fireplace bellows and would construct them from an animal-skin stitched bag. Europe has a long history with fireplace bellows covering over a century of use, blacksmiths were known to use the tools for quick ignition to the smithing process. While having wide applications of use, the more common purpose has typically been for stoking flames to life in fireplaces, fireplace bellows are built with a triangular design and function as a single air pump tool. Most fireplace bellows consist of wood-carved handles with a leather expandable middle. They consist of an air chamber and a valve (or nozzle.) The air chamber has an accordion like design which allows it flexibility to grow and contract with use. Bellows have two handles which, when pulled, force the chamber to "inhale," drawing air inside itself for storage. When the handles are pushed downward, the air chamber forces the air out through the nozzle. Air blows out of the nozzle and onto a small fire or smoldering log to stoke the flames. As the handles are repeatedly lifted and pushed, the air is drawn in and pushed out, allowing for regular puffs of air therefore breathing life into the fire resulting in a beautiful fire.
