InventionHome inventor unveils elevated fire containment system for outdoor spaces

By AI, Created 4:29 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – Valerie S. of Oxford, North Carolina created Fireball, an elevated fire containment system designed to improve safety, portability, and visual appeal in residential, camping, and commercial settings. The invention is now being offered for licensing as Valerie works with InventionHome to find U.S. manufacturers or distributors.

Why it matters: - Fireball aims to address common drawbacks of traditional ground-level fire pits, including heat transfer, ember spread, surface scorching, and poor fit with outdoor design. - The design is meant to combine controlled heating with a sculptural look for homes, campsites, and commercial outdoor dining areas.

What happened: - Valerie S. of Oxford, North Carolina created Fireball, a combined fire containment system and sculptural installation. - Valerie filed a utility patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. - Valerie is working with InventionHome to sell or license the patent rights. - InventionHome is seeking U.S.-based manufacturers or distributors interested in further developing and distributing the product.

The details: - Fireball uses an elevated spherical combustion chamber supported by a vertical post and base assembly. - The open-sphere design contains the flame within a defined boundary while allowing multidirectional heat radiation. - Elevating the fire source above ground level helps reduce direct thermal impact on underlying surfaces. - The design also aims to reduce ember spread and unintended contact. - The system uses modular components that can be disassembled and reassembled with standard mechanical connections. - The modular build is meant to support transport and storage. - A stabilizing base and optional kickstand are designed to resist tipping under typical outdoor conditions. - An integrated handle supports manual relocation when the unit is not in operation. - The system is intended for residential, recreational, and commercial use. - The company lists contact options for interested buyers and inventors, including more information, inventor resources, member@inventionhome.com, info@inventionhome.com, and 1-866-844-6512.

Between the lines: - Fireball sits at the intersection of product design and outdoor heating, which could make it more appealing to buyers who want both function and visual presentation. - The patent and licensing push suggests the invention is being positioned for commercialization rather than direct retail launch.

What’s next: - InventionHome will try to connect Valerie’s patent rights with a licensee or manufacturer. - Interested companies can contact InventionHome to explore licensing or development opportunities. - Inventors seeking help with patenting, marketing, or licensing can reach out through the listed email addresses or phone number.

The bottom line: - Fireball is pitched as a safer, more portable, and more design-forward alternative to a standard fire pit.
