Description
0 7 ~
The present invention relates to a radiant heating panel for u.se particularly as a floor or a Eloor panel.
It is considered advantageous to arrange heating coils in floors. For this purpose metallic pipes, running back and forth, have up to now most often been laid in concrete floors, which have been poured around the metallic pipes functioning as heating coils.
The above stated technique is marred by several disadvantages. First of all, one is in prac-tice bound to concrete floors and in this connection is forced to pour the 100r around the coils. If leakage or other defects arise, the floor must completely or partially be broken up, which involves high costs and great problems.
Moreover such coils are forced to heat up the entire floor, i.e. a very large mass, whose raising or lowering of temperature requires long periods of time. Advanta geous regulation of temperature during short periods of time is in this connection completely out of the question.
The object of the present invention is principally to eliminate the above stated disadvantages and create a new heating panel, particularly as floor or floor panel, which easily, quickly, simply, and in an economical way can be applied on arbitrary foundations, and in which connection such a heating panel without difficulty can even be produced by laymen.
The above object is achieved, according to the present invention as herein broadly claimed, by the provision of a radiant heating panel comprising a base plate having grooves in one face, said panel having one side confronting the space to be heated, and separate heating conduit means for a heating medium in said grooves, and means transferring heat between said heating medium in said conduit means and the space-to be heated, ~p .

characterized essentially in that the walls of said grooves diverge from said one face toward the bottom of the grooves, forming a throat at said face, at least one of the conduit means and the base plate being elastically deformable, the heating conduit means having a width somewhat larger than the width of the throat r SO
that the heating conduit means can be snapped into and is retained in the grooves by said throat.
The invention is li~ewise broadly claimed herein as a method oX producing a radiant heating panel from a base plate having grooves in one face, heating pipes for a heating medium to be mounted in said grooves, and a heat-conductive means d:irected toward the room -to be heated to radiate heat from said pipes to said room, characterized essentially by the steps of: providing walls in said grooves which diverge from said face toward the bottom of the grooves to produce at said face a throat of a given width somewhat less than the width of said heating pipes, and inserting said pipes into said grooves by temporarily deforming at least one of said throat and said pipes, so that said throat retains each pipe in its groove.
Following is a description of an embodiment of the invention having reference to the appended drawings wherein:
Fig. 1 a corner section viewed in perspective of a preferred embodiment of a heating panel according to the invention, Fig. 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1, showing the panel after insertion of heating pipes and installation of the cover plate, however before final assembly of the panel and Fig. 3 is a view like that of Figure 2 showing the panel in position of utilization after assembly.

Fig. 1 a corner section viewed in perspective of a preferred embodiment of a heating panel according to the invention, Fig. 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1, showing the panel after insertion of heating pipes and installation of the cover plate, however before final assembly of the panel and Fig. 3 is a view like that of Figure 2 showing the panel in position of utilization after assembly.
2 -In the drawing figures a base plate is designated with 1, which preferably consists of ex-truded plastic, which can be produced in desired standard widths. This base plate is equipped with mutual prefera bly parallel grooves 2, whose depth 15 can amount to e.g. approx. 2/3 of the thickness of the plate. The profile of the grooves is preferably suchl that the walls of the grooves 3 at least in connection to the side of entry of the grooves diverges toward the bottom of the grooves 4. In the illustrated embodiment the grooves have a trapezoidal or salmon's tail-shaped profile, at which the walls of the grooves 3 at the open side of the groove and at the bottom 4 are softly rounded or bevelled, so that an approximate Z- or S- shaped construction is obtained.
In the grooves 2 heating pipes 6 of an intrlnsically known type are placed /

reduction oi temADerature, if so is desired. rhe hea-ting pipes can have arbit-raly profile, but only circle round profile will certainly be con-sidered, ~lhose diarmeter in accordance with a preferred embodiment is somev/hat lar~er than the width 16 of the throat of the groove causing a certain snapping-in effect, in which connection the hea-ting pipes and/or the base pla-te are deformed somewhat during insertion of -the pipes~ in which connec-tion a minor expansion occurs in the wider interior of the croove, ~o that the pipes are retained in the grooves without special means of assis-tance.
As revealed by ~-ic~lre 2, -the inser-ted pipes extend somewhat outward over the upper side of the plate 1, ~hich is forrned by the ridges 5 be-tween--the ~;rooves 2~ which result in, that an installed cover pla-te 7 princip-ally will rest on the pipes 6, which accoun-t for a dis-tance 12 between the underside of the cover plate and the upper side of the base plate.
The cover plate or plates are designed to admit anchoring studs 8 and/or anchoring screws 9, which are designed to be inserted into stud holes 13 resp. screw holes 14 in the base plate 1, in trhich connection such a bond lS desigrled to be ti~htened dowrl;1ard and reduce or pre~eraDly oblitera-te the distance 12 accordincP~ to figure ~. If studs are used~ these are pre-f`erably rirMly ~nited with the cover plate 7 and on -their shaft section have annular rings or other intrinsically known snapping-in construction~
which correspond to walls of holes provided with annular depressions, so tha-t applied pre3sure on the cover plate within -the area for the studs causes these s-tuds to autbmftically penetra-te and bite into -the intended holes and retain the cover plate in the dov~nward pressed position.
In accordance wi-tn a preferred embodimen-t the heating pipes o and/or the Dase pla-l;e 1 are constrllctfad ol material which can i)e ;leforrned, so tha-t e.g. in unburdened condition, l~ipes which have a cLrcle round profile are déformed l;o be clarflped to form in -the -trapezoidal grooves, ls is revealed by figure ~. In this connection the pipes consequen-tly fill out the grooves , 0 7 ~
and achieve in addition, insteat1 of' line contact ~/ith -the cover plate, a considerable suri'ace contact and in this .~ay excellent and considerable transf'er of hea-t ~e-tween the pipes and the cover plate.
~he s-ta-ted trans~er of hea-t and/or the retention of'-the pipes in the groovescan be increased by rneans of that a gap filling compound 10 is introduced in the grooves9 which is fluid or half' fluid, cventua~ly first stiff or firrn and then iluid or hal:f fluid af-ter having been hea-ted, so that in the in--termediate s-tage according to figure 2 a forcing aside to the sides,of the stated gap filling compound is obtained, which in f'inal stage is pressed all the way up to f'ill out eventual remaining cavities directly under the cover plate 7. The gap filling compourid 10 can be a glu8 and/or other com-pound ,;ith advan-tageous heat conduction ~prbperties. Of course it is also possible after assernbly of the pipes to introduce such gap filling com-pound in the fold between the pipes and the throat of the grooves. If the compound is a ~lue, this can eventually guarantee -the creation 'of a durable bond between the cover plate and the pipes and/or the base plate.
Deformation of the pipes and/or the base plate and stated effect of the gap filling connpound can eventu~ally be favoured in that in the interrnediate stage according to figure 2 warm or greatly heated water is allowed to pass through the pipes, so that the pipe rnaterial and/or the material of the base plate so~'tens, by what means in a short time and in a simple Manner a simple clamping to forrn according -to figure 3 is obtained. If greatly heated water is conveyed through the pipes, a cover plate ma-terial, especi-ally with laminated cover plates, can eventually be considered, which sof-tens and-then absorbs a portion of the heating pipes, which in such a man-ner become erilbedded in -the cover plate.
'~he entire upper side-of' the base plate 1 including the walls of and the bottoms of'-the grooves and/or the under side of the base plate can eventu-ally be provided with a heat reflecting layer~ e.g. by means of anodizing.
~oreover the gal) filling compound can be~applied over -the entire surface of the base plate i'or the filling 01lt of eventual additional irregJularities and/or functioning flS glue for~the entire under side of the cover plate.
As s-tated~ the cover plate c~an consist of laminate, where at least an up-per la-yer has f'orrn stability for the purpose of ob-taining~a level floor.
~'he cover plate can consist of rnetal and/or plastic and/or other material and i-t and/or -the base plate will have a stiffening function~ so that a , ., .
heatirl& parlel accordin~ to the invention c~n be arJplied on an arbitrary ~'ourl(lation. Under the brlse l,late an e.~i;. insula-tion shcet 11 of intrin-~ically l~nown cons-truction is pre~'eraoly arranged to be glued onto it.
The hea-tin~ pipes can as already stated, be installed as an endless pipe or in the ca~e of a rnodular system suitable couplings can be arrrmged be-tween the udjacerlt panels, In addition it is possible to deliver entirely or partially cornplete heating panels~ in the latter case e.g. hea-ting plpes inserted in the grooves 2, which can alterna-tlvely be delivered attached on the underside of' the cover plate.
In all cases one obtains small heated masses which result in that consider-able raising resp. lowering of temperature can occur in the shortest con-ceivable period of' time. The ~oundation can be arbitrary and a concrete ~loor can be poured quic~ly and easily and without consideration for la-borious manual laying of' heatlng pipes according tolanltogether individual pattern in each separate case. l~'urtherrnore the overall heigh-t can be'kep-t very :Low and such heating panels can advantageously be arranged even in ol-der houses on existlng f'loors. Of course the heating panels according to the invention are sult~ble even f'or installation on walls and ceillngs.
Owing to~the small heated masses and the~,rea-t area of contact the temper-ature o~ the transport rnedium in the heating pipes~can re held at the low-est conceivable level in order to yet achieve qulck, high and dependable heating, 'Thls rrla~res the heating panels accordlng -to the lnventlon very suitable for e,g. heat purnp s,ysterns~and the like.
1~ relatively heavy cover plates are used~ speclal anchori~ means such as screws~ studs and eventually even gluing can eventually be eliminated.
