Abstract

Pod for thermo-technical equipment, comprising a foamed support body (1) with device mounting surface (2) and an outer contour (3) of the support body (1) defining flank surface (4), wherein the support body (1) at least partially with a metallic shell (5) is covered, characterized in that the outer contour (3), seen in podium top view, is at least partially curved.

Description

The The invention relates to a pedestal for thermal engineering Devices, such as storage tanks, boilers or The like according to the preamble of the protection claim 1.

In order not to have to set up such devices directly on the floor (keyword: stability in unevenness) and to provide for a thermal insulation and moisture protection against the ground, such devices are usually placed on such more or less flat podiums, for example consist of a foamed support body with device mounting surface and a the outer contour of the support body defining flank surface, wherein the support body is at least partially covered with a metallic shell. The support body consists for example of polyurethane foam and the coat of more or less thin sheet, but must be able to withstand punctual loads by the aufzusetzende device. Such a pedestal, from which it also originated, is known according to the prospectus of the applicant from the year 2008. This is a rectangular, flat box-shaped structure in which a coat forming the jacket to form the flank surfaces must be folded all around, the folded flank surfaces must be fixed against each other and the inserted into a corresponding shape hollow body finally foamed with polyurethane foam becomes. For the sake of completeness, however, with respect to such platforms, which, however, have no foaming, on the other hand also have a flat-box-shaped rectangular shape, on the DE 298 23 188 U1 and DE 93 09 966 U1 directed.

Of the Invention is based on the object, starting from a pedestal of the type mentioned, to further improve this.

These Task is according to the invention with a pedestal with the features of the protection claim 1 solved.

Advantageous are thus the usual square and thus also production-consuming basic forms avoided, not to mention the stylistic side effect of the adaptation to the generally cylindrical shapes, in particular of storage containers and this also connected with the fact that the novel pedestal no Stolperecken has more. Preferred is the embodiment, where the pedestal has a circular shape in plan view. So much closer to be explained embodiments to be considered which are also the basic condition of at least partial Cornering fulfill, so this is so to understand that such pedestals in particular for that are determined, with their straight edge against a wall of the installation room to be positioned.

The erfingsgemäße pedestal is based on the graphic Presentation of exemplary embodiments closer in the following explained.

It shows

1 the preferred embodiment of the pedestal partially in section and in side view;

2 according to the pedestal 1 in plan view;

3 enlarged and about the scale 1: 1 according to the partial section through the pedestal 1 and

4 to 5 Top views of particular embodiments.

The pedestal consists of a foamed supporting body 1 with device footprint 2 and one the outer contour 3 of the supporting body 1 determining flank surface 4 , wherein the supporting body 1 at least partially with a metallic shell 5 covered or quasi dressed. "At least partially" takes into account that the coat 5 downwards may be open to the bottom slightly out of the mantle 5 outstanding supporting body 1 (see in particular 2 ) to be able to expose directly to the ground, directly under load.

In the in the 1 to 3 illustrated and preferred embodiment of the invention is the condition of the curve shape by the illustrated circular shape of the shell 5 fulfilled, whose cavity, as mentioned above, after introduction of the preferably simply formed by deep drawing or embossing jacket 5 is foamed in a suitable and coverable form with (in particular CFC-free) polyurethane. From 3 as a known recognizable slight bend 6 the lower edge of the flank inwards and the likewise known shape of the bottom side of the polyurethane core in the form of an annular Bodenauflagewulstes 7 can be readily maintained as well.

The in the 4 to 6 particular embodiments shown are in particular and as mentioned above intended to the respective pedestal with its straight edge 8th against a wall of the equipment installation room (so far something fixed) to be able to.

The embodiment according to 4 represents thereby a pedestal in semicircular form, which after 5 a circle segment and the after 6 a combination from a semicircle and a rectangle. With regard to thermoforming or embossing of each ever mantels 5 the corner areas, as shown, preferably formed rounded.
