Description

The invention relates to a retaining cleats for a console for fastening radiators to a wall referred to in the preamble of claim 1. Art Such consoles are widely used for fastening radiators, as they are simple and inexpensive to manufacture and simple and practical in the assembly of Radiator are. In addition, it should be provided in the device in question that the radiator is secured against unintentional lifting in order to avoid safety risks.

The EP 1 837 604 B1 describes a retaining cleats for a console for fixing a radiator. The console comprises an elongate rail and an upper holder, in which a part of the radiator is receivable. A locking member acts in its mounting position to ensure that the radiator can not be unintentionally excavated, with two gripping members are provided which can pivot the locking member in an open position to dismantle the radiator. The device is relatively complex in construction and an operator must operate both gripping parts to disassemble the radiator. In addition, it is not intended that the radiator is secured against lateral displacement.

The DE 196 04 933 B4 also describes a holding claw referred to in the preamble Art. Here, the upper holder on a run-on slope, which can enter into operative connection with the holding portion of the radiator, wherein a claw-like holding part of the upper holder is moved against the force of a spring upwards, then the force of this spring in the holding position to come into operative connection with the holding region of the radiator. This document shows various types of locking to prevent inadvertent lifting of the radiator. In addition, it would also be possible to introduce a screw from above through the U-shaped formation, which prevents the claw-like holding part from being pushed upwards and thus the radiator can be dug out. A variant to prevent lateral displacement of the radiator, is also not provided here.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a holding claw, which is simple and inexpensive to design and manufacture, safe and comfortable in the assembly and beyond even both a lifting out even a displacement of the radiator prevented. This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1, which have the following special significance.

The locking element is such that, in addition to the unintentional lifting, it prevents inadvertent displacement of the heating element in the recess of the claw-like holding part, by interacting directly or indirectly with the holding region of the heating element. In this case, the locking element is such that it can be actuated when mounted radiator. Thus, both accidental lifting and accidental movement of the radiator can be effectively prevented by the use of a single locking element. Nevertheless, the locking element can be made ineffective to disassemble the radiator, if desired.

In a preferred embodiment, the claw-like holding member is slidably receivable in a U-shaped formation located on the upper holder. As a result, the claw-like holding part during assembly of the radiator easily avoid upwards by sliding in the U-shaped formation to receive the holding portion of the radiator in the recess.

Preferably, the spring is designed as an outgoing from the claw-like holding part elastic flag. This results in advantages in the assembly of the spring, since there is no need to use another component. This is easier to assemble and cheaper to manufacture. It is particularly advantageous if here serves as a resilient flag, a plastic flag, which starts in one piece from the claw-like holding part and applies with its free end in the region of the U-web to the inner web walls of the U-shaped formation. This is a particularly inexpensive and simple shape of serving as a spring elastic flag. Taking advantage of the curved shape of the U-shaped formation, the spring can then slide on the inner web walls on the U-shaped formation when the claw-like holding part is moved in the U-shaped formation. Of course, here also the kinematic reversal is possible, so that the spring protrudes from the U-shaped formation and is formed integrally therewith, wherein the claw-like holding part is then pressed against this spring by a radiator to be mounted.

In a preferred embodiment, the locking element between the claw-like holding part and the wall is arranged and is accessible from the top with mounted radiator. Thus, an operator can easily operate the locking element even when the radiator is mounted and thus secure the radiator or, if the radiator is to be removed, the locking element also solve again to remove the radiator.

Preferably, the locking element engages the claw-like holding part at least partially and is after operation with its lower end to the holding portion of the radiator operatively connected in such a way that a clamping between the locking element and the holding portion of the radiator and / or between the recess of the claw-like holding part and the holding area of the radiator is brought about. By this clamping neither the lifting of the radiator nor the shifting is possible.

Preferably, the locking element is designed as a screw. Such screws are standard components and therefore cost. Preferably, the screw can be sharpened at its lower end in order to be able to interact better with the holding region of the radiator. The head of the screw may be formed, for example, as an external hexagon. Of course, it is also possible to provide a hexagon socket or another shape of the screw head. Also, the lower end of the screw may have a different shape. It is advantageous if the claw-like holding part is displaceable relative to the rail perpendicular to the surface of the rail. Thus, various distances of the holding portion of the respective radiator to the rail by the claw-like holding part can be easily adjusted.

1 shows a console according to the invention 10 , which is mounted here on a wall. A radiator 40 is currently on this console 10 assembled. With a retaining tab is the radiator 40 already in the lower holder 12 at the console 10 attached, the lower holder 12 here in one piece with the rail 11 is trained. By pivoting in the direction of the arrow, the radiator 40 with its upper retaining tab and the holding area attached thereto 41 with the interposition of the run-up slope 31 into the recess 32 on the claw-like holding part 30 in the upper holder 20 brought in. The holding area 41 is here on a retaining tab of the radiator 40 intended. It is of course also possible, the upper seam of the radiator 40 as a holding area 41 to use.

The upper holder 20 has one end 21 on, with which he can move vertically and lockable to the rail 11 is halterable and another end 22 on which the claw-like holding part 30 is provided. Between the claw-like holding part 30 and the wall is the locking element 34 recognizable, which is designed here as a screw with hexagon head.

How out 2 is more apparent, is the spring 33 as an elastic flag 35 provided and integral with the claw-like holding part 30 educated. The elastic flag 35 lies with her free end 36 on the inner web wall 24 the U-shaped shape 23 at. As a result, the desired spring effect is achieved. The claw-like holder 30 can then be in the U-shaped shape 23 be moved translationally, for example, when a radiator 40 with its holding area 41 at the run-in slope 31 runs along while the claw-like holding part 30 pushes up until the holding area 41 of the radiator 40 into the recess 32 is introduced.

Another embodiment of the invention show the 3 to 7 , Here is the bottom holder 12 not integral with the rail 11 formed, but as a separate component, which in openings in the rail 11 can be hung. As a result, the distance between the lower holder 12 and upper holder 20 adjustable, for example, for different radiators 40 to be used with provided at different distances retaining tabs.

In contrast to the first embodiment, the run-up slope 31 here slightly bent executed. This allows the holding area 41 a radiator 40 even easier on the run-on slope 31 slide along and into the recess 32 be introduced.

Furthermore, it can be seen in this embodiment that the locking element 34 is designed as a screw. The head is that of an external hex screw, while the bottom end 37 of the locking element 34 pointed is designed. The free end 36 the elastic flag 35 , which also here in one piece with the claw-like holding part 30 is formed, is also in this embodiment on the inner web wall 24 the U-shaped shape 23 at.

Finally, it should be pointed out that the embodiments shown here are merely exemplary realizations of the invention. This is not limited to this. On the contrary, modifications and modifications are possible.
