Abstract

The radiator fitting unit has a fixing rail (1) with lower and upper grips (5,7). The upper one is sprung and can be moved by the spring (10) along the fixing rail to the assembly position, and is connected to a blocking plate (19). The blocking plate is connected via a bearing to the upper grip or is supported on it so that the blocking plate can be moved between blocking position and free position by tipping or turning. A locking element prevents it moving to a locking or stop position.

Description

The invention relates to a console for mounting a radiator or other component, e.g. B. on a wall with a mounting rail, two the component in one Intervention organs holding a mounting position and a spring and a locking part in the preamble of claim 1 called genus.

Such a console is already known (EP-A-0 724 120). This console has the advantage that the installer of a radiator the console first on the wall with just for example screwed one screw, then the second, in particular above arranged engagement member at the greatest distance from the first Engaging organ brings what is secured by a locking part until the second engaging member is pressed against it especially when pressing the radiator or the like Component to this second tear organ automatically from the The locking position is released again. The feather then pulls that second engaging member again towards the first engaging member, whereby the radiator or attached to the back Hatlet parts or the like fasteners between the two engaging elements in the assembly position be held. The movable second engagement member with a blocking member serving in particular as a traction member connected, which is used to move the second engaging member serves against the force of the spring. By pulling on Blocking element in a direction pointing away from the first engagement element Direction becomes the second engaging element against the spring force pulled to finally in a simple manner in the To be brought into the locking position, in which the locking part holds the second engagement element with the spring under tension. The blocking member also points at least an additional locking element, which with a locking element, which is arranged on the mounting rail interacts. The locking element can also be on another with the second engaging member movable part can be arranged. The Function of the locking element and locking element is that the pulling movement of the pulling element against the spring force Locking the locking element on the locking element is hindered. This will prevent accidental movement the radiator, for example by a child, the second Intervention element against the spring force such a long distance is movable that the two engaging elements the radiator or similar components no longer securely held. First by at least partially pivoting the blocking member in particular in one that points away from the mounting rail or wall Direction the locking element comes from the restricted area of the locking element free to the movement of the second engagement member against the force of the spring - from the first engagement element away - to be able to carry out freely.

The second engaging member is manually in by the blocking member pulled the locking position. The same function is used when the second engaging member from the assembly position should be moved away to the radiator again to decrease. For this purpose, the blocking member behind the Radiator or similar component protrude so far that seized it with little trouble and in this desired Way can be moved in particular by pulling. This does a laborious loosening of screws, which the second engaging member hold securely in an assembly position, superfluous.

A second function of the blocking member is that automatic release of the radiator or the like component to prevent from the assembly position, if not the above special pivoting movement takes place on the blocking member.

It is recommended to use the locking element and / or the locking element to train as a tooth. Several locking elements and / or several locking elements in the form of rows of teeth, for example be used. It is recommended to use the flanks to arrange the teeth so that the second engaging member without Swiveling the blocking member from the spring into the mounting position is movable when it comes out of the locking position. In other words: the slanted tooth flanks the locking elements on the one hand and the locking element on the other are facing each other in this case, so that the locking elements slide freely along the locking element when the Movement of the second engaging member towards the first Engaging organ takes place (from the locked position in the Mounting position), but otherwise the blocking effect in the reverse Direction can be realized.

The locking element is advantageously on a side wall of the Fastening rail arranged as a tooth-shaped nose. Here it is recommended to remove the rare edge from the wall to the front to stand out.

Although the previously known console is good in practice proven, it affects aesthetics if that upper engaging member on the top of the radiator in the blocking position should be brought and therefore the as Pull tab trained blocking member clearly visible above protrudes the upper edge of the radiator.

The invention is therefore based on the object, both Functionality as well as the external appearance in particular to improve such consoles with simple means, whose upper engaging organs directly over the top of the radiator or over a radiator above covering component are brought into the blocking position should.

The invention is characterized in claim 1 and in Preferred training claims are claimed.

According to the invention, the blocking member does not form a pronounced one Pull tab that extends far beyond the upper engaging organ protrudes upwards, but the blocking member is so over a bearing connected to the movable second engagement member or is the blocking member based on this second Intervention element from that the blocking element in relation to the second Intervention element between the blocking position and the release position movable, for example, by tilting or swiveling is. At least one further locking element ensures that the tilting movement, swiveling movement or other movement of the Blocking member prevented with respect to the second engaging member or at least severely disabled if that Blocking member is in a locking or locking position, that is prevents tipping, swiveling or the like moving shall be.

It is recommended that the additional locking elements at least a nose-like projection or a recess on the movable second engaging member and at least one projection on Have blocking member, of which at least one projection resiliently deformable or so movable against spring force is that the locking or locking position by more or less strong jamming of the two projections can be realized however, there is a possibility by applying pressure or by releasing an additional, the blocking position securing component to leave the rest position and the tilting or pivoting movement of the blocking member with respect to release the second engaging organ as soon as the one ledge the other by z. B. resilient bending comes past and / or is pushed out of the recess.

It is particularly useful if the blocking member is fork-shaped is formed: The connecting web part serves to accommodate a bearing part and to accommodate an or of a pair of locking elements, while the two are from Web part protruding fork ends such locking elements as Have saw teeth, each with one on the Interact with the fastening rail attached locking element can.

The blocking element should be made of resiliently bendable Plastic, especially made of polyamide or acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylic ester copolymer ASA and z. B. from a molded part consist.

The movable second and on the console in particular above attached engaging member preferably forms with the guide member a unit made of relatively rigid plastic or metal, e.g. B. from with a plastic coating provided zinc casting.

It is recommended that the management body at its Side facing the wall an outwardly projecting to the wall Has nose, which has a recess z. B. as part circular Slit overlaps, so that in particular in the lower half rounded nose or that in its upper Half also rounded recess part of the Bearing for the blocking member forms the opposite flexible plastic can exist.

According to Figure 1 is a known console by means of the mounting rail 1 on a wall 2 by means of a screw 3 attached. At the bottom of the console is a first engaging member 5; this forms with the mounting rail 1 one unit. At the top of the mounting rail 1, a second engagement member 7 is movably attached, that it is from a spring 10 which through a hole 11 in the Fastening rail 1 inserted at one end and with the other end is connected to a guide member 9 after is pulled down. The guide member 9 is up, that means in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail 1 into one Movable position in which the holding part shown in Figure 1 8 on the radiator 4 behind the edge of the Engagement organ 7 comes to rest and this second Engagement member 7 in the locking position - Fig. 2 - arrives.

3, the upper part of the metallic mounting rail 1 two from the wall level of the rail 1 by about 90 ° bent side edges 14, 15. It will be at the top End of one side edge 15 of a ramp surface starting from a nose-shaped locking element 17, the steep flank springs back to the recess 16 in the side edge 15.

According to Figure 3, the second engagement member 7 is part of the Guide member 9, on the one hand engages the spring 10 and on the other hand, that of resiliently bendable Plastic, e.g. B. polyamide, existing blocking member 19th is attached. At the back there are several for Wall 2 facing tooth-shaped locking elements 20, which with the Locking element 17 in the manner described above work together.

In Figure 4 is a side view of the assembled according to the invention Console shown, in which the mounting rail 1 is screwed to the wall 2 and the upright Radiator 4 in the form of a plate radiator between the lower engaging member 5 and the upper end OE of the console arranged upper engaging member 7 of the console clamped is. On the upper edge 4a of the radiator 4 is a Cover plate 100 so that the upper arm of the second Engagement organ 7 is supported on these parts and after bottom pin 37 at the end of the upper second Engagement member 7 through a recess 101 in the upper cover plate 100 protrudes through.

On the mounting rail 1 is the lower end of a tension spring 10 anchored, the top of which is behind one up snapped directed hooks 40 on the guide member 9. The feather 10 exercises on the guide member 9 and therefore also on the upper one Engagement member 7 a train down, that is against lower engaging member 5, so that the radiator 4 in this clamped locking position remains.

The blocking member 19 is in the blocking position of Figure 4 in such a position that pulling up the second engaging member 7 is hindered by attack one of the tooth-shaped locking elements 20 on the protruding from the front also in particular tooth-like locking element 17 at the edge 15 of the fastening rail 1.

Around the upper engaging member 7 from that shown in FIG Locking or locking position in the removal position shown in Figure 6 being able to pull up, which releases the radiator 4 and cover element 100 leads, it is first required, the blocking member 19 by spreading apart the projections 33 and 34 on the blocking member 19 and on the guide member 9 or upper engaging member 7 from the locking position to solve. Then the blocking member 19 to the as Swivel bearing serving nose 30 of the guide member 9 pivoted. Ends within the part-circular recess 32 the rounded hook 31 of the blocking member 19 so that the nose 30 as a pivot bearing for pivoting into that shown in Figure 5 Position serves. As a result, the tooth-like locking elements arrive 20 at the lower ends of the blocking member 19 from the Area of the tooth-like locking element 17 on the fastening rail approach, so that now the second engaging member 7 with the integrally associated guide member 9 against the force the spring 10 pulled up and there in a locking position can be locked so that the engaging member 7th then automatically in the locking position shown in Figure 6 remains.

The radiator 4 can, for example, be replaced by a new one be by the first radiator 4 between the Intervention organs 5 and 7 removed and a new radiator 4 in the manner of Figure 1 in the direction of the arrow from the previous Place the lower edge 4b on the lower engaging member 5 is pressed to the stop on the guide member 9, whereby this shifts back a little so that the upper engaging member 7 pushed out of the locking position and is pulled down by the force of the spring 10 to there in turn behind the upper edge 4a of the replaced Snap in radiator 4.

Aushebeln" zu lösen.FIG. 7 shows a side view of the upper part of the guide member 9 forming a structural unit with the second engagement member 7, specifically in the locking or latching position shown in FIG. 4, in which the resiliently bendable nose-shaped projection 34 on the inside of the central web 19h of FIG Locking member 19 snaps into a recess 33 behind the nose-like projection protruding upward from the guide member 9. The bottom rounded nose 30, which projects downward on the rear of the guide member 9, serves as the tilting or pivoting bearing of the blocking member 19, so that the rounded hook 31 at the lower end of the web 19 b into the slot-like, approximately semicircular recess 32 in the vicinity of the nose 30 snaps in and can exert a tilting, rotating or swiveling movement there by a certain angle. In order to get out of the latching position shown in FIG. 7 and in FIG. 4, the upper part of the web 19b of the blocking member 19 is pivoted in the direction S (FIG. 7), for example by manual pressure on the ribs 35 projecting from the outside. For this purpose, the two latching elements 33, 34 must disengage and for this purpose the projection 34 on the inside of the web 19b must spread apart in a spring-elastic manner in the direction T in order to get past the elevation of the nose 33. A tool, e.g. B. screwdriver tip, are pressed into a gap 7a between the end 19b _{1 of} the central web 19b and the upper engaging member 7 by the latching position

Leverage "to solve.

On the web 19b described in connection with FIG. 7, which, according to FIG. 9, the middle part of the blocking member 19 forms, the downward projecting legs, webs close or legs 19a, which face a series of tooth-shaped toward the rear Have locking elements 20. In Figures 8/9 the Swivel axis SA indicated in each case. This pivot axis SA des Bearing is through the center of the nose 30 on the guide member 9 educated.

The invention can be used particularly advantageously in those radiator installations in which the supply and discharge lines are not designed as steel pipes, but rather as plastic or copper pipes that expand more when heated, which stabilize the radiator with regard to fastening and securing against unauthorized use Pry out "from the anchorage better.
