Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a radiator bracket arrangement (1) including a rail with a power unit, comprising a runner, with a lower anchorage member for cooperation with a lower portion of the radiator, an upper anchorage member which, under the action of the power unit, is movable downwards towards the lower anchorage member, and a connection member which is arranged substantially between the wall rail and the radiator, and is disposed to connect the upper anchorage member with an upper portion of the radiator.
  • radiators are, for aesthetic or other reasons, provided with hoods or safety plates.
  • such radiators are twin units, i.e. they comprise a rear radiator located most proximal the wall and a front radiator which is disposed in parallel with the rear radiator.
  • Covering encasement plates extend along the side edges of the radiators, while grids are provided on the underside and upper side of the radiators.
  • Radiators of this type are permanently assembled and often include an integrated valve for connection to the conduits via which they are supplied.
  • DE 297 15 031 U discloses a mounting bracket wherein a hook is arranged to grip around the upper edge of a radiator or the upper grid of the radiator.
  • a spring possibly reinforced by another spring, locks the hook in its gripping position.
  • the hook is connected to a wall rail, so that they form one unit.
  • DE 298 00 906 U is another example of an arrangement with a hook, which grips around the upper edge of a radiator with a grid.
  • a blocking device has a series of notches for cooperation with stopping device in the wall rail. Only the hook and a lower support contact the radiator in its mounted position.
  • the present invention has for its object to design the arrangement described by way of introduction such as to obviate the drawbacks inherent in prior art methods and apparatuses.
  • the present invention has for its object to realise an arrangement which affords a stable and close connection between the wall rail of the radiator bracket and the radiator proper.
  • the present invention has for its object to realise an arrangement which permits reversal of the radiator for both right-hand and left-hand mounting.
  • the present invention yet further has for its object to realise an arrangement which is aesthetically pleasing in that it is so short that it is concealed in behind the radiator.
  • the present invention has for its object to realise an arrangement which is simple and economical to manufacture and convenient to use.
  • the arrangement intimated by way of introduction is characterized in that the runner is movable in the longitudinal direction of the rail in a groove therein, the upper anchorage member extends through an aperture in the runner from the rail to the connection member, and there is disposed on the runner, in the region of the upper anchorage member, at least one support surface against which the connection member is urgeable so as to be position-aligned under the action of the upper anchorage member when this is subjected to a downwardly directed force towards the lower anchorage member and the connection member is connected to the radiator.
  • reference numeral 1 relates to a wall on which a rail 2 is mounted, preferably vertically directed.
  • Reference numeral 3 relates to an upper portion of an inner or rear radiator.
  • a second or outer radiator in Fig. 1 is located a distance from the radiator 3 to the right of it and parallel with it. Between the two radiators, there is normally disposed an upper covering grid which is illustrated by means of the broken line 4.
  • the Figure shows the upper end of the arrangement according to the present invention and an upper anchorage member 5 disposed there whose purpose is to positionally fix the upper portion of the radiator 3 in relation to the rail 2 and thereby also the wall 1.
  • a lower anchorage member which supports the radiator 3 and holds it in position against and from the wall 1.
  • the upper anchorage member 5 disposed at the upper end region of the arrangement according to the present invention is manufactured from metal and interlocks metalically with the rail 2, as well as being shiftable in the longitudinal direction thereof.
  • a power unit acts on the upper anchorage member 5 in a direction for downward movement along the rail 2.
  • the upper anchorage member 5 and the rail 2 have a locking function, which implies that the upper anchorage member 5 is movable downwards under the action of the power unit, but as soon as the end of the upper anchorage member 5 facing away from the rail 2, the outer end, is obstructed in its movement, the anchorage member is locked and prevented from moving in the opposite direction in principle regardless of the magnitude of the lifting force acting on the outer end of the anchorage member.
  • the anchorage member is self-locking in the locked position in engagement with a radiator or an anchorage mounted or disposed thereon.
  • the construction is such that the only possibility of releasing the anchorage member for upwardly directed movement entails that the locking function must, in a manner which will be described below, be broken.
  • the arrangement according to the present invention further includes a runner 6 which is preferably manufactured from plastic and which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the rail 2 in a groove provided therein.
  • the runner 6 is connected to a spring 7 which, with its lower end, is secured in the rail.
  • the spring and the runner are included in the above-mentioned power unit.
  • the runner 6 has a through-going aperture 8 in which the upper anchorage member 5 is disposed.
  • the aperture 8 has an upper/inner defining edge 9 which in Fig. 1, i.e. in the locked mounting position, urges against the inner end of the upper anchorage member 5 in a downward direction.
  • the aperture 8 has an inner/lower edge 10 which, in Fig. 1, is located a distance beneath the upper anchorage member 5.
  • the inner, lower edge 10 will come into abutment against the underside of the anchorage member and can lift it upwards along the rail 2 so that the locking function is broken.
  • the anchorage member may be released from the radiator or the anchorage disposed thereon.
  • the anchorage member 5 cooperates with a connection member 11 which extends in the vertical direction of the radiator a considerable distance from the upper edge of the radiator 3 and down on its rear side and which, in its upper end, has a catch or hook 12 which engages about the upper welded edge 13 of the radiator 3.
  • the connection member 11 abuts against support surfaces 14, 15 on the runner 6 and is held urged against them under the action of the upper anchorage member 5 and the power unit.
  • the connection member 11 is held positionally aligned by its urging against the support surfaces.
  • the two support surfaces 14 and 15 are disposed in spaced apart relationship to and on either side of the anchorage member 5.
  • connection member 11 is, in this manner, urged against the runner 6 and under the action of the anchorage member 5 is drawn in a direction towards the rail 2, a metallic, close connection will be established between the rail 2 and the connection member 11. Any possible play between the runner 6 and the rail 2 is also eliminated, since the runner 6 is indirectly urged against the rail 2 under the action of the connection member 11.
  • the rail 2, the runner 6 and the connection member 11 in the clamped position may be considered as a rigid, closed unit.
  • the only play which may occur between the upper end of the radiator 3 and the rail 2 is the possible play which may exist between the hook 12 and the welded edge 13.
  • connection member 11 has, in its central region viewed vertically, an aperture 16 with a lower edge 17.
  • the upper anchorage member 5 has, in its outer end, a downwardly directed hook 18 which grasps about the edge 17 of the connection member 11.
  • the hook 18 is obliquely inclined in relation to the vertical in such a manner that it, together with an imaginary line through the two support surfaces 14 and 15 (coinciding in Fig. 1 with the surface of the connection member 11 turned to face towards the wall 1), forms an upwardly tapering, cuneiform space 19.
  • this cuneiform space be dimensioned in such a manner that the edge 17 of the connection member 11 cannot come into abutment against the outwardly directed portion 20 of the anchorage member 5 which displays the hook 18 in its outer end. Given that the anchorage member 5 is urged in a downward direction, it will be perceived that the edge 17 of the connection member 11 will be urged into the increasingly narrower space 19 so that the connection member 11 with thereby be urged against the support surfaces 14 and 15 and be positionally aligned in conformity with them.
  • connection member 11 between the outer edge of the connection member 11 and the inner edge of the radiator 3, there is a space 21 which prevents rattling between the connection member and the radiator.
  • Fig. 2 shows the arrangement according to the present invention before the upper anchorage member 5 has entered into engagement with the edge 17 of the connection member 11.
  • the connection member 11 hangs on its hook 12 on the welded edge 13, for which reason it is located in the same vertical position as according to Fig. 1.
  • the runner 6 is raised to an upper position where the upper anchorage member 5 rests on the lower edge 10 of the aperture 8.
  • the spring 7 is considerably more tensioned in Fig. 2 than in Fig. 1.
  • the hook 18 is located approximately in the centre of the recess or aperture 16, viewed in the vertical direction.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show an alternative embodiment where the connection member 11 has its side edges 22 (see Fig. 3) turned to face inwards towards the wall 1, i.e. in a direction opposite to that shown in Figs. 1-3.
  • the side edges straddle the runner 6 and constitute a sliding guide in the vertical direction between the connection member 11 and the runner.
  • brackets 23 which permit displacement movements in the vertical direction between the runner and the connection member and which have no real function in the connected position illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • the brackets 23 are substantially of the nature of "transport safety devices”.
  • the entire outer surface 24 of the runner 6 may be considered as a support surface comparable with the above-described support surfaces 14 and 15.
  • connection member 11 is in the form of a tongue 25 which, in the locked position, is substantially parallel with the hook 18 and abuts against the inside thereof.
