Definitions
- the present invention relates to electric heaters and more especially the towel radiators.
- the glass used as construction material for the radiator walls has advantage its pleasant presentation and its thermal qualities including a sufficiently low effusiveness so that hot touching does not cause burning sensations too strong even at the limits than the usual standards impose, and its high emissivity.
- heaters with accessible walls are made of glass.
- devices intended for space heating we find for example that described in patent WO9627271 composed of several transparent glazing spaced to promote convection and one of which at less has a transparent heating film.
- radiators as described for example in the patent DE 4136134 composed of a glass plate on the front, a layer heater, a reflective bottom plate, and a layer for insulation of the any opposite to the support, generally a wall against which the radiator is fixed.
- heated mirrors that can be used in a bathroom such as that described in patent FR 2,666,475 and comprising a layer reflective.
- US patent 4052588 describes a heating panel comprising two glass panels between which a heating element is arranged specially cut from metal foil. Glass panels slightly spaced so as not to tighten the heating element are mounted on a support comprising two lateral uprights, said uprights being able to be connected by bars that can be used to support laundry to be dried.
- the object of the invention below is a towel dryer with glass walls of economical construction such that it allows the use of manufactured elements in large quantities for other applications without requiring heavy specific investments
- an electric towel radiator intended to be hung on a support wall, comprising a panel heater composed of at least one front panel made of tempered glass the back of which is glued a multilayer plate heating element incorporating a resistive circuit, the external faces of this plate being self-adhesive cold, and a second tempered glass panel glued to the back.
- This use of a self-adhesive cold heating element allows a very simple manufacturing of the heating panel, requiring no cooking with heavy means such as ovens or ovens.
- the panel forms a rigid sub-assembly that can be easily manipulated during assembly of the radiator.
- the multilayer plate heating element preferably comprises a circuit aluminum heater adhering to a first polyethylene terephthalate film (PET), a second PET film being hot bonded using a film polyethylene intermediate on the heating circuit and its first film support, the external faces of the PET films being made cold adhesive by an acrylic film.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate film
- the self-adhesive heating element with its PET films and its circuit aluminum has the advantage of being of common manufacture and use, by example for heating ceilings or walls of rooms. Therefore it can be produced economically without new investment, the temperature of operation of the towel radiator being limited to a value lower than softening acrylic.
- the different layers of plastic and glass are different and more or less dense colors. This allows nuances and combinations that are easy to diversify on devices in the same range for give the desired appearance on the front panel.
- At least one of the different layers or glass panels includes drawings or traces visible on the front panel and / or is rendered opaque.
- the glass front panel can be engraved, or receive a serigraphy and / or receive an opaque enamel on the back side.
- the accessible front face of the first glass panel is coated with a layer having an anti-fouling function.
- the front panel receives a thin film of epoxy resin, which is less sensitive to fingerprints than glass while remaining translucent.
- the heating panel is supported by a frame spaced from the wall by a hanging support and has two substantially vertical uprights on which are fixed one or more towel holders.
- the heating panel is separated from the wall by a few centimeters by a support and power adjusted so that the wall does not receive too much radiation which avoids having to isolate the back of the panel.
- the two vertical uprights have a groove which receives and protects the edge of the heating panel.
- the panel is thus immobilized both back and forth and laterally.
- the fixing of the panel is completed by two pawns which cross partially the vertical uprights perpendicular to the groove and engage in two cells formed in the edges of the heating panel.
- the frame has two horizontal rules including U-shaped sections receive the upper and lower edges of the heating panel and whose ends are embedded in the uprights.
- the lower horizontal rule is perforated in the lower part of holes distributed along its length. This arrangement allows the water which could, as a result of projections, run along the panel and infiltrate between the heating panel and the lower ruler.
- the two uprights are connected by two metal bars to the back of the heating panel on which the wall mount hangs.
- the towel holder has at least one horizontal bar parallel to the plane of the heating panel and the ends of which join the vertical uprights.
- the towel dryer has a thermostatic regulation including the control is located in the upper part of the front of the device.
- a thermostatic regulation including the control is located in the upper part of the front of the device.
- the towel dryer radiator consists a rectangular heating panel 1, a frame 2 having two uprights 3 and 4 substantially vertical, two rules one upper 5 and one lower 6 and two bars 7 and 8 (fig. 3, 4) connecting the two uprights.
- Pawns 9 (fig. 6, 7) complete fixing the panel 1 in the frame 2.
- a wall support 11 (fig. 2) fixed to the wall supports the frame 2.
- Bars 12 parallel to the panel 1 advantageously offset from each other serve as a towel holder.
- the bars 12 have their ends curved up to the uprights 3, 4 on which they are fixed.
- the heating panel 1 is advantageously made up of several layers which are from front to back (fia 4A): a tempered glass 101 with a thickness of approximately 4 to 6 millimeters, a heating element 100 in the form of a complex sheet, and a glass hardened 108 of thickness 4 to 6 millimeters, the heating element 100 successively comprising a sheet of acrylic adhesive 102 of thickness 0.05 to 0.2 millimeters, a film of PET 103 of thickness 0.05 to 0.1 millimeters, an electric heating circuit 104 in aluminum 0.009 thickness 0.012 millimeters adhering to this film, a sheet of adhesive 105 in PE thickness 0.05 to 0.2 millimeters, a second film in PET 106 of thickness 0.05 to 0.1 millimeters, a sheet of acrylic adhesive 107 0.05 to 0.2 millimeters thick.
- the whole is made integral by adhesion of the glass 101.108 to the acrylic films 102.107 from the cold assembly.
- the self-adhesive heating element 100 having PET films 103,106 and an aluminum circuit 104 hot-assembled is a current supply, for example the reference TI1205512S2AA from the company Techniba.
- the first layers of glass 101 and of films 102, 103 have pronounced or non-pronounced shades to combine in order to obtain on the facade various color effects making it possible to simply differentiate different devices from the range and to mask the heating circuit 104. Drawings can also be seen by transparency of the first glass 101 which can also be engraved.
- the accessible front face made of glass 101 is treated with a fine coating of an epoxy resin so as to make it less sensitive to dirt and particularly to fingerprints. This is particularly useful if the face has a sanded appearance to suppress shine, this finish being very sensitive to dirt.
- the heating panel 1 is held laterally in the grooves of the uprights 3 and 4 of frame 2. These grooves are visible in the partial section views 5 to 7. Pawns 9 partially cross the uprights 3 and 4 to engage in a corresponding cell 15 of panel 1 as can be seen in FIG. 6, this which immobilizes the panel 1 vertically.
- An equivalent solution is indicated in Figure 7 where the pin 9 is replaced by a rise 9 of the groove bottom.
- Panel 1 is protected on its edge at the top by a ruler metal 5 whose U-shaped section allows its fitting on the edge of the panel.
- the same protection is provided at the bottom of panel 1 by a rule 6.
- the rules 5 and 6 are embedded in the amounts 3 and 4 by their ends as the shows figure 5 where the parts are represented in the position they occupy just before embedding.
- the lower rule 6 of which the branches of the U-section are at the top is perforated with several holes distributed along its length in the lower part so as to evacuate the water which would come to trickle down along panel 1 and seep into the ruler.
- the closing of the frame 2 constituted by the amounts 3, 4 and the rules 5, 6 is made final by metal bars 7, 8 connecting the two uprights 3, 4. These bars 7, 8 are also used for hanging the towel dryer on the wall mount 11.
- a regulation box 13 placed at the top and at the rear of the device makes it possible to adjust the device by acting on controls 14 passing through panel 1.
- the support 11 of the towel dryer moves it away from its support wall by a few centimeters and the power density of the heating panel is adjusted so that the radiation received by the support wall is not excessive.
Description
La présente invention concerne les radiateurs électriques et plus particulièrement les radiateurs sèche-serviettes.The present invention relates to electric heaters and more especially the towel radiators.
Le verre utilisé comme matériau de construction des parois de radiateurs a pour avantage sa présentation agréable et ses qualités thermiques dont une effusivité suffisamment faible pour que le toucher à chaud n'entraíne pas des sensations de brûlure trop vives même aux limites que les normes habituelles imposent, et sa forte émissivité.The glass used as construction material for the radiator walls has advantage its pleasant presentation and its thermal qualities including a sufficiently low effusiveness so that hot touching does not cause burning sensations too strong even at the limits than the usual standards impose, and its high emissivity.
Aussi on trouve de nombreux appareils chauffants dont les parois accessibles sont en verre. Parmi les appareils destinés au chauffage des locaux on trouve par exemple celui décrit dans le brevet WO9627271 composé de plusieurs vitrages transparents espacés pour favoriser la convection et dont l'un au moins comporte un film chauffant transparent.Also there are many heaters with accessible walls are made of glass. Among the devices intended for space heating we find for example that described in patent WO9627271 composed of several transparent glazing spaced to promote convection and one of which at less has a transparent heating film.
On connaít également des radiateurs tels que décrits par exemple dans le brevet DE 4136134 composés d'une plaque de verre en façade, une couche chauffante, une plaque de fond réfléchissante, et une couche pour l'isolation du tout vis à vis du support, généralement un mur contre lequel le radiateur est fixé.We also know radiators as described for example in the patent DE 4136134 composed of a glass plate on the front, a layer heater, a reflective bottom plate, and a layer for insulation of the any opposite to the support, generally a wall against which the radiator is fixed.
On connaít également de nombreux vitrages chauffants réalisés pour servir de pare brise ou même de panneaux chauffants convecteurs et radiants tels que décrit par exemple dans le brevet FR2652037. Ces vitrages feuilletés comportent une couche intermédiaire chauffante et une couche de matière plastique servant à la liaison.We also know many heated windows made to serve as windshield or even convector and radiant heating panels such as described for example in patent FR2652037. These laminated windows have a heating intermediate layer and a material layer plastic used for bonding.
On connaít également des miroirs chauffants utilisables dans une salle de bain tels que celui décrit dans le brevet FR 2666475 et comportant une couche réfléchissante.We also know heated mirrors that can be used in a bathroom such as that described in patent FR 2,666,475 and comprising a layer reflective.
Mais ces appareils ne sont pas adaptés au séchage du linge, en particulier ils n'ont pas de support de serviettes. Par ailleurs dans de nombreuses réalisations la transparence est inutilement maintenue quand on veut réaliser un sèche-serviettes avec ces éléments connus, et la réalisation incompatible avec des séries moyennes ou petites.But these devices are not suitable for drying clothes, in particular they do not have a towel rack. In addition, in many achievements transparency is unnecessarily maintained when we want to achieve a towel warmer with these known elements, and the incompatible embodiment with medium or small series.
Ainsi le brevet US 4052588 décrit un panneau chauffant comportant deux panneaux de verre entre lesquels est disposé un élément chauffant spécialement découpé dans une feuille métallique. Les panneaux de verre légèrement espacés pour ne pas serrer l'élément chauffant sont montés sur un support comportant deux montants latéraux, lesdits montants pouvant être reliés par des barres utilisables pour supporter du linge à sécher.Thus, US patent 4052588 describes a heating panel comprising two glass panels between which a heating element is arranged specially cut from metal foil. Glass panels slightly spaced so as not to tighten the heating element are mounted on a support comprising two lateral uprights, said uprights being able to be connected by bars that can be used to support laundry to be dried.
Par ailleurs on connaít les brevets concernant des sèche serviettes tels que WO9814105 où les parois chauffantes sont métalliques ou en matière plastique, ne profitant pas des qualités des parois en verre.Furthermore we know the patents for towel dryers such as WO9814105 where the heating walls are metallic or made of material plastic, not taking advantage of the qualities of the glass walls.
L'invention ci-après a pour but un sèche-serviettes à parois en verre de construction économique telle qu'elle permette l'utilisation d'éléments fabriqués en grande quantité pour d'autres applications sans nécessiter d'investissements spécifiques lourdsThe object of the invention below is a towel dryer with glass walls of economical construction such that it allows the use of manufactured elements in large quantities for other applications without requiring heavy specific investments
Le but de l'invention est atteint par un radiateur sèche serviette électrique, destiné à être accroché sur une paroi support, comportant un panneau chauffant composé d'au moins un panneau de face avant en verre trempé à l'arrière duquel est collé un élément chauffant en plaque multicouches incorporant un circuit résistif, les faces externes de cette plaque étant auto-adhésives à froid, et d'un deuxième panneau en verre trempé collé à l'arrière.The object of the invention is achieved by an electric towel radiator, intended to be hung on a support wall, comprising a panel heater composed of at least one front panel made of tempered glass the back of which is glued a multilayer plate heating element incorporating a resistive circuit, the external faces of this plate being self-adhesive cold, and a second tempered glass panel glued to the back.
Cette utilisation d'un élément chauffant auto-adhésif à froid permet une fabrication très simple du panneau chauffant, ne nécessitant pas de cuisson avec des moyens lourds tels que des fours ou des étuves. Le panneau forme un sous ensemble rigide facilement manipulable pendant l'assemblage du radiateur.This use of a self-adhesive cold heating element allows a very simple manufacturing of the heating panel, requiring no cooking with heavy means such as ovens or ovens. The panel forms a rigid sub-assembly that can be easily manipulated during assembly of the radiator.
L'élément chauffant en plaque multicouches comporte de préférence un circuit chauffant en aluminium adhérant à un premier film en polyéthylènetéréphtalate (PET), un deuxième film en PET étant collé à chaud à l'aide d'un film intermédiaire en polyéthylène sur le circuit chauffant et son premier film support, les faces extérieures des films PET étant rendues adhésives à froid par un film acrylique.The multilayer plate heating element preferably comprises a circuit aluminum heater adhering to a first polyethylene terephthalate film (PET), a second PET film being hot bonded using a film polyethylene intermediate on the heating circuit and its first film support, the external faces of the PET films being made cold adhesive by an acrylic film.
L'élément chauffant auto-adhésif avec ses films en PET et son circuit en aluminium a l'avantage d'être de fabrication et d'utilisation courantes, par exemple pour le chauffage des plafonds ou des murs des locaux. De ce fait il peut être produit économiquement sans nouvel investissement, la température de fonctionnement du radiateur sèche-serviettes étant limitée à une valeur inférieure à celle du ramollissement de l'acrylique.The self-adhesive heating element with its PET films and its circuit aluminum has the advantage of being of common manufacture and use, by example for heating ceilings or walls of rooms. Therefore it can be produced economically without new investment, the temperature of operation of the towel radiator being limited to a value lower than softening acrylic.
De préférence les différentes couches de matière plastique et de verre sont de couleurs différentes et plus ou moins denses. Ceci permet des nuances et des combinaisons faciles à diversifier sur les appareils d'une même gamme pour donner l'aspect voulu en face avant.Preferably the different layers of plastic and glass are different and more or less dense colors. This allows nuances and combinations that are easy to diversify on devices in the same range for give the desired appearance on the front panel.
Eventuellement au moins une des différentes couches ou panneaux en verre comporte des dessins ou des tracés visibles en face avant et/ou est rendue opaque. Par exemple le panneau avant en verre peut être gravé, ou recevoir une sérigraphie et/ou recevoir un émail opaque sur la face arrière.Optionally at least one of the different layers or glass panels includes drawings or traces visible on the front panel and / or is rendered opaque. For example the glass front panel can be engraved, or receive a serigraphy and / or receive an opaque enamel on the back side.
De préférence la face avant accessible du premier panneau en verre est revêtue d'une couche ayant une fonction anti-salissures. De cette façon l'entretien du sèche-serviettes est facilité. Par exemple la face avant reçoit une fine pellicule de résine époxy, laquelle est moins sensible aux traces de doigts que le verre tout en restant translucide.Preferably the accessible front face of the first glass panel is coated with a layer having an anti-fouling function. In this way maintenance of the towel rail is facilitated. For example, the front panel receives a thin film of epoxy resin, which is less sensitive to fingerprints than glass while remaining translucent.
Le panneau chauffant est supporté par un cadre écarté de la paroi par un support d'accrochage et comporte deux montants sensiblement verticaux sur lesquels sont fixés un ou des supports de serviettes.The heating panel is supported by a frame spaced from the wall by a hanging support and has two substantially vertical uprights on which are fixed one or more towel holders.
Le panneau chauffant est écarté du mur de quelques centimètres par un support et la puissance ajustée pour que le mur ne reçoive pas trop de rayonnement ce qui évite d'avoir à isoler l'arrière du panneau.The heating panel is separated from the wall by a few centimeters by a support and power adjusted so that the wall does not receive too much radiation which avoids having to isolate the back of the panel.
De préférence les deux montants verticaux comportent une gorge qui reçoit et protège la tranche du panneau chauffant.Preferably the two vertical uprights have a groove which receives and protects the edge of the heating panel.
Le panneau est ainsi immobilisé aussi bien d'avant en arrière que latéralement. The panel is thus immobilized both back and forth and laterally.
De préférence la fixation du panneau est complétée par deux pions qui traversent partiellement les montants verticaux perpendiculairement à la gorge et s'engagent dans deux alvéoles ménagées dans les bords du panneau chauffant.Preferably the fixing of the panel is completed by two pawns which cross partially the vertical uprights perpendicular to the groove and engage in two cells formed in the edges of the heating panel.
Ceci assure le maintien dans tous les sens du panneau dans son plan tout en permettant un jeu de dilatation substantiel dans les gorges des montants.This keeps the panel in all directions in its plane while allowing substantial expansion play in the grooves of the uprights.
De préférence le cadre comporte deux règles horizontales dont les sections en U reçoivent les bords supérieur et inférieur du panneau chauffant et dont les extrémités sont encastrées dans les montants.Preferably the frame has two horizontal rules including U-shaped sections receive the upper and lower edges of the heating panel and whose ends are embedded in the uprights.
Ces règles peuvent avoir un rôle de soutien du panneau qu'elles protègent sur ses tranches supérieure et inférieure.These rules can have a supporting role for the panel they protect on its upper and lower slices.
Avantageusement la règle horizontale inférieure est perforée en partie basse de trous répartis sur sa longueur. Cette disposition permet d'évacuer l'eau qui pourrait, à la suite de projections, ruisseler le long du panneau et s'infiltrer entre le panneau chauffant et la règle inférieure.Advantageously, the lower horizontal rule is perforated in the lower part of holes distributed along its length. This arrangement allows the water which could, as a result of projections, run along the panel and infiltrate between the heating panel and the lower ruler.
De préférence les deux montants sont reliés par deux barres métalliques à l'arrière du panneau chauffant sur lesquelles s'accroche le support mural.Preferably the two uprights are connected by two metal bars to the back of the heating panel on which the wall mount hangs.
Ce sont ces barres qui terminent l'assemblage du panneau sur son cadre et permettent l'accrochage au mur de façon discrète étant cachées par le panneau.These are the bars that complete the assembly of the panel on its frame and allow discreet hanging on the wall being hidden by the panel.
De préférence le support de serviettes comporte au moins une barre horizontale parallèle au plan du panneau chauffant et dont les extrémités rejoignent les montants verticaux.Preferably the towel holder has at least one horizontal bar parallel to the plane of the heating panel and the ends of which join the vertical uprights.
De préférence le sèche-serviettes comporte une régulation thermostatique dont la commande est située en partie haute de la face avant de l'appareil. De cette façon les utilisateurs ont un accès facile à cette commande et l'éventuel récepteur de télécommande a le meilleur dégagement possible sur l'environnementPreferably the towel dryer has a thermostatic regulation including the control is located in the upper part of the front of the device. Of this way users have easy access to this command and the eventual remote control receiver has the best possible clearance on the environment

Dans une réalisation particulière (fig1) le radiateur sèche serviettes est constitué
d'un panneau chauffant rectangulaire 1, d'un cadre 2 ayant deux montants 3 et 4
sensiblement verticaux, deux règles une supérieure 5 et une inférieure 6 et deux
barres 7 et 8 (fig. 3, 4) reliant les deux montants. Des pions 9 (fig. 6, 7) complètent
la fixation du panneau 1 dans le cadre 2. Un support mural 11 (fig. 2) fixé au mur
supporte le cadre 2. Des barres 12 parallèles au panneau 1 avantageusement
décalées les unes par rapport aux autres servent de support de serviettes. Les
barres 12 ont leurs extrémités recourbées jusqu'aux montants 3, 4 sur lesquels
elles sont fixées.In a particular embodiment (fig1) the towel dryer radiator consists
a
Le panneau chauffant 1 est avantageusement constitué de plusieurs couches qui
sont d'avant en arrière (fia 4A): un verre trempé 101 d'épaisseur d'environ 4 à 6
millimètres, un élément chauffant 100 en forme de feuille complexe, et un verre
trempé 108 d'épaisseur 4 à 6 millimètres, l'élément chauffant 100 comprenant
successivement une feuille d'adhésif acrylique 102 d'épaisseur 0.05 à 0.2
millimètres, un film en PET 103 d'épaisseur 0.05 à 0.1 millimètres, un circuit
électrique chauffant 104 en aluminium d'épaisseur 0.009 0.012 millimètres
adhérant à ce film, une feuille d'adhésif 105 en PE d'épaisseur 0.05 à 0.2
millimètres, un deuxième film en PET 106 d'épaisseur 0.05 à 0.1 millimètres, une
feuille d'adhésif acrylique 107 d'épaisseur 0.05 à 0.2 millimètres. Le tout est rendu
solidaire par adhérence du verre 101,108 sur les films acryliques 102,107 dès
l'assemblage à froid. L'élément chauffant 100 auto adhésif ayant des films PET
103,106 et un circuit en aluminium 104 assemblés à chaud est une fourniture
courante, par exemple la référence TI1205512S2AA de la société Techniba.The
Les premières couches de verre 101 et de films 102,103 ont des teintes
prononcées ou non pour se conjuguer afin d'obtenir en façade des effets de
couleurs variés permettant de différencier simplement différents appareils de la
gamme et de masquer le circuit chauffant 104. Des dessins peuvent également
être vus par transparence du premier verre 101 lequel peut également être gravé.The first layers of
Avantageusement la face avant accessible en verre 101 est traitée par un
revêtement fin d'une résine époxy de façon à la rendre moins sensible aux
salissures et particulièrement aux traces de doigts. Ceci est particulièrement utile
si la face à un aspect sablé pour supprimer la brillance, cette finition étant très
sensible aux salissures.Advantageously, the accessible front face made of
Le panneau chauffant 1 est maintenu latéralement dans des gorges des montants
3 et 4 du cadre 2. Ces gorges sont visibles sur les vues partielles en coupe 5 à 7.
Des pions 9 traversent partiellement les montants 3 et 4 pour s'engager dans une
alvéole correspondante 15 du panneau 1 comme on peut le voir en figure 6, ce
qui immobilise le panneau 1 verticalement. Une solution équivalente est indiquée
en figure 7 où le pion 9 est remplacé par une remontée 9 du fond de gorge.The
Le panneau 1 est protégé sur sa tranche à la partie supérieure par une règle
métallique 5 dont la section en U permet son emboítage sur le bord du panneau.
La même protection est apportée au bas du panneau 1 par une règle 6. Les
règles 5 et 6 s'encastrent dans les montants 3 et 4 par leurs extrémités comme le
montre la figure 5 où les pièces sont représentées dans la position qu'elles
occupent juste avant l'encastrement. Avantageusement la règle inférieure 6 dont
les branches de la section en U sont vers le haut est perforée de plusieurs trous
répartis sur sa longueur en partie basse de façon à évacuer l'eau qui viendrait à
ruisseler le long du panneau 1 et à s'infiltrer dans la règle.
La fermeture du cadre 2 constitué par les montants 3, 4 et les règles 5, 6 est
rendue définitive par des barres métalliques 7, 8 reliant les deux montants 3, 4.
