Description

The invention relates to a radiator cover, in particular for panel radiators, consisting of a front panel, at least one side panel and an upper grille, the trim parts releasably via cut to length Cross members are connected to each other.

Subsequent linings for panel radiators are in a wide variety Configurations known. Such radiator covers are either directly or indirectly via clamping and screwing elements on the radiator attached and serve to embellish or optically design the respective Panel radiators according to the individual wishes of each customer. Preferably such radiator covers consist of a front cover, two side panels and an upper grille, which is usually on the front and side panels are put on. For better air circulation points the upper grille on larger distances between the individual bars, while the radiator cover is open at the bottom. From the aforementioned For reasons, the warming air can rise from below and through the upper Extend the grille into the room. The fact that the panel radiators for the majority of the heating system water flows through them few mounting options directly on the panel radiator, but can be in In individual cases, a screw fastening may be provided on individual cross struts. Clamping elements are much more common, which are the plate radiators reach behind or be hung in the panel radiator and by a Screw connection can be fixed locally. The clamping elements can in turn immediately or indirectly connected to the radiator cover.

DE 295 11 988, for example, attaches the front panel to one Plate radiator known, which is bent at its upper end and U-shaped be attached to one or more S-shaped retaining clips can. The retaining clips are placed on the top edge of the radiator panels attached, while the lower edge of the front panel at the lower end of the panel radiator is fixable. From EP 0 335 938 a front panel is known, the the front surface of the meandering convector plate is glued.

From DE 90 07 630 a side panel is also known, which on the bent End of the cover plate is attached and attached to the radiator. Further is the arrangement of the bars for the grille, which are welded onto crossbars are known from DE 43 34 705, in which the grille on Shoulders rests, which are clamped on the upper edge of the convector plate. at this version, the side panel is attached with hook-shaped Fasteners at the top and bottom of the convector sheet are clamped and to which the side panels can be screwed.

From the patent specification CH-A-613 766 is a kit for a radiator cover known that contains support rails attached to the radiator fins, soft a bent leg for hanging front elements, for example ceramic elements. The front elements are in the upper and in lower area hooked into a carrier rail. In this version is however disadvantageous that the front elements only hold due to their weight and due to carelessness slightly pushed up out of the carrier rails can be.

From the Swiss patent 379 727 is also a covering for on outer walls of room ventilation devices known from a frame construction exist, which is attached to the floor or the outer wall and serves to hold the vertical front walls. Through the screw technology used this assembly requires a considerable amount of time and is therefore very expensive.

From the Dutch patent 6 705 061 is a cladding device known with rib-shaped radiators, which consists of support angles, which on put on the shoulders of the individual ribs and with one another under a support rail are connected, the carrier rails from one to the adjacent Mounting brackets run and for hanging vertically arranged Side panels are suitable.

The known types of fastening for radiator covers are generally for the dimensions of a particular panel radiator are provided and can only can be used for the respective type. For smaller or larger panel radiators Correspondingly dimensioned radiator covers must be obtained from specialist dealers be held up. Furthermore, the individual fastening methods must different sizes of the panel radiators can be individually adjusted so that the assembly can usually only be carried out by a specialist.

The invention has for its object to provide a radiator cover, which can be used for several differently sized panel radiators and it also enables easy installation without special tools.

Due to the modular arrangement of individual front parts, the The length of the radiator cover can be set individually and enables the Can be used with many panel radiators of different lengths. Opposite the Length of the panel radiator varies the height only to a small extent, so that either front parts only of one height or, if necessary, front parts in graded Height must be offered. Due to the advantageous connection of the individual Front parts using a crossbar that can be cut to length will be sufficient Cohesion of the individual front parts enables, the cross member also with simple means, such as a side cutter, to the length of the Panel radiator can be adjusted. Due to the crossbars that can be cut to length and the individual module-like front parts thus advantageously exist for a non-specialist the possibility of a radiator cover on the dimensions to adapt the existing panel radiators and thus leads to the main advantage that storage is limited to a few sizes can be. Furthermore, due to the constant dimensions and a resulting higher number of items a significant reduction in Manufacturing costs take place, so that such an embodiment, for example in commercially available DIY stores can be offered for self-assembly. to According to the invention, simple assembly is the use of cutouts and Tabs provided, which either the front parts or the crossbar are assigned and correspond to each other so that the individual front parts into the crossbeams, which are arranged parallel above and below, be hung up. There is the possibility of several cutouts and Provide tabs for a single front part to ensure sufficient stability achieve. There is also the option of also using the individual front parts Cutouts and tabs are provided, so that an additional locking of the individual front parts with each other is made possible. For fastening the crossbars on the plate heater, for example, the attachment via clamping elements take place at the top and bottom of the panel radiator can be attached and can be fixed locally using a screw connection. The Fixation takes place directly opposite the fixed panel radiator, while the clamping elements also carry the radiator cover. The Recesses are preferably provided for the punched or to include embossed tabs, the shape of the corresponding Tabs a locking or non-locking clamping can be provided or it there is the possibility of the tabs facing the existing cutouts to bend and thus a sliding apart of the assembled parts prevent. By using the recesses and tabs in combination with the existing front parts there is also the possibility that several crossbeams are indirectly connected to each other via the front panels, so that a fixed crossbar length also creates the possibility to build up long radiator casings. This is advantageous the arrangement of the seam between two crossbeams is done behind a front part, so that there is sufficient stiffening of the radiator cover over the cross members and front parts.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cover grid is a Has oversize and can be shortened in length and / or depth. Due to the different lengths and depths of the panel radiators Use of the radiator cladding according to the invention further Cover grille proposed, which is offered in an oversize and in the Length and / or depth can be shortened, so that only a few Cover grille sizes are to be provided in stock.

Figure 1 shows in three views a single front part 1, which is preferably made of is made of a metallic material and a side one angled by 90 degrees Edge area 2 and an upper edge area angled by 90 degrees 3 has. The two edge regions 2, 3 merge seamlessly into one another formed, with a V-shaped incision 4 incorporated before the bending process is to the plant of the two edge areas 2, 3 with only an extremely small Allow parting line. The lower area of the front part 1 has none bent edge area, but it is also conceivable that the lower edge is shaped according to the above.

The lateral edge area 2 furthermore has two punched out in alignment Double recesses 5.6, which for hanging the front part 1 on the Crossbar according to Figure 2 are provided. The double recesses 5.6 exist from a middle tab 7, which is integral with the rest of the front part 1 is connected and has a perforation formed by a slot 8, soft enables easier bending after assembly. Grab the tabs 7 here in existing slot-shaped recesses of the cross members. To the Hanging the front parts 1 in the cross-beam shown in Figure 2 is to both A punched recess 9, 10 is provided in the sides of the tab 7, in which the angled edge areas of the crossbeam come to rest. The upper Double recess 5 and the lower double recess 6 are further in both Edge regions 2 are mirror-symmetrical and have a nose 11, which are directed against each other in pairs and into another existing one Engage the crossbar slot for better fixation. The arranged at the same height Double recesses 5 and 6 are identical in both edge areas 2 available. After assembly, the crossbar shown in Figure 2 is transverse for the longitudinal extension of the front part 1 in the double recesses 5 and 6 and is releasably connected to the tab 7 after bending.

Several of the front parts 1 can be arranged side by side for assembly be and will be in the manner described above with the crossbars connected. However, it is conceivable that through additional recesses and tabs the front parts 1 are connected to one another. For this it is necessary that 2 slots are formed on one side of the edge area, while a tab-shaped punching is formed on the opposite edge region 2 which engages directly in the slot and thus for further stability the front parts 1 contributes to each other.

Figure 2 shows a crossbar 15 in three views, which usually consist of one metallic material and two at right angles on its longitudinal edge and has opposite bends, so that a U-shaped Profiling with two legs 16, 17 angled by 90 degrees arises, the both leg ends 19.20 are each bent by 90 degrees and parallel to Middle part 18 of the crossbar 15 run.

The legs 16, 17 with their leg ends 19, 20 lie after assembly in the Recesses 9, 10 of the front part 1. For receiving the tab 7 of the front part 1 is a slot 21 in the middle part 18 and a slot 22 in at equidistant intervals the respective legs 16,17 incorporated. The slot 21 is for receiving the Tab 7 provided while the slot 22 for receiving the nose 11 of the Front part 1 is provided. The equidistant distances of the slots 21, 22 are here adapted to the width of the individual front parts 1 and allow on the ground the predetermined slot width, hooking two adjacent front parts 1. After assembly, there is the possibility of opposing the tabs 7 of the front parts 1 to bend and thus an independent loosening of the assembled Prevent parts.

To fasten the crossbar 15, there is also a middle between two slots 21, 22 a recess 23 is provided in the legs 16, 17. The recess 23 extends essentially from the middle part 18 to the angled Leg ends 19,20 and is T-shaped, the recess 23 in Middle part is large and the introduction of one shown in Figure 4 Clamping element or a clamping part shown in Figure 5 allows. to better introduction of both clamping elements, the recess 23 is in two mirror images executed narrow slot areas 24, 25, which the insertion enable the clamping element or clamping part and in this respect to the material thickness are adjusted. A displacement of the clamping elements or clamping parts in the Recess 23 leads to a releasable locked connection with the crossbar 15th

Figure 3 shows an upper grille 30, which consists of several arranged in parallel Lattice bars 31 made of flat iron or drop-shaped bent in cross section Sheet metal strips exist, which are welded onto cross bars 32. The cross bars 32 are arranged twice in the middle area of the grille, while only one cross bar 32 is provided at each end. Between the middle cross bars 32, the bars 31 have notches 33 which cut through and cutting the cover grid 30 to length with simple manual means. The distances between the cross bars 32, which are double in the central area are adapted to the width of the front parts 1, so that the grille 30th together with the front part 1 and the cross member 15 the respective dimensions the plate heater can be adjusted. To further customize the Radiator paneling to allow the depth of the panel radiator the cross bars 32 also have notches, so that the number of bars 31 set for the upper grille 30 and a corresponding reduction can be made. Due to the chosen construction and the existing one Notches 33 there is, for example, the possibility of reducing the to make the upper grille 30 by a side cutter.

FIG. 4 shows a single clamping element 35 in a two-sided view from a U-shaped sheet metal part with two legs 36, 37 of different lengths consists. The shorter leg 37 is bent at right angles to the central part 38 and has a bore 39 in the center, on the inside of the leg 37 a nut 40 is welded in alignment, in which the not shown Clamping screw can be screwed in. The shorter leg 37 is used here to hang on the upper edge of the panel radiator and can by means of Clamping screw, not shown, can be fixed on this.

The longer leg 36 is angled twice relative to the central part 38 and extends parallel to the shorter leg 37 at the end. The leg 36 is furthermore compared to the width of the clamping element 35 on both sides through a recess 41,42 reduced, which at the end of the leg 36 in a barb-shaped locking 43 passes. The width of the lock 43 is on the recess 23 or the slot areas 24, 25 of the crossbar 15 are adapted so that they pass through is made possible and after a displacement within the recess 23 Crossbar 15 leads to a lock with the same. The clamping elements 35 can here both on the upper and on the lower edge of the plate heater can be used to fasten the front parts 1 with crossbar 15. However, the use of the clamping elements 35 on the upper edge only takes place here when an upper cover grid 30 is not desired. In the case of an upper grille 30 the front parts 1 are fastened with crossbar 15 via lower ones Clamping elements 5 and a clamping part shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 shows a clamping part 45, which is also made of a metallic material is manufactured and on the one hand for fastening the front parts 1 with crossbar 15 and on the other hand is provided for receiving the upper cover grid 30. The Clamping part 45 is angled essentially rectangularly and has a first Leg 46 for fastening the front parts 1 and a second leg 47 for Inclusion of the upper grille 30. The leg 46 is at the free end through two lateral recesses 48, 49, which are approximately rectangular are T-shaped, with two locking lugs at the free end 50.51 are formed. The locking lugs 50, 51 are just like the locking 43 of the clamping element 35 for engaging in the recess 23 of the crossbar 15 provided. For this reason, the locking lugs are 50.51 in their size adapted to the shape of the lock 43 and cause after assembly the clamping parts 45 with the crossbar 15 a bracket of the whole Radiator cover on the top edge of the panel radiator. The opposite end of leg 46 has one from the second leg 47 punched out tab 52, which also has an elongated hole 53. The Elongated hole 53 serves to receive the cross bars 32 of the upper grille 30, this means that after installing the front and side panels, the top Cover grid 30 hooked into the existing elongated holes 53 of the clamping parts 45 can be, in addition, the bars 31 in rectangular shapes 54 of the second leg 47 come to rest. With the second leg 47 it is essentially only the two remaining edge areas 55, 56, which is angled upwards from the plane of the leg 47 by 90 degrees are and the formation 54 at equidistant intervals for receiving the Have bars 31. In contrast, the middle part of the leg 47 faces a punched out, with the leg portion 57 remaining at the bottom angled by 90 degrees and shortened compared to the length of the leg 47. The angled leg part 57 forms a U-shape together with the leg 46 and is for hanging in the upper edge area of the panel radiator intended. For screw fastening, there is one in the middle in the leg part 57 Bore 58, which has an aligned welded nut 59. In the Nut 59 can be screwed a screw, which with its front side presses against the panel radiator and thus local attachment of the Clamping parts 45 allows. The clamping part 45 is like the upper grille 30 manufactured in an excess length and furthermore has notches or incisions on, a shortening of the remaining edge areas 55, 56 of the Leg 47 allows and thus an adaptation to the plate radiator depth given is.

FIG. 6 shows a side view of a radiator cover 60 in the assembled state, consisting of the front part 1, two cross members 15, a lower clamping element 35 and an upper clamping element 45 and the upper grille 30. For a better overview, the radiator cover 60 is without the panel radiator shown. The cross members 15 lie in the double recesses provided 5,6 of the front part 1 and are with these over the in the slots 21st inserted tabs 7 connected. Furthermore, the clamping element 35 and the clamping part 45 with the lock 43 or the locking lugs 50, 51 in the corresponding recess 23, so that an immediate assembly on the Panel radiator is possible. On the horizontally aligned leg 47 of the Clamping part 5 also rests the upper cover grid 30 with the grid bars 31 in the formations provided for this purpose. The length of the edge regions 55, 56 of the leg 47 is here as well as the depth of the grille 30 to the dimensions adapted to the plate radiator and usually has a length according to the thickness of the panel radiator. The number of front parts becomes 1 determined by the length of the panel radiator.

FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of a radiator cover 61, which essentially from the aforementioned individual parts with the corresponding Clamping devices exist. The radiator cover 61 is in a plan view. a front view and two side views. From the front view is can be seen that the plate heater 61 has a total of four front parts 1 and by two side parts 62, 63, which are arranged at right angles to the front parts 1 are completed. The front parts 1 extend over the entire height of the Plate radiator 61 and have a right-angled edge region above 3 on. The cover grid 30, which is directly adjacent to the edge area 3 rests on two clamping parts 45. With the clamping parts 45 is the radiator cover 61 to be attached to the plate heater, not shown. The The two side parts 42, 43 are designed differently because of the one to be accommodated Supply lines for the panel radiator. The left side part 62 has a closed front and is at the depth of the panel radiator adapted, while the right side part 63 consists of a narrow angle plate. Both side parts 42, 43 are in the upper area by, for example, one Plastic cap 64 completed. Instead of a plastic cap 64 there is Possibility of a metallic cap or even a one-piece molding of the side part 63 to choose.

FIG. 8 shows a partial view of the upper corner area of the plate heating element 61 with the grille 30 and the side part 63, which in the embodiment shown a rounding 65 in the edge region of the radiator cover 61 having.

Figure 9 shows a further embodiment of a plate heater 66, which in essentially corresponds to the plate heater 61. There is only one difference on the outer front parts, which are designed as front edge parts 67, 68 are. The front edge parts 67, 68 are shortened in height compared to the front parts 1 executed and have a drawn around the corner in the upper area End cap 69.70, which is on the one hand across the width of the front edge part 67.68 and on the other hand about the depth or at least partly about the depth of the Panel radiator extends. The end caps 69,70 take hold simultaneously the cover grille 30, so that overall a positive closure is achieved. To supply the panel radiator are in one of the side parts Recesses 71, 72 are provided which lead through the supply pipes enable. Alternatively, there is the possibility that the front edge part 67 or 68 is not completely drawn around the depth of the panel radiator, but only has a narrow edge 73 which is opposite the front edge part 67 or 68 is bent by approx. 90 degrees and thus enables an elegant transition, which is not drawn in to the depth of the panel radiator.

FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of a radiator cover 75, which also from front parts 1 and an upper cover grid 30 with the associated Clamping elements and clamping parts as well as two front edge parts 76.77, which compared to the embodiment of Figure 9, a forward curve or curvature 78.79.
