Description

The invention relates to a device for holding a radiator, in particular a Röhrenradiators specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art Such devices are often used to attach radiators, for example on a wall. However, as an object is also a rail into consideration, which in turn can also be attached to a wall o. Ä., Or on another component.

At brackets for radiators, however, more and more demands are made. On the one hand, you should keep the radiator as inconspicuous as possible and be less visible from the outside. This is especially true in tube radiators, where one can usually see through the tubes. On the other hand, a secure mounting of the radiator is important to avoid accidents. Even if a person touches the radiator or pulls or tears on it, it must not come loose from the holder, as this can cause serious accidents and injure persons. In the known devices for holding tubular radiators, however, additional safety devices, such as Aushebesicherungen, previously unknown.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device which on the one hand provides additional security against unwanted disassembly of the radiator or an additional anti-lifting, but on the other hand is as inconspicuous and is rather hidden in the assembled state of the show side of the radiator ago. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1, which has the following special significance.

The invention provides a fuse element which has a fuse state and a release state. In the security state, a mounting or dismounting of the radiator is prevented while it is enabled in the release state. To establish the securing state, the securing element comprises the two ends of the holding region of the holder. The radiator is held so safe and especially protected against unwanted disassembly in the manner of a lift-out. The fuse element and the holder form a self-contained unit, from which the radiator is not disassembled by larger leverage forces that may possibly occur when pulling or tearing the radiator. The fuse element thus prevents disassembly of the radiator, for example by lifting, moving or tilting. Thus, the risk of accidents is greatly reduced. In addition, the fuse element can be made so small and inconspicuous that it does not disturb the overall aesthetic impression of the radiator. In particular, in tubular heaters, in which the tubes are often arranged in several rows one behind the other, seen from the direction of the object in the direction of space, the holder and the fuse elements from the show side of the radiator are hard to see her. Thus, the invention provides the ability to significantly reduce the risk of accidents while barely visible to create by the radiator relatively well hidden holding devices.

The fuse element can have a variety of forms. For example, it may be in the form of a clip, latch, or lever. There are also different ways to attach the fuse element to the holder. It may for example be pre-assembled and then has to be transferred after the installation of the radiator only from its release state in its security state. However, it is also possible to mount the fuse element after mounting the radiator on the holder. Here are particularly solvable mounting options. These can be designed differently, for example in the form of a latching, Klips- or plug connection, but also with the aid of other components such as screws, threaded pins, rivets or the like. It is also conceivable that the securing element itself is screwed to the holder. Finally, non-detachable mounting options are conceivable. In this case, the fuse element could then be replaced after disassembly of the radiator.

Fig. 1 shows a device according to the invention with holder 10. The holder 10 has a holding portion 11 and a mounting portion 14. By means of this fastening region 14, the holder 10 can be fastened to an object 50, as here on the wall 51.

The holding region 11 has two ends 12, 13. Furthermore, the fuse element 20 is still shown, but in a kind of exploded view, since it is present in the release state 20.2. The securing element 20 is formed as a bracket 21. This clip 21 can be plugged or clipped onto the ends 12, 13 of the holding region 11.

In order to bring about the securing state 20.1 of the securing element 20, four projections 24 are provided on the securing element 20, which projections can be brought into operative connection with four counter-projections 15 on the holding region 11 of the holder 10.

The fuse state 20.1 then show the Fig. 2 and 3 , The securing element 20 designed as a clamp 21 comprises the ends 12, 13 of the holding region 11 of the holder 10. The projections 24 of the securing element 20 engage with the counter-projections 15 of the holding region 11. A mounted in the holding portion 11 of the holder 10 radiator 40 would now be secured against unintentional disassembly. The holder 10 is designed so that the holding portion 11, the radiator 40 already holds before the fuse element 20 is mounted. This provides only additional security to prevent inadvertent disassembly of the radiator 40, even if strong forces act on the radiator 40. The securing element 20 can thus be mounted when the heating element 40 is arranged in the holding region 11 of the holder 10. Thus, a person involved with the assembly also has both hands free to effect the assembly of the securing elements 20.

The 4 to 6 show a second embodiment of the invention, but which in the Fig. 1 to 3 is very similar. Differences arise in the area of the securing element 20, which is also designed here as a clamp 21. However, in this embodiment, the securing element 20 has only two projections 24, which, however, are made larger than the projections 24 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG Fig. 1 to 3 , The bracket 21 itself is made larger. The counter-projections 15 are thus not arranged in the holding area 11 of the holder 10, but already in the attachment area 14. In the security state 20.1, in the Fig. 5 and 6 is shown, the securing element 20 thus comprises not only the Holding portion 11 with its ends 12 and 13, but also a part of the mounting portion 14 of the holder 10th

In principle, the counter-projections 15 can be arranged in almost every area of the holder 10, that is to say both in the holding region 11 and in the fastening region 14, but also directly at the ends 12, 13 of the holding region 11. The securing element 20 naturally also has to be adapted to the corresponding configuration be.

In the securing state 20.1 of the securing element 20, which in both the Fig. 2 and 3 as well as in the Fig. 5 and 6 is shown, the clamping element 21 formed as a securing element 20 is a Klips- or latching connection with the holder 10 a. This is done, as already mentioned, on the projections 24 and counter projections 15. To disassemble the radiator 40, then this Klips- or latching connection must first be solved and the fuse element 20 are removed. Thereafter, the holder 10 can be opened to release the radiator 40 for disassembly.

The Fig. 7 to 12 show a further embodiment of the invention. In the FIGS. 7 and 8 the securing element 20 is shown in its release position 20.2. The securing element 20 is secured to the one end 12 of the holding portion 11, wherein it is pivotable in the direction 23 of the other end 13 of the holding portion 11. The securing element 20 is thus preassembled movably on the holder 10 and can be pivoted to reach the securing state 20.1.

In addition, a stop element 31 is provided, which is designed here as a web. This provides a stop for the securing element 20 in its release position 20.1. This ensures that the securing element 20 is not pivoted too far in this release position 20.1, which could lead to a blockage during assembly of the radiator 40.

Among other things Fig. 8 It is clear that the holder 10 on the object 50, here on the rail 52, is arranged displaceably. This is particularly advantageous to compensate for manufacturing and / or assembly tolerances that occur especially in longer Heizköpern 40. In the present embodiment, the holder 10 is slidably supported on the rail 52. When mounting the radiator 40, the holder 10 is not yet fixed, so that the assembly is facilitated by moving the holder 10 on the rail 52. Only when mounted radiator 40 and the holder 10 is locked to the rail 52. This of course takes place in an analogous manner, if, instead of the rail 52, another object 50, for example a wall 51, is provided.

Furthermore, one recognizes the coupling member 22, which here in the present embodiment corresponds approximately to the shape of a screw head of a Phillips screw. Of course, other forms are possible, wherein the coupling member 22 may in particular comprise the form of various female and male coupling mechanisms known as well as tooth segments. For example, if a radiator 40 with multiple rows of tubes 42 mounted in the holding portion 11 of the holder 10, an operator can bring a part of a matching tool, in particular the head of a tool, with the coupling member 22 in operative connection and so for example by means of rotation of the tool 45 ° cause the securing state 20.1 starting from the release state 20.2 or reverse this process.

In the present embodiment serves as an object 50, a rail 52. Here, at its lower end 53, a receptacle 54 for the lower end of the radiator 40 on. However, this will be explained later in more detail.

As if from a synopsis of Fig. 7 to 10 becomes clear, the securing element 20 on its one side 26 a stop 25. At the other end 13 of the holding portion 11, however, is a fastening means 30th provided, which includes a counter-stop 16. Of course, it is also possible to provide the counter-stop 16 directly on the holder 10 or on the holding region 11. If now the securing element 20 is pivoted in the direction 23 of the other end 13, the stop 25 and the counter-stop 16 come into operative connection with each other. Conveniently, the fastening means 30 is spring-loaded in its initial position 32, for example in the form of a helical spring. The spring 32 acts in such a way that the fastening means 30 is pushed out of the holder 10. This has the advantage that the counter-stop 16 is better accessible on the fastening means 30 and the stop 25 and the counter-stop 16 are easier to bring into operative connection. Since in the present embodiment, the counter-stop 16 on the fastening means 30, here a screw is provided, after screwing the securing element 20, this screw can be actuated by being screwed deeper into the thread on the holder 10 and the object 50 to the To transfer fuse element 20 in its security state 20.1 and set there. This results in a particularly good and secure mounting of the securing element 20 in its securing state 20.1.

It when the fastener 30 and the coupling member 22 are configured so that they can be operated with the same tool is particularly advantageous. This simplifies the assembly or disassembly of the radiator 40th

As in particular from the Fig. 8 and 10 it can be seen, the fastening means 30 serves not only to set the securing element 20 in its securing state 20.1, but also to the holder 10 on the object 40, here on the rail 52, in addition to secure. In this case, it is particularly advantageous if, in the release state 20.2, the fastening means 30 is so far in operative connection with the object 50 that the holder 10 is already fastened to the object 50. Of course, it is also possible, the attachment of the holder 10 to the object 50 only by the operation of the To realize fastener 30. This is applicable to any type of objects 50, including walls 51 and rails 52.

If the holder 10 is displaceably arranged on the object 50, then in a particularly preferred exemplary embodiment the fastening means 30 can still assume a further function. It can namely be used to lock the holder 10 in its final position on the object 50. This is done in the present embodiment by a counter-element 27, which is designed here as a square nut. This is present behind a recess in the rail 52, which is penetrated by the fastening means 30, arranged and is in engagement with the thread of the fastening means 30. If the radiator 40 is mounted, the holder 10 in its final position and preferably the securing element 20 is transferred into its securing state 20.1, 30 can be achieved by operating the fastener, an end position of the entire components. This is a particularly simple and time-saving and cost-saving option.

The FIGS. 11 and 12 Finally, the device according to the invention from the Fig. 7 to 10 The radiator 40 is here a tube radiator with two parallel rows of tubes 42. These tubes 42 serve as part 41 of the radiator 40, which can be encompassed by the holding portion 11 of the holder 10 and the fuse element 20. The tube 42 is first introduced into the holding portion 11 of the holder 10, z. B. clipped. Thereafter, the transfer of the fuse element 20 from the release state 20.2 in the fuse state shown here 20.1. In the present case, a plurality of rail elements 52 are now provided, which each have a holder 10. The lower rail element 52 in this case has the receptacle 54, which additionally accommodates the lower region of the heating element 40 and comprises. The radiator 40 may preferably be arranged displaceably in the receptacle 54. In this case, it is also advantageous to arrange the holder or holders 10 displaceably on the object 50, since then a better adaptation of the holder 10 to the Radiator 40 can be done. Of course, it is also possible to provide only one rail 52, which has a plurality of holders 10.

It should also be noted that the present devices may be wholly or partly made of plastic and / or diecast zinc. When using plastic, there is the additional advantage that any noise and vibration through the plastic device can not be transmitted so easily, so that the device also serves for noise reduction.

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