Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a radiator, extruded or die-cast preferably in aluminium alloy, for room heating or similar applications, also having the function of "heated towel radiator”.
  • the invention therefore comes within the sector of systems for room heating, in particular in the field of decorative radiators.
  • radiators In this sector, a large number of radiators are already known having the dual purpose of heating the room in which they are installed and of keeping warm (or drying) towels and bathrobes (and/or, more generally, assorted linen).
  • Variously shaped and realised according to the many different aesthetic methods, such radiators, commonly known as “heated towel radiators", of electric or fluid circulation type, are generally composed, as is known, of horizontal tubular elements, secured to vertical uprights, on which towels and/or linen to be warmed may be placed and hung.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate at least some of the drawbacks outlined above.
  • the main object of the present invention is to indicate a radiator, for room heating, which is "conventional” in terms of shape and size, which comes within decorative radiators, but able to ensure all the uses and functions of a "heated towel radiator”.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to indicate a towel radiator of simple construction whose design allows numerous aesthetic variants to be made available.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to indicate a towel radiator of reduced size and dimensions when not in operation.
  • a towel radiator for room heating including a heating element 11, basically flat, affixed and secured in a known manner to the wall P, of the room to be heated, by means of spacers 12 or equivalent means.
  • a heating element 11 basically flat, affixed and secured in a known manner to the wall P, of the room to be heated, by means of spacers 12 or equivalent means.
  • distributor channels 13 able to be put in communication with each other, for the entry and exit of the thermal carrier fluid destined to heat the room, equipped, as per prior art, with connections for the inlet and outlet valves of the thermal carrier fluid (also of monotube type) and for the bleeder valve of the air accumulated inside them.
  • the course of the distributor channels 13 inside the heating element 11 of the radiator 1 is that according to prior art.
  • channels 13 serve, alternatively, as a seat for electrical heating elements (e.g., of cartridge and/or sheathed type) in the event in which said heating element 11 is an element of an electric radiator 1.
  • electrical heating elements e.g., of cartridge and/or sheathed type
  • the towel radiator 1 additionally includes a towel holder 2 secured, through kinematic mechanisms, to the heating element 11 and able to be moved, by movements parallel to the plane of the wall P that holds the towel radiator 1 itself, from a first non-operating configuration (or closed configuration) in which, housed in a gap 14, it is frontally hidden behind or inside the heating element 11, to an operating configuration in which, instead, it is visible and accessible for hanging towels, linen and/or other objects and garments.
  • a towel holder 2 secured, through kinematic mechanisms, to the heating element 11 and able to be moved, by movements parallel to the plane of the wall P that holds the towel radiator 1 itself, from a first non-operating configuration (or closed configuration) in which, housed in a gap 14, it is frontally hidden behind or inside the heating element 11, to an operating configuration in which, instead, it is visible and accessible for hanging towels, linen and/or other objects and garments.
  • the gap 14, may be obtained from the space created between the heating element 11 and the wall P if the first 11 is assembled on the second P by means of the spacers 12.
  • the kinematic mechanism that secures the towel holder 2 to the heating element 11 may impress on the former a translatory, roto-translatory or rotative movement.
  • the towel holder 2 is a plate of reduced thickness able to alternatively translate along at least a horizontal rectilinear guide 3 affixed against the inner face 15 of the heating element 11.
  • Figure 11 represents in detail the form of the rectilinear guide 3 and its cooperation with the carriage 4 tightly affixed to the rear face 21 of the towel holder 2. The cooperation between the guide 3 and the carriage 4 allows the securing of the towel holder 2 to the heating element 11 and allows its smooth sliding from a closed configuration (see for example fig. 3b ) to an operating configuration (see for example fig. 3a ) supporting, at the same time, its weight.
  • Said rectilinear guide 3 may consist of a section, substantially shaped as a C, having a length equal to the desired translation applied to the towel holder 2 (and basically coinciding with the transversal dimension T of the heating element 11), in whose inner seat 31 the carriage 4, shaped as a C too, is housed.
  • the rectilinear guide 3 and the carriage 4 may be part of the known "ball bearing for axial sliding" and it is not necessary to dwell on such details here.
  • said ball bearing includes, in addition to said guide 3, a cage 6, tightly secured to it and projecting towards its inner seat 31, for the housing of multiple pairs of ball bearings 5 on which slides the carriage 4 of the towel holder 2.
  • guide 3 and carriage 4 respectively envisage a first 32 and a second 41 pair of grooves, extending for their entire length, which serve as seats for such sliding ball bearings 5.
  • the guide 3 and the relative carriage 4 envisage known slide stop means cooperating with each other.
  • the towel holder 2 is thus able, by means of the cooperation between said guides 3 and relative carriages 4, to translate axially from a closed configuration (or rest), during which it is located inside the gap 14 hidden from view by the heating element 11, to an operating configuration during which it is able to perform the functions for which it was designed.
  • the towel holder 2 projects equally, according to requirements, completely or partially, from one of the two lateral sides 16, 17 of the radiator 1 thus providing the user with support elements 22 for hanging towels, bathrobes and/or linen in general.
  • said support elements 22 consist of holes and/or semi-holes of various sizes randomly drilled in the plate which constitutes the towel holder 2, while the aesthetic variant of fig. 6 has the "teeth" of a comb-shaped towel holder 2.
  • said support elements 22 may consist of handles, hooks or similar means (not shown) tightly secured to the towel holder 2.
  • FIG. 4 This construction variant is shown in detail in figure 4 , where the towel holder 2 is secured, in its upper and lower edge, by first pins 23, to a pair of arms 7 able to rotate around second pins 71 which affix them to the inner face 15 of the heating element 11.
  • the towel holder 2 is able to roto-translate (in the clockwise direction of the arrow F) inside the gap 14 to switch from the closed configuration (dotted line in fig. 4 ) to the operating configuration during which, as already widely stated, it exits from one of the lateral sides 16, 17 of the radiator 1 providing support elements 22 (in the many aesthetic variants) on which to hang linen and/or towels.
  • limit stop means on the inner face 15 of the heating element 11 may be envisaged a first stop means 25, in proximity to its lateral face 16, able to stop, during the opening phase, roto-translational movement of the towel holder 2 when it comes into contact with its base 24 and a second stop means 26, at the opposite lateral face 17, which stops the roto-translation of the towel holder 2 during the closing phase.
  • a first stop means 25 in proximity to its lateral face 16, able to stop, during the opening phase, roto-translational movement of the towel holder 2 when it comes into contact with its base 24 and a second stop means 26, at the opposite lateral face 17, which stops the roto-translation of the towel holder 2 during the closing phase.
  • the arm 2 may then switch from a closed configuration, during which it is hidden from view, in a vertical position, inside the gap 14, to an operating configuration (and vice versa) in which, projecting horizontally from one of the lateral sides of the heating element 11, it provides a support on which to hang linen and/or towels.
  • a rotation stop means 27 for the arm 2 in the closing phase on the inner face 15 of the heating element 11, in proximity to the pin 71, must be envisaged a rotation stop means 27 for the arm 2 in the closing phase.
  • the first and second arm 2 are preferably affixed to said heating element 11 symmetrically with respect to the B-B axis (see fig. 8a ), so as to rotate in opposite directions to each other; for the radiator 1 of figure 8a , it is therefore possible to envisage an operating configuration during which one of the two, or both, of the arms 2 have been rotated until a basically horizontal position and projecting from the respective lateral sides 16, 17 of the radiator 1 itself.
  • the two arms 2 lie on two different vertical planes, but parallel to each other (as clearly shown in fig. 8b ) so as to avoid interference between each other.
  • Such condition is easily achieved by equipping the two arms 2 with rotation pins 71, 72 of different lengths.
  • Handles or equivalent handholds may be envisaged on the towel holder 2 to facilitate its extraction, roto-translation or its manual rotation from the closed configuration to the operating configuration and vice versa.
  • the appearance of the heating element 11 shown in the enclosed figures is just one of many possible and achievable configurations, as well as many types and aesthetic variants of the towel holder 2 and its support elements 22.
  • the figures from 9a to 10 show a "half-shell" shaped heating element 11, a geometry which is particularly used in the field of decorative radiators for its clean lines and elegant simplicity.
  • the heating element 11 equipped with the relative towel holder 2 may be combined with a second heating element 11, preferably, but not necessarily, equivalent to the first, rather than being directly affixed to the wall P.
  • the spacers 12, as well as enabling the coupling of such heating elements 11, defining between them the gap 14 for housing the towel holder 2 in its many construction and aesthetic varieties may possibly put in communication their distributor channels 13 in the event of fluid circulation type radiators 1.
  • the gap 14 to house the towel holder 2 may be, alternatively, also the space between a first portion 11.a and second portion 11.b of the same heating element 11 suitably shaped for its creation.
  • radiator for room heating as described, achieves the preset objects, in particular that of installing a "conventional" radiator 1 (in terms of shape and size) for room heating which, if required, may also be used as a heated towel rail on which to hang and keep warm (especially during the cold season due to the heat generated by the heating elements 11 of the radiator 1 with which, as seen, the towel holder 2 is in direct contact) various items of linen, garments and/or towels.
  • the radiator 1 of the invention ensures, as seen, a wide range of aesthetic combinations, construction varieties and reduced size when not in use, thus making it particularly suitable for installation in any environment and for any application.
