Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchoring device for radiators.
  • Known devices have an elongated bracket, having a length substantially corresponding to the height of the radiator.
  • the bracket is bent at the lower end so as to form a fixed hook onto which the lower portion of the radiator is to be engaged.
  • a movable hook is slidingly associated with the upper end of the bracket and is generally mounted on an adapted support provided with position adjustment mechanisms.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an anchoring device for radiators that overcomes the drawbacks of the cited prior art.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide a device that improves the reliability and stability of the fastening.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device which is suitable for various dimensionally and/or geometrically different kinds of radiator.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device that is substantially concealed from view when mounted.
  • an anchoring device for radiators is generally designated by the reference numeral 1.
  • the device 1 includes a bracket 2, preferably made of metallic material, which has a longitudinal extension that is substantially similar to the height of a radiator to be anchored to a supporting wall.
  • the bracket 2 preferably has a C-shaped transverse cross-section and includes a base wall 2a.
  • a first wing 2b and a second wing 2c protrude transversely from the lateral ends of the base wall 2a.
  • multiple contoured holes 3 are provided in the base wall 2a and allow to stably anchor the device 1 to the supporting wall, for example by expansion plugs.
  • the lower end of the bracket 2 is contoured so as to form a fixed hook 5, in cooperation with a member 4 preferably made of plastic material.
  • the fixed hook 5 is adapted to engage the lower part of the radiator.
  • the member 4 also acts as a guiding member for a correct and easy positioning of the radiator on the fixed hook 5.
  • the upper end of the bracket 2 has two containment edges 2d, 2e that allow the bracket to slidingly accommodate a support 6 for a movable hook 7, which is designed to cooperate with the fixed hook 5 in order to retain the radiator.
  • the support 6 and the movable hook 7 are preferably made of metallic material, for example by die casting and/or other machining processes.
  • the support 6 is constituted by an elongated member which includes a plate portion 6a.
  • Two wings 6b, 6c protrude transversely from the lateral ends of the plate portion 6a.
  • the wings 6b, 6c are not indispensable and may be omitted.
  • the wings 6b, 6c are interrupted by openings 8, the usefulness of which will be explained better hereinafter.
  • a ledge 6d protrudes from one end of the support 6 and the movable hook 7 is detachably associated with the ledge 6d.
  • the position of the movable hook 7 may be adjusted for example by means of a bolt 9 inserted in corresponding contoured through holes formed in the two members.
  • a locking means 10 allows, reversibly, to prevent the support 6 from sliding in one direction with respect to the bracket 2 and to instead allow it to slide in the opposite direction.
  • the locking means 10 has a contoured body 11, which is substantially flat and preferably made of plastic material and translates integrally with the support 6.
  • a first tab protrudes laterally from the contoured body 11 and is shaped to form a locking member 12 which has a sharp edge 13.
  • the sharp edge 13 is designed to engage for example the first wing 2b of the bracket 2 and to move unidirectionally thereon.
  • a second tab protrudes laterally from the contoured body 11 and is arranged on the side that is opposite to the side where the locking member 12 is arranged.
  • the second tab defines an elastic means 15 configured to push the locking member 12 against the first wing 2b of the bracket 2, in the locking condition.
  • the elastic means 15 also can be constituted by two matching tabs that protrude from opposite sides of the contoured body 11 and are configured to act on both of the wings 2b, 2c.
  • the contoured body 11 also has a third tab which is extended axially, on the side where the locking member 12 is positioned, forming a release lever 16 which allows to overcome the thrust of the elastic means 15 and to disengage, in a release configuration, the locking member 12 from the first wing 2b of the bracket 2.
  • the shape of the release lever 16 is such as to allow a user to act on its free end in order to pass from the locking configuration to the release configuration even when the radiator is attached to the device 1.
  • transition from the locking configuration to the release configuration is determined not only by the elastic deformation of the contoured body 11 but also by a slight movement of the latter with respect to the support 6.
  • the contoured body 11 has a first pivot 17 which protrudes from its face directed toward the support 6 and enters a respective hole 18 provided in the support 6.
  • the contoured body 11 also has a second pivot 19 which protrudes from its face that is opposite the one from which the first pivot 17 protrudes and enters a respective slot 20 provided in the bracket 2.
  • the coupling between the second pivot 19 and the slot 20 allows to limit the stroke of the support 6 with respect to the bracket 2 between a minimum position and a maximum position.
  • the device 1 includes a plurality of protrusions 21 that protrude from the bracket 2 and can be selectively engaged by the locking member 12 in the locking configuration.
  • the protrusions 21 are substantially rectilinear in shape and are formed on the internal face of at least one of the two wings of the bracket 2, for example the first wing 2b.
  • the protrusions 121 may be provided both on the first wing 102b and on the second wing 102c of the bracket 102.
  • the locking member 12 should be preset preferably to act on both of the wings 102b, 102c, and likewise also the elastic means 15, as already described previously.
  • the protrusions 21 are arranged transversely to the axis of extension of the bracket 2 and are substantially equidistant and substantially mutually parallel, so as to form a knurling.
  • the protrusions 21 have, in transverse cross-section, a substantially squared profile which is obtained for example by die casting and/or other machining processes.
  • the protrusions 21 may be different in terms of shape and position; for example, they may have, in transverse cross-section, a substantially saw-toothed profile or may be configured as small hemispheres.
  • the operation of the anchoring device for radiators according to the invention is simple and intuitive.
  • the movable hook 7, the support 6 and the locking means 10 are generally provided as a single preassembled assembly, which the user simply has to insert in the bracket 2 until the second pivot 19 enters the slot 20.
  • the elastic means 15 pushes the locking member 12 to engage one of the protrusions 21 of the first wing 2b, so as to allow the support 6 to move unidirectionally on the bracket 2.
  • Mounting proceeds by fixing the bracket 2 to the wall, subsequently engaging the lower part of the radiator with the fixed hook 5 and engaging the upper part of the radiator with the movable hook 7 which is pushed toward the fixed hook 5.
  • the locking means 10 ensures that, in the locking configuration, it is not possible to extract the support 6 from the bracket 2 and consequently the radiator remains locked to the device 1.
  • the locking member 12 engages the bracket 2 in a manner that is even safer and more stable than the case in which the first wing 2b is completely smooth.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, an anchoring device for radiators having been provided which improves the reliability and the stability of the fixing that can be obtained with known systems.
  • Another advantage of the present device resides in that it is suitable for various kinds of radiator which are dimensionally and/or geometrically different.
  • the present device is substantially concealed from view when mounted.
