Description

Removable cover element with Induced heating for towel warmers.

The present invention has as its object a removable cover element with induced heating to crankcase guide for towel warmers.

Innovation finds an exclusive application in the sector of the production of components and accessories for towel rails, conventionally defined tubular radiators.

Field of application of the invention

Traditional indoor radiators, normally, they are metal structures fixed to the wall, the which, have the function of radiating and spreading more or less evenly the heat in the rooms. These structures, formerly, they consisted of a series of hollow elements, vertically oriented, intercom in the vicinity of two limbs Inside the radiator, when the circuit it is activated by the heating system, fluid circulates hot, usually water, so that each radiator is equipped of an inlet and outlet of circulating water, intercepted in correspondence with the input of at least one valve flow regulation.

The structures of the radiators, with the time, have undergone significant changes that have involved the material, the internal and especially external conformation of the radiator, adapting to the demands of taste. In this sense, since the classic conformation of vertical elements evolved until the flat radiant panel and in recent years has returned to the vertical, tubular elements of round sections or also rectangular.

Some such as in CH436191 (Charton) proposed radiators, consisting of radiant elements horizontal, tubular and flat, essentially of sections rectangular, longitudinally approximated to each other and joined with the two extremities to two vertical elements, of the which one understood the entrance and the other the exit of the flow circulating.

CH 568539 (Schalch), consists essentially of the slight separation of the horizontal radiating elements, equidistant, so that they appear interspersed with each other by intermediate spaces

It is well known that the fates of such radiators, in homes, are among the most varied, among the which, for a particular requirement to combine aesthetics and functionality, the bathroom.

Among the functional needs, in addition to the ambient heating function, there is the advantage of heat the towels by direct contact, thus being able to Enjoy the pleasant sensation derived from the heat. Already in W092 / 03961 (Park), a kind of hook was described for towels, consisting of two stirrups fixed to the wall, for connect the inlet and outlet of the circulating water of the heating installation, joined by two tubular elements horizontal and parallel. In this case, as described in DE3903515 (Schlipphak) the main objective of such elements tubular, where hot water circulates is to allow support in towel hanger, so that they are constantly hot, removing moisture even after drying hands. In these examples it is evident that the low number of elements as well as the conformation, they did not consent to the objective use for the support of more than one towel. In addition these structures do not they were able to increase the heating of the room, because were accessories to include in a bathroom in addition to the necessary radiator.

In IT60622 there are element structures Tubular radiators of round sections for heating the room and the towels. In more detail, in the proposal mentioned structures of two collectors are illustrated rectilinear and parallel verticals, each of which in all the outer surface supports the limbs of elements round horizontal radiators distanced from each other. The horizontal radiating elements are distributed vertically by groups, each consisting of numerically variable sets of horizontal elements. In this way, they are available locally, for each group, radiant surfaces with areas different. This allows the introduction of the towel in the radiator so that it rests on the relative group constituted by the horizontal radiating elements.

State of the art closest to the invention

The solutions so far indicated are limited for two reasons: they do not optimally heat the room and do not heat or sustain optimally the towels

In this sense, solutions have been created that provide for outstanding structures from the radiant surface principal. An analogous situation is described for example in EP0791677 (Bordignon), which suggests a horizontal accessory, shaped horizontal bar to join the top of a radiator by two spacers. On said bar, it will be arranged a relative towel. A similar situation is seen in FR2669353 (Monaye) who proposes a similar solution, where the radiator is tilted forward, leaving the top attached to the wall by an extensible clothesline. In this original way, hanging on the clothesline, not only towels, but also also clothes.

EP0475261 (Dietrich) proposes a radiator vertical with a frame crossed by radiant elements oriented diagonally divided into groups and interspersed by free zones. In the upper part of the radiator there are two tubular elements transverse one over the other through which the fluid from heating. Said transverse elements, are distanced the from each other and cross the radiator horizontally from a part to the other to join the perimeter element that serves as framework. This way you can place other towels on each transverse radiating element taking advantage of the heating derived from the circulation of the flow that circulates in each of the brackets

Equally known are the coatings or rather, the functional coatings for radiators. By an example in EP0533554 (Prevot) describes an equipment for domestic heating consisting of a series of pipes crossed by radiating parts that are an integral part of the lining, like a crankcase that is previously supported and hooked on the back of the tube complex.

US5537506 (Fennesz) describes a radiator of wall with removable radiant coating. A flat device for temperature regulation, provided with at least one regulation element (heating or cooling), of a support device and a flat coating. The device of support is modular and is fixed to the wall by the element of support, both supporting the element for regulation (heating or cooling) and the coating establishing a thermal conduction between the two bodies.

EP0483990 (Howland et al .) Provides a hot water wall radiator provided with a coating with such a dimension that it can accommodate said radiator. The coating can move from the closed state, which covers the front, back and top of the radiator, to the open state that allows access to the radiator from the top. A locking device is provided in the closed position.

Drawbacks

The solutions presented, related to Existing removable coating are not used in the towel radiators. In addition there is a heat dispersion which could be recovered and used progressively even when in The towel warmer elements no longer circulate hot water.

Existing removable coatings for Traditional radiators are complex, difficult to realize, application and also not suitable for use in towel warmer

Regarding the towel towel function, the traditional structures, given the fact that towels are heated mainly by direct contact, it is not used so optimal convective natural movement that surrounds frontally The radiant surface.

The need for companies is born from here particular sector, to seek alternative solutions more effective with respect to existing solutions until moment.

The objective of the present invention is to obviate The inconveniences described.

Brief Description of the Invention

This and other objectives are achieved with the present invention according to the characteristics of the attached claims resolving the problems set forth by a covering element, composed of a sheet of metallic material, or other materials with intentions functional or decorative, removable type with heating towel warmer, consisting of a crankcase that can be fixed to the same towel rack, such crankcase having a sectional profile transverse that extends from the back of the towel towel, which is open and starting from the collectors to the front surface of the towel dryer.

goals

In this way, through the remarkable creative contribution whose effect has allowed to reach a considerable technical progress, some objectives have been achieved and advantages.

The first objective has been to obtain an element Towel coating, which allows to increase the global performance of the towel warmer itself due to its proximity to radiant tubular elements, progressively releasing heat accumulated even when inside the tubular elements later no longer circulate the hot flow.

The second objective has been to optimize the function of the towel warmer allowing the placement of towels in wider heating surfaces to take advantage of the convective natural movement that circulates upwards in the front and rear of the towel dryer.

The third objective has been the availability of versatile coatings in countless possibilities of compositions, easy to make and easy and fast installation.

In conclusion, an element of towel warmer coating with greater comfort and efficiency of employment with a good technological content.

Practical realization of the invention

The covering element 1 illustrated respectively from figure 1 to figure 15, it is composed substantially of a sheet of metallic material or of other materials, whether functional or decorative, fit, for example, of a painted or varnished sheet, equipped with hooks for towel towel 2, which is at least as long and wide as the towel radiator 2. The covering element 1, by way of a casing liner, provides a flat panel 3, which in correspondence with both vertical sides 4 creates a profile in "C" shape of continuous and rectilinear type. Each flank 4, It has a "C" shape at least partially around the corresponding collector 20, and remains in a separate position from the same. In the solution of the coating element 1, also panel 3 remains slightly distanced from the surface underlying radiant towel radiator 21 recovering a space (s) roughly large between towel surface 2 and the part internal panel 3 of the covering element 1.

In the solution of the coating element 1 side 40 of flank 4 with a "C" shaped profile is arranged parallel to the front panel 3 and is of the type provided of eyelets 5 rectilinear and extending on the horizontal axis, in this case open at the tip 50 turned towards the inside of the towel warmer These eyelets 5 coincide with the collectors 6 fixed to each orthogonal manifold 20 with respect thereto, and allow the anchoring of the covering element 1, through a screw or a nut

In addition, in the solution of the element of cover 1 of figure 1, behind the front of the panel 3 is transversely positioned a shackle 16 of plastic material, in this case methacrylate, which is separated from the  panel surface 3 so as to allow the introduction of a hanging towel. Shackle 16 has a longitudinal profile that reproduces the conformation of the covering element the, comprising a horizontally projected part 160 with respect to to the covering element 1a with the two opposite extremities in the form of "C" 161 such that it is included inside and is attached to flank 4 with the "C" shaped profile of the covering element 1. Also in this case the shackle 6 is  provided with eyelets 162 through which they pass collectors that anchor the towel wrapping element 2 placed below. Always in the figure there is a band 7 of vertically oriented methacrylate, attached to panel 3 from the front part of the covering element 1. The aesthetic band 7 is stably anchored to the underlying surface by screws or equivalent, and particularly to the front panel 3 of the covering element 7, in a low area of the front equipped with convenient anchoring holes, placed vertically to along the side of the side of panel 3 of the element of coating 1.

In figure 5 it is represented as a variant, a covering element 1. In particular, unlike the solution already exposed, in correspondence with the front panel 3, is has made a polygonal opening 8 in the center (in this case square), which passes through the same panel 3. Regarding the "C" shaped flanks 4 directed around the collectors 20, these present the side 41 that joins the panel 3 and the anchoring side 40 of the covering element 1, with the towel towel 2, placed obliquely, that is, off-axis orthogonal with respect to the orthogonal axis of the front panel 3, in more or less 45 °.

The covering element 1 represented in Figure 8 is another variant. The front panel 3, in this case, it has both sides made in the form of box 9 collected vertically on both limbs and projected longitudinally. Said sides 9 have the inner side 90 orthogonal to the front panel 3 and form an anchor surface for at least one shackle placed transversely and separated from the front panel surface 3. Shackle 10 has a profile longitudinal comprising a parallel projected part 101 with with respect to the front panel 3 of the covering element 1c and with the limbs 100 of each shackle 10 leaning on correspondence with the anchor side 90 of each shoulder 9 and fixed through screws or equivalent.

The covering element 1 allows another possible variant and is represented in figure 11. The element of cover 1 always presents a panel 3, while the flanks 4 are similar to the solution of the coating element 1 of figure 5. In this case the front face of panel 3 is It presents substantially flat and provides an opening 11 of form oval at the top, through which the minus a tubular element 210, transverse of the surface towel radiator 21 2. Regarding the anchoring of the covering element 1, it is observed that this is obtained at length of upper edge 13 orthogonally folded from the element of coating 1, using the eyelets 12 made in the extremities of stirrup 120 that are bent inwardly of the element of coating 1 projected vertically downwards and in parallel with respect to it. The lower extremity of the covering element 1 has a second folded edge 14 orthogonally with respect to panel 3 from which on the side internal the spacers 15 fixed to the sheet of the covering element 1. Corresponding to the tip bottom of the towel collector 21 the couplers 22 which are used in correspondence with the spacers 15 by means of relative nuts.
