Description

Radiant Staff

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention can be included in the technical field of devices designed to condition the environment in outdoor spaces.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, the devices used to condition the environment on the terraces and make their users comfortable are gas stoves and near-infrared radiators.

Near-infrared radiators are currently used to condition the temperature in terraces. Usually these devices are fixed to the ceiling, to the wall or under umbrellas or awnings. They produce instant heat so that users quickly notice their action but have very short range so that only users who are located near them notice their effect.

Each near infrared radiator can cover a maximum area of 12 m2 and if they are placed at a height of 2 m, 1.5 kW radiators will be necessary. Movable devices that have infrared radiators are not known in the state of the art, but said radiators are generally installed on the exterior walls of the restaurants, so that they only offer heat to the users of the tables that remain attached.

or very close to said wall, or they are installed in the nerves of the umbrellas and the awnings. Thus, these radiators can only be used in restaurants and bars that have a terrace in which the tables are located near the walls, that have low ceilings or that have umbrellas or awnings on which to install them.

Gas stoves are commonly known as gas mushrooms. These types of stoves comprise a frame at the base of which a gas cylinder is placed that provides the energy necessary for its operation. The frame extends in the form of a vertical bar and at the top comprises a protuberance inside which the combustion of the gas occurs. In said protuberance small flames caused by said combustion can be seen. On the protuberance there is a metal sheet with a semicircle shape oriented towards the ground such that the heat that is released from the combustion of the gas is redirected downwards which is where the users are located. One of the most important problems of this type of outdoor heating devices coincides with the problem of near-infrared radiators and its effect is only noticed by users who are located near it.

Another important problem with these stoves is the danger associated with the use of gas cylinders. These stoves are generally placed on terraces of bars, restaurants or cafeterias where a plurality of tables are distributed to users. Due to the previously described problem that the heaters have a small radius of action, it is necessary to place several gas stoves on each terrace so that on a small surface there are many gas cylinders running at the same time and therefore the risks are multiply

Finally, it is worth highlighting the possibility that the small flames in the protrusion of the upper part come into contact with the awnings or tents that are in restaurants and bars to protect customers from the sun or rain. In this case there would be disastrous consequences of great danger to users.

Also known from the state of the art is a conditioning device for the environment of a room that allows the humidity and hygiene of said environment to be conditioned. Said device comprises a frame that supports and / or contains a first negative ion emitting body, which causes an ionization of the particles present in suspension in the environment of the room where it is placed. This results in a precipitation of these particles and a considerable increase in the feeling of well-being of the occupants of the room, since the negative ionization of the ambient air produces relaxation and stimulates the regulation of blood pressure. The problem with this device is that it is designed to be used in closed rooms such as domestic or industrial facilities, as well as in means of transport or other enclosed spaces especially prone to problems of humidity, odors and bacteria.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The radiant staff of the present invention solves the problems that heaters have been used outdoors. One of the advantages of the proposed staff is that it heats from the vertical having the support on one side, so that the surface to be conditioned is completely uniformly heated. This is especially important in cases where the staff is used to heat a terrace of a

bar or restaurant where customers are placed around the table. With state-of-the-art stoves, only diners sitting near the heater are in adequate temperature conditions, while with the radiating staff of the present invention, heat is propagated from the vertical, over all diners alike. In this way all the guests are comfortable.

Another important advantage of the radiant staff compared to traditional stoves is the great saving of power. In addition, the present radiant staff uses far-infrared technology that is healthier and beneficial for the human body.

The present invention proposes a staff specially designed to be used outdoors so it is waterproof. It is generally used to heat outdoor terraces and events but it can also be used indoors in very spacious rooms whose heating by other means would be complicated. The placement and transportation of the staff of the invention are very simple.

The radiating rod essentially comprises a vertical element from which a cantilever element is placed in which the far infrared plate is arranged. Likewise, the staff comprises a counterweight to prevent its tilting, said counterweight being divided into an upper sector, materialized by an arm that allows to counteract the effect of the cantilever element, a lower sector composed of a weight that prevents the staff from tipping over and a intermediate sector in which there is an element of union of the upper sector and the lower sector so that by joining both sectors it dissipates the tensions they support.

The intermediate sector can be embodied in an advertising medium, such as a panel connected by cables to the upper and lower sectors, and which allows the user to have an advertising effect with the radiant staff of the invention. In this way, the radiant staff has a very advantageous heating effect with respect to the stoves and radiators known in the state of the art and also has an advertising effect that none of the devices of the prior art has.

The radiating rod of the invention offers lower consumption than the devices currently used for outdoor heating such as near infrared radiators and gas stoves. It also offers a greater coverage area so that all guests of a table on a terrace have a feeling of comfort and not only those who sit near the device.

In addition, the radiant staff of the invention has a far infrared ray plate, so that the staff has the advantages associated with them. The most important advantages are that far infrared rays improve people's immune system by giving protection against harmful viruses and bacteria. In addition, the defense system of the human body is improved. Thus, the present radiant staff has advantages for users that go beyond providing heat, also allowing to improve the physical conditions of said users.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a view of the radiant staff of the present invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, a preferred embodiment of the invention is described with the aid of Figure 1 above.

The radiant staff that is presented comprises a structure with a vertical element (1) from which a cantilever element (2) starts, in which it has a far-infrared plate (3). The vertical element (1) is a bar, which in a preferred embodiment is metallic and extends perpendicular to the ground.

The cantilever element (2) starts from the upper end of the vertical element, in a direction parallel to the ground. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the far infrared plate (3) has a rectangular flat configuration and comprises joining means by which its position is fixed to the cantilever element (2). The longitudinal direction of the far infrared plate (3) coincides with the longitudinal direction of the cantilever element (2) thus guaranteeing a greater area of contact between both elements that ensures its union. From the vertical element (1) there is also a counterweight (4) that prevents the overturning of the staff. In a preferred embodiment said

Counterweight (4) starts from the vertical element (1) in the opposite direction to the cantilever element (2). In figure 1 a radiant staff like the one of the invention is seen.

The counterweight (4) is in turn divided into three sectors. An upper sector (5) which has an arm extending from the upper end of the vertical element (1) in the opposite direction to the cantilever element (2). This upper sector arm (5) is parallel to the ground and makes it possible to counteract the effect of the cantilever element (2) to balance the staff. The counterweight (4) also comprises an intermediate sector (6), which is a connecting element between the upper sector (5) and a lower sector (7).

In a preferred embodiment, this connecting element is a panel in which the user can display aesthetic details, advertising, etc. In this specific embodiment, the panel is connected by cables to the upper sector arm (5) and the lower sector (7). Thus, in this preferred embodiment, said intermediate sector (6) is an advertising medium. The radiant staff of the present invention has both a heating effect and an advertising effect. This is an important advantage over gas stoves and near-infrared radiators known in the state of the art since they do not have the advertising effect that is essential for many users.

In the part that is in contact with the ground is the lower sector (7) of the counterweight (4) which is a weight, that is, a heavy object that serves to balance the load produced by the far infrared plate (3) that It is arranged in the cantilever element (2). In this particular case, the lower sector (7) is a weight intended to ensure the position of the staff and prevent its overturning. In a preferred embodiment of the invention this lower sector (7) has a flat triangle-shaped configuration.

In addition to the counterweight (4), the radiating staff of the invention may comprise additional support means (8), which materialize in flat extensions starting from the lower end of the vertical element (1) and remaining in contact with the ground .

In a preferred embodiment of the invention the height of the vertical element (1) is 2 m. The power supply of the far-infrared plate (3) is 230 V and the electrical power is 1,120 W. The surface on which the far-infrared plate acts is 18 m2. Thus, the surface that the radiant staff is capable of heating is larger than the surface covered by state-of-the-art stoves and this is also achieved with a lower consumption compared to said stoves.
