Abstract
A hotplate surface 1 has a heater 2 and a backing plate 3 fastened to it by the action of a heater clamp 4 the heater clamp is made up of a bracket with bars 5 attached to it. A fixture 6 which is attached to the hotplate has cutouts in it, The heater clamp is located in the cutouts. A fixing stud 7 attached to the heater clamp slots through the hole of a securing plate 8 that is attached to the hotplate. The stud is drawn forward by the action of a locknut 9 acting on the securing plate. The heater is clamped to the hotplate by the wedging action of the bars of the heater clamp on the cutouts in the fixture.
Description
CLAMP
CLAMPS ARE USED TO FASTEN ITEMS TOGETHER AND THERE ARE MANY
APPLICATIONS FOR THERE USE. THE CLAMP PRESENTLY PROPOSED MAY HAVE VARIOUS USES, ONE OF WHICH IS THE CLAMPING OF HEATERS TO SURFACES IN ORDER TO HEAT THEM. EXAMPLES OF WHICH ARE COOKERS HOTPLATES AND OTHER TYPES OF EQUIPMENT. VARIOUS METHODS EXIST
FOR CLAMPING HEATERS TO THESE SURFACES TO PROVIDE GOOD
CONTACT FOR HEAT TRANSFER.
HOWEVER, THE USUAL METHODS ARE BY WELDING OR ATTACHING
STUDS TO THE BACK OF THE HOTPLATE TO WHICH A BACKING PLATE IS
CLAMPED USING NUTS AND SAND WICHING THE HEATER BETWEEN THE
HOTPLATE AND THE BACKING PLATE. IF THE HEATERS NEED TO BE
RENEWED THEN THE BACKING PLATE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED WHICH
USUALLY INVOLVES THE REMOVAL OF THE HOTPLATE FROM WHICHEVER
PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IT IS FITTED TO AND UNFASTENING ALL THE STUD
SCREWS IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HEATER.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRESENT INVENTION THERE IS PROVIDED A
CLAMP SUITABLE FOR A HEATER COMPRISING (I) A BRACKET WITH AT LEAST ONE FIRST ELEMENT PROTRUDING THEREFORE; AND (II) A CO-OPERATING ELEMENT HAVING AT LEAST ONE REBATE, WHEREIN ONE
OF SAID BRACKET AND SAID CO-OPERATING ELEMENT IS MOUNTABLE
TO A HOTPLATE, WHEREIN SAID BRACKET IS ATTACHABLE TO SAID
CO-OPERATING ELEMENT BY MEANS OF LOCATION OF AT LEAST ONE
SAID FIRST ELEMENT IN AT LEAST ONE SAID REBATE.
THE PRESENT INVENTION WILL NOW BE DESCRIBED BY EXAMPLE ONLY,
WITH REFERENCE TO THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS IN WHICH -
FIGURE 1.
SHOWS AN EXAMPLE OF THE CLAMPING MECHANISM WHEN ASSEMBLED, SHOWN IN SIDE VIEW.
FIGURE 2
SHOWS THE EXPLODED VIEW OF THE CLAMPING MECHANISM
IN FIGURE 1.
A HOTPLATE SURFACE I HAS A HEATER 2 AND A BACKING PLATE 3 FASTENED TO IT BY THE ACTION OF A HEATER CLAMP 4. THE HEATER CLAMP IS MADE UP OF A METAL BRACKET WITH METAL BARS 5 (FIRST ELEMENT IN THIS EXAMPLE) ATTACHED TO IT AND A METAL FIXTURE 6 ( CO-OPERATING ELEMENT IN THIS EXAMPLE) WHICH iS ATTACHED TO THE HOTPLATE. THE FIXTURE COMPONENT HAS CUTOUTS OR REBATES IN IT.
THE BARS OF THE BRACKET ARE LOCATED IN THE CUTOUTS. A FIXING STUD 7 ATTACHED TO THE HEATER CLAMP SLOTS THROUGH THE HOLE OF A SECURING PLATE 8,THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE HOTPLATE. THE STUD IS DRAWN FORWARD BY THE ACTION OF A LOCKNUT 9 ACTING ON THE SECURING PLATE. THE HEATER IS CLAMPED TO THE HOTPLATE BY THE
WEDGING ACTION OF THE BARS OF THE OF THE BRACKET ON THE
CUTOUTS OF IN THE FIXTURE WHICH PRODUCES A PREDOMINANTLY
PERPENDICULAR FORCE TO THAT OF THE FORCE GENERATED BY THE
STUD AND LOCKNT WHEN TIGHTENED..
IN FIGURE 3
THE SAME CONFIGURATION IS SHOWN BUT WITH A FABRICATED ANGLE
PLATE tO FITTED TO THE HEATER CLAMP BRACKET,THAT PROVIDES THE SAME WEDGING ACTION TO CLAMP THE HEATER.
THE CLAMP ALSO CLAMPS WITH EQUAL PRESSURE AT EACH POINT
WHERE THE BARS ATTACHED TO THE BRACKET INTERFACE WITH THE
CUTOUTS IN THE FIXTURE, TO ACHIEVE AN ALMOST SIMIJLTANIOUS CLAMPING FORCE AT THESE POINTS. THE EXAMPLE SHOWS THE CLAMP
WITH BARS FITTED TO THE BRACKET AND CUTOUTS IN THE FIXTURE BUT 3.
THE CUTOUTS COULD BE REBATED SLOTS THAT DO NOT EXTEND FULLY
THROUGH THE FIXTURE. INSTEAD OF SLOTS IN THE FIXTURE, THE
FIXTURE COULD HAVE PROTUSIONS THAT PROVIDE THE SAME EFFECT AS
HAVING SLOTS.
THE CLAMPING ACTION CAN BE ACHIEVED BY HAVING THE BARS ANGLED
RATHER THAN THE SLOTS.
THE CLAMP IS SHOWN IN THIS EXAMPLE WITH TIGHTENING STUDS AND
NUTS THAT PROVIDE THE LATERAL FORCE THAT WEDGES THE BRACKET
TO THE FIXTURE, HOWEVER THIS ONLY AN EXAMPLE AND SOME OTHER METHOD CAN BE PROVIDED SUCH AS A SPRING TYPE LEVER DEVICE.
IN THE DESCRIBED EXAMPLE THE BRACKET IS THE LOOSE OR MOVABLE
PART OF THE CLAMP AND THE FIXTURE IS THE FIXED PART. HOWEVER THE REVERSE CAN BE THE CASE.
THE BRACKET IS SHOWN IN THIS EXAMPLE WITH BARS THAT MOVE IN THE
CUTOUTS OR REBATES OF THE FIXTURE, HOWEVER FOR EXAMPLE, THE
BRACKET COULD BE FITTED WITH THE CUTOUTS AND THE FIXTURE
COULD BE FITTED WITH THE BARS. THE CUTOUTS OR REBATES IN THE
FIXTURE HAVE A HORIZONTAL COMPONENT AS WELL AS A VERTICAL
COMPONENT, THEY ALSO HAVE AN ANGLED SHAPED COMPONENT.
THE BARS THAT LOCATE iN THE CUTOUTS; PROTRUDE FROM THE BRACKET BY AN INDETERMNED DISTANCE FROM THE BRACKET.
THE BARS ARE SHOWN AS ROUND IN THiS EXAMPLE BUT CAN HAVE A PLURALITY OF SHAPES. 4.
