Definitions

  • This invention relates to the area of home heating.
  • this invention relates to a heating apparatus comprising a radiating element made out of a fragile material.
  • a heating apparatus comprises a frame including a rear face secured to a vertical wall; a radiating element made in fragile material such as glass, forming the front of the apparatus, one rear face of which is joined to the frame by means of one or more securing means; and a support with a means to heat the radiating element placed against the rear face of the radiating element.
  • the element is liable to break if subjected to an impact and shatter into a number of small pieces.
  • the broken pieces of the radiating element thus spread over the floor and lead to a risk of injury to the user.
  • This invention is aimed at remedying the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • this invention relates to a heating apparatus comprising a frame, one rear face of which is suitable for being secured to a vertical wall; a radiating element made out of a fragile material forming the front of the apparatus, wherein the frame comprises at least one securing means that is used to join a rear face of the radiating element to said frame; a support integral with the frame, equipped on a first face with means for heating the radiating element, the second face of which is glued against the rear face of the radiating element.
  • Such an apparatus offers the benefit, if the radiating element breaks, of holding the broken pieces of the radiating element in place on the support that is joined to it by gluing, and of holding the support, with the broken pieces of the radiating element glued to it, on the heating apparatus.
  • the risks for the user are reduced and the faulty apparatus can be removed more easily, and above all more safely.
  • the frame is integral with the second face of the support.
  • the support comprises a first zone that receives the heating means and a second zone covering the frame.
  • Such a support offers the benefit of only heating the radiating element and not the frame, thus preventing the frame from overheating. Such a support also offers the benefit of preventing possible electrical insulation problems.
  • the support comprises a first element suitable for forming the first zone, integral with a second element suitable for forming the second zone, wherein the first and second elements are distinct.
  • the frame is integral with the first face of the support.
  • the support comprises a first zone that receives the heating means and a second zone covered by the frame and integral with the rear face of the radiating element.

  • the first branch ( 110 , 111 ) of the securing means ( 107 , 108 ) is glued to the rear face ( 109 ) of the radiating element ( 105 ), and the second branch ( 112 , 113 ) is joined to the frame ( 101 ) by means of bolting.
  • the first branch ( 110 , 111 ) is also made integral with the rear face ( 109 ) of the radiating element ( 105 ) by means of elastic fitting means, welds or screws
  • the second branch ( 112 , 113 ) is made integral with the frame ( 101 ) by elastic fitting means, welds or glue.
  • FIG. 2 shows a rear view of the heating apparatus ( 100 ) from which the frame ( 101 ) has been removed, according to the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the heating apparatus ( 100 ) comprises a support ( 118 ) with a first face ( 119 ) bearing a heating means ( 120 ) of the radiating element ( 105 ).
  • the support ( 118 ) occupies a surface that is slightly smaller than the rear face ( 109 ) of the radiating element ( 105 ).
  • the rear face ( 109 ) of the radiating element ( 105 ) and the support ( 118 ) have substantially complementary shapes.
  • the heating means ( 120 ) is placed on the support ( 118 ) so as to heat the radiating element ( 105 ) substantially evenly.
  • the support ( 118 ) is for example a plastic film, and the heating means ( 120 ) is for example an aluminum track.
  • the heating means ( 120 ) is covered by a second plastic film.
  • a second face ( 121 ) of the support ( 118 ), opposite the first side ( 119 ), is glued to the rear face ( 109 ) of the radiating element ( 105 ).
  • the gluing of the second face ( 121 ) of the support ( 118 ) against the radiating element ( 105 ) holds the pieces of the radiating element ( 105 ) together in place on the support ( 118 ).
  • the support ( 118 ) is integral with the frame ( 101 ). In that way, when the radiating element ( 105 ) breaks, the support ( 118 ) and thus the pieces of the radiating element ( 105 ) glued to the second face ( 121 ) of said support are held on the heating apparatus ( 100 ).
  • the support ( 118 ) is made integral with the frame ( 101 ) by gluing.
  • the frame ( 101 ) is integral with the second face ( 121 ) of the support ( 118 ).

  • the support ( 118 ) covers the first branch ( 110 , 111 ) of the securing means ( 107 , 108 ).
  • said support ( 118 ) covers the first branch ( 110 , 111 ) fully or in part.
  • the support ( 118 ) comprises a first zone ( 122 ) receiving the heating means ( 120 ), and a second zone ( 123 ) covering the frame ( 101 ).
  • the heating means ( 120 ) only heats the radiating element ( 105 ) by conduction and not the frame ( 101 ), thus preventing the overheating of the frame ( 101 ).
  • Such a solution also prevents possible electrical insulation problems.
  • the first zone ( 122 ) is substantially central, and the second zone ( 123 ) is substantially on the edge of the support ( 118 ).

  • the heating means ( 120 ) only heats the radiating element ( 105 ) by conduction and not the radiating element ( 105 ) and the frame ( 101 ), thus preventing the overheating of the frame ( 101 ).
  • Such a solution also prevents possible electrical insulation problems.
  • the securing means ( 107 , 108 ) each form a bridge ( 128 ) under which the first zone ( 126 ) of the support ( 118 ) extends.
