Apart from the radiation member, the device according to this patent also consists of members for controlled vertical and horizontal moving of the carrier along the facade, which makes it possible to reach a reasonably plane rectangular surface.
TECHNICAL PROBLEM:
Although the known device according to what is described above operates satisfactorily, it is heavy and bulky having a weight in the neighbourhood of 4 kilo, and it is awkward to transport. The construction is relatively complicated and it is therefore costly to manufacture. It can not be minimized or enlarged by removal of components and the utilization is consequently limited to such surfaces which, on the one hand, are suitable for the device and, on the other hand, can be reached by the device.
During heating of surfaces with old paint and similar coatings, an evil-smelling and poisonous smoke is produced which consists of decomposition products of the paint or the other coating and partly of the substrate. Due to the fact that this smoke is warm, it rises and diffuses in the environment, by means of which the smoke constitutes a big environmental problem.
SOLUTION:
As a result of this, there has for a long time been a need for developing such a1 device which, on the one hand, has a low weight, permits mounting on a light and variable suspension device and is adjustable as regards its size and, on the other hand, can be manufactured in an easy and reliable manner and is harmless to the environment. Therefore, according to the invention, a device has been developed for providing heat radiation of a surface, preferably for softening and removing old paint, wherein the heat radiation is intended to be obtained by means of electric resistance wires arranged in a box which opens towards the surface which is intended for treatment, which device is characterized in that the box consists of a main component which is formed by extrusion pressing and which comprises longitudinally extending tracks for mounting of other components forming part of the device, and a lid in each end portion and a longitudinally extending partition wall behind the electric resistance wires.
According to the invention, one of the lids is provided with an exhaust opening which communicates with the space behind the partition wall and the other lid is formed with a suction opening located at the open end portion of the box which communicates with the space behind the partition wall.
According to the invention, it is suitable that the partition wall supports the electric parts.
According to the invention, it is suitable that the partition wall is inserted into longitudinal tracks in the interior wall of the main component.
According to the invention, in order to reinforce the heat radiation and the direction of the radiation, it is suitable that a wave-like reflector is provided in tracks in the interior wall of the main component behind the resistance wires, but in front of the partition wall.
According to the invention, in order to maintain a suitable distance between the device and the surface which is to be treated, and in order to absorb generated smoke more effectively, it is suitable to provide adjustable distance holders towards the surface which is intended for the heat treatment, said distance holders being in the form of displaceable walls and being provided on each side of the opening of the box towards the surface.
Furthermore, according to the invention, it is advantageous to provide tracks on the outside of the backside of the box for insertion and mounting of a handle unit.
According to the invention, in order to adjust the size of the device which is intended to radiate a surface, it is suitable that two or more boxes are coupled together beside each other.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS: The invention will be further described in the following with reference to the annexed drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a side view of a device according to the present invention,
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the device according to Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is horizontal section of the device according to the invention, and
Fig. 4 is a top view of a mounting of three of the devices according to the present invention on a common carrier. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT:
Fig. 1 shows a side view of a device according to the present invention having a main component 1 which is formed by extrusion pressing and preferably made of aluminium. At its upper end portion, the device is provided with a lid 2 having a suction opening 3 for smoke, and a lower lid 4 which is provided with a tube dowel 5 for connection to a suction device. When the device is utilized, heat radiates from the device to the left in the drawing, as is indicated by the arrows. On each side of the main component 1 towards the surface which is to be treated, two distance holders 6 are provided, one of which, the left in the direction of the radiation, is shown in the drawing. These distance holders 6 are made in the form of wall pieces or plates which are in close contact with the surface being treated and, therefore, they enclose the working surface at the sides. The distance holders 6 are provided with slots 7, so that they can be screwed on by means of these and be moved forwards or backwards. As is apparent, the device according to this drawing is provided with a handle unit 8 which has been inserted into tracks on the backside of the main component. The handle unit 8 is fixed to a supporting arm 9.
Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the device having mounted lids 2 and 4 and a handle 8. Longitudinal tracks 10 are provided on several locations on the inside and the outside of the main component 1. These tracks are constructed in connection with the extrusion pressing and constitute insertion and mounting brackets for various components .
In two of these tracks, one on each side of the main component 1, a partition wall 11 has been inserted. This partition wall 11 supports holders 12 for the electric resistance wires 13. For the sake of clarity, the rest of the electric wires and their suspension has been excluded. The electric resistance wires can, however, be replaced by other electric heating devices, such as microwave devices.
Behind the resistance wires 13 but in front of the partition wall 11, a blank reflector 14 is provided. The reflector 14 is also inserted into a track on the inside of the main component 1.
The lid 2 in the right side of the drawing is intended to form the upper side of the device and fumes are sucked in through the opening 3 in this lid and flow downwards behind the partition wall 11 and out through the lid 4 having a mounted exhaust tube 5. Thus , this exhaust tube 5 is connected to some kind of fan which blows the fumes into some kind of purification plant. In the drawing, the course of the fumes is shown with unfilled arrows. The direction of the heat radiation from the device is shown with filled arrows.
Fig. 3 shows a horizontal section through the device according to the invention, from which drawing the location of the partition wall 11 and the reflector 14 is apparent. Due to the fact that two wire elements 13 are provided, the reflector 14 has obtained a wave-form which guarantees a concentrated radiation of the surface.
As is apparent from the drawing, a plate 15 for electric devices is provided on the partition wall 11 and on the backside of this.
As is apparent, the handle unit 8 is inserted downwards in tracks on the outside of the main component 1, and two distance holders 6 are fastened with screws on each side of the opening of the main component 1 towards the side surface being treated.
Fig. 4 shows three devices according to the invention being coupled together to form one single unit. The two outermost devices are provided with handle units 8 and are attached to a bar 16 which in turn is mounted on a manoeuvrable arm. The devices according to the invention are shown from above and are thus only shown through the upper lids 2. Due to the fact that the devices widen out towards the opening, two intermediate pieces 17 have been used in order to attach the various parts to each other. Of course, only one radiation device can also be used.
Thus, by means of the present invention, a very simple and quickly assembled device for radiation has been provided, wherein it has been possible to construct said device so that it is very light, it is mounted on an easily manoeuvred member, and so that it can be connected to a suction device which makes the device harmless to the environment. The surface which has been radiated by means of the device according to the invention, which radiation can take place within a period of a few minutes, is subsequently scraped off and cleaned in a very simple manner.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment which is described above, but may be varied within the scope of the appended claims.
