Definitions

  • This invention relates to combination of a heat radiator, and more specifically to a central heating radiator used in the heating of a building and a radiator cover therefor.
  • Heat radiators of various shapes, sizes and designs are well known. Heat radiators are often manufactured from tubing and may consist of one or more vertical posts with a number of horizontal cross members extending from the posts.
  • This type of radiator is made from metal and it is often difficult to attach and seal the cross members to the posts in a neat and effective manner. The task of removing excess weld material from weld lines is laborious and costly.
  • radiators should be available in light colour and preferably chromed or made from stainless steel.
  • the chroming process of a radiator is costly and the precision welding and beautification required when the radiator is made from stainless steel are laborious, time consuming and costly.
  • the invention aims to provide an alternative heat radiator arrangement which might alleviate some of the aforementioned problems.
  • the invention provides a heat radiator which includes a body which has at least one tubular post formation, a plurality of tubular cross members extending from the post formation and a plurality of flow passages which are in communication with one another and defined by the post formation and the cross members, and a rigid cover member which is releasably attachable to the body.
  • the body may include a bleeder valve through which a fluid can exit the flow passages.
  • the post formation extends vertically and the body includes two spaced apart post formations.
  • the cross members extend horizontally away from the post formation.
  • the flow passages may include an inlet which is connected to a liquid supply and an outlet.
  • the liquid supply is heated.
  • the cover member may be in the form of a screen and may be rectangular in outline.
  • the cover member may include a face surface and opposing upper and lower flanges and opposing first and second side walls, which extend from the surface.
  • the surface may be planar and may include ornamentation.
  • the ornamentation may be in the form of deformities on the surface which may be in the form of any one or combination of apertures, slots, embossment, engraving and shaped patterns.
  • the deformities may be of varied number, size and configuration.
  • the cover member is in the form of a tray which at least partially envelopes the body.
  • the heat radiator may include an attachment means to releasably attach the cover member to the body.
  • the attachment means is fixed to the cover member and includes a biased clip.
  • the attachment means includes a plurality of biased clips.
  • the invention also provides a cover member for use with a heat radiator of the aforementioned kind which includes a face surface and an attachment means fixed to the surface.
  • the cover member may be in the form of a screen and may be rectangular in outline.
  • the cover member may include opposing upper and lower flanges and opposing first and second side walls, which extend from the surface.
  • the surface may be planar and may include ornamentation.
  • the ornamentation may be in the form of deformities on the surface which may be in the form of any one or combination of apertures, slots, embossment, engraving and shaped patterns.
  • the deformities may be of varied size, shape and configuration.
  • the cover member is in the form of a tray which at least partially envelopes the body.
  • the attachment means includes a biased clip.
  • the attachment means may include a plurality of biased clips.
  • Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a heat radiator according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is an exploded, rear perspective view of the radiator of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a front side view of a cover of the radiator of Figure 1 showing various ornamentations on the cover.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 illustrate a central heat radiator 10 used for the heating of a building which has a radiator body 12 and a rigid cover 14 which is releasably attachable to the body 12.
  • the body 12 has two spaced apart and vertically extending tubular supports or posts 16, 18 and a plurality of vertically extending tubular cross members 20 which extend between the respective posts 16, 18.
  • Each of the cross members 20 are sealingly attached to the respective posts 16, 18 and a plurality of flow passages 22 which are in communication with one another are defined inside and by the posts 16, 18 and cross members 20.
  • the flow passages 22 have an inlet 24 which is in communication with a liquid supply (not shown).
  • the liquid supply is of a conventional nature and is used to supply heated liquid 25 to the body 12.
  • the flow passages 22 have an outlet 28 which is also connected to the liquid supply in order to return used liquid 25, which exits the body 12, to the liquid supply.
  • a bleeder valve 26 can be connected to the body 12 in order to bleed a fluid, such as air, from the flow passages 22.
  • the bleeder valve 26 is of a known construction and the fluid exits the flow passages 22 in a known manner.
  • the body 12 is connected to the liquid supply, is attached to fixed structure (not shown) and is used in a known manner.
  • each cross member 20 radially extends from the respective posts 16, 18.
  • the body 12 can alternatively be made in any other appropriate manner and, for example, can also consist of a single post 16 with U-shaped cross members 20 extending from the post 16.
  • the cross members 20 can extend tangentially from the respective posts 16, 18.
  • the body 12 is made from any appropriate tubular metal material and weld lines 30 are formed between each respective post 16, 18 and cross member 20.
  • the cover 14 is in the form of a rectangularly shaped screen.
  • the cover 14 has a face surface 32 and opposing upper and lower flanges 34, 36 and opposing first and second side walls 38, 40, which extend from the surface 32.
  • Each of the respective upper and lower flanges 34, 36 are attached to the first and second side walls 38, 40 in order for the cover 14 to be in the shape of a tray which can at least partially envelope the body 12.
  • first and second side walls 38, 40 are curved to fit snugly around the posts 16, 18.
  • a recess 42 which is shown in dotted outlines in Figure 2, can be cut in the upper flange 34 in order to accommodate the bleeder valve 26.
  • the cover 14 is releasably attached to the body 12 by way of attachment means 44.
  • the attachment means 44 is in the form of four, spaced apart, biased U- shaped clips 46 of known construction which are fixed to the surface 32 of the cover 14.
  • Each of the clips 46 is fixed to the cover 14 by way of welding, bonding or a fastener 48.
  • Each of the clips 46 engages with a cross member 20 in order to hold the cover 14 in place over the body 12.
  • the cover 14 partially envelopes the body 12 and at least partially covers a front section 49 of the body 12.
  • attachment means 44 is shown in this example in the form of four clips 46 and the clips 46 are fixed to the cover 14, it is important to understand that the attachment means 44 can consist of a single clip 46 and that the attachment means 44 can be fixed to the body 12 instead of the cover 14.
  • the attachment means 44 can also be of any appropriate kind which would allow the cover 14 to be releasably attached to the body 12.
  • Ornamentation 50 is formed on the planar surface 32 in order to improve the aesthetic appeal of the cover 14 and in some cases to allow air flow through the cover 14.
  • the ornamentation 50 is in the form of deformities on the surface 32.
  • deformities can be in the form of any one or combination of punched or cut apertures or holes 52, 54, 56, slots 58, 60, 62, embossment 64, engraving 66 or shaped patterns on the surface 32.
  • the holes 52, 54, 56, slots 50, 60, 62, embossment 64, engraving 66 or shaped patterns can be of any appropriate number, size, shape and configuration.
  • the cover 14 is made from any appropriate heat resistant plastics or metal material and may be of any appropriate colour.
  • the cover 14 allows the body 12 to be manufactured in a robust manner without the construction or weld lines 30 to be aesthetically pleasing which could limit manufacture time and costs.
  • the body 12 can also be of a dark colour which could improve heat radiation therefrom.
  • cover 14 is removable is important as this assists the cleaning of the body 12 and cover 14. It also allows a user to replace the cover 14 according to requirements.
