Description

The invention relates to a radiator with a holding section, in particular one Bathroom radiator, or a holding section for radiators, in particular Bathroom and / or wardrobe radiator, according to the preamble of the claim 1 or according to the preamble of claim 11.

Various radiators are known in the prior art, which are structured such that Towels can be placed over sections of the radiator so the towels can be warmed or dried. Such radiators are sometimes also used in vestibules or cloakrooms, kitchens or the like. At Many of these radiators use tubes for their manufacture. In such Radiators often become two vertical manifolds and extending in between Heating tubes used. The heating tubes are arranged in groups, to leave space in between, to throw towels or the like here to be able to.

There are often space problems, so it would be desirable to have a radiator or a holding section for towels, clothing or the like for To have radiators in which the laying on or insertion of such textiles is easier.

In addition, it is often the case that clothing is attached using a coat hanger Radiators are hung, which causes their paintwork to suffer. That's why it would be desirable, less sensitive or replaceable sections on a corresponding To have radiators.

It is the object of the present invention, a radiator or a holding section to make available the deficiencies of the status of the Clear technology as much as possible. In particular, a radiator with a improved storage space will be made available.

This task is carried out by means of a radiator or by means of a holding section solved according to claim 1 or according to claim 11.

Advantageous embodiments of the objects according to the invention are shown in FIGS Sub-claims emerge.

The advantages to be achieved according to the present invention are based on the fact that a Radiator with a movable in relation to the radiator or its heating section Holding section, in particular for fabric sections, such as clothing, Towels or the like is provided, which over at least one movement section is movable.

This makes it possible in the event that a towel, a bath towel or the like is to be put down, the holding section from the radiator or its heating section to move out, then the bath towel on the protruding To place the holding section. If the holding section is no longer required, it can be moved back to its original position on the radiator so that it is back into the overall picture of the radiator. It can also do this be avoided that, for example, in the dark in the bathroom or in the Anteroom of a house a person at a globally protruding stop section can hurt. The holding section can be in its shape and in its Coloring be adapted to the design of the radiator or but be highlighted in design.

According to the invention, a panel radiator can of course also be formed be, for example, at the top of a front or the front Heating plate, a corresponding holding section in a different color or color adapted is provided. Similarly, a corresponding holding section between two superimposed flat sections of a radiator be provided.

A corresponding holding section can be particularly good in the optical appearance a radiator with horizontally aligned heating tubes and vertically aligned Fit the collecting tubes.

It is particularly advantageous if the movement section prefers at least one comprises two swivel arms, via which the holding section from the plane of the heating section can be moved out and sunk into it. The use of two swivel arms ensure sufficient stability and load capacity of the holding section. The swivel arms can be in swivel joints, such as hinges or the like, be attached to the radiator and to the holding section. It is also conceivable also use swivel arms with three joints, one joint on Radiator and a hinge is attached to the holding section, while a third hinge divided the swivel arm into two rigid sections.

The swivel arms advantageously enable horizontal swiveling around essentially about 90 ° to the plane spanned by the manifolds. Here it is also possible to use a swivel arm either on the radiator or on the holding section to be attached via a control cam so that when swiveling or Swing back a connecting section, for example in the form of a bolt or the like, is moved in the cam such that the holding portion substantially is pivoted out parallel and preferably in its pivoted end position or preferably congruent to its sunk in any pivoting situation End position is arranged.

A radiator is a particularly simple and easy to manufacture variant or a holding section with a pivot hinge as the movement section, wherein this swivel hinge only at one point on the radiator, preferably for example on a manifold. If the holding section is put into operation should be swung out of its rest position. Indeed the hinge has to absorb relatively large forces so that it is comparatively stable must be trained. If the swivel hinge is to be relieved, the Supported section supported on the area opposite the pivot hinge be, for example by a telescopic element, an articulated arm or the like.

For the pivot points of the swivel arms, via which the holding section on the radiator is fixed, there are various advantageous arrangement areas. So they can be Pivot points at the height of the holding section in its rest position on the radiator provide so that the holding portion is substantially on a perpendicular to the plane of the radiator between the manifolds or the heating plates on the upright level or moved in parallel.

If the pivot points are located below the area in which the Holding section rests on the radiator in its rest position, so the movement path runs of the stopping section on a downward circular orbit-like curve.

The same applies if the pivot points above the holding section in its Rest position on the radiator are arranged. This can be done with a locking device be prevented that the holding portion inadvertently back into its The radiator returns to the rest position. The trajectory of the stop section then runs on an approximated when swung out Circular path.

In this respect, the swivel arms pivot points above or below the rest position of the Have heating section on the radiator, the swivel arms should be larger Have dimension in the vertical direction of extension of the radiator than in its other main directions. This is necessary so that despite the web, on which moves the holding section, in its end position for storing a bath towel, Garment or the like, a sufficiently large distance between the Main level of the radiator and the holding section.

If the pivot points are at the same height as the holding section in its Rest position on the radiator, the swivel arms only need one for the Stability required dimension in the vertical direction of the radiator to show.

For the moving section of the radiator or the holding section according to the The present invention may use other mechanical devices reach. For example, it is advantageously possible to have at least one, preferably two telescopic devices on the one hand on the radiator or the manifolds of the Radiator and on the other hand to attach to the holding portion to the as needed Pull out the holding section and push it back again.

A further advantageous embodiment can result if the holding section is mounted on at least one pair of scissors or the like. Furthermore, the holding section on a rod, a tube or the like, advantageously each side attached to a rod, pipe or the like, the Rod, the tube or the like is held in a guide on the radiator. This solution variant is simple on the one hand and mechanically stable on the other hand.

In order to integrate the holding section into the overall appearance of the radiator in an optically attractive manner, in the case of a radiator with profile tubes with the same profile are provided like the heating tubes themselves.

The holding section according to the invention or the corresponding radiator can thus be trained that it can also be used as a clothing wardrobe. Here the holding section can also, for example, be folded out or swung out become a parcel shelf, and cloakroom hangers etc. are also hung on it can. Handles can also be provided on the holding section here.

In order to retrofit or expand the radiator according to the invention, can mounting sections on the radiator for retrofitting a or several holding sections can be provided. Such assembly sections can also other functional units are used.

If there is a greater need for storage, the radiator according to the invention can also have two or more holding sections are formed according to the invention.

If several holding sections are arranged, these can be synchronous, for example be deflectable or retractable via at least one connecting rod. For example, two vertical connecting rods or connecting profiles the lateral ends of the holding sections provided, could be folded out by a such holding section of the radiator also a larger wardrobe or the like are provided.

In the event that one or more connecting rods have several holding sections connect with each other, the movement section can also directly on the or Connecting rods are attached. Such an embodiment could also be used optically in an appealing way in the overall picture of a radiator and in particular of a designer radiator. This arrangement would also be special suitable to integrate a wardrobe in a radiator, if necessary could be pivoted out of the radiator or sunk into it.

It is particularly advantageous if the movement section with a counterweight or a spring device or the like is formed, the holding portion causes in the plane of the heating section or the area by the Heating tubes is stretched to slide back or snap back when the Holding section is in an unloaded state. So if, for example, in the bathroom a person pulls a bath towel from the holding section, he pivots Retaining section automatically returns to its rest position, so that the holding section is not can be considered more separately as the cause of accidents.

A particularly advantageous embodiment results when the swivel arms of the Holding section are divided into at least two parts. It has been shown that the holding devices on swivel arms hardly in usual packaging units can be packed for radiators as their dimensions do not allow this. For this reason, the swivel arms are preferred in at least two parts subdivided, which can be connected or are connected to one another. To this The dimensions of the holding section can be used for packaging and transport purposes are brought to such dimensions so that the holding portion together packed with a radiator in a conventional packaging unit and can be transported.

It may be advantageous to use the swivel arm parts on which the holding section is held is to be plugged together, locked and / or screwed. A Particularly simple and easy to install embodiment results if the Swivel arm parts are connected to one another via a swivel or swivel joint. On in this way, the swivel arm parts with the holding section attached to them are fixed connected to the radiator, so that all components during transport be held captive.

It is particularly advantageous if the two have a swivel or swivel joint interconnected swivel arm parts have a stiffening member that can be brought over the rotary or swivel joint, only for to override the transport and packaging required function. Here In particular, a sleeve can be provided on one of the swivel arm parts the swivel or swivel joint can be pushed around the two swivel arm parts to align and stiffen each other in continuation. Naturally a clip can also be placed in the area of the swivel or swivel joint be or a pin can be contained in one of the swivel arm parts, which in the other swivel arm part can be used from the inside if the two swivel arm parts aligned with each other.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of a radiator according to the invention or a holding section according to the invention results when a ball joint Device is provided, which is fixed on the one hand on a header, and on the other hand on one of the swivel arms or on the swivel arms of the Holding device is set. Due to the use of the ball joint It is possible to set installation tolerances easily without making corrections due to the Compensate function of the ball joint-like device. So for example the ball joint socket on one of the radiator manifolds, and the Joint ball on the swivel arm of the holding section, so tolerances be compensated for that the ball is deflected within the pan from a basis is so that the manufacturing tolerances in situ? are balanced.

To go through the misalignments and the balancing functions of the ball joint-like Equipments due to different pivot arm lengths can, it is advantageous if the swivel arm or arms over one jaw Clamping device are held. Is through the ball joint-like device To compensate for incorrect adjustment, the position of the holding section changes automatically both in the rest position and in the swung-out position. To do this To be able to compensate, the swivel arm or the swivel arms of the Holding section can be moved in the clamping device. The clamping device can be solved accordingly to the swivel arm in the clamping device to move or adjust to the clamping device then when the Holding section has the correct position to tighten again.
