Description

DESCRIPTION HEATING DEVICE

The object of the present invention, as stated in the description of this specification, is a heating device, with a casing or outer body in the form of a tower, of the type that incorporates an electrical resistance to heat the air and which has a series of improvements designed to reduce temperatures in the exterior parts that can be used to hang or transport the heating device by the user.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an improved portable heating device, more commonly used for those of the domestic type, which are normally used to heat and condition the temperature of a room at the user's discretion.

STATE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE

20 In the current market there are various types of heaters whose upper surfaces, and particularly the areas intended for their support, such as hooks and the like, have temperatures not suitable according to the established CE standards. This is due to the fact that this area is very exposed and in contact with the upper part of the resistance that generates the heat.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is a heating device comprising a main body in the form of a tower and as a protective housing, which comprises a metal base inferiorly and which houses inside an electrical resistance which, in turn, is surrounded by a metal grid having the particularity of being closed superiorly by an upper cover of the metal material grid, such that the electrical resistance is insulated superiorly and that it has the particularity that it comprises a separating plate of plastic material and another metal 35 configured to create a space, by means of separating washers, between the lid

top of the grid that covers the electrical resistance and an assembly formed by a top bezel and a hook that is attached to the top bezel by means of a bolted joint. In a particular embodiment, the bezel is made of metallic material, while the hook is made of metallic material coated with plastic to insulate it thermally.

Thanks to the described device, a space is created between the upper cover of the grid that covers the resistance and the bezel and its hook also covered with plastic to insulate it. This space creates a thermal break bridge by allowing air to circulate between these elements. In this way, the temperature perceived in the bezel and the hook is reduced significantly, making it suitable for European product safety standards.

Throughout the description and the claims, the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be derived partly from the invention and partly from the practice of the invention. The following examples and drawings are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to restrict the present invention. In addition, the invention covers all 20 possible combinations of particular and preferred embodiments indicated herein.

EXPLANATION OF A DETAILED MODE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As shown in the attached figures, the heating device object of the present invention, in a basic configuration, and in a non-limiting manner in terms of possible variations that do not affect its essential functions, comprises a main body (1) in the form of tower and as a protective housing, which inferiorly comprises a metal base (2) in which a switch (6) is generally provided in plastic material and a power cable (5) configured to electrically feed an electrical resistor (4) generally of metallic material and that is housed inside the main body (1).

The electrical resistance (4) is surrounded by a metal grid (3) that at the same time protects the electrical resistance (4) from unwanted contacts, enables the passage of air through a plurality of holes, air that will be heated to its passage through the electrical resistance (4). The grid (3) also has the particularity of being closed superiorly by an upper cover (7) of the grid (3) of metallic material, such that the electrical resistance (4) is isolated superiorly.

The particularity of the present invention is that, by means of a separating plate (8A) of plastic material and another metallic separating plate (8B), whose separation is established by means of the separating washers (8C), a space (E) is created between the upper cover (7) of the grid (3) covering the electrical resistance (4) and the assembly formed by the upper trim (10) and the hook (11). This space (E) creates a thermal break bridge by allowing air to circulate between these elements. In this way, the perceived temperature in the bezel (10) and the hook (11) is reduced significantly, making it suitable for European product safety standards. Thus, it will be possible for the bezel (10) to be made of metallic material while the hook (11) is made of metallic material covered with plastic to insulate it.

Claims (1)

1.- Heating device comprising a main body (1) in the form of a tower and as a protective housing, which inferiorly comprises a metal base (2) and which houses inside an electric resistance (4) which, in turn , is surrounded by a metal grid (3) that has the particularity of being closed superiorly by an upper cover (7) of the grid (3) of metallic material, such that the electrical resistance (4) is insulated superiorly and that It is characterized in that it comprises a separating plate (8A) of plastic material and another metallic separating plate (8B) whose separation is established by the separating washers (8C) configured to create a space (E) between the upper cover (7) of the grid (3) covering the electrical resistance (4) and an assembly formed by an upper trim (10) and a hook (11) that is attached to the upper trim (10) and the upper cover (7) of the grid (3) ). The device according to claim 1 wherein the bezel (10) is of metallic material while the hook (11) is made of metallic material covered with plastic to insulate it thermally.
