A composable structure for covering radiators, stiffened by the installation of the
window |
(57) A structure for covering radiators, consisting of lateral uprights (1 and 2) provided
with upper pins (3) for the fitting in holes provided in upper shelf (4), and comprising
the front window (5) which, once applied by means of screws (6) in housings (3) of
uprights (1 and 2), may be opened, and following to the closing thereof obtained by
inserting the outwardly protruding pins (7) into resilient housings (8) joint to uprights
(1 and 2), determins the stiffening and the self-supporting of the whole structure
withour any frame.

[0001] The present invention concerns a structure for covering radiators obtained with
the composition of a plurality of elements the stability thereof being assured by
the installation of the front window for the access to the radiator.
[0002] It is already well known that all covers for radiators known to those skilled in
the art, and even those of the composable kind, are mainly consisting of a carrying
frame that will provide the mechanical resistance to the whole structure, with a front
window.
[0003] It is the aim of the present invention to realize a composable structure for covering
radiators, without any stiffening frame, but provided with a similar mechanical resistance
due to the presence of a different and, most of all, cheaper stiffening system.
[0004] The aim set forth is reached according to the present invention by means of a composable
structure for radiator coverings that may be stiffened due to the installation of
the fron window which, by means of two pins that may be connected to the lateral
uprights in the lower part thereof, and two resilient, pressure connections inserted
in the upper part of the inner walls of said uprights, determins the for mation of
a rigid structure consisting of the elements placed around the same. The present
invention will be explained more in detail gereinbelow referring to the enclosed drawings
in which a preferred embodiment is shown.
Figure 1, shows an exploded perspective view of the components of the structure.
Figures 2 and 3, show the two details of the hooking means.
Figure 4, shows the installed structure with the access window being half opened.
[0005] Referring to the details of the drawings, the structure consists of uprights 1 and
2 that may be connected, by fitting pins 3 to the upper shelf 4 around the radiator
panelT.
[0006] Said structure, at the described assembling phase, seems to be unsteady, and the
main feature of the object according to the present invention consists in that following
to the installation of the front window 5 by means of screws 6 or similar in housings
9 of uprights 1 and 2, and by means of the consequent closing of said window 5, by
inserting the outwardly protruding pins 7 into resilient housings 8, joint to said
uprights, the whole structure results to be stiffened all around said window 5.
[0007] The main advantage of the object of the present invention consist in the low cost
due to the elimination of all realization details which, in those structures of known
kind, have the purpose of stiffening the frame.
1. A composable structure for covering radiators comprising two lateral uprights (1
and 2) and one upper shelf (4) that may be connected by fitting, characterized in
that it may be stiffened following to the installation of the front window (5) that
is the central element for the support of the whole structure.
2. A composable structure for covering radiators according to claim 1,characterized
in that the window (5) is hinged downwards by means of screws (6) in the housings
(9) of the uprights (1 and 2), and in that said window is upwards closed by means
of the protruding pins (7) in resilient housings (8) of the uproghts (1 and 2), thus
obtaining the stiffening of the whole structure.
3. A composable structure for covering radiators according to claim 1, characterized
in that the upper shelf (4) is connected, by means of the fitting of pins (3), to
the upper portion of lateral uprights (1 and 2).
