    (54) 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.




    Description


    [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.


    Claims

    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).
