Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and a procedure for fixing a heating radiator to a wall.

[0002] For fixing heating radiators to a wall in general, the prior art envisages the use of a multitude of brackets of various kinds, upon which, once they are fastened to the wall with anchors or embedded in the wall, the radiator is applied, without directionality. The right mounting position must in fact be sought, not without difficulty, by trial and error, verifying the necessary connection between wall and radiator in an awkward manner.

[0003] This system becomes even more critical when one does not limit oneself to a classic installation, which involves a certain distance between the wall and radiator, but it is rather decided, for technical / aesthetic reasons to install the radiator right up against the wall itself.

[0004] It would be extremely complicated to install the radiator up against the wall without scratching both the paint of the radiator itself and the wall, the installer naturally having to work on finished living interiors.

[0005] It would likewise be complicated to set the radiator against the wall without this constituting a danger, also a serious one, of crushing hands given the weight and size of the radiator, which are at times considerable.

[0006] The technical task the present invention has set itself is therefore to realize a device and a procedure for fixing a heating radiator to a wall which allow the aforementioned technical drawbacks of the prior art to be overcome.

[0007] Within the scope of this technical task, one object of the invention is to realize a device and a procedure for fixing a heating radiator to a wall that allow simple, precise, safe fixing without any risks for the installer, even if he is on his own and in the presence of a particularly large, heavy radiator, and without the risk of damaging the radiator and/or the wall.

[0008] Another object of the invention is to realize a device and a procedure for fixing a heating radiator to a wall that allow the radiator to be set against the wall and the fixing distance of the radiator from wall to be adjusted easily.

[0009] A last but not least object of the invention is to realize a procedure for producing a device for fixing a heating radiator to a wall which, given its characteristics, is extremely economical.

[0010] The technical task, as well as these and other objects, according to the present invention are achieved by realizing a device for fixing a heating radiator to a wall characterised in that it comprises at least one first element for fixing to the radiator, at least one second element for fixing to the wall, and at least one connecting element which at one end is operatively constrained to said at least one first fixing element by means of at least one rotation pin and at a distance from said end it is operatively constrained to said at least one second fixing element by means of at least one guide pin sliding in at least one guide cam, said at least one connecting element being subjectable to a rotation and translation between an initial position suitable for positioning said radiator away from the wall and a final position, suitable for positioning said radiator near or adjacent to the wall, wherein said at least one connecting element stably remains by virtue of the moment that said at least one second fixing element opposes to the rotation of said at least one connecting element around the fulcrum of rotation represented by said at least one guide pin.

[0011] Preferably the fixing device has anti-rotation means serving to block the rotation of said at least one first fixing element relative to said at least one connecting element and anti-rotation means serving to block the rotation of said at least one connecting element relative to said at least one second fixing element.

[0012] Preferably said at least one guide pin and said at least one guide cam are disposed in such a way as to enable said at least one connecting element to rest stably upon said at least one second fixing element.

[0013] Preferably the constraint between said at least one guide pin and said at least one guide cam is configured in such a way as to subject said at least one connecting element to a rotation and translation in a plane parallel or coincident to the rotation plane of said at least one first fixing element.

[0014] Preferably said at least one second fixing element has at least one wing that extends transversely from a base for fixing to the wall.

[0015] Preferably said at least one connecting element has at least one wing that extends transversely from a base, said at least one guide cam comprising at least one slot present on said at least one wing of said at least one connecting element. Preferably said at least one wing of said at least one second fixing element supports said at least one guide pin oriented parallel to said at least one rotation pin and inserted into said at least one slot.

[0016] Preferably said at least one first fixing element and/or said at least one second fixing element and/or said at least one connecting element have a symmetrical axial configuration and at least one facilitated cutting line parallel or coincident to the axis of symmetry to enable its division into two identical parts.

[0017] Preferably said at least one second fixing element has two facing wings which extend transversely from opposite sides of a common base for fixing to the wall, and said at least one connecting element has two facing wings which extend transversely from opposite sides of a common base.

[0018] Preferably said at least one first fixing element, said at least one second fixing element and said at least one connecting element have the same thickness and are made of the same material.

[0019] Preferably said at least one first fixing element, said at least one second fixing element and said at least one connecting element are formed by suitably shaped sheet metal.

[0020] Preferably said anti-rotation means comprise a stop surface for the first fixing element and a stop surface for the second fixing element, both obtained in an opposing position along the perimeter edge of said connecting element.

[0021] The present invention also discloses a procedure for producing pieces of a device for fixing a heating radiator to a wall, characterised in that it comprises cutting out at least one first piece from a metal sheet, cutting out at least one second piece inside at least one offcut area of said at least one first piece, and cutting out at least one third piece inside at least one offcut area of said at least one first or at least one second piece, folding said at least one first piece in order to form at least one connecting element having a base and facing lateral wings, folding said at least one third piece in order to form at least one first fixing element, folding said at least one second piece in order to form at least one second fixing element having a base and facing lateral wings, said at least one second fixing element being obtained from an offcut of the base of said at least one connecting element.

[0022] The present invention discloses, finally, a procedure for fixing a heating radiator to a wall characterised in that it rigidly constrains the radiator to at least one first fixing element in turn hinged to at least one connecting element in turn constrained, with the possibility of rotation and translation, to at least one second element for fixing to the wall, fixing said at least one second fixing element to the wall, setting said radiator away from the wall and resting it on the floor in a vertical position, making the plumbing and/or electrical connections of the radiator, taking hold of the radiator, with its orientation blocked in a vertical plane, and subjecting it to an initial translatory movement along a direction inclined upward and toward the wall to lift it from the floor and simultaneously start bringing it nearer to the wall, releasing the hold on the radiator, with its orientation blocked in a vertical plane, and subjecting it to an intermediate horizontal translatory movement to bring it nearer and up against the wall, and a final vertical translatory movement to lower it toward a stable locking position, wherein said intermediate horizontal translatory movement and said final vertical translatory movement are achieved by the radiator by virtue of its own weight. Advantageously, the fixing device prevents in actual fact, particularly in the initial phase, unnecessary and, moreover, dangerous rotations, such as the radiator slipping forward toward the operator.

[0023] Advantageously, the radiator is completely secured to the wall right from the start, while maintaining a considerable, parallel distance therefrom, in such a way as also to remain firmly/stably resting on the ground so as to enable the operation of making the plumbing and/or electrical connections to the system easily and in complete safety.

[0024] It is possible to make the plumbing connections with the aid of flexible hoses or traditional fixed connectors, install valves and holders and make electrical connections for command and control devices, if envisaged.

[0025] Advantageously, the distance of the radiator from the wall when the connecting element is in the initial position, is considerably greater than the distance that comes to be generated when the connecting element is in the final position, in which it results in the pre-establishedldesired height from the floor, in order to facilitate the plumbing and/or electric connections of the radiator. Advantageously, a single operator can easily perform all of the operations, particularly the hooking up of hidden rear connections and mounting on the wall, without the risk of accidental falls of the radiator.

[0026] Advantageously, thanks to the final downward vertical translatory movement, the fixing device allows rigid plumbing connections, either on the side of or below the radiator itself.

[0027] If the guided fixing device is combined with flexible plumbing connections, it may contribute to avoiding allergies in persons thanks to the possibility of internal cleaning, as well as, naturally, allowing the underlying wall to be painted without having to disconnect the radiator plumbing connections.

[0028] The second element for fixing to the wall enables a safer, faster anchorage, through the preparation preferably of a number of wall-fixing holes or slots in different positions which assure fixing stability, thus making it possible to exclude any gaps or cavities in the wall.

[0029] Advantageously, the fixing device is envisaged to be located in the upper part of the radiator, thanks to its configuration and stability, thus reducing the possibility of drilling holes in an area close to the floor and damaging the pipes that usually rise from the floor itself and are located in the bottom part of the wall.

[0030] The geometry of the fixing device allows a tray for containing liquid for humidifying and introducing fragrance into the room to be placed out of sight and preferably the tray can be directly supported by the second fixing element or by the connecting element.

[0031] Advantageously, the fixing device allows the distance of the radiator from the wall to be adjusted simply by interposing a spacer element between the wall and the second fixing element or by means of other systems, for example by providing a plurality of fixing positions for the guide pin on the wing of the second fixing element at a variable distance from the base of the second fixing element.

[0032] The distance between the radiator and wall can be advantageously varied also by preparing a cladding panel or an insulating panel between the wall and the radiator so as to optimise exploitation of the heat output generated by the radiator. Advantageously, at least a number of the elements making up the fixing device have a symmetrical axial structure and one or more facilitated cutting lines parallel or coincident to the axis of symmetry so that they can be duplicated at need, for example in the case of a radiator of considerable size or in the event of installation of a radiator that extends horizontally. Similarly, it is possible to use at least one second fixing device in addition to the first so as to uniformly distribute the load and guarantee fixing stability.

[0033] The detachment of the radiator from the wall cannot be accidental, since it is obtained solely by means of a series of deliberate operations to be carried out with a precise sequence.

[0034] The fixing device advantageously has the particularity of combining ease of production and optimisation of the materials and costs. It can be completely produced with standard equipment widely available in the market, and all of the various parts composing it are conveniently designed and dimensioned in such a way that each is obtained from an offcut of the other, so as to consume as little material as possible, exploiting for the most part a single common cutting process that generates different, distinct components at the same time.

[0035] Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will be more apparent from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive embodiment of the device and procedure for fixing a heating radiator to a wall according to the invention, illustrated by way of non-restrictive example in the appended drawings, in which:

figures 1 and respectively 2 show a side elevation view of the fixing device in the initial and respectively final position of the connecting element;

figure 7 shows a metal sheet bearing the cutting lines for obtaining in a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment the parts making up the fixing device of figures 1 and 2.

[0036] With reference to the aforementioned figures, there is shown a device 1 for fixing a heating radiator 2 to a wall 3.

[0037] The fixing device 1 comprises two first elements 4 for fixing to the radiator 2, a second element 5 for fixing to the wall 3, a connecting element 6 which at one end is operatively constrained to the first fixing elements 4 and at a distance from said end is operatively constrained to the second fixing element 5.

[0038] The constraint of the connecting element 6 to the two first fixing elements 4 is obtained by means of two coaxial rotation pins 8, whereas the constraint of the connecting element 6 to the second fixing element 5 is obtained by means of two coaxial guide pins 10 each sliding in a corresponding guide cam 11.

[0039] The constraint between each guide pin 10 and the corresponding guide cam 11 is configured in such a way as to allow a rotation and translation of the connecting element 6 in a plane parallel to or coplanar with the plane of rotation of the first fixing elements 4 around the rotation pins 8.

[0040] The fixing device also has anti-rotation means serving to block the rotation of the first fixing elements 4 in one direction of rotation relative to the connecting element 6 when the first fixing elements 4 reach a preset angular position relative to the connecting element 6, and anti-rotation means serving to block the rotation of the connecting element 6 in one direction of rotation relative to the second fixing element 5.

[0041] Each first fixing element 4 consists of a metal plate having a base 13 and a flat wing 12 orthogonal to each other. The wing 12 has a through hole 14 for engaging one of the rotation pins 8, whereas the base 13 has an elongated through slot 15 for a fixing screw or weld (not shown) in the upper area of the rear wall of the radiator 2.

[0042] The second fixing element 5 is formed by a metal plate having two facing flat wings 16 which extend orthogonally from opposite sides of a flat base 17 for fixing to the wall 3.

[0043] The second fixing element 5 has in particular an overall C shape in which the base 17 is rectangular in shape and the wings 16 are parallel to each other and likewise rectangular with rounded corners.

[0044] The base 17 has through holes and slots 18 for the screws/stud bolts (not shown) for fixing to the wall 3, whereas the wings 16 each have a corresponding through hole 38 for engaging a corresponding guide pin 10.

[0045] The second fixing element 5 thus has a symmetrical axial configuration and is advantageously provided with one or more facilitated pre-cut lines 35 enabling it to be divided into two identical elements that can be fixed to the wall 3 independently of each other so that their wings 16 have a mutual distance which may even be considerably greater than the one present in the second fixing element 5 from which they originate. This is particularly useful for a balanced distribution of the load in applications in which the radiator is of considerable size or extends horizontally.

[0046] The connecting element 6 is formed by a metal plate having two facing wings 19 which extend orthogonally from opposite sides 21, 22 of a flat base 20.

[0047] The connecting element 6 also has in particular an overall C shape in which the base 20 is rectangular in shape and the wings 19 are parallel to each other and extend beyond the opposite sides 21, 22 of the base 20 with shaped portions 23, 24. The portion 23 of each wing 19 has a hole 25 for engaging a corresponding rotation pin 8.

[0048] The anti-rotation means comprise a stop surface 30 for the first fixing elements 4 defined by a flat section of the perimeter edge of the portion 23 of the wings 19 of the connecting element 6, and a stop 33 for the second fixing element 5 defined by a flat section of the perimeter edge of the portion 24 of the wings 19 of the connecting element 6.

[0049] The two guide cams 11 are obtained from two identical facing slots 26, each present on a corresponding wing 19 of the connecting element 6.

[0050] Each slot 26 has a rectilinear section 27 and a curvilinear section having a first curve 28 and a second curve 29 with a curvature opposite that of the first curve 28 and a further rectilinear section 39.

[0051] The connecting element 6 also advantageously has a symmetrical axial configuration and is provided with one or more facilitated pre-cut lines 36 enabling it to be divided into two identical elements that can be mounted independently of each other so that their wings 19 have a mutual distance which may even be considerably greater than the one present in the connecting element 6 from which they originate. This is particularly useful for a balanced distribution of the load in applications in which the radiator is of considerable size or extends horizontally. The guide pins 10 are oriented parallel to the rotation pins 8 and are each inserted into a corresponding slot 26 of the connecting element 6 in such a way that the wings 19 of the connecting element 6 lie in planes parallel to those in which the wings 16 lie.

[0052] The wings 12 of the first fixing elements 4 in turn lie in planes parallel to those in which the wings 19 of the connecting element 6 lie.

[0053] The connecting element 6 and the second fixing element 5 have substantially the same depth of the wings 19 and 16 and a different width of the bases 20 and 17, necessary to introduce the wings 19 between the wings 16 in the final position reached by the connecting element 6 and corresponding to the fixing of the radiator 2 to the wall 3.

[0054] The disposition of the guide pins 10 on the second fixing element 5 and of the guide cams 11 on the connecting element 6 is such as to allow the connecting element 6 to rest upon the base of the second fixing element 5.

[0055] Advantageously, the rotation pin 8 has facets and the hole 25 of the wing 19 of the connecting element 6 in which it is inserted has analogous facets so that the rotation pin 8 integrally rotates with the hole 25 of the wing 19 of the connecting element 6 in which it is inserted but not with the circular-shaped hole 14 of the wing 12 of the first fixing element 4 in which it is inserted. This allows a nut to be tightened on the threaded end of the rotation pin 8 without obstructing the rotation of the first fixing element 4 relative to the connecting element 6.

[0056] Analogously, the guide pin 10 has facets and the hole 38 of the wing 16 of the second fixing element 5 in which it is inserted has analogous facets so that the guide pin 10 integrally rotates with the hole 38 of the wing 16 of the second fixing element 5 in which it is inserted whereas the slot 26 is not integral either in rotation or in translation with the guide pin 10 inserted in it. This allows a nut to be tightened on the threaded end of the guide pin 10 without obstructing the rotation and translation of the connecting element 6 relative to the second fixing element 5. The radiator 2 is fixed to the wall 3 in the following manner.

[0057] The second fixing plate 5 is fixed to the wall 3, oriented with the wings 16 lying in a vertical plane.

[0058] The connecting element 6 is fixed, by means of the pins 8, to the first fixing elements 4 situated on the rear wall of the radiator 2.

[0059] The connecting element 6 takes on an initial extended position suitable for positioning the radiator 2 away from the wall 3. In particular, the connecting element 6 is disposed substantially horizontally (orthogonally to the wall 3) with the guide pins 10 positioned and fixed at the beginning of the rectilinear section 27 of the slots 26. The rectilinear section 27 of the slots 26 is also disposed substantially horizontally. In this initial position the radiator 2 rests stably on the floor and is anchored to the wall with an orientation in a vertical plane. At this point, given the ample room for manoeuvre, the operator easily makes all the plumbing (in the case of a connection with flexible hoses) and/or electrical connections as required.

[0060] The radiator 2 remains solidly constrained, since an anticlockwise rotation relative to the connecting element 6 is prevented by the engagement of the first fixing elements 4 against the corresponding stop surfaces 30, whereas the engagement between the base of the second fixing element 5 and the stop 33 also prevents a clockwise rotation of the connecting element 6 around the guide pin 10.

[0061] The operator on his own then takes hold of the radiator 2 by the base and lifts it, translating it along a direction inclined upward and toward the wall 3 and maintaining it substantially in a vertical plane. The lifting force exerted by the operator also generates a rotational torque of the radiator 2 around the pins 8 in an anticlockwise direction in figure 6. In this manner the trajectory of the radiator 2 is wholly safe for the operator, there being prevented the possibility of a rotation of the radiator 2 around the pins 8 (anticlockwise in figure 6), which would lead the lower part of the radiator to slip toward the operator. During the lifting of the radiator 2 the connecting element 6 is constrained in its movement both by its resting against the base 17 of the second fixing element 5 and by the guide pins 10 and carries out a rotational and translational movement that leads the rectilinear section 27 of the slots 26, to act upon the guide pins 10. More precisely, the connecting element 6 takes on at this point an upward inclined position in which the curved sections 28 and 29 of the slots 26 are brought progressively from a position below to a position above the guide pins 10 until having the connecting element 6 in a substantially vertical position.

[0062] In the vertical position of the connecting element 6 the radiator 2, by virtue of the moment of rotation around the rotation pin 8 generated by the force of its weight, is rotated until coming to rest with its rear wall against the edge of the wings of the connecting element 6.

[0063] At this point the operator progressively releases his grip on the radiator 2, whose weight is discharged on the connecting element 6 and in addition the weight thereof is discharged on the guide pins 10 on which, consequently, first the curved section 28 of the slots 26 slides, completing the 90° rotation of the connecting element 6, which goes to position itself with its base 20 parallel to the wall 3, and subsequently the second curved section 29 of the slots 26 slides, producing a downward vertical translation of the connecting element 6, which goes to wedge itself between the base 17 of the second element 5 and the guide pins 10 and remains stably locked in the position thus reached. During the sliding of the first curved section 28 of the slots 26 on the guide pins 10, the radiator 2 thus translates horizontally toward the wall 3, whereas during the sliding of the second curved sections 29 of the slots 26 on the guide pins 10, the radiator 2 comes up against the wall, and finally translates vertically downward at the end of the rectilinear section 39 of the slots 26.

[0064] In all configurations assumed by the connecting element 6, from the initial position to the final position, the radiator 2 remains with an orientation that is nearly fixed in a vertical plane.

[0065] In the case of rigid plumbing connections, they can be made directly by exploiting the final translational downward movement of the radiator 2, generated in the point corresponding to the rectilinear section 39 of the slots 26.

[0066] The fixing device does not include any specific locking or release mechanisms since the radiator reaches the final fixed position in which it remains by virtue of its own weight and the weight of the contents and particularly by virtue of the moment/leverage that are created between the pin 10 and the base 17 of the second fixing element 5.

[0067] To dismount the radiator 2 from the wall 3 one carries out a substantially reverse procedure. Dismounting, as noted, can only be deliberate as it must follow a precise, predefined handling scheme, which is the reason why the connection system is thus to be considered endowed with an "integrated anti-release safety system".

[0068] According to a salient aspect of the invention, as noted, the first fixing elements 4, the second fixing element 5 and the connecting element 6 have the same thickness and are made with the same material.

[0069] In particular, all these elements can be produced from a single metal sheet.

[0070] The procedure for producing the pieces of the fixing device 1 takes place, in a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment, as follows.

[0071] The connecting element 6 is cut out from a metal sheet, the second fixing element 5 is cut out inside at least one offcut area of the connecting element 6, and the two first fixing elements 4 are cut out inside at least one offcut area of the second fixing element 5 and/or of the connecting element 6.

[0072] After being cut the pieces are suitably folded to obtain the final shape.

[0073] It was found to be advantageous to obtain the second fixing element 5 from an offcut 31 of the base 20 of the connecting element 6, and the first fixing elements 4 from an offcut 32 of the base 17 of the second fixing element 5. The first fixing elements 4, being of considerably smaller size than the second fixing element 5 and the connecting element 6, can be obtained, together or separately, from one or two offcut areas differently positioned in the second fixing element 5 and/or in the connecting element 6.

[0074] According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, from the same offcuts of the metal sheet from which these elements are obtained or else from the elements themselves, it is also possible to obtain, if required, a number of spacers to be interposed between the base of the second fixing element 5 and the wall 3 to adjust the distance of the radiator 2 from the wall.

[0075] In a variant of the preferred illustrated embodiment, the two rotation pins, like the two guide pins, can be replaced by a single pin obtained imagining extending the two pins toward each other. Analogously, the two first fixing elements can be replaced by a single first fixing element obtained by imagining extending the base of the two first fixing elements toward each other.

[0076] The fixing device thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variants, all falling within the scope of the inventive concept; moreover, all the details may be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.

[0077] In particular, in the minimum configuration the fixing device comprises only one first fixing element consisting of a base and a single wing, only one second fixing element consisting of a base and a single wing, only one connecting element consisting of a base and a single wing, and only one guide pin coupled with only one guide cam.

[0078] In practice, the materials used, as well as the dimensions, can be any whatsoever according to need and the state of the art.

13. A heating radiator (2) characterised in that it comprises a device for fixing (1) to a wall (3) according to any of the preceding claims.

14. A procedure for producing pieces of a device (1) for fixing a heating radiator (2) to a wall (3), characterised in that it comprises cutting out at least one first piece from a metal sheet, cutting out at least one second piece inside at least one offcut area of said at least one first piece, and cutting out at least one third piece inside at least one offcut area of said at least one first or at least one second piece, folding said at least one first piece in order to form at least one connecting element (6) having a base (20) and facing lateral wings (19), folding said at least one third piece in order to form at least one first fixing element (4), folding said at least one second piece in order to form at least one second fixing element (5) having a base (17) and facing lateral wings (16), said at least one second fixing element (5) being obtained from an offcut (31) of the base (20) of said at least one connecting element (6).

15. A procedure for fixing a heating radiator (2) to a wall (3) characterised in that it rigidly constrains the radiator (2) to at least one first fixing element (4) in turn hinged to at least one connecting element (6) in turn constrained, with the possibility of rotation and translation, to at least one second element (5) for fixing to the wall (3), fixing said at least one second fixing element (5) to the wall (3), setting said radiator (2) away from the wall (3) and resting it on the floor in a vertical position, making the plumbing and/or electrical connections of the radiator (2), taking hold of the radiator (2), with its orientation blocked in a vertical plane, and subjecting it to an initial translatory movement along a direction inclined upward and toward the wall (3) to lift it from the floor and simultaneously start bringing it nearer to the wall (3), releasing the hold on the radiator (2), with its orientation blocked in a vertical plane, and subjecting it to an intermediate horizontal translatory movement to bring it nearer and up against the wall (3), and a final vertical translatory movement to lower it toward a stable locking position, wherein said intermediate horizontal translatory movement and said final vertical translatory movement are achieved by the radiator (2) by virtue of its own weight.
