Description

DESCRIPTION

of the invention entitled:

"Radiator, in particular bathroom radiator" The present invention relates to a radiator, in particular a bathroom radiator.

Water radiators are known generally consisting of a tube bundle (with horizontal or vertical tubes) or plates connected to manifolds crossed by heated water.

Also known are electric radiators filled with a fluid and heated by means of an electric resistance which engages its natural circulation.

Generally these radiators are arranged parallel or perpendicular to a bathroom wall.

The purpose of the invention is to make a radiator whose arrangement can be varied at will with respect to the fixing wall.

Another purpose of the invention is to make a radiator that can also be used as a towel holder.

These purposes and others that will emerge from the following description are achieved according to the invention with a bathroom radiator as described in claim 1.

The present invention is further clarified hereinafter in a preferred embodiment thereof reported for purely illustrative but not limitative purposes with reference to the attached drawings in which:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a radiator according to the invention, Figure 2 shows it in longitudinal section,

Figure 3 shows the detail of the water inlet area,

figure 4 shows the radiator in plan, e

Figure 5 shows the valve in longitudinal section.

As can be seen from the figures, the radiator according to the invention consists of a vertical tubular manifold 2 in metal, preferably stainless steel, closed at both ends by a lower circular plate 4 and an upper circular plate 6.

The lower plate 4 is affected by a threaded hole 8 in which a corresponding threaded sleeve 10 of a single / double pipe valve (equipped with a coaxial connection / connection) is engaged, generally indicated with 12, through which the heating fluid enters / exits. .

In particular, said valve 12 comprises a tube or probe 14, made of plastic or other materials, having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the threaded sleeve 10 and a height less than the height of the tubular manifold 2.

Two sleeves 16 are articulated to the tubular manifold 2 to each of which a radiating element 18 consisting of a plate bent substantially in a V shape is cantilevered, the sleeves and the radiating elements being made of metal material, preferably aluminum.

In variant embodiments not shown in the drawings, the radiating element can consist of a simple flat plate, of rods welded together, all welded or incorporated in turn to the sleeve.

The two sleeves 16 are separated, at their facing circular edge, by a gasket 20 in anti-friction Teflon or similar materials.

To mount the radiator, proceed in the following way: two L-shaped brackets 22 are attached to the wall to which the radiator is applied, arranged specular to each other with the distance between their horizontal portions 24 substantially corresponding to the height of the tubular manifold.

Said manifold, with the radiating elements articulated to it, is constrained to the horizontal sections 24 of the L-shaped brackets 22 for the insertion of threaded bolts 26 which pass through holes 28 provided in the horizontal sections 24 and engage in corresponding threaded holes 30 obtained in the plates closure 4 and 6.

Two U-shaped templates 34 are applied to the brackets 22 which are housed in special recesses 36 obtained in the sleeves 16

The operation of the radiator foresees that the water in temperature passes through the valve 12, flows inside the tube 14 to fill the inside of the tubular manifold 2. As the hot water cools, a forced circulation is created which leads the less hot water to escape through the annular space 32 between the external surface of the small tube 14 and the internal surface of the threaded sleeve 10 of the valve 12.

From what has been said it is clear that the radiator according to the invention has numerous advantages including:

- the possibility of assuming various spatial arrangements thanks to the possibility of rotating the radiating elements 18 with respect to the tubular duct 2. - the possibility of using the upper edges of the radiating elements as a support for towels, towels, etc.

- the possibility of hiding towels, bathrobes, hanging from the wall, by complete rotation of the two radiant elements until they are coplanar to the wall itself,

- a high thermal output due to the large exchange surface.

In an embodiment variant, not shown in the drawings, the heating element consists of an electrical resistance inserted inside the manifold.
