Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates generally to an anchorage rail, a bracket and a system for mounting a radiator on a wall. The invention provides a very robust and cost effective solution which uses less material but with maintained strength.Background art

[0002] There is a multiplicity of radiator brackets on the market for securing different types of radiators to walls. By "radiator bracket" is meant a complete bracket comprising both an anchorage rail and one or more engagement members (holder / retainer / etc.), where typically the anchorage rail is an elongate rail which is fixed to the wall and the engagement members typically are an upper and a lower holder of some kind, where the upper holder may be attachable to the anchorage rail and the lower normally is a holder which is fixed to the rail or a part of the anchorage rail. Normally, the radiator brackets are used in pairs or more than two brackets per radiator. A feature common to prior art types is that they often strive to realize rapid and simple mounting of the radiator, at the same time as the radiator bracket should be hidden behind the radiator. Since different radiators have different designs, for example concerning dimensions, but also concerning convector plates, grills, distance to the wall etc., the anchorage rail / the brackets are adapted to the particular radiator type in question, which means a lot of variants are needed.

[0003] EP 0 294 377 B1 discloses a radiator bracket with an anchorage rail with engagement members, for fixing a radiator to a wall. This type of bracket has been popular because of its relatively simple handling, also when a large number of brackets are required, for example on mounting long and / or heavy radiators. Each one of the brackets has a fixed lower support member and an upper engagement member which has an upper locking position from which the upper engagement member may be released in order to grasp around a part of the radiator or a retainer device (console) thereon. The bracket is normally shorter than the height of the radiator, to minimize the visibility when the radiator is mounted to the wall. The bracket also includes a possibility for locking the bracket against accidental dismounting of the radiator.

[0004] Another, similar type of radiator bracket is disclosed in EP 2 072 917 B1, which also comprises an anchorage rail with upper and lower support members / engagement members, for fixing a radiator to a wall, wherein the upper member is spring-biased and fixable to the anchorage rail and the lower member is a fixed member which protrudes outwards like a bend with a "hook", which acts as a lower engagement member.

[0005] Yet a similar solution is presented in DE 201 15 976 U1. The solutions presented above and other known art within the technical field have drawbacks. One of the drawbacks is that the lower engagement member is fixed to the anchorage rail, more precise, is a part of the rail, which means that a lot of variants of anchorage rails are needed to cover different types of radiator designs, dimensions, distances to wall etc. Another drawback is that all known types of anchorage rails are U-shaped or L-shaped, which is a rather weak design which demands rather thick steel-sheet material of the anchorage rail, to cope with high loads (i.e. heavy radiators).Summary of invention

[0006] An object of the present invention is to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems. This object is met by the invention disclosed in the independent claims.

[0007] In the following description of the present invention, terms such as 'upper' and 'lower' will occasionally be employed. These terms are not to be considered as restrictive of the present invention, but merely serve the purpose of describing the present invention in its most common position of use, when it is mounted or is about to be mounted on a wall for the purpose of holding a radiator in position on the wall. It is also this position which is shown in figures. The term 'rear side' is taken to signify that side, which faces the wall, while 'front' or 'outer' side is taken to signify that side, which faces the radiator.

[0008] According to an aspect, an anchorage rail arranged for mounting a radiator on a wall is disclosed. The anchorage rail is elongate with a length in a first direction between its first end and its opposite second end, a width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a height in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and to the second direction. The anchorage rail comprises a front part and an opposite back part substantially parallel to the front part, wherein the front part and the back part extend from the first end to the second end of the rail, wherein when the anchorage rail is in a mounted position on a wall, the back part bears against the wall. The anchorage rail further comprises at least one first hole intended for a fixation means for fixing the anchorage rail to the wall, at least one second hole which extends through the front part, which second hole is intended for receiving a first engagement member for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator. The anchorage member may for example be a longitudinal bar which extends along the back part of the radiator, in the width direction of the radiator. The anchorage rail further comprises a first side part and an opposite second side part substantially parallel to the first side part, the first side part and the second side part extends from the first end to the second end, whereby the front part, the first side part, the back part and the second side part together form a tubular rectangular-shaped cross-section of the anchorage rail. So, the main form is a rectangular-shaped cross-section but locally, recesses, holes, protrusions, or other local varieties may occur along the anchorage rail, but the overall impression is in some way rectangular-shaped. The anchorage rail further comprises four connecting portions which extend along the anchorage rail from its first end to its second end, wherein the connecting portions respectively connects the front part to the first side part, the first side part to the back part, the back part to the second side part and the second side part to the front part. The connection portions so to speak are the "corners" of the rectangular-shaped anchorage rail, seen in cross-section, but since the connection portions may have different looks (which will be explained below), they are not named as "corners". The anchorage rail further comprises at least one stiffening which extends along the anchorage rail, for strengthening the anchorage rail against forces acting in the second direction and / or the third direction.

[0009] By such solution, a very robust anchorage rail is achieved, wherein the rectangular shape together with the stiffening provides the possibility to use very thin material. Prior art anchorage rails within the field, normally are produced in a rather thick steel-sheet material to cope with high loads (i.e. heavy radiators), due to their open design (L-shaped or U-shaped), while the inventive anchorage rail, with its rectangular-shaped cross-section, which is a closed cross-section where all parts (back part, side part, front part, side part) are connected by the connecting portions, may be produced in such thin steel-sheet material as 0.7 mm. Further, the dimensions of the anchorage rail may be kept small, due to the very robust design. The stiffening may be of any kind, like for example a longitudinal protrusion, folding or double layered material, or similar, and may be positioned where it gains the strength of the rail as much as possible, for example in one or more of the connecting portions or in the middle of one or more of the front part, back part, or side parts (related to the cross-section). The stiffening preferably extends more or less along the length of the anchorage rail and preferably is made by roll forming of steel sheet material. The "closing" of the cross-section may be done by welding, by folding or other types of joint methods.

[0010] According to an embodiment, the at least one stiffening comprises a first stiffening arranged at each of the four connecting portions of the anchorage rail. The connecting portions, which may be "corners" (more or less a bending of the anchorage rail to the closed design), thus not only comprising the bend, but also the stiffening, which makes the design even more robust compared to just a bend of the steel sheet metal. This is proven to provide very high strength against forces projected to the anchorage rail, wherein very thin material can be used to roll form the anchorage profile with remained or higher strength compared to known designs of anchorage rails.

[0011] According to an embodiment, the at least one stiffening comprises a second stiffening arranged at the back part of the anchorage rail and arranged at a distance from the connecting portion, which connects the back part to the first side part and at a distance from the connecting portion, which connects the back part to the second side part. Preferably, the second stiffening is arranged in the middle, between the adjacent connecting portions, and along the rail. The stiffening of the back part serves both as a stiffening of the anchorage rail and a support between the rail and a wall, when the anchorage rail is attached (screwed) to the wall. By that, the back part of the rail is even more stiff and is also prevented from bending when attaching (screwing) the rail hard to the wall.

[0012] According to an embodiment, the at least one stiffening has a circular arc cross-section. Preferably, the stiffening is designed with its circular arc-shape like a half circle, which has a circle sector angle of near 180°, preferably just below 180°. In any case, the circle sector angle preferably is between 160° - 200°. This design is proven to provide a very robust design of the stiffening and thereby a stiff anchorage rail, which allows the use of thin steel sheet material with remained or higher strength, compared to prior art solutions.

[0013] According to an embodiment, the at least one stiffening comprises a folding. A folding provides a strong, double-layered material as the stiffening, and is an effective way of "closing" the cross-section of the anchorage rail (for example instead of welding) at the same time as providing a stiffening in a wanted position, for example at the connecting portions, seen in cross-section view. By that, the anchorage rail may comprise one or more parts forming the rectangular-shaped cross-section of the anchorage rail, for example one part which is roll-formed to the closed design and connected by the folding. Alternatively, two (or more) parts are connected by the folding (stiffening) to one closed design (cross-section) of the anchorage rail.

[0014] According to an embodiment, the at least one stiffening is / are arranged so that it / they protrude(s) from the tubular rectangular-shaped cross-sectional shape of the anchorage rail. This means that, relating to the cross-section of the anchorage rail, the stiffening "raises" inwards or outwards relative to the overall rectangular-shape, i.e. protrudes from one or more of the front part, back part and / or side parts of the anchorage rail, in the cross-section. The stiffening thus may be for example a bend, a folding, a thicker material etc., locally arranged at one or several parts of the anchorage rail (relating to cross-section view) and extending along the rail.

[0015] According to an embodiment, the at least one stiffening protrude(s) in direction away from an interior of the tubular rectangular-shaped cross-sectional shaped anchorage rail.

[0016] According to an embodiment, the anchorage rail is arranged for receiving a second engagement member for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator. By that, the anchorage rail is more flexible, and the same rail may fit many different second engagement members.

[0017] According to an embodiment, the anchorage rail comprises at least one third hole extending through the front part, which third hole is intended for receiving the second engagement member for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator.

[0018] According to an embodiment, the second end of the anchorage rail comprises a bend which protrudes in direction away from the back part, wherein the bend comprises a second engagement member for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator. This is an alternative solution if a fixed second engagement member is preferred, which may be suitable solution for large orders of the same type are at hand.

[0019] According to an aspect of the invention, a bracket arranged for mounting a radiator on a wall is disclosed. The bracket comprises an anchorage rail according to any of the above described embodiments and a first engagement member, arranged for engagement with the at least one second hole of the anchorage rail, wherein the first engagement member is arranged for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator. This type may have a fixed or attachable second engagement member in combination with the anchorage rail and the first engagement member.

[0020] According to an embodiment, the anchorage rail of the bracket comprises at least one third hole extending through the front part of the anchorage rail, wherein the anchorage rail further comprises a second engagement member, arranged for engagement with the at least one third hole of the anchorage rail, wherein the second engagement member is arranged for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator. By that, a flexible bracket for mounting a radiator to a wall is achieved, wherein the same anchorage rail may be used for several different types of first and second engagement members.

[0021] According to an embodiment, the first engagement member of the bracket is spring-biased by spring means towards the second engagement member. The spring-biased solution may be of any kind and provides a ready-state where the first engagement member is set in a ready mode, ready for receive the radiator, which preferably is introduced in the second (lower) engagement member and then swung towards the first engagement member, which then automatically snaps into a locking position on the upper end of the radiator or console of the radiator. This provides a very swift and easy mounting of the radiator to the bracket.

[0022] According to an aspect, a system arranged for mounting a radiator on a wall is disclosed. The system comprises at least two anchorage rails which each comprises at least one third hole extending through the front part and which third hole is intended for receiving the second engagement member for engagement with a radiator or an anchorage member to be disposed on a radiator. The system further comprises a plurality of sets of first and second engagement members, for engagement with the anchorage rail, and a radiator or an anchorage member (console) to be disposed on a radiator. The plurality of sets of first and second engagement members comprises a first set having a first set of distances between outermost ends of the first and second engagement members, which outermost ends face away from the anchorage rail, and the front part of the anchorage rail, and a second set of the first and second engagement members having a second set of distances between outermost ends of the first and second engagement members, wherein the first set of distances and second set of distances are different. The first set of distances are arranged to fit one type of radiator, but the distance between the outermost end of the first engagement member and the distance between the outermost end of the second engagement member, within the same first set, may be the same distance but must not be the same. This depends on how the particular radiator type is configured, for example if the first (upper) engagement member holds a top edge of the radiator or a console arranged on the back side of the radiator. The same of course applies to the second set of distances. This means that the system comprises the same type of anchorage rail but fits a number of different types of radiators and / or different distances between the back side of the radiator and the wall, wherein the system fit any radiator which may be in the product range.

Detailed description

[0025] Fig. 1 shows a side view of a radiator 50 when mounted on a wall by means of an inventive bracket 30 according to the inventive concept. The bracket 30 comprises an inventive anchorage rail 1 which is mounted to the wall by means of fixation means (not visible) like screws or the like. The bracket further comprises a first engagement member 20, which is an upper engagement member, and second engagement member 22, which is a lower engagement member, relating to a mounted position of the bracket 30 on the wall. The first and second engagement members 20, 22 are attached to the anchorage rail 1 and holds the radiator 50 on the bracket by that the radiator 50 is clamped between the first and second engagement members 20, 22.

[0026] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the inventive anchorage rail 1 visible in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a cross-section view of the anchorage rail of Fig. 2. The anchorage rail 1 is elongate with an extension in a first direction X between a first end 2 and an opposite second end 3. To define the anchorage rail 1 further it has a width in a second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X, and a height in a third direction Z, which is perpendicular to the first direction X and to the second direction Y and the anchorage rail 1 has a substantially "closed" cross-section with a rectangular shape. The anchorage rail 1 comprises a front part 4 which, in the mounted position on a wall, faces away from the wall, and an opposite back part 5, parallel to the front part 4, and thus faces the wall in the anchorage rails 1 mounted position on the wall. At least parts of the back part 5 bears against the wall, which will be explained further below. For fixing the anchorage rail 1 to a wall or the like, it comprises preferably two first holes 6, which are intended for a fixation means (screws) or other types of fixation means. The first hole / holes 6 preferably is / are elongate slots and may comprise a keyhole-like design with an elongate slot part and a circular part. At the first end 2 (or near the same), a second hole 7 is arranged and it extends through the front part 4. The second hole 7 preferably is one hole and one slot, the latter being open upwards, and the second hole 7 and slot 7 are intended for receiving the first engagement member 20 which is releasably attached to the anchorage rail 1 for engagement with the radiator 50 or an anchorage member which may be a console or the like, disposed on the back side of the radiator 50.

[0027] The anchorage rail 1 further comprises a first side part 10 and an opposite second side part 11, substantially parallel to the first side part 10. The first side part 10 and the second side part 11 extend from the first end 2 to the second end 3, and the front part 4, the first side part 10, the back part 5 and the second side part 11 together form, as mentioned above, a rectangular-shaped cross-section with a tubular design. The anchorage rail 1 further comprises four connecting portions 12 which extend along the anchorage rail 1 from its first end 2 to its second end 3, wherein the connecting portions 12 respectively connects the front part 4 to the first side part 10, the first side part 10 to the back part 5, the back part 5 to the second side part 11 and the second side part 11 to the front part 4. In the preferred embodiment, the anchorage rail 1 further comprises five stiffenings 12, 13, 14, which substantially extends along the anchorage rail 1, but which may have local "interruptions", for example at through holes etc. The stiffenings 12, 13, 14 are designed and positioned for strengthening the anchorage rail 1 against forces acting in the second direction Y and / or the third direction Z of the anchorage rail 1.

[0028] In Fig. 3, the cross-section view of the anchorage rail 1 clearly shows how the four connecting portions 12 are designed as a respective stiffening 13, wherein each connecting portion 12 / stiffening 13 is arranged so that it protrudes outwards, away from an interior 15 of the "closed" anchorage rail 1. A second stiffening 14 is arranged at the back part 5 of the anchorage rail 1, at a distance from the connecting portions 12 which connect the back part 5 to the first side part 10 and the second side part 11, and serves both as a stiffening of the anchorage rail 1 and as a support between the rail 1 and a wall, when the anchorage rail 1 is attached (screwed) to the wall, wherein the back part 5 also is prevented from bending when attaching (screwing) the rail 1 hard to the wall.

[0029] The stiffenings 12, 13, 14 has a circular arc cross-section, preferably designed like a half-circular-like protrusion which extends along the length of the anchorage rail 1. Preferably the stiffenings 13 arranged at the connecting portions 12 are arranged like a half circle, for example with a circle sector angle between 160° - 200°, preferably close to 180° and most preferred just below 180°. Preferably, the anchorage rail 1 is produced by roll forming from one sheet metal blank to the inventive design and may for example be welded to its "closed" design. This design, with stiffenings 13 at each connecting portion 12 is proven to provide a very robust design of the anchorage rail 1, which allows the use of thin steel sheet material with remained or higher strength, wherein the material thickness of the inventive anchorage rail 1 may be as thin as 0.7 mm compared to a normal thickness of 1.5 mm at comparable anchorage rails. The second stiffening 14 is preferably slightly less than a half circle, preferably with a circle sector angle a bit smaller than 180°.

[0030] An alternative embodiment of a stiffening (not visible in any figures) is that one or more of the stiffenings comprise a folding. A folding provides a strong, double-layered material as the stiffening, and is an effective way of "closing" the cross-section of the anchorage rail 1 (for example instead of welding), at the same time as providing a stiffening in a wanted position, for example at the connecting portions 12, seen in cross-section view. By that, the anchorage rail 1 may comprise one or more parts forming the rectangular-shaped cross-section of the anchorage rail 1, for example where one part is roll-formed to the closed design and connected by the folding. Alternatively, two (or more) parts are connected by the folding (stiffening) to one closed design (cross-section) of the anchorage rail 1.

[0031] Fig 4a shows a front view of the anchorage rail 1 and Fig 4b shows a side view of the same. Fig 4c shows a view from the back of the anchorage rail 1. The anchorage rail 1 is as earlier explained elongate and has a length I in the first direction X, a width w in the second direction Y and a height h in the third direction Z. The width w and the height h is defined by as the distance between the outermost parts (the tangent of the circular parts) of the stiffenings 13 arranged at the connecting portions 12 and the second stiffening 14 arranged at the back part 5 of the anchorage rail 1 protrudes to the same height from the back part 5 as the stiffenings 13 arranged on opposite sides of the second stiffening 14.

[0032] Fig. 5a is a front view of the bracket 30 according to the invention and Fig. 5b is a side view of the bracket 30. Fig. 5c is a side view of the first engagement means 20 and Fig. 5d is a side view of the second engagement means 22 while Fig. 5e is a top view of the second engagement means 22. The first engagement means 20 comprises an upper part 20b and a lower part 20c and is removably arranged in the second hole 7 (upper hole and slot, not visible) near the first end 2. The first engagement means 20 further comprises a spring 21, which is arranged between a tongue 24 and the lower part 20c. The tongue 24 engages with a transverse recess of the second hole, wherein the first engagement means 20 is spring-biased relative the transverse recess of the second hole 7 and by that axially movable relative the anchorage rail 1. By that, the first engagement means 20 also is spring-biased relative the second engagement means 22. The second engagement means 22 is removably arranged in the third hole 8 (lower holes) near the second end 3 of the anchorage rail 1. When mounting a radiator, normally at least two brackets 30 are fixed to the wall by screws and the first engagement means 20 is put into a ready position by that the first engagement means 20 is lifted relative the anchorage rail 1, wherein the spring 21 is tensioned and first engagement means 20 is locked in the ready state. Then, when mounting the radiator between the first engagement means 20 and the second engagement means 22, the radiator is slightly angled and put with its lower edge on the second engagement means 22, which has a recess 22b with a plastic edge protection part 22c, wherein the lower edge of the radiator is put into the recess 22b / plastic protection part 22c. Then the radiator is tilted towards the first engagement means 20 wherein the first engagement means 20 snaps onto the upper edge of the radiator when the upper edge reaches the first engagement means 20, and the radiator is thereby, in a semi-automatic way attached to the bracket 30. Thus, the radiator is clamped between the first engagement means 20 and the second engagement means 22. Both the first engagement means 20 and the second engagement means 22 comprise tongues 23 or similar details for cooperation with the holes 7, 8 of the anchorage rail 1, which tongues 23 or similar details are dimensionally coordinated with the interior 15 of the anchorage rail 1, wherein the first engagement means 20 and the second engagement means 22 fits properly in the anchorage rail 1.

[0033] The anchorage rail 1 preferably is a part of a system which fits a plurality of variants of different first engagement means 20 and the second engagement means 22, wherein the first and second engagement means 20, 22 may constitute a set which is adapted for engagement with the anchorage rail 1 and a specific radiator 50 or a specific anchorage member (console) arranged on the back side of the radiator 50. The plurality of sets of first and second engagement members 20, 22 comprises a first set having a first set of distances d 1 , d 2 between outermost ends 20a, 22a of the first and second engagement members 20, 22 (the outermost ends 20a, 22a face away from the anchorage rail 1), and the front part 4 of the anchorage rail 1. The plurality of sets of first and second engagement members 20, 22 further comprises a second set having a second set of distances d 3 , d 4 between outermost ends 20a, 22a of the first and second engagement members 20, 22, and the front part 4 of the anchorage rail 1. The first set of distances d 1 , d 2 and second set of distances d 3 , d 4 are different to match different applications. In the same way, a plurality of sets of first and second engagement members 20, 22, with different distances d n , d m may be part of the system. The same anchorage rail 1 is preferably used at all different sets, wherein a flexible and cost effective system for attaching a radiator to a wall is achieved.
