Description

[0001] The utility model relates to accessories for heating radiators, intended for installation on aluminum, bimetallic and steel radiators for the purpose of drying shoes, textiles and other types of products that can be dried thanks to natural convection.

[0002] A clothes hanger for a bimetallic heating radiator is available (https: / / plast-dm.ru / produkciva / sushilka-derzhatel-na-batareiu / ). The device is an L-shaped bracket with an obtuse angle and through holes. It is available in two mounting options: inter-sectional (installed between radiator sections) and clip-on (installed on a radiator section). This hanger is designed for drying clothes on hangers and for drying shoes.

[0003] The disadvantages of this holder are that it can only be installed on aluminum and bimetallic radiators, making it unsuitable for universal use; the lack of the option to install a rod, which makes it impossible to dry linen items; and when using hangers, there is a limitation on the length of the item to prevent it from coming into contact with the floor surface of the room, becauseThe hangers themselves add length, thereby shortening the length of the item that could be dried. The non-fixed hanger position can also lead to unwanted contact between the item being dried and the radiator surface. A clothespin-type hanger may not provide a secure hold, especially when drying shoes, as if gravity is not strictly vertical, the hanger will tend to tip laterally, causing the shoes to fly off the dryer. The length of the hanger's arm, designed to accommodate shoes, may be insufficient when drying shoes with extra-high uppers or those with shafts.

[0004] The closest technical solution to the proposed utility model is a towel holder for aluminum and bimetallic radiators (RU 220414 U1, IPC D06F 57 / 00, published on September 13, 2023). The device consists of a rod on which at least one solid holder with a fixing bearing and mounting parts is mounted. According to the utility model, the fixing part is made cylindrical with a through hole that allows the holder to move along the pipe, the bearing and mounting parts have a U-shaped profile, while a central groove is made in the mounting part, forming two shelves.

[0005] The disadvantages of this solution include its ability to be installed only on aluminum and bimetallic radiators, making it unsuitable for universal use. Drying is only possible with items placed on a pipe, meaning it cannot dry different types of items simultaneously, such as shoes. The U-shaped profile requires two bracket parts (for aesthetic purposes), which increases the labor intensity of manufacturing and packaging. For more secure mounting, self-adhesive tape may be required, adding additional labor costs to the end user.

[0006] The problem that this utility model is aimed at solving is increasing the versatility of the radiator dryer.

[0007] The problem posed is solved by providing a radiator dryer comprising a holder and a rod, additionally provided with at least one extension provided with an opening in the upper portion and at least one tenon in the lower portion, wherein the holder is designed as a V-shaped bracket, wherein each arm of the bracket is provided with an opening and a hook, and at least one groove is formed in the upper portion of each arm. Furthermore, on one arm of the bracket, the hook is designed as an L-shaped element and a rib, and on the other arm of the bracket, the hook is designed as an L-shaped element with a slot, and the extension and the holder are designed as H-shaped profiles. The openings in the upper portion of each arm of the bracket and in the upper portion of the extension can be formed in the form of a double cone, wherein the narrowing of the openings occurs from the sides toward the center of the opening, and the tenon of the extension and the groove in the upper portion of each arm of the bracket are conical in shape.On the sides of the holder and extension, in close proximity to the grooves and tenons, contours of half-figures can be made with the possibility of forming, upon correct alignment, a whole figure, which is an indicator of the proper installation of the extension on the holder.

[0008] The technical result is to increase the versatility of the dryer by ensuring the possibility of using it on various types of radiators, expanding the list of drying objects, as well as the possibility of simultaneously drying various types of products, for example, the simultaneous drying of shoes, including high-top or bootleg shoes, and clothing, bed linen, towels, etc.

[0009] The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the holder is made in the form of a bracket with an H-shaped profile, which provides the necessary strength, and a V-shape, which ensures the distribution of gravity in such a way that the weight of the drying object works to additionally press the holder to the radiator, while the shoulder used to position the drying object or rod is at the level of the radiator, which allows the use of the holder in a limited space, for example, when the radiator is installed under a window sill and there is a small distance between them or the radiator is “recessed” into the wall.Each arm of the bracket has structural elements designed for installation on a specific type of radiator, namely, on one arm there is an L-shaped hook designed for fastening to the front panels of an aluminum or bimetallic radiator, and a rib designed to secure the bracket between the front panels to protect it from tipping over; on the other arm there is an L-shaped hook with a slot designed to accommodate the lamella of the upper radiator grille, which ensures a secure and stable position of the holder on the radiator.Each arm is equipped with a hole at the top for inserting a rod. The holes are double-conical, tapering from the sides toward the center. This facilitates easy insertion of the rod and subsequent securement by a tight fit, while maintaining the ability to move along the rod, allowing for adjustment of the holder's position on the rod. The top of the holder on each arm contains one or more grooves for inserting an extension. These grooves are conical in shape to facilitate easy insertion and subsequent securement of the extension.The extension is a bracket with an H-shaped profile, providing the necessary strength. It has a hole in the top for mounting a rod. The hole is double-conical, tapering from the sides toward the center. This facilitates easy rod installation and subsequent securement with a tight fit, while maintaining the ability to move along the rod, allowing for adjustment of the extension's position on the rod. The H-shaped profile and conical holes allow for the holder and extension to be manufactured in the same style, eliminating the need for a "paired" set, where one part can only be installed on one side. This increases production and packaging efficiency and improves ease of use for the end user.A round tube of any available material and any required length can be used as a rod, for example, a metal furniture rod, a plastic tube, or a wooden handle, etc. The dryer can be used in various variations: drying on a holder, drying on a holder with an extension, drying on holders with a rod, drying on holders with a rod and extensions, drying on several rods.

[0018] The radiator dryer (Fig. 1) comprises a holder 1, an extension 2 and a rod 3. The holder 1 (Fig. 2) is made in the form of a V-shaped bracket with an H-shaped profile, wherein each arm 4 and 5 of the bracket has structural elements intended for mounting on a certain type of radiator, namely: on one arm there is a hook 6 intended for fastening on the front panels of an aluminum or bimetallic radiator and a rib 7 intended for fixing the bracket between the front panels to protect it from tipping over; on the other arm there is a hook 8 with a slot 9 intended for placing in it a lamella of the upper radiator grille, which ensures a reliable and stable position on the radiator. Each shoulder in its upper part is provided with an opening 10, intended for the possibility of installing a rod 3, and the openings are made in the form of a double cone d1 and d2, namely, the narrowing of the openings is carried out from the sides to the center (view B-B of Fig.4), which in turn facilitates the installation of the rod and subsequent fixation by a tight fit, while maintaining the ability to move along the rod, allowing for adjustment of the holder's position on the rod. In the upper part of the bracket, on each arm, several grooves 11 are made for the installation of an extension 2, with the holes being conical in shape to facilitate the installation of the extension and its subsequent fixation.The extension 2 is a bracket with an H-shaped profile, having in its upper part an opening 13 in the form of a double cone, intended for the possibility of installing a rod, wherein the narrowing of the openings is carried out from the sides to the center, which in turn ensures an easier installation of the rod with its subsequent fixation by means of a tight fit, while maintaining the possibility of movement along the rod, which ensures the adjustment of the position of the extension on the rod; in its lower part, the extension has, at least, one tenon 12, intended for its installation in the grooves 11 of the holder 1. Also, on the sides of the holder 1 and the extension 2, in the immediate vicinity of the grooves 11 and the tenons 12, "half-figures" 14-17 (view A, B Fig. 4) can be applied, when correctly combined, a "whole" figure is formed, which is an indicator of the proper installation of the extension on the holder.A round pipe made of any available material and of any required length can be used as a rod, for example, a metal furniture rod, a plastic tube, or a wooden handle, etc.

[0019] To assemble the radiator dryer, insert each end of the rod into the holes in the holder. These holes are conical, tapering from the sides toward the center. The larger diameter allows for effortless insertion of the rod, while the smaller diameter secures it in place. Attaching the rod to the extension is similar. To install the extension, align the groove in the holder with the tenon on the extension. Both the groove and tenon are conical, allowing for effortless connection and securing the extension to the holder using the resulting conical joint. The radiator dryer can be used for drying shoes, textiles, and other items that can be dried using natural convection.

[0020] The utility model allows the use of a dryer on aluminum, bimetallic and steel radiators in various variations depending on the tasks at hand (Fig. 5, 6). Examples of use may be the following cases: drying low-top shoes on a holder 18, drying high-top or long-top shoes on a holder with an extension 19, drying linen products (towels, T-shirts) on holders with a rod 20, simultaneous drying of shoes and linen products 21, drying linen products on two rods 22 (Fig. 7).

[0021] This utility model provides the most efficient and safe drying method, as the item being dried is not directly exposed to the heated / hot surface of the radiator, preventing it from melting and / or losing its original and useful properties. The radiator itself is not directly exposed to moisture, which can lead to corrosion and loss of aesthetics, without reducing the effectiveness of heating the room. The dryer can be used in various ways: drying on a holder, drying on a holder with an extension, drying on holders with a rod, drying on holders with a rod and extensions, and drying on multiple rods.
