ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a fastening system for heat exchangers or pieces of furniture and a lining. For many purposes, especially for shielding from cold air in front of large windows or glazing extending down to the floor, for showcases, conservatories, verandahs, etc., radiators/convectors for floor-mounting or bracket-mounting on bases, etc. are used, which radiators/convectors are dimensioned to be as high or low as permitted by the circumstances or as desired. These heating elements are produced from iron, sheet metal and other materials.
WO 93/04321 describes an extensive thermostating apparatus in which a mounting element displaceable in the longitudinal direction owing to self-expansion is arranged between an arm and a cover.
The object of the present development is an elongated piece of furniture or heating or cooling element which can be lined in the same way as baseboard heating, for example with wood, modules, ceramic tiles, tiles, etc.
A desired heating system should be capable of being mounted substantially exactly in a line, possibly at various angles, and should consist of light individual parts. Furthermore, it should be possible to be able to produce such heating systems in larger/longer form in any desired combination, in particular in modular design.
The mounting for short to very long heat exchangers should in certain embodiments be movable, adjustable and adaptable. These systems should be capable of being mounted directly on the floor or a distance from the floor or on brackets and should be both produced from individual parts and capable of being mounted in a line. In the case of ceramic tiles and a tile lining, the support panel for the lining should consist of preferably heat-conducting material in order to transfer some of the heat from the heat exchanger to the ceramic tiles or tiles. All problems which may arise from the mounting of the lining made of a very wide range of materials, such as wood or the like, or stone, ceramic, tiles, etc., should be solved by this development.

These extensions
7
/
5
and grooves
6
may have different shapes, including T-shaped, dovetail-shaped, etc. Thus, for example, a T-shaped extension
5
in the lower part
4
b
and a T-shaped groove
6
in the rail
1
are sufficient as a guide, or vice versa.
The rail
1
itself may also serve as extension

and be guided in a recess/groove

a
(
FIG. 10
) in the lower part

b.
If the mounting part
2
can be lifted from the rail
1
and adjusted longitudinally, a fixing device is preferably mounted or the mounting part
2
can be fastened by screws or the like to the rail
1
. The lower part
4
b
has a support surface
3
for a heat exchanger
12
. Side parts
4
are formed on both sides of the lower part
4
b.
The object of these side parts
4
is to hold the lining
10
exactly by means of upper and lower fastening systems (not shown in this Figure).
The total structure of the heating system can be constructed exactly, light and virtually 100% straight owing to the linearly aligned rail
1
which also has sufficient strength and is also preferably produced in metal or plastic by the extrusion process. The mounting parts
2
are pushed onto the rail
1
at intervals—according to the position of the heat exchanger
12
and of the lining
10
, for example every 60 cm. The mounting parts
2
can also be moved after the insertion or connection of the heat exchanger
12
, according to the requirement for the lining parts
10
(butt joint). If the rail
1
is resilient, for example made of plastic, it is also possible to snap in the mounting parts
2
, or vice versa.
The side parts
4
have extension parts
9
which are preferably formed in the same plane of the lower edge of the rail
1
and thus form a plane. The groove-extension joint, mounting part
2
—rail
1
, has a small amount of play. Thus, the mounting part can be moved on the rail
1
by lifting slightly, without the guide jamming or the extension parts
9
grinding on the floor. This embodiment is particularly suitable for floor mounting as well as for continuous bases, bases arranged at intervals and brackets. Even in the case of floor mounting, passages
15
a
can be arranged in the lining
10
on both sides or one side, so that air can also flow in from the side. The side parts
4
can be formed so that they can be pushed onto or mounted on the mounting part
2
.
