Radiator of highly flexible use

Abstract

The radiator of highly flexible use comprising a radiant element provided with supports for its connection to a wall. The supports comprise at least one hinge to support the radiant element and to enable it to be rotated between a working position and a maintenance position.

1 . A radiator of highly flexible use comprising a radiant element provided with supports for its connection to a wall, wherein said supports comprise at least one hinge to support said radiant element and to enable it to be rotated between a working position and a maintenance position. 
   
   
       2 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said supports also comprise at least one element for locking said radiant element in its working position. 
   
   
       3 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said hinge and said locking element are fixed to opposing side regions of said radiant element. 
   
   
       4 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said hinge presents a first portion fixed to said radiant element and a second portion fixable to the wall, said first and second portion being rotatably connected together by a removable pin. 
   
   
       5 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , further presenting two hinges positioned at one end of said radiator and having said pins aligned. 
   
   
       6 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said locking element presents a hook projecting from said radiant element and, fixable to the wall, a seat to receive said hook, said seat carrying a lock for said hook. 
   
   
       7 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said lock comprises a threaded element or socket head screw. 
   
   
       8 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said lock comprises a magnet mounted on the base of said seat. 
   
   
       9 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , further presenting thermovector fluid feed and discharge conduits in the form of flexible hoses. 
   
   
       10 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said flexible hoses have that end connected to the radiator and/or that end connectable to a residential heating plant articulated or rotatable. 
   
   
       11 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , further being of plate type and comprising, as the radiant element, a plate provided with at least one groove into which a conduit containing a thermovector fluid is inserted. 
   
   
       12 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 11 , further presenting a plurality of heat transfer fins fixed to that side of said plate on which said grooves are provided. 
   
   
       13 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein said fins are fixed both to said plate and to said tube. 
   
   
       14 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein said fins present a plurality of recesses, said fins being fixed to said plate, the tube being inserted into said recesses in those regions in which the fins are superposed on the tube. 
   
   
       15 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein said fins present a plurality of recesses, said fins being fixed to said plate, the tube being inserted into said recesses in those regions in which the fins are superposed on the tube. 
   
   
       16 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hinges consist of valves feeding/discharging water to/from the radiator. 
   
   
       17 . A radiator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hinges enable said radiator to be rotated about a horizontal or vertical axis.
