Abstract

A device for the local heat conditioning around a shelf is disclosed including at least a heat conditioning member provided with heating means and with an air moving fan, mounted underneath said shelf through a support structure fixed to the lower surface of said shelf, wherein said heat conditioning member is mounted so that said fan generates an airflow directed substantially horizontally and radially towards the outside of said shelf, said support structure comprises at least fixed sliding means and a fastening shuttle slidingly mounted with respect to said fixed sliding means through releasable constraining means, said at least heat conditioning member being integral with said fastening shuttle, said fastening shuttle furthermore including power supply socket/plug, for supply power to said at least heat conditioning member, apt to be connected to a power supply plug/socket.

1 . A device for the local heat conditioning around a shelf comprising
 at least a heat conditioning member provided with heating means and with an air movement fan, mounted underneath said shelf through a support structure fastened to the lower surface of said shelf, wherein   said heat conditioning member is mounted so that said fan generates an airflow directed substantially horizontally and radially towards the outside of said shelf,   said support structure comprises at least fixed sliding means and a fastening shuttle slidingly mounted with respect to said fixed sliding means through releasable constraining means,   said at least one heat conditioning member being integral with said fastening shuttle,   said fastening shuttle furthermore comprising a power supply socket/plug, for supplying power to said at least one heat conditioning member, apt to be connected to a power supply plug/socket.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said releasable constraining means are in the shape of a rail slidingly engagable with said fixed sliding means in the shape of a rail means. 
     
     
         3 . The device claimed in  1 , wherein said fixed sliding means are a plurality, on which a corresponding plurality of independent heat conditioning members is constrained. 
     
     
         4 . The device as claimed in  1 , wherein there are provided at least two heat conditioning members, said fastening shuttle being being integral with a support plate through a suspension column, said plate being provided with at least two receiving seats of said at least two heat conditioning members. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein said heat conditioning members can be associated with said plate in a releasable manner. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 5 , wherein said heat conditioning members are slidable and pivotable with respect to said seats. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said support structure is configured so that said fixed sliding means or said releasable constraining means can cantilever project from said shelf, so as to expose outside the perimeter of said shelf said releasable constraining means and allow to act manually to fasten/unfasten said fastening shuttle. 
     
     
         8 . The device as claimed in  7 , wherein said fixed sliding means are in the shape of a fixed rail and said releasable constraining means are in the shape of a sliding frame with which said shuttle is coupled through releasable engagement means. 
     
     
         9 . Outdoor catering table, comprising a support shelf and one or more support legs, wherein it is equipped with a device as claimed in  claim 1 .
