Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a direct heater with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Direct heaters of this type are known, for example, from the catering sector. In the catering sector, these heaters are used as hand dryers to replace towels and save on the otherwise due laundry.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a direct heater so that it can be used for purposes other than drying hands.
  • This object is advantageously achieved by the combination of features of patent claim 1.
  • the direct heater according to the invention is fixed in place, for example in a bathroom. It has the well-known warm air blower and a warm air outlet.
  • the invention now provides that a collecting funnel can be adapted to the hot air outlet.
  • the collecting funnel is in turn connected to a flexible line hose on the side facing away from the heater.
  • the hot air flow emerging from the hot air outlet can be directed away from the device through this hose.
  • Functional parts can be attached to the free end of the air hose which is not connected to the collecting funnel and which are adapted to the respective intended use of the heater. For this purpose, some preferred embodiments of functional parts are specified in the subclaims.
  • the advantage of the invention is that many applications can be met with a direct heater.
  • a bathroom would normally have to have a separate hairdryer and other devices with a hot air blower.
  • the advantage of the invention is that here a single hot air blower, that is, a single direct heater, is sufficient to meet all the required applications.
  • the hot air outlet By designing the hot air outlet according to claim 2, it is possible to steer the flow direction of the hot air flow in any direction.
  • the warm air flow can therefore be directed directly at the person in order to create a cozy feeling of warmth. If necessary, it can also be directed away from the person to only heat up the ambient air. Finally, it is possible to direct the warm air flow towards the hands to allow drying of the hands.
  • an air outlet grill simply combine several vertical and several horizontal slats. All slats can be swiveled around their swivel axis. According to claim 3 it is provided that to close the air outlet grill and thus also the hot air outlet, the horizontally or vertically arranged slats are pivotable so that their guide surfaces are the same to the front of the device. The front of the device and the guide surfaces of the lamellae form a more or less flat surface when the warm air outlet is closed.
  • the collecting funnel closes only a portion of the air outlet grill in the connected state.
  • the unlocked part of the air outlet grill is equipped with slats that can be adjusted independently of the closed area of the air outlet grill. It is thus possible to continue to use the heater as a stationary hand dryer and at the same time to direct part of the warm air flow through the line hose to a point remote from the stationary heater.
  • Claim 5 provides that the collecting funnel completely covers the hot air outlet in the final assembly state in order to introduce the entire hot air flow into the line hose.
  • the entire power of the hot air blower is available in the line hose.
  • Claims 6 to 8 relate to preferred embodiments of the coupling of the collecting funnel to the device housing.
  • Claim 6 relates to a locking fixation of the collecting funnel on the device housing.
  • Claim 7 relates to a screw fixation of the collecting funnel on the housing. This screw fixation is developed according to claim 8 to a bayonet lock.
  • Claims 9 and 10 relate to preferred embodiments of the functional part at the free end of the line hose. According to claim 9, a simple hair dryer nozzle is provided, while according to claim 10 a complex hair dryer brush is connected to the line hose.
  • Claims 11 to 14 relate to preferred embodiments of the device fixation on a wall.
  • Claim 11 relates to a rail fixation of the heater, which is developed according to claim 12 such that the heater is mounted axially displaceably along the holding rail.
  • Such axial displacements are known, for example, as height adjustment in shower heads.
  • the height of the heater can therefore be adapted to the size of the user.
  • the claims 13 and 14 propose measures to prevent that the heater can be rotated on the support rail and can be pivoted into an optically unsightly position. So here it is ensured that the heater is always arranged at the same level with the wall.
  • Claims 15 to 18 relate to additional elements that can be attached to the front of the device. It is proposed, for example, to attach a cosmetic mirror (claim 15).
  • This cosmetic game can have a light strip surrounding it in a ring shape. Furthermore, it is possible to store the cosmetic mirror on a fully gimbal holder, which can be pulled out, as a result of which the cosmetic mirror can be pivoted into any desired functional position.
  • Claim 18 it is further provided to design the mirror so that it can be pivoted about its central longitudinal axis and so a magnifying mirror can be attached to the back of the normal mirror.
  • Claim 18 finally relates to a standard socket for attaching additional electricity consumers. This standard socket can then replace the socket that is occupied by the heater in the bathroom. For example, a razor or an electric toothbrush or irrigator etc. can be connected to the socket in the device.
  • Claims 19 to 22 relate to various control options for the hot air blower. According to claim 19, an adaptive control is provided, which controls the hot air fan completely automatically. Claim 20 proposes the effective outflow cross section for hot air outlet as a reference variable for this purpose, that is, the actual outlet of the hot air stream.
  • Claim 21 alternatively provides for a thermostatic control of the hot air blower.
  • a manual controller can be provided on the heater in order to regulate the fan speed and thus the intensity of the heat flow in different stages.
  • the direct heater 1 is axially displaceably mounted on the holding rail 2 in the vertical direction 3.
  • the heater 1 is consequently attached to the holding rail 2 in the vertical direction 3 so as to be vertically displaceable.
  • the holding rail 2 is in turn fastened with the fittings 4, 4 'to a wall, not shown in the drawing.
  • the heater 1 consists externally of a device housing composed of metal sheets.
  • the device housing consists of the front side 5 of the device, the front side 5 of the device running at the same level as the plane spanned by the vertical direction 3 and the horizontal direction 6.
  • the horizontal direction 6 in turn runs perpendicular to the vertical direction 3.
  • the depth direction 7 runs perpendicular to both the vertical direction 3 and the horizontal direction 6.
  • the device housing also consists of the device cover 8, which is the same as that of the horizontal direction 6 and the depth direction 7 spanned plane.
  • the device housing also has the side walls 9, 9 ', each of which runs the same to the plane spanned by the vertical direction 3 and the depth direction 7.
  • the following elements are arranged on the front side 5 of the device in the direction of view 10 of the front side 5 as follows:
  • the cosmetic mirror 11 is attached to the front of the device 5 at the top right.
  • the cosmetic mirror 11 is enclosed by a circular light strip 12 which surrounds the cosmetic mirror 11 in a ring-like manner.
  • the light strip 12 can either be switched on via a switch or via a brightness sensor and serves to illuminate the mirror background, that is to say to illuminate the mirror image.
  • the standard socket 13 is arranged in the vertical direction 3 below the cosmetic mirror 11.
  • the warm air outlet 14 is arranged on the left in the horizontal direction 6 next to the standard socket 13. in the Warm air outlet 14 is also an air outlet grill. This air outlet grill consists of horizontal fins 15.
  • the horizontal fins 15 have a central longitudinal axis which also acts as a pivot axis and extends in the horizontal direction 6.
  • the slats 15 are thus arranged to be pivotable about the pivot axis extending in the horizontal direction 6. This pivotability serves to control the direction of the air flow emerging from the warm air outlet, which is briefly indicated by the air flow arrows 16 in FIG. 1.
  • the slider 17 is arranged for manual adjustability of the hot air blower.
  • the slider 17 is displaceable in the vertical direction 3.
  • the line hose 18 is delimited laterally by the funnel end 19 and by the free end 20 facing away from the funnel end 18.
  • the hair dryer nozzle 21 is attached to the line hose 18.
  • the hair dryer nozzle 21 facing away from the funnel end 19 of the conduit 18 of the collecting funnel 22 is fixed and captive.
  • the shape of the collecting funnel 22 corresponds to that of the hot air outlet 14.
  • the collecting funnel 22 can be placed on the warm air outlet 14 in the direction of view 10 and completely covers the warm air outlet 14 in the final assembly state. With the collection funnel 22 in place, the entire air flow indicated by the air flow arrows 16 in FIG. 1 reaches the collection funnel 22 leave.
  • the hose holder 23 is provided on the right side wall 9 'of the housing for storing the line hose 18 with the collecting funnel 22 arranged thereon and the hair dryer nozzle 21 also fastened thereon.
  • the U legs of the U cross section form the legs 25, 25 'and the legs 25, 25' interconnecting U-bottom forms the indentation 26 of the rear of the device 24.
