Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device of a box shape for the protection and safety of appliances, particularly for the external exchange units in air conditioning systems hanging on the wall of buildings or resting on the floor or other support surface.
  • a first drawback of these appliances lies however in the fact that, to be mounted, the pre-existing unit fixed to the wall must be disassembled and removed.
  • a further drawback lies in the fact that to produce and install these grille boxes, many screws and nuts are required to fix the various elements together.
  • a grille box according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document US 6 430 954 B1 .
  • One object of this invention is the protection of the external units from vandalism and/or theft, as well as from direct exposure to the sun and, particularly in Northern European countries, from bad weather, overcoming the drawbacks of the known art.
  • a further object of this invention is to develop a masking system for external units located on the walls of private homes or in public places.
  • a further object of this invention is to develop a grille box which is simple to produce.
  • a further object of this invention is to obtain a system that is easy and quick to assemble which does not require the prior disassembly of the external unit fixed to the wall.
  • a further object of this invention is to produce an appliance in resistant material that is easy to process and relatively cheap.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a grille box in a range of sizes in order to be adapted to the various types of external unit present on the market, and which can be made to measure following the specifications provided by the user.
  • a further object of this invention is to make available a grille box which can be mounted on both newly installed and pre-existing appliances.
  • a further object of this invention is to obtain an appliance that covers external units fixed to the wall as well as those resting on the floor or on other support surfaces.
  • a grille box 1 is illustrated for the protection of appliances, particularly for external exchange units of air conditioning systems, according to this invention.
  • a grille box 1 is represented for appliances fixed outdoor to a wall, while figure 6 shows a grille box 1 for appliances resting on the floor P or other support surface.
  • the grille box 1 comprises a frame 2 of a substantially parallelogram shape, which is fixed to the wall.
  • Said frame 2 as illustrated in figure 2 , can be composed of three fixed sides 18 joined together and a removable crosspiece 3 which constitutes the fourth side of the frame and assures the passage of the pipes of the external units during the assembly of the box 1.
  • the removable crosspiece 3 is in the shape of a section profile with a C-shaped transversal section which defines a central face 20 and side wings 13 which are perpendicular to the central face 20.
  • the three fixed sides 18 of the frame 2 have a central face 20', an internal side wing 13' and an external edge with an S-shaped section 19'.
  • the three fixed sides 18 and the crosspiece 3 of the frame 2, along their central face 20' and 20 respectively, have holes 7' and 7 inside which fixing means are inserted which are used to lock the frame 2 and the crosspiece 3 against the wall of the building.
  • the crosspiece 3 has, on the central face 20, shaped openings 10, in this case rectangular, intended to receive corresponding interlocking hooks 8', in the form of L-shaped protrusions, which are placed by the free ends 9 of the frame 2.
  • the box 1 also comprises panels making up the side panels 4 which can be grilles, at least one front panel 5 which can also be a grille and at least one panel which constitutes a lower and/or upper base 6.
  • the side panels 4 have an upper edge 21 which is folded inwards to form a U-shaped section, a lower L-shaped edge 13", an external side edge 14 having a U-shaped section to which a further wing 22 is added perpendicular to the side panel 4 and on which threaded openings 23 and an internal L-shaped side edge 13" are placed, from which the interlocking hooks 8" are obtained, in this case in the form of bayonet couplings.
  • openings 10' are obtained, in this case slot shaped, intended to receive the corresponding interlocking hooks 8", in the form of bayonet couplings, of the side panels 4.
  • At least one upper panel 6 is mounted.
  • the upper panel 6 has, in the rear part, a wing 13"' from which interlocking hooks 8"' have been obtained, which may have the form of bayonet couplings and which slot into the corresponding openings 10', which may have the shape of slots, present in the most internal part 24 of the S-shaped section 19' of the upper edge 25 of the frame 2.
  • the upper panel 6 has, at the front, at least one pair of holes 7"', corresponding to the threaded openings 23 placed on the front of the edge 21 with U section of the side panels 4.
  • the front panel 5 of box 1 also has holes 7", corresponding to threaded openings 23 obtained in a further wing 22 present on the side edge 14 and perpendicular to the side panel 4, which allow the passage of fixing elements 15 which may have the form of screws and/or other commonly used means for such purpose in order to be able to fix and close the protective grille box 1.
  • a lower base (not shown in the figures) may or may not be present according to the needs of the user.
  • the interlocking hooks 8', 8'', 8'" may have a protruding, L-shaped, bayonet coupling conformation, or any further conformation used on the market and appropriate to be used with the box 1.
  • the corresponding openings 10, 10' may be indentations, slots, openings of various shapes and styles that are suitable for receiving the aforementioned hooking means 8', 8", 8"'.
  • edges of the side panel 4 and of the other elements of the box 1, where not necessarily demanded by the type of box 1 and its assembly, may have different sections and shapes, all falling within the field of protection of this invention. These edges form areas of contact and support for the various elements which offer greater stability and protection for the box 1.
  • At least one of the side panels 4, the front panel 5 and the upper panel 6 can be made up of more than one panel (not shown in the figures).
  • the upper panel 6 can be of a flat or undulated conformation, or have any other type of conformation, or be mounted horizontally or sloping to allow the drainage of atmospheric elements, and may also be a grille.
  • side panels 4 and the front panel 5 can be grilles, mesh or with various designs and shapes according to the needs of the user.
  • Figure 6 shows a version of the grille box 1 for external units and appliances positioned on a floor P or other support surfaces. It can be seen how the elements of the box 1 and the assembly system are basically the same, and present only modifications to the shape and orientation in order to adapt to the various types of appliance to be protected. In particular it can be seen how the structure of the removable crosspiece 17 is different, having an S-shaped section 19 on one edge which was not present on the crosspiece 3.
  • the fixing means 15 can be visible or hidden by cover hole plugs 16 in plastic or other materials to prevent deterioration caused, e.g. by atmospheric elements.
  • the structure of the box 1 can be composed of slabs of metal materials, which are resistant and easily processed, as well as being relatively cheap, such as steel sheet or the like, which can be appropriately bent and shaped at the edges.
