Abstract

Ceiling-mounted radiating elements for heating or cooling rooms, comprising means for connecting the ceiling-mounted radiating elements together, wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements comprise at least one through-flow pipe for a heating or cooling medium, and radiating surfaces are arranged radially around said pipe, wherein to connect two ceiling-mounted radiating elements (1, 1′), at least one core piece (2) is provided which allows an operationally tight connection of the through-flow pipes (3) of two ceiling-mounted radiating elements (1, 1′) to be connected, and at least one mounting rail (4) for positioning at least one connecting part (5) is provided, which locks and secures the ceiling-mounted radiating elements (1, 1′) when a connection is produced.

Dependent claims

A plurality of ceiling-mounted radiating elements for heating or cooling rooms, comprising means for connecting the ceiling-mounted radiating elements together, wherein each of the ceiling-mounted radiating elements comprises at least one through-flow pipe for a heating or cooling medium, and at least one radiating surface,

means for connecting a first one of the plurality of ceiling-mounted radiating elements with a second one of the plurality of ceiling-mounted radiating elements comprising:
at least one core piece having an operationally tight connection to the through-flow pipes of the first and the second ceiling-mounted radiating elements,
at least one connecting part and at least one mounting rail for positioning the at least one connecting part, wherein the at least one connecting part and the at least one mounting rail lock and secure the first and the second ceiling-mounted radiating elements together.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
