Description

[0074] The invention is described in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments. In the drawings:

[0075] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of two ceiling-mounted radiating profiles to be connected together;

[0076] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of two ceiling-mounted radiating profiles to be connected together with a corner transition piece;

[0077] FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of two ceiling-mounted radiating profiles to be connected together in another embodiment;

[0078] FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of two ceiling-mounted radiating profiles to be connected together according to FIG. 3 with a corner transition piece;

[0079] FIG. 5 shows an exemplary illustration of a cascade circuit of ceiling-mounted radiating profiles with a collector.

[0080] FIG. 1 shows two ceiling-mounted radiating profiles (1, 1) to be connected together. The radiating surfaces (1.n, 1n+1) are arranged in an X-shape around the through-flow pipe (3), wherein here four radiating surfaces are provided. In this variant, two mounting rails (4) arranged vertically opposite one another are provided for positioning the connecting parts (5), and lock and secure the ceiling-mounted radiating profiles (1, 1) when the connection is produced. The core piece (2) has ring/collar/stop/centering elements (2.1) arranged in the middle on both sides. Furthermore, seals (2.2, 2.2) are arranged which guarantee adequate tightness. The mounting rails (4) and the connecting pieces (5) have mechanisms (4.1) in active co-operation which guarantee security against slipping and twisting of the ceiling-mounted radiating profiles (1, 1). Alternatively, it is also possible that the mounting rails (4) can be used as connecting elements for ceiling fixing and/or for mounting additional attachments (lamps). The mounting rails (4) for positioning the connecting parts (5) are here arranged directly radially offset around the circumference of the through-flow pipe (3).

[0081] FIG. 2 shows how two ceiling-mounted radiating profiles (1, 1) are connected together via a corner transition piece (6), wherein the corner transition piece (6) has at least one seal (6.1, 6.2) on both sides, which guarantees adequate tightness, and pipe clamps (7, 7) are provided on both sides of the corner transition piece (6), at which connecting parts (5) are arranged which are suitable for guidance in the mounting rails (4) of the ceiling-mounted radiating profiles (1, 1) to be connected together at a corner.

[0082] The arrangement of the radiating surfaces (1.n, 1.n+1) around the through-flow pipe (3) is possible in all conceivable variants, wherein at least two radiating surfaces are positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically around the through-flow pipe (3). Further variants of the arrangement and formation of the radiating surfaces are shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. As well as an X-shaped arrangement, Y-shaped or star-shaped arrangements of the radiating surfaces around a through-flow pipe are possible, as is the arrangement of flat radiating surfaces (ceiling-mounted panel). The through-flow pipe 3 may also have cross-sectional forms other than circular.

[0083] In the variants shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the mounting rails (4) for positioning of the connecting parts (5) are arranged at the free ends of the radiating surfaces (1.n, 1n+1).

[0084] The ceiling-mounted radiating profiles or elements (1,1) can be fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector (10). A cascade circuit of several ceiling radiating profiles is shown in FIG. 5. Here the profiles are connected via a collector 10.
