  "abstract": "An improved system for Mounting Heating Panels on to a wall without drilling holes on the wall, including at least one grooved vertical member to maintain a predetermined gap between a wall and a heating panel, the gap allowing natural convection of currents for heat transfer; a plurality of slots provided on an upper portion of the vertical member enabling insertion of the heating panel; a plurality of spacers fixed on the wall using adhesive; wherein the top portion of the panel has at least two fixing holes, and wherein the vertical stand and the upper portion of the panel are fixed to the wall via said plurality of spacers.",
  "claims": [
    "1. An improved system for mounting heating panels on to a wall, comprising: at least one grooved vertical member configured to maintain a predetermined gap between the wall and the heating panels, the at least one grooved vertical member including an upper portion configured to be in contact with the wall and a lower portion configured to be in contact with a floor, the predetermined gap allowing natural convection of currents for heat transfer; at least two grooves provided on the upper portion of the vertical member enabling insertion of a respective one of the heating panels; and a plurality of spacers configured to be fixed on the wall using adhesive pads; wherein a top portion of each of the heating panels has at least two fixing holes, wherein the spacers are configured to fix the top portion of the respective one of the heating panels to the wall to support the heating panels on to the wall without drilling holes on the wall, and without the use of tools, wherein at least two of said plurality of spacers, which are affixed on outer sides of the heating panels, are provided with tapped holes to receive a screw configured to clamp the spacers on the top portion of the respective one of the heating panels, and wherein the spacers are provided as separate components from the grooved vertical member.",
    "2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein no hand tools or drilling are required to fix the improved system.",
    "3. An improved system for mounting a heating panel on to a wall, comprising: at least one grooved vertical member configured to maintain a predetermined gap between the wall and the heating panel, the at least one grooved vertical member including an upper portion configured to be in contact with the wall and a lower portion configured to be in contact with a floor, the predetermined gap allowing natural convection of currents for heat transfer; at least one groove provided on the upper portion of the vertical member enabling insertion of the heating panel, the at least one groove of the at least one grooved vertical member being substantially centered along a central vertical axis of the at least one grooved vertical member; and a plurality of spacers configured to be fixed on the wall using adhesive pads; wherein a top portion of the heating panel has at least two fixing holes, wherein the spacers are configured to fix the top portion of the heating panel to the wall to support the heating panel on to the wall without drilling holes on the wall, and without the use of tools, wherein at least two of said plurality of spacers, which are affixed on outer sides of the heating panel, are provided with tapped holes to receive a screw configured to clamp the spacers on the top portion of the heating panel, and wherein the spacers are provided as separate components from the grooved vertical member."

  "description_excerpt": "The present invention relates to a novel method to install a Wall Mounted Heating Panel. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved system for mounting heating panels on a wall without any need for drilling holes in the walls or partitions or use of any tool.\n\nWall Mounted Heating Panels are covered by specifications of International Electrical Common Standards of 60335-1:2001+A1 along with 60335-2-30:2002+A1. It is also covered by UL 2021, issue: 1997 Apr. 16 Ed: 2 Rev: 2006 Jan. 17 as Fixed and Location-Dedicated Electric Room Heaters.\n\nAn efficient operation of such panels warrants that the Panels are mounted on to a wall or partition, leaving a predetermined gap between the wall and the Electrical Panel ranging typically from 20 mm to 50 mm.\n\nThe principle behind such typical mounting of the Panels is that the air between the Panel and the wall gets heated and a lowered density of air flows upwards and colder air takes its place. Thus natural convection of currents for heat transfer are formed.\n\nOne of the requirements of mounting is that the Panel should withstand a weight of 300 lbs on panel (UL 2021, issue: 1997 Apr. 16 Ed: 2 Rev: 2006 Jan. 17).\n\nIt is also required that by the help of screw driver it should not be possible to alter the space between wall and Panel.\n\nThere are installations for example, heaters that are movable and not fixed to wall. Electrical Heating Panels, in particular Wall Mounted Heating Panels are invariably mounted on to the wall by drilling holes at intervals specified by the manufacturer.",
