Abstract

A heating device, in particular a gas-heating system, including a housing structure and an external housing, the external housing having at least one sidewall and at least one cover, which are able to be fixed in place on the housing structure. The at least one cover is developed to position the at least one sidewall in at least one direction in space relative to the housing structure. A method for mounting a heating device is also described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heating device, comprising:
a housing structure; and
an external housing having at least one sidewall and at least one cover, which are able to be fixed in place on the housing structure, wherein the at least one cover is designed to position the at least one sidewall in at least one direction in space relative to the housing structure,
wherein the at least one cover is configured on the housing structure as a cover flap and is configured to attach to the housing structure via at least one hinge-type connection via hooking the at least one cover into the housing structure from above,
wherein the cover has a first recess in which the front cover is hung, and the front cover includes a second recess configured to allow access to an operating unit of the heating device.

2. The heating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the heating device is a gas-heating system.

3. The heating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of: (i) the housing structure includes at least one guide mechanism, and (ii) the at least one sidewall includes at least one guide element.

4. The heating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the housing structure includes at least one guide mechanism, and the at least one sidewall includes at least one guide element that corresponds to the at least one guide mechanism of the housing structure.

5. The heating device as recited in claim 3 , wherein the at least one sidewall is able to be fixed in place on the housing structure with the aid of the at least one of the at least one guide mechanism and the at least one guide element, by at least one of hanging and insertion.

6. The heating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall has a tab-like projection, and the at least one cover has a lug-type projection that corresponds thereto and which engages with the tab-like projection to position the at least one sidewall.

7. The heating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the external housing has at least two sidewalls, and the at least one cover is designed to position the at least two sidewalls relative to each other.

8. The heating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the external housing has at least one front cover, which is able to be hung on the at least one cover.

9. A method for mounting a heating device, comprising:
a) attaching at least one sidewall to a housing structure; and
b) positioning the at least one sidewall relative to the housing structure by mounting and closing a cover flap to close a cover from above and then flipping the cover closed,
wherein step a) is carried out by at least one of the following method steps:
c) hanging the at least one sidewall into at least one guide mechanism of the housing structure, or
d) inserting the at least one sidewall along at least one guide mechanism of the housing structure, and

e) hooking at least one front cover on or into the at least one cover from above.
