FIG. 1
[0001] The present invention relates to a roof light for a recreational vehicle and a method for producing the same.
[0002] Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.
[0003] In general, such roof lights are used with recreational vehicles like caravans or motorhomes. A based member is attached to an opening of the roof of the recreational vehicle and a window frame is hingewise coupled thereto so that it can be opened and closed. The window frame has a roof light opening with a synthetic glazing being attached to the window frame so as to cover the roof light opening.
[0004] Thus, the base member is stationary in being fixedly attached to the recreational vehicle, and the window frame can in general be moved from a closed positon to an open positon so that the roof light is open. In the closed position, the window frame can be locked so that unintentional opening can be avoided.
[0005] Such roof lights are known from the prior art. A roof light of the applicant belonging to the prior art is commercially available as Dometic Midi Heki. Said roof light has a base member being attached to e.g. a caravan and a window frame with a glazing being glued to the frame. Therefore, the glazing has circumferential protrusion extending about vertical from a side wall of the glazing for the gluing. Thus, the glazing virtually has the shape of a bowl with a surrounding lip. To allow for good sealing and weather stability, the glazing is attached to the frame from the inside, i.e. the circumferential protrusion abuts against an inner side of the frame in the mounted state.
[0006] Although said roof light perfectly suitable for all situations and fits the needs of the users of the recreational vehicle, it is expensive in manufacturing due to the special form of the glazing and cumbersome to assemble. Hence, there is the need to provide for a roof light which is easy to assemble with reduced costs.
[0007] The problem is solved with a roof light according to claim 1 and the method to manufacture a roof light according to claim 17. Preferred embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
[0008] The inventive roof light for a recreational vehicle is characterized over the prior art roof lights in that the window frame comprises a first synthetic support portion extending at least partly circumferential into the roof light opening. The first support portion having at least two first elongated fixing means being spaced from each other, wherein the first glazing rests on the first support portion and is welded to the at least one of the two first elongated fixing means.
[0009] Thus, the manufacturing process is greatly facilitated, as the first glazing rests on the support portion and is welded to at least one of the elongated fixing means by plastic welding procedure. Hence, the rest surface of the first glazing can be a virtually plane surface, which allows for a rather simple first glazing without the need of a circumferential lip or the like. Overall, this greatly reduced the costs of the roof light.
[0010] Preferably, the first glazing has a convex shape as regards the roof light opening. When mounted to the recreational vehicle, the first glazing has about the appearance of a dome. This allows for an overall attractive design of the roof light.
[0011] Preferably, the welding depth of the first glazing is in the range of 40% to 50% of the thickness of the first glazing, preferably in the range of 44% to 48%. This allows for stable fixation of the first glazing via welding. In this regard, it is preferable that the first glazing has a thickness of about 2 mm to 3.5 mm. The welding depth is thus between about 0.8 mm and 1.68 mm, and preferably 1.2 mm for a thickness of 2.7 mm of the first glazing. The at least one first elongated fixing means the first glazing is welded to preferably has a lateral extension of 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm, and most preferably of 3.0 mm, which corresponds to the lateral extension of the welding spot.
[0012] Preferably, a notch is provided between the at least two first elongated fixing means, wherein the notch has a lateral extension being greater than the lateral extension of any one of the at least two first elongated fixing means. This facilitates the welding, as only the first elongated fixing means contact the first glazing. Hence, the welding area is delimited by the notches, which cannot be welded to the first glazing.
[0013] Preferably, the roof light comprises a second synthetic glazing, and the window frame comprises a second synthetic support portion extending at least partly circumferential into the roof light opening, the second support portion having at least two second elongated fixing means spaced from each other. The second glazing rests on the second support portion and is welded to the at least one of the two elongated fixing means. Thus, the similar advantages as for the first glazing are prevailing, even in case one has a double glazing for the roof light.
[0014] Preferably, the second support portion comprises at least one abutment rib being spaced from the at least two second elongated fixing means, wherein the second glazing loosely contacts the second abutment rib. Thus, the second glazing is not welded to the abutment rib, which in turn allows for a stable positioning of the second glazing during the manufacturing of the roof light. Thus, this further allows for a precise welding of the second glazing to at least one of the second elongated fixing means.
[0015] Preferably the second glazing has a planar shape. A planar shaped second glazing is easily to manufacture.
[0016] Preferably, the welding depth of the second glazing is in the range of 40% to 50% of the thickness of the second glazing, preferably in the range of 44% to 48%. This allows for stable fixation of the second glazing via welding. In this regard, it is preferable that the second glazing has a thickness of about 2 mm to 3.5 mm. The welding depth is thus between about 0.8 mm and 1.68 mm, and preferably 1.2 mm for a thickness of 2.5 mm of the second glazing. The at least one second rib the second glazing is welded to preferably has a lateral extension of 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm, and most preferably of 3.0 mm, which corresponds to the lateral extension of the welding spot.
[0017] Preferably, a notch is provided between the at least two second elongated fixing means, wherein the notch has a lateral extension being greater than the lateral extension of any one of the at least two second elongated fixing means. This facilitates the welding, as only the second elongated fixing means contact the second glazing. Hence, the welding area is delimited by the notches, which cannot be welded to the second glazing.
[0018] Preferably, the first glazing is an outside glazing and the second glazing is an inside glazing of the roof light when mounted to the recreational vehicle. Preferably, the window frame has an aeriation opening which connects the space between the first glazing and the second glazing with the environment. Thus, the room between the two glazings is aerated so that accumulation of moisture is prevented. In turn, this inhibits fogging and/ or formation of moisture drops.
[0019] Preferably, the first glazing and/ or the second glazing are welded to the first support portion or second support portion respectively by infrared welding. Infrared welding allows for a highly precise connection between the glazings and the support portions, with a comparatively high welding depth. In addition, templates can be used to locally limit the welding area.
[0020] Preferably, the first support portion and/ or the second support portion is integrally formed with the window frame, wherein the window frame is made of ASA (Acrylnitril-Styrol Acrylat-Copolymer). Thus, the window frame can easily be manufactured by e.g. injection molding and various colors can easily be implemented. Preferably, the first glazing and/ or the second glazing is made of PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylat).
[0021] Preferably, the window frame is injection molded. Thus, the window frame is easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
[0022] Preferably, the window frame comprises secondary structures for hingewise coupling the window frame to the base member and/ or for securing the window frame to the base member, wherein the secondary structures are integrally molded to the window frame. Accordingly, said structures do not need to be coupled to the frame after its manufacturing, but can directly be co- molded during the injection molding process. Thus, the complexity of the manufacturing process is greatly reduced, thus resulting in reduced costs.
[0023] According to the invention, the method for producing an inventive roof light comprises the following steps: Providing the base member; injection molding of the window frame with integral formation of the first support portion; placing first glazing on the first support portion; and infrared welding of first glazing to at least one of the two first elongated fixing means. Preferably, the second support portion is integrally formed with the window frame during injection molding of the window frame, wherein the second glazing is placed on the second support portion and welded to at least one of the two second elongated fixing means before the first glazing is placed on the first support portion. Preferably, secondary structures for hingewise coupling the window frame to the base member and/ or for securing the window frame to the base member are integrally molded to the window frame.
[0024] With the inventive method the identical advantages as mentioned above in terms of the inventive roof light can be achieved.
[0025] Finally, the invention also relates to a recreational vehicle having an inventive roof light.
[0026] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the words "comprise", "comprising", and the like are to be construed in an inclusive sense as opposed to an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is to say, in the sense of "including, but not limited to".
[0027] In the following, a selected embodiment of the invention will be described in referring to the drawings, wherein:
[0028] Fig. 1 a perspective exploded view of the inventive roof light;
[0029] Fig .2 a perspective cross section through the inventive roof light; and
[0030] Fig. 3A to 3C different views of the manufacturing progress of an inventive roof light.
[0031] In Fig. 1 there is shown a perspective exploded view of an inventive roof light 1 with a base member (not shown) and a window frame 2. The window frame defines a roof light opening 3 which is covered by a first glazing 4 and a second glazing 8, wherein the second glazing 8 is locater below the first glazing when the roof light 1 is mounted to the recreational vehicle. The window frame 2 is hingewise coupled to the base member, so that it can be moved between an open position and a closed position. The window frame 2 is an injection molded component composed of ASA (Acrylnitril-Styrol-Acrylat-Copolymer), with secondary structures 14 being directly molded during injection molding of the window frame 2. The secondary structures 14 are elements which are necessary to hingewise mount the window frame 2 to the base member or which are necessary to secure the window frame 2 in the open or closed positon. Thus, said secondary structures may e.g. be structures to which a toggle lever or an axis for a handle are attached to. As said secondary structures 14 are more or less conventional, they will not be described in further detail.
[0032] In addition, a first support portion 5 and a second support portion 9 are integrally molded to the window frame 2. As can be seen in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the first support portion 9 is composed of a circumferential protrusion protruding into the roof light opening 3. The first support portion 9 has two first elongated fixing means 6 which hare arranged virtually parallel and which are separated by a notch 7. In addition, another notch 7 is provided between the outer one of the two first elongated fixing means 6 and the remaining first support portion 5, as can be seen e.g. in Figs. 3A to 3C.
[0033] The outer one of the first elongated fixing means 6 has a lateral extension L1 1. which is smaller than the lateral extension L, of the notches 7. For instance, the lateral extension 1L 1. can be 3.00 mm, wherein the lateral extension L, of the notches 7 is e.g. 3.50 mm. The lateral extension L1 .2 of the inner one of the first elongated fixing means 6 has a lateral extension L1 .2 which is smaller than the lateral extension of the other one of the first elongated fixing means, e.g. 2.00 mm.
[0034] The second support portion 9 is also composed of a circumferential protrusion protruding into the roof light opening 3. The second support portion 9 protrudes from the window frame 2 parallel to the first support portion 5, however, is spaced from the first support portion 5 in the lateral and axial direction (i.e. the second support portion 9 is located "deeper" within the roof light opening 3). The second support portion 9 has two second elongated fixing means 10 which are arranged virtually parallel and which are separated by a notch 12. A further notch 12 is provided between the outer one of the two second elongated fixing means and the remaining second support portion 9, as can be seen in Figs. 3A to 3C.
[0035] The outer one of the second elongated fixing means 10 has a lateral extension L 2 .1 which is smaller than the lateral extension L, of the notches 12. For instance, the lateral extension L 2 .1 can be 3.00 mm, wherein the lateral extension L, of the notches 12 is e.g. 3.50 mm. The lateral extension L2 .2 of the inner one of the second elongated fixing means 10 has a lateral extension L 2 .2 which is smaller than the lateral extension of the other one of the second elongated fixing means, e.g. 2.00 mm.
[0036] Furthermore, several abutment elongated fixing means 11 (cf. Fig. 2) are provided on the portion connecting the first support portion 5 and the second support portion 9. The abutment elongated fixing means 11 are of a triangular shape and extend vertically from the portion connecting the first support portion 5 and the second support portion 9. On the one hand, the abutment elongated fixing means 11 increase the stiffness of the window frame 2. On the other hand, the abutment elongated fixing means 11 are facilitating the positioning of the second glazing 8 during assembly of the roof light 1, as will be explained in more detail below.
[0037] In addition, there is an aeriation opening 13 provided in the portion connecting the first support portion 5 and the second support portion 9, as indicated in Fig. 2. The aeration opening 13 connects the space between the first glazing 4 and the second glazing 8 and the environment, e.g. the interior of the recreational vehicle when the roof light 1 is mounted thereto. The aeration opening 13 allows for a moisture exchange and thus inhibits that moisture is accumulated in the space between the first glazing 4 and the second glazing 8, when the glazings 4, 8 are welded to the window frame 2. The aeration opening 13 can be directly provided during injection molding of the window frame 2 or could be drilled into the respective portion after the window frame 2 has been molded.
[0038] The glazings 4, 8 are both composed of PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylat), wherein the first glazing 4 has a convex shape and a thickness T 4 of e.g. 2.70 mm, wherein the second glazing 8 has planar shape and a thickness T8 of e.g. 2.50 mm.
[0039] To assemble the roof light 1, first of all the different components are provided. After that, the second glazing 8 is placed on the second support portion 9 and rests on the second elongated fixing means 10, as shown in Fig. 3A. In doing so, the abutment elongated fixing means 11 are facilitating the positioning of the second glazing 8, as the second glazing 8 loosely contacts the abutment elongated fixing means 11 when resting on the second support portion 9. After that, the second glazing 8 is welded to the second support portion 9 by infrared welding. Thereby, a welding seam or welding spot W2 is established between the second glazing 8 and the outer one of the two second elongated fixing means 10, as shown in Fig. 3B. The welding spot W2 has a lateral extension Lw2 which is equal to the lateral extension L 2 .1 of the outer one of the two second elongated fixing means 10. The notches 12 delimit the lateral extension of the welding spot sport Lw2 to be equal to the lateral extension L2 .1 of the respective one of the first elongated fixing means 10.
[0040] In addition, the welding depth Tw2 is preferably in the range of 40% to 50% of the thickness T 8 of the second glazing 8. In this embodiment, the welding depth Tw 2 is about 1.20 mm, i.e. about 44%. In this embodiment, the second glazing 8 is welded only to one of the two second elongated fixing means 10. However, the second glazing 8 could also be welded only or additionally to the other one of the two second elongated fixing means 10 or the remaining second support portion 9.
[0041] After the second glazing 8 has been welded to the second support portion 9, the first glazing 4 is placed on the first support portion 5 so as to cover the roof light opening 3, cf. Fig. 3B. After that, the first glazing 4 is welded to the first support portion 5 by infrared welding. Thereby, a welding seam or welding spot W1 is established between the first glazing 4 and the outer one of the two first elongated fixing means 6, cf. Fig. 3C. The welding sport W1 has a lateral extension Lwi which is equal to the lateral extension L 1.1 of the outer one of the two first elongated fixing means 6. The notches 7 delimit the lateral extension of the welding sport Lw to be equal to the lateral extension L 1.1 of the respective one of the first elongated fixing means 6.
[0042] The welding depth Twi is preferably in the range of 40% to 50% of the thickness T 4 of the first glazing 4. In the embodiment shown, the welding depth Twi is about 1.20 mm, i.e. 48%. As shown in Fig. 3C, the first glazing 4 is welded only to one of the first elongated fixing means 6. As a matter of course, the first glazing 4 could also be welded only or additionally to the other one of the first elongated fixing means 6 or the remaining first support portion 5.
[0043] After the first glazing 4 has been welded to the first support portion 5, the remaining elements are conventionally attached to the window frame 2 and in particular to the secondary structures 14. After that, the window frame 2 is hingewise mounted to the base member and to the recreational vehicle.
