Description

Summary:

The invention enables stepless, electric opening and closing of the motorhome window/roof hood from the interior, without the insect screen (3) or the blackout blind (5) having to be opened for this purpose.

The insect screen (3) is tightly connected to the frame (1) on the inside all the way around in its edge area by a circumferential Velcro strip (4).

The above points completely prevent the entry of insects.

The window element consists of a pane (2) that opens outwards, an installation frame (1) that is tightly installed in the vehicle wall (16) or the vehicle roof (18).

An internal insect screen (3) fastened with Velcro (4) and an internal, rollable blackout blind (5).

The window (2), which can be folded outwards, is opened and closed steplessly via the internal, electric buttons (15). The pane can remain in any angular position (opening angle 0 degrees = closed; 90 degrees = maximum open). The insect screen (3) and the blackout blind (5) can remain closed when the pane is moved.

The pane can also be secured with manual, rotating locks (6) when closed or secured with forced ventilation. Here, too, it is not necessary to reach through the plane of the insect screen (3) or the blackout blind (5).

Several window modules can be linked electronically and controlled centrally.
Furthermore, the drives can be coupled with rain and wind sensors so that automatic closing is possible. Operation is also possible via radio.

The window elements can be networked via a control panel, which
opening state. This reduces the risk of driving off with open windows or roof hoods.

designation of the invention

Electrically operated motorhome window / roof hood with insect screen and blackout blind, which allows the window to be opened and closed steplessly when the insect screen is fully closed.

General description of the situation

Motorhome windows / roof hoods are installed as additional windows in camper vans, caravans or mobile homes.

The windows are available in different dimensions. The pane is usually made of plastic and is hinged at the top and can be opened outwards.

The opening angle is fixed by push rods or small gas pressure shock absorbers.

When closed, the pane is fixed to the frame from the interior with rotary levers.

In front of the pane, towards the interior, is the level of the insect screen.

Again, seen from the inside in front of the insect screen, is the blackout blind.

The window can only be opened or closed from the interior if the insect screen and blackout blind are at least partially open.

Changing the opening angle of the pane is often necessary to adjust the interior temperature. This always means opening the insect screen.

In the case of roof hoods in particular, it may be necessary to close the window at night when it starts to rain.

Disadvantages of previous models

The window can only be opened or closed from the interior if the insect screen and blackout blind are at least partially open.

In this phase of the open insect screen, especially in the evening hours, insects such as mosquitoes increasingly penetrate into the interior, since they have already collected on the insect screen in the course of the evening - attracted by the light from the interior lighting.

Insect screens / blackout systems in the mobile home area can either be rolled up or folded. However, especially small mu Cracks or sand fleas, as they are common in southern latitudes, can get into the interior from the side in the area of the guide rails of the blinds in almost all models.

One hundred percent protection against the ingress of insects is not given with commercially available rolling and folding systems.

There is no central operation and monitoring.

State of the art

There are no electric window elements whose panes can be opened or closed from the interior without having to open the insect screen.

There are no electrically operated window / roof hood elements in the mobile home sector that meet the requirements mentioned.

A hundred percent protection against the ingress of insects is not given with commercially available roll-up and folding systems, as there are gaps in the edge areas of the blinds.

There are no linkable systems with central rain, wind and condition monitoring and control.

There are no window elements that can be locked from the inside without having to open the insect screen.

object of the invention

An object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

This task is solved by an electrically operated motorhome window / roof hood, with insect screen and blackout blind (ERFD-IV),
which enables stepless opening and closing of the pane when the insect screen is fully closed.
which offers 100% protection against the ingress of insects.
which can optionally be connected to a central rain, wind and condition monitoring and control system.
which can also be secured with manual, rotating locks when closed or with forced ventilation without having to open the insect screen.

Description of the invention

( 1 , 2 ) The window element consists of a pane (2) that opens outwards, an installation frame (1) that is tightly installed in the vehicle wall (16) or the vehicle roof (18).

• Die nach außen klappbare Scheibe (2) wird über innenliegende, elektrische Taster (15) stufenlos geöffnet und geschlossen. Die Scheibe kann in jeder Winkelposition (Öffnungswinkel 0 Grad = geschlossen; 90 Grad = maximal geöffnet) verbleiben. Das Insektenschutzgitter (3) als auch das Verdunkelungsrollo (5) kann beim Bewegen der Scheibe geschlossen bleiben.

An internal insect screen (3) fastened with Velcro (4) and an internal, rollable blackout blind (5):

• The window (2), which can be folded outwards, is opened and closed steplessly via the internal, electric buttons (15). The pane can remain in any angular position (opening angle 0 degrees = closed; 90 degrees = maximum open). The insect screen (3) and the blackout blind (5) can remain closed when the pane is moved.

When the electric button (15) is actuated, the electric motor (14) sets the drive shafts (12) in motion. Instead of buttons, a rotary switch with a change of direction function and limit switch or a radio system can also be used.

The drive threaded rods (11) are rotated via the rotary deflectors (13).

Depending on the direction of rotation of the drive threaded rods (11), the slides (10) are moved up or down via the thread.

The push rods (9), which are rotatably connected to the slides (10) and the disc (2) via the swivel joints (8), now cause the stepless movement (opening / closing) of the disc (2) according to the position of the slides (10).

When closed (0 degrees) ( 1 ) the disc lies tight against the surrounding seal (7). In the open state, the sliders (10) are in the upper position and the disc (2) is about 85 degrees open. ( 3 )

The pane can also be secured with manual, rotating locks (6) when closed or secured with forced ventilation. The rotating levers (6) have three positions O=open; Z=forced ventilation + fuse; V=Locked. It is not necessary to reach through the plane of the insect screen (3) or the blackout blind (5) to operate it.

In the 2 two locking levers are shown. Depending on the window size, the number can be adjusted. The locks are usually about 30 centimeters apart appropriate. The same applies to the vertical window sides.

The disc element (2) consists of plastic or glass.

The mounting frame (1) is made of plastic or metal.

The disc width is at least 10 centimeters, but no more than 250 centimetres.

The pane height is at least 10 centimetres, but no more than 250 centimetres.

The insect screen and the blackout blind are made of standard fabric material.

The "hook side" of the surrounding Velcro strip (4) is firmly glued to the frame. The insect screen (3) is stretched over this. In the next step, the insect screen is covered with the second part of the Velcro (loop side) to securely fix the insect screen. It is thus held in place in a sandwich structure by the Velcro system on the edge.

The insect screen is available in a wide variety of mesh sizes and can be replaced without tools. In this way, even the smallest insects can be safely prevented from entering.

For cleaning purposes or to replace the insect screen, the second Velcro part and the screen can be removed and reinstalled without tools.

The entire window hood system can be used in a vertical position (wall) or in a horizontal position (roof). When installing in a horizontal position, a roof hood ( 4 ) to use instead of a disc.

Several window modules can be linked electronically and controlled centrally. Furthermore, the drives can be coupled with rain and wind sensors so that they can be closed automatically.

The window elements can be networked via a control panel that displays the opening status. This reduces the risk of driving off with open windows or roof hoods.

character list
