Description
DK 177895 B1
The present invention relates to window lining assembly comprising a window lining composed by a set of lining panels, a lining frame having a number of lining frame pieces, and a plurality of mounting fittings, each mounting fitting including a first leg for connection to a lining frame piece, and 5 a second leg for connection to a lining panel.
When installing windows in a fagade or a roof, it is desirable to make the transition between the window frame and the inner wall of the room of the building smooth and of a pleasant appearance. The transition is most often made up of a so-called window lining having dimensions to span the distance 10 between the inner side of the window frame to the inner wall. In windows installed in a facade, i.e. substantially vertically, the lining is constituted basically of a box-shaped element composed of a set of lining panels comprising two side members, a top member and a bottom member, all being of a substantially rectangular shape and positioned at right angles to the window I S frame. The members are traditionally formed of panels or plates of such materials as plywood, gypsum or chipboard.
in windows mounted In an inclined roof, the geometry of the lining is more complicated. Basically, the side members are positioned at right angles to the window frame, as in facade windows, but the top member is most often 20 virtually horizontal and the bottom member vertical, or the top and bottom assume other angles with the window frame. A number of grounds for this particular design exist, one being that the horizontal top member allows for an increased mftux of light, another that the vertical bottom member makes it possible to access fihe bottom window and optimise the Space of the room.
25 Thus, the top member and the bottom member may form an angle other than 9G° with the window frame, and the side members have a trapezoidal shape.
Once the adaptation of the shape of the set of panels composed by the members of the lining has taken place in any suitable manner, a fining frame is provided and connected to the lining panels to provide a finish. The 30 lining- frame is mounted substantially perpendicularly to the lining panels and has such dimensions that it pratrudes at either side of the end edge of the lining panels to protrude slightly into the aperture on one side and overlaps 2 DK 177895 B1 the inner well at the other. The lining frame is traditionally formed by profile pieces of a suitable material, such as wood, cut to ferm mitred ends joined by corner fittings. As only toe width of the lining frame is predefined (as It corresponds substantially to the window width), it is only possible to provide the top 5 and bottom pieces of the lining frame as prefabricated parts. The side pieces of the lining frame arecuf to toe appropriate length, once the side dimensions are known* and joined to the top and bottom pieces by means of toe Conner fittings. The connection between the lining frame and the lining panels is provided with a number of mounting fittings secured to toe Sining frame pieces 10 and to toe lining panels, for instance one mounting filing at each of toe top and bottom pieces, and two or three mounting fittings at each side piece, depending on the width and length of the lining frame.
In the prior art, a number of solutions have been proposed to facilitate theinstallation of wndow lining assemblies. One example is shown in DE 15 10145 052A1,
In this document, a mounting fitting is devised as formed by a single piece cut out of thin metal sheet arid bent to a substantially T-shaped configuration including one leg forming the abutment with the lining frame piece and another teg to be connected to the corresponding lining panel, The one leg is 20 provided With a reinforcement portion and an aperture for receiving a fastening screw to be introduced into the back side of the lining frame piece. The one leg is formed with such a length that it spans the distance between the side wall portions of the lining frame piece. The other leg is formed to protrude at a distenoe from one edge of the one !eg, and also comprises an aper-25 ture for receiving ^fastening screw to be introduced into the back side oithe lining pane.
Even though this mounting fitting provides for a relatively reliable and well-functioning installation of toe window iining, there is a heed for more flexible manufacturing and mounting possibilities and for even further facil i-30 tated and faii-safe instaliatlon.
With this background it is an object of the invention to provide a window lining assembly, by which the manufacturing and mounting have been 3 DK 177895 B1 mad# more flexible, and which le at the same time easy and uncomplicated to install.
This and further objects are met by a window lining assembly of the kind mentioned in the Introduction, which is forthermore characterized In that 5 each lining frame piece comprises a track formed by a bottom and side walls of the lining frame piece, and of a first and a second flange protruding from a respective opposite side wail, and that the first leg of each mounting fitting has a length extending between a first end and a second end exceeding the distance between the protruding flanges, and a width extending between a 10 first side and a second side not exceeding the distance between the protruding flanges.
In this manner, it is possible to ensure secure engagement between the mounting fitting and the corresponding lining frame piece without toe use of separate fastening means, such as screws. During Installation, the mount-15 ing fitting is placed in the track such that its smaller dimension, i.e. the width, fits well into toe clearing provided by the first and second flanges. Subsequently: toe mounting fitting is simply turned, bringing toe first and second ends of the mounting fitting into engagement .with the respective protruding flanges, in turn, this means that the mounting fitting may be positioned with 20 full flexibility without taking into consideration the formation or presence of any fastening holes along the length of the lining frame piece. As an additional advantage, toe material of the lining frame may be chosen arbitrarily, for instance by such a material In which drilling and fastening of screws is not easy or even feasible.
25 Further embodiments and advantages are set forth in the dependent claims.
