The present invention relates to a window or door with integrated shutters and fly nets. Specifically, the window or door is of the type which is prefabricated and assembled into a ready-to-install unit intended for installation in an exterior wall or exterior wall of a building structure.

It is known to provide a window with an external, openable shutter, which often has several different functions depending on the circumstances. Primarily, the shutter serves to shield for direct sunlight and to create ventilation through the window when this is open during periods of very hot weather. At the same time, the shutter is tasked with preventing unauthorized access to the house through the window, ie to act as a burglar protection device.

At other times when you want the most light possible through the window, the shutter can be left open and the window either open or closed.

In the case of a holiday home, both the shutters and windows are typically kept tightly closed during the winter, so that the house is thus best protected against burglary and extremely weather. The shutters are usually formed with horizontal, inclined slats which allow ventilation air to pass. By allowing the slats to overlap to some extent at the same time, the shutters will at the same time prevent the rain from entering the house when the window is standing with the closed shutters and open glass frame.

A window of the kind in question with associated shutters is known from the specification of FR patent 2485613 A1. The window according to this patent comprises a frame intended for fixed installation in a wall opening or similar recess in a building structure, and a window frame hinged in the frame, which is adapted to open by pivotal movement inward into the building. A side hinged shutter is also mounted in the frame, which is positioned opposite the window frame and is arranged to open outwards, ie by a swinging movement opposite the window frame.

However, during hot periods in the summer when the windows are typically open, it is a problem that insects can enter through the shutters into the house, as the distance between the slats does not prevent the insects from passing the shutters. In addition, the ventilation openings between the slats are simply too large. In practice, it has therefore been found that there is a great need to supplement the windows with insect nets, not least for summer houses and rural houses.

Such insect nets are known, inter alia, in the form of grid attachment frames intended for mounting on the exterior or interior side of the window or door, depending on the window or door type. However, for windows and doors of the kind in question, where an openable shutter is mounted on the outside of the window or door, it is not possible to place grid attachment frames of the known type. The reason for this is that the grid attachment frames in question are attached to the frame with window knobs or similar fittings, which prevent the lockable shutter from closing.

An example of a door provided with a grid attachment frame is known from the specification of US Patent 2004/0173324 A1. The door comprises a frame intended for fixed mounting in a wall opening or similar recess in a building structure, and a side hinged door frame, which is adapted to open by pivotal movement inward within the building. On the outside of the frame is also a separate frame with fly net. This grid attachment frame is hinged to the frame in separate hinges for opening inwards into the building by swinging motion in the same direction as the door frame. The grid attachment frame prevents, cf. the comments above, that at the same time a shutter can be mounted on the outside of the door frame in cases where this is needed.

The object of the invention is to provide a window combination which solves the problem of integrating an insect net into a window which already includes an openable window frame and an openable shutter. This task, which in short consists of providing a three-in-one window combination, is solved according to the invention by arranging the window combination as stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The new feature of the invention is that, in addition to the shutter, the window combination comprises a separate frame with the fly net inserted into the frame between the window or door frame, ie with the window or door frame on one side and the shutter on the other. The fly frame is hinged to the frame in separate hinges for opening inwards into the building by swinging motion in the same direction as the window or door frame. The hinges of the fly frame are thus arranged on the inner side of the frame so that the hinges do not prevent the shutter from closing tightly. The window or door frame is an assembled, prefabricated unit that is intended for installation in a building structure.

The window (or door) is distinguished by meeting a variety of needs and functions, depending on how the various elements (the shutter, the fly frame and the window or door frame) are positioned in relation to each other and to the frame. In practice, the following combination options are available with the new window:

a) Closed shutters, closed fly frame and closed window frame.

In this setting, the window is tightly closed for both airflow, sunlight and insects. The closed shutters secure the house against burglary and extremely weather.

b) The monkey shuttered, closed fly frame and closed window frame.

In this position, there will be light through the window and the house will be protected against insects. There is no air passage through the window.

c) Closed shutter and closed fly frame, open window frame.

In this position, an effective ventilation of the house is achieved without the window as such being open. The fly frame prevents the entry of insects, the shutter prevents direct sunlight and at the same time protects against intrusion through the window and against the penetration of rain.

d) Closed shutters, open window frame and open fly frame.

In this position, an effective ventilation of the house is achieved without the window as such being open. The shutter prevents direct sunlight in the house and at the same time protects against burglary through the window.

e) Monkey shutter, open window frame, closed fly frame.

This position is selected when maximum ventilation is desired and at the same time will prevent insects from entering the house through the window.

f) Monkey shutter, open fly frame and open window frame.

This position is used when you will have maximum ventilation through the window for a shorter or longer period. The window also acts as a rescue opening in this position.

As can be seen from the above, all conceivable combinations with regard to ventilation / venting, light incident, direct sunlight shielding, insect protection, burglary protection, etc can be fulfilled with the proposed window combination only by appropriately adjusting the various window elements relative to each other. The window combination is a compact, ready-to-install unit that can be used virtually anywhere in the building, where the properties in question are desirable. Ie for year-round housing, cottages, office buildings, schools, institutional construction, housing construction, etc.

In a preferred embodiment, the window frame / door frame and the fly frame are hinged on the same side of the frame so that the two elements open to the same side relative to the frame. This prevents the window frame / door frame from blocking the fly frame and vice versa when both elements are opened.

In known manner, both the window frame and the fly frame may be provided with elastomeric sealing profiles for close connection to the sealed frame. The frame may in the usual manner be formed with grooves and folds in which the sealing elements concerned are either embedded or abutting when the respective window element is closed. This ensures that the window is completely closed when the window frame is closed.

In the winter months, the genes from insects are often minimal, and the flu fly frame is therefore superfluous. During this period, it is advantageous to remove the fly frame from the window so as to avoid the shadow effect that the fly net does. In this connection, according to the invention, it is convenient to mount the fluenet frame removably in the frame. This can be done according to claim 3, for example, by using hinges of a type which can be quickly and easily, and without the use of tools, can be separated into two parts, where one part remains on the frame and the other part on the fly frame. Mounting and disassembly of the fly frame can then be done in minutes and with a minimum of effort. Other technical solutions that make it possible to mount and dismount the fly frame in an easy and uncomplicated way are of course also conceivable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which 1 shows a window according to the invention in horizontal cross-section,

FIG. 2 shows the same window schematically with the moving elements partly in the closed and partly in the open position,

FIG. 3 shows a window according to the invention from the outside with closed shutters,

FIG. 4 same window shown with open shutters, and

FIG. 5 shows the window shown in vertical section along the line A-A in FIG. Third

In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the window combination consists essentially of a rectangular, fixed frame 1, an exterior shutter 2 inserted therein, an inner window frame 3 also inserted in the frame, and a fly frame 4 inserted between the shutter 2 and the window frame 3.

The shutter 2 is hinged to the frame 1 in the outside hinge bracket 5, and is as shown in Fig. 2 and 4 arranged to open 180 degrees outwards. The window frame 3 is hinged to the frame in the interior hinge bracket 6, and is intended to open inwards in the building, see fig. 2. The fly frame 4 is hinged to the frame in hinge bracket 7 disposed on the inside of the frame and allows the fly frame to open inwardly similar to the window frame 3. All hinge brackets 5, 6 and 7 are located in the same embodiment on the same side of the frame 1.

Shutter 2 is as shown in FIG. 3 and 5 are conventionally formed with a plurality of horizontal, inclined slats 8 tapped into a rectangular frame 2a. The slats are arranged in an overlapping position. In this way, air slots 9 are formed between the slats, which allow a suitable air circulation through the shutter, see fig. 5th

The window frame 3 is provided in the illustrated embodiment with a filling of thermo glass 10. Alternatively, the filling could consist of woodwork or sheet, for example of plywood. The fly frame 4 consists of a rectangular wooden frame 4a into which the fly net 11 is inserted, see fig. 1 and 4. The fly mesh is embedded in a seam 12 in frame 4a and is retained by a rim strip 13. Both the fly frame and the window frame are sealed relative to the frame 1 v Hj of elastomeric sealing profiles of known kind. These need not be explained in more detail here.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described in the drawing. Other material combinations, other retail designs and other constructive solutions for the individual components of the window are conceivable within the scope of the patent claims.
