Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ventilation hatch comprising a frame to be mounted on the roof or in the facade of a building, the opening of said frame being divided into a plurality of compartments by cross members of substantially U-shaped section having outwardly oriented legs, each compartment being closable by a separate hinged cover and the top edge of each compartment including a resilient, elastic packing coacting with an associated cover, the covers being positioned on the same side of the compartments.
  • a ventilating hatch of this type is known and is marketed by Applicants.
  • the covers are made of a translucent material, e.g. a synthetic plastics material. It is conventional for such covers to be manufactured by extrusion, wherein the top panels of the covers are extruded in one piece with the cover edges that are parallel to the cross members after which the extruded product is cut to the desired length and the cut ends are provided with an edge section to be applied separately and to which studs can be attached for hinging movement of the covers.
  • a drawback of such an extrusion process is that the die is suitable only for one specific width and, moreover, can mostly process not more than one type of synthetic plastics material.
  • a different translucent synthetic plastics material e.g. pvc, macraton, hostalite, plexiglass, etc.
  • a different die is required for each type of material. If one wishes, moreover, to have the possibility of various width dimensions, a different die should also be employed for each width dimension. It is clear that many dies will be required and since the dies are rather expensive, the manufacture of covers of different widths and types of material is quite expensive.
  • stiffeners are to be applied for imparting sufficient stiffness to the synthetic plastics section.
  • These stiffeners may be formed e.g. by manufacturing the cover from two spaced, parallel, opposing plates interconnected by spaced partitions extending transversely to said plates. There is thus produced a box-like construction consisting of a plurality of elongated hollow boxes. When such a box-like construction is to be extruded in one piece with the cover edges moulded integrally therewith, the axes of the hollow boxes will be parallel to the cover edges.
  • U-shaped cross members can serve as a discharge trough but since these are designed in general as narrow as possible, from an aesthetic viewpoint, and for maximizing the ventilating opening, it is possible that the water flowing downwardly along the cover arrives over the cross members into the next compartment.
  • the top panel of each of the covers is a separate slat, and that at least the adjoining edge of the covers extending parallel to a cross member is a profiled longitudinal section including a U-shaped portion, and that to the insides of the legs there are attached strips of flexible material for sealingly clamping the slat to be arranged between the two legs of a U-shaped portion, and that there is integrally moulded with the one leg situated on the outside of the frame, a portion extended relatively to its top face for forming a trough together with the strip of flexible material and with the slat installed.
  • the wall of a clamped slat, together with the associated strip of flexible material forms the one portion, and the extended portion moulded integrally with the one leg forms the other portion of the trough. Due to this specific trough formation, the longitudinal section, and hence the die, remain comparatively simple. The width of the trough may be enlarged, if desired, by bending the extended portion moulded integrally with the one leg outwardly relatively to said leg.
  • the strip of flexible material attached to the side of the one leg is provided with an integral sealing edge projecting beyond the extended integrally moulded portion of said leg, in such a manner that it rests clampingly against the slat installed and against the end of the one leg, the arrangement being such that said sealing edge together with the associated slat and the extended portion moulded integrally with the one leg, not only forms the trough, but also provides for proper water-tightness towards the interior of the longitudinal section.
  • this projecting sealing edge offers a maintenance mechanic the possibility of visually and conveniently inspecting whether said sealing edge still functions properly, i.e. whether or not it is torn, has become brittle or no longer rests properly against the slat.
  • each longitudinal section within its U-shaped portion comprises a ridge disposed on the bottom thereof and serving as a stop for the slat to be clamped, and a discharge trough for discharging any condensate, with one of the walls of said discharge trough being formed by the bottom, and the other wall thereof being formed by the strip of flexible material of the U-shaped portion projecting from one of the legs.
  • the construction according to the present invention enables the installation of many commercially available types of material as slats, such as various types of synthetic plastics slats, whether or not with colour addition, or whether or not provided with the above construction with hollow chambers.
  • the slats may be glass panes, whether or not of reinforced glass or differently coloured.
  • the slat consists of the above box construction with hollow boxes
  • such a slat can be clamped between the longitudinal sections in such a manner, that the axial direction of said boxes points towards the longitudinal sections so that any condensate present in the hollow boxes can be discharged through the discharge troughs.
  • All these kinds of slats can be mounted in a very simple manner, while the water-tightness of the cover made is ensured. Moreover, it has become possible in a simple manner to provide successive covers of a ventilating hatch with different slats, for creating special light effects.
  • the slats are preferably made of glass or wire glass.
  • the present invention additionally provides a highly universal construction which, as regards the choice of the slats, can be adjusted to suit circumstances.
  • the ventilating hatch shown in Fig. 1 comprises a frame 1 mountable on the roof or in the facade of a building.
  • the hatch opening is divided into compartments 5 by a plurality of U-shaped, intermediate members 2,3,4 having outwardly oriented legs, each compartment being surrounded by a separate circumferential frame 6, which frames 6 are spaced apart about the width of the intermediate members.
  • Heat-treated metal or a synthetic plastics material can be used as a material for these frames, or possibly a light metal.
  • each compartment 5 is closable by a cover 7 to be manufactured in a simple manner, one of which is indicated in opened position.
  • Each cover comprises a frame including two parallel, longitudinal sections 8, two parallel transverse sections 9 and a top panel 10 clampable between the longitudinal sections 8 in a manner to be described with reference to Fig. 2.
  • Each cover is provided with pivots 11,12 whose pins are attached to the transverse sections 9.
  • Fig. 2 shows in perspective view how the top panel 10 can be clamped in the longitudinal sections 8.
  • the two longitudinal sections preferably extruded aluminum sections, each consist of a U-shaped portion 16, with strips of flexible material 19,20 being attached removably to the inside of the legs 17,18, either direct or e.g. in suitable rebates 21,22, for sealingly clamping the top panel 10 insertable between the two legs.
  • an extension 27 is moulded integrally with the leg 18 and also a sealing edge 28 projecting beyond the U-shaped portion 16 is moulded integrally with the strip of flexible material 20, which sealing edge is designed so as to clampingly rest against the top panel 10 installed, as well as to sealingly abut against the end of the leg 18 in order to form a trough 29 together with the extension 27.
  • Said trough 29 can be enlarged by bending the extension 27 outwardly, as clearly shows in Fig. 2.
  • the longitudinal sections 8 also include a ridge 24 installed on the bottom 23 of the U-shaped portion 16, said ridge serving as a stop for the top panel 10 to be clamped. Due to the presence of container 21, there is produced between said container and said bottom 23 a discharge trough 25 serving for discharging any condensate.
  • Top face 10 is made of a translucent material, e.g. a synthetic plastics material, consisting in the embodiment shown of a wafer construction having partitions for forming elongated hollow boxes 26. Such constructions are commercially available.
  • the wafer construction or slat 10 is cut to the desired size and is subsequently clamped between the two longitudinal sections 8.
  • the slat 10 is preferably clamped in such a manner that the axial direction of the elongated boxes 25 points in the direction of the bottom 23 of the longitudinal sections, for discharging any condensate present in the boxes through the discharge trough 25.
  • the ridge 24 serves as a stop to ensure there is a connecting channel between discharge trough 25 and the interior of boxes 26.
  • slats of a different type of translucent material e.g. glass or certain types of synthetic plastics materials
  • the constructive design of the slat may differ from that shown, e.g.just a solid panel.
