Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Dachfenster, insbesondere Schwingflügel-Dachfenster, mit einem Blendrahmen und einem Flügelrahmen, der mittels gelenkig an ihm angeordneten Hilfsrahmenprofilen um eine Schwingachse schwenkbeweglich gelagert ist, wobei sich die Schwingachse horizontal und etwa im mittleren Bereich am Flügelrahmen befindet, und mit einer vorgespannten Federvorrichtung.The invention relates to a roof window, in particular Swing-wing skylight, with a frame and a casement that is articulated to subframe profiles arranged by one Swing axis is pivotally mounted, wherein the oscillation axis is horizontal and approximately in the middle Area located on the casement, and with a preloaded spring device.

Aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 74 16 262 ist ein Dachfenster der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Bei diesem Schwingflügel-Dachfenster ist eine Federvorrichtung vorzusehen, die mit ihrem einen Ende schwenkbar am Blendrahmen befestigt ist und deren anderes Ende an Hilfsrahmenprofilen angreift, die einerseits schwenkbeweglich am Blendrahmen und andererseits schwenkbeweglich am Flügelrahmen gelagert sind. Die Federvorrichtung übt beim Entriegeln des Fensters eine Aufstellkraft auf das jeweilige Hilfsrahmenprofil aus, so daß dies um die Schwenkachse am Blendrahmen verschwenkt wird und auf diese Art und Weise das Verbringen des Flügelrahmens in eine Schwingöffnungsstellung unterstützt.From the German utility model 74 16 262 is a Skylights of the type mentioned are known. at this swing-wing skylight is a spring device to provide that with one end is pivotally attached to the frame and the attacks the other end on subframe profiles that on the one hand swiveling on the frame and on the other hand pivotally mounted on the casement are. The spring device exercises when unlocking of the window a positioning force on the respective Subframe profile, so that this about the pivot axis is pivoted on the frame and on this Way the sash in supports a swing opening position.

Unter Schwingflügel-Dachfenster sind Fenster zu verstehen, deren Blendrahmen in die Dachhaut eingebaut sind und deren Fensterflügel um eine etwa in der Mitte vom Fensterflügel liegende Achse schwingbar sind. Derartige Schwingflügel-Dachfenster haben den Vorteil, daß sie zum Reinigen der Außenseite der Verglasung um die Schwingachse derart weit verschwenkt werden können, daß die Außenglasfläche vom Innenraum her gereinigt werden kann. Die Schwingachse bietet somit nicht nur die Möglichkeit der Belüftungsstellung, sondern ferner auch eine einfache Außenglasreinigung.There are windows under the swing-wing skylight understand whose frame is built into the roof skin are and their window sash by about in the center of the window sash is swingable are. Such swing wing skylights have the advantage of being able to clean the outside the glazing pivoted so far about the swing axis can be that the outer glass surface from Interior can be cleaned. The swing axis not only offers the possibility of Ventilation position, but also a simple one External glass cleaning.

Ferner sind Dachfenster, insbesondere Wohndachfenster, bekannt, die als Klappfenster ausgebildet sind, das heißt, der Fensterflügel ist im Bereich des oberen Blendrahmenquerprofils schwenkbar gelagert. Während bei einem Schwingfenster infolge der schwerpunktnahen Anordnung der Schwingachse beim Öffnen kein wesentliches Drehmoment aufgebracht werden muß, ist bei einem Klappfenster aufgrund des vom Gewicht des Fensterflügels erzeugten Drehmoments eine entsprechend große Kraft für eine Fensteröffnung aufzubringen. Um dies zu vermeiden, weisen die verschiedenen Klappfensterbauformen Federvorrichtungen oder dergleichen auf, die das erzeugte Drehmoment im wesentlichen abfangen. Es sind auch Klappschwingfenster bekannt, die sowohl eine Klappbewegung als auch eine Schwingbewegung des Fensterflügels zulassen. Die hier vorliegende Erfindung befaßt sich mit Schwingfenstern oder aber auch mit Klappschwingfenstern, das heißt, der Flügelrahmen ist um eine etwa in seinem mittigen Bereich liegende Schwingachse beweglich gelagert.Furthermore, roof windows, especially residential roof windows, known, which is designed as a hinged window are, that is, the window sash is in the area of the upper frame cross section pivoted. While with a swing window as a result of arrangement of the swing axis close to the center of gravity Opening no significant torque applied must be, is with a hinged window due to the torque generated by the weight of the window sash a correspondingly large force for a window opening applied. To avoid this have the different hinged window designs spring devices or the like that generated that Essentially intercept torque. There are also hinged swing windows known, both a Folding movement as well as a swinging movement of the Allow sash. The present invention deals with swing windows or else also with hinged swing windows, that is, the casement is about in its central area lying swing axis movably mounted.

Um bei einem Schwingflügel-Dachfenster eine besonders kostengünstige Konstruktion zu erzielen, ist es möglich, den Schwingflügel mit einfach gebremsten Drehlagern auszustatten, die in der Mitte der Seitenholme des Flügelrahmens liegen, so daß der Fensterflügel gewichtsmäßig ausbalanciert ist. Befinden sich jedoch -bei einer anderen Bauformdie Drehlager zwar noch im mittigen Bereich, jedoch nicht genau in der Mitte der Seitenholme des Fensterflügels, so läßt sich bei geöffneten Fenster zwar eine bessere Kopffreiheit realisieren, jedoch ist aufgrund der Gewichtsverteilung nunmehr eine Federvorrichtung erforderlich, die die Öffnungsbewegung unterstützt, so daß das Drehmoment abgefangen wird, das in Richtung der Schließstellung wirkt. Für diese Unterstützung ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 75 14 306 bekannt, am Blendrahmen federvorgespannte Schwenkarme anzuordnen, die an ihren freien Enden Rollen tragen, welche sich am Flügelrahmen abstützen und auf diese Art und Weise den Schwingvorgang unterstützen.To be a special for a swing-wing roof window Achieve inexpensive construction it is possible to brake the wing with simply braked Equip pivot bearings in the middle the side rails of the casement lie so that the window sash is balanced in weight. However, they are in a different design Pivot bearing still in the middle, however not exactly in the middle of the side rails of the window sash, so you can with the window open realize better headroom, however is now due to the weight distribution Spring device required that the opening movement supports so that the torque is intercepted in the direction of the closed position acts. For this support is out of the German utility model 75 14 306 known, on To arrange frame spring-loaded swivel arms, which have roles at their free ends, which are supported on the sash frame and on this Way to support the oscillation process.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Dachfenster anzugeben, das eine alternative Federvorrichtung zum Öffnen und Schließen des Schwingflügels aufweist.The invention has for its object a roof window specify an alternative spring device for opening and closing the swing leaf having.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Federvorrichtung als Schwinghilfe zum Unterstützen eines Schwingvorgangs des Flügelrahmens um die Schwingachse ausgebildet ist und mindestens ein am Flügelrahmen einendig schwenkbeweglich befestigtes Federelement aufweist, dessen anderes erstes Ende als mit dem Blendrahmen zusammenwirkendes, freies Ende ausgebildet ist, das mit einer Aufnahme, insbesondere mit einer Gelenkpfanne, am Blendrahmen zusammenwirkt, wobei in einer ersten, durch Verschwenken um das zweite Ende eingenommenen Schwenkposition des Federelements innerhalb eines bestimmten Schwingwinkelbereichs des Flügelrahmens eine Abstützung des freien Endes (erstes Ende) an der Aufnahme erfolgt und bei einer Vergrößerung des Schwingwinkels das freie Ende von der Aufnahme abhebt. Die erfindungsgemäße Federvorrichtung bildet eine Schwinghilfe, das heißt, sie unterstützt den Schwingvorgang des Flügelrahmens um die Schwingachse, die horizontal verläuft und sich etwa im mittigen Bereich des Flügelrahmens befindet. "Mittiger Bereich" bedeutet im Zuge dieser Anmeldung, daß die Schwingachse nicht am oberen beziehungsweise unteren Querholm angeordnet ist, sondern in einer mittigen Zone, wobei auch außermittige Lagen selbstverständlich mit umfaßt sind. Aufgrund der Funktion als Schwinghilfe liegt gegenüber dem Gegenstand des erwähnten deutschen Gebrauchsmusters 74 16 262 eine ganz andere Konstruktion vor, weil die bekannte Einrichtung den Schwingvorgang des Flügelrahmens nicht unterstützt, sondern die dort vorgesehene Federvorrichtung den Hilfsrahmen ausstellt. Ferner ist das Federelement erfindungsgemäß im Bereich des zweiten Endes schwenkbeweglich am Flügelrahmen gehalten und im Bereich des anderen, ersten Endes innerhalb eines bestimmten Schwingwinkelbereichs -beginnend mit der Schließstellung des Flügelrahmens- in Anlage an der Aufnahme, die vorzugsweise eine Art Gelenkpfanne bildet. Wird der Flügelrahmen über den bestimmten Schwingwinkel hinaus bewegt, so hebt das erste, freie Ende von der Gelenkpfanne ab, so daß also keine Behinderung des Schwingvorgangs entstehen kann.According to the invention, this object is achieved by that the spring device as a rocking aid to support a swinging process of the casement is formed around the oscillation axis and at least a one-sided pivotally attached to the casement Has spring element, the other first end as interacting with the frame, free End is formed with a receptacle, especially with a socket, on the frame cooperates, being in a first, by pivoting pivot position assumed around the second end of the spring element within a certain Swing angle range of the casement one Support the free end (first end) on the Recording takes place and when the Oscillation angle the free end lifts from the receptacle. The spring device according to the invention forms a rocking aid, that is, it supports the Swinging of the casement around the swing axis, which runs horizontally and is approximately in the middle Area of the casement. "Centrally positioned Area "means in the course of this application that the Swing axis not at the upper or lower Querholm is arranged, but in a central Zone, with off-center positions as a matter of course are included. Because of the function as a rocking aid lies opposite the subject of the mentioned German utility model 74 16 262 a completely different construction because of the well-known Set up the swinging process of the casement not supported, but the spring device provided there issues the subframe. Further is the spring element according to the invention in the area of secondly pivotally held on the casement and in the area of the other, first end within of a certain swing angle range - starting with the closed position of the casement - in attachment to the recording, which is preferred forms a kind of socket. Will the casement moved beyond the certain swing angle, so lifts the first free end off the socket, so that there is no interference with the oscillation process can arise.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Federelement als im wesentlichen axial wirkendes Federelement, insbesondere Teleskopfederelement, ausgebildet ist. Die axial wirkende Bauform ermöglicht eine einfache Konstruktion und erfordert nur einen geringen Platzbedarf. Unter einem axial wirkenden Federelement sind sämtliche Konstruktionen zu verstehen, die beim axialen Zusammendrücken eine Gegenkraft entfalten. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, eine Art Zylinder-Kolbeneinheit zu verwenden, wobei der Kolben mittels einer Schraubendruckfeder beaufschlagt ist. Ferner kann als Federelement auch eine Gasdruckfeder zum Einsatz gelangen.According to a development of the invention, that the spring element as substantially axial acting spring element, in particular telescopic spring element, is trained. The axially acting design enables simple construction and requires takes up little space. Under a all constructions are axially acting spring elements to understand the axial compression develop a counterforce. That's the way it is for example possible, a kind of cylinder-piston unit to use, the piston by means of a Helical compression spring is acted upon. Further can also be a gas pressure spring as a spring element Get involved.

Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, daß in einer bestimmten Schwenkposition des Federelements, vorzugsweise innerhalb des bestimmten Schwenkbereichs, das freie Ende neben der Aufnahme liegt, so daß keine Abstützung erfolgt. Durch Einnahme dieser bestimmten Schwenkposition stützt sich das Federelement somit nicht an der Aufnahme ab, so daß das Federelement seine völlig ausgefahrene Endposition einnimmt und auch keine Kraft auf den Flügelrahmen ausübt. Dies hat einen hohen Sicherheitswert bei noch nicht eingebauten Dachfenstern. Von beispielsweise auf der Baustelle abgeladenen Dachfenstern -gemäß dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 75 14 306-geht die Gefahr aus, daß beispielsweise ein mit seiner Außenseite an einer Wand lehnendes Fenster beim Verbringen des Betätigungsgriffs in Öffnungsstellung der Blendrahmen der die Öffnung bewirkenden Person entgegenspringt, was zu Verletzungen führen kann; und ferner wird das Fenster aus dem Gleichgewicht gebracht. Dieses ungewollte Aufspringen kann nur durch aufwendige zusätzliche Einrichtungen, wie Sicherungsbolzen oder Hebelmechanismen, verhindert werden. Beim erfindungsgemäßen Dachfenster tritt diese Gefahr nicht auf, wenn bei der werkseitigen Vormontage die Schwenkposition des jeweiligen Federelements eingenommen wird, in der das freie Ende neben der Aufnahme liegt, da dann keine Kraft zwischen Blendrahmen und Flügelrahmen wirkt. Wird das erfindungsgemäße Fenster in dieser Position eingebaut, so reicht ein einmaliges Öffnen, so daß das freie Ende des Teleskopfederelements durch die Gewichtskraft in seine "normale" Position gelangt, wobei beim nachfolgenden Schließen des Fensters das freie Ende in die Gelenkpfanne eintritt und auf diese Art und Weise quasi ein automatisches Einhängen des Federelements durch einmaliges weites Öffnen des Fensters erfolgt.In particular, it can be provided that in a certain Pivotal position of the spring element, preferably within the specified swivel range, the free end is next to the recording, so that no support is given. By taking this particular The spring element is supported in the pivoting position thus not from the receptacle, so that the spring element its fully extended end position occupies and also no force on the casement exercises. This has a high security value roof windows not yet installed. For example roof windows unloaded at the construction site - according to the German utility model 75 14 306 the danger that, for example, a with its outside leaning against a wall when moving the operating handle to the open position the frame of the opening Person jumps towards it, causing injury can lead; and further the window from the Brought balance. This unwanted jump up can only be achieved through elaborate additional facilities, like safety bolts or lever mechanisms, be prevented. In the roof window according to the invention this danger does not occur if the factory pre-assembly the swivel position of the respective Is taken spring element in which the free end is next to the recording, since then there is none Force acts between the frame and sash. Will the window according to the invention in this position installed, a single opening is enough, so that the free end of the telescopic spring element through the weight comes to its "normal" position, being the next time you close the window the free end enters the socket and in this way almost an automatic one Hook in the spring element with a single wide one The window is opened.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß der Schwenkwinkel des Federelements durch Anschläge begrenzt ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß bei einer Öffnungsbewegung des Flügelrahmens kein unschönes und gegebenenfalls die Sicht beeinträchtigendes Federelement vom Flügelrahmen absteht, sondern daß sich das Federelement etwa schräg über den Querschnittsbereich des Flügelrahmens erstreckt. Auf diese Art und Weise wird auch eine Vorausrichtung garantiert, so daß beim Schließen des Flügelrahmens ein sicheres Eintreten des freien Endes in die Gelenkpfanne erfolgt. It is preferably provided that the pivot angle of the spring element is limited by stops. This has the advantage that with an opening movement the sash is not an unattractive and possibly spring element impairing the view protrudes from the casement, but that the spring element about diagonally across the cross-sectional area of the casement extends. That way pre-alignment is also guaranteed so that safe entry when closing the casement the free end into the socket.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are marked in the subclaims.

Im Zuge dieser Anmeldung wird zumeist nur von einem Federelement gesprochen. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch zwei Federelemente an einem Dachfenster vorgesehen, wobei jeder Längsholm des Flügelrahmens ein derartiges Federelement aufweist. Da die Konstruktion der beiden Federelemente jedoch zur Längsmittelachse des Flügelrahmen identisch ausgebildet ist, soll -der Einfachheit halber- nur ein Federelement beschrieben werden.In the course of this registration, usually only one Spring element spoken. However, are preferred two spring elements are provided on a roof window, each longitudinal spar of the casement is such Has spring element. Because the construction of the two spring elements, however, to the longitudinal central axis the wing frame is identical, should - for the sake of simplicity - only one spring element to be discribed.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein Dachfenster 1 in Seitenansicht, das sich in geöffneter Schwingposition befindet. Das Dachfenster ist als Klapp-Schwingflügel-Dachfenster ausgebildet. Es weist einen Blendrahmen 2 und einen Flügelrahmen 3 auf. Der für den Einbau in eine nicht dargestellte Dachhaut vorgesehene Blendrahmen 2 besitzt zwei parallel zueinander beabstandet verlaufende Längsholme 4 und zwei ebenfalls parallel beabstandet zueinander verlaufende Querholme 5. Entsprechend ist der Flügelrahmen 3 mit zwei parallel beabstandet zueinander verlaufenden Längsholmen 6 sowie zwei parallel beabstandet zueinander verlaufenden Querholmen 7 ausgestattet. Mittels eines Betätigungsgriffs 8, der am unteren Querholm 7 des Flügelrahmens 3 angeordnet ist, läßt sich das Dachfenster 1 manuell betätigen. Den oberen, etwa hälftigen Abschnitten 9 der beiden Längsholme 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 sind Hilfsrahmenprofile 10 zugeordnet, die am Blendrahmen 2 im Bereich des oberen Querholms 5 um eine horizontale Achse 11 und am Flügelrahmen 3 um eine horizontale Achse 12 schwenkbar gelagert sind.1 shows a roof window 1 in side view, which is in the open swing position. The roof window is a hinged-sash roof window educated. It has one Frame 2 and a sash 3. The one for intended installation in a roof skin, not shown Frame 2 has two parallel to each other spaced longitudinal bars 4 and two also parallel spaced apart Cross bars 5. The sash frame is corresponding 3 with two parallel spaced apart longitudinal spars 6 and two parallel spaced-apart transverse bars 7 fitted. By means of an operating handle 8, which is arranged on the lower cross member 7 of the casement 3 is, the roof window 1 can be operated manually. The upper, approximately half sections 9 of the two longitudinal bars 6 of the casement 3 Subframe profiles 10 assigned to the frame 2 in the area of the upper cross member 5 by a horizontal one Axis 11 and on the sash 3 by one horizontal axis 12 are pivotally mounted.

Befindet sich der Flügelrahmen 3 in Schließstellung, so liegen die Hilfsrahmenprofile 10 parallel auf den Längsholmen 6 auf und sind in dieser Position fixiert. Wird der Betätigungsgriff 8 in Klappposition verschwenkt, so bleiben die Hilfsrahmenprofile 10 mit den Längsholmen 6 parallel gekuppelt, und es ist ein Verschwenken des Flügelrahmens 3 um die Achse 11 in Klappstellung möglich. Wird der Betätigungsgriff 8 in Schwingposition verlagert und das Dachfenster 1 geöffnet, so wird die in der Figur 1 gezeichnete Stellung eingenommen. In dieser liegt eine Entkopplung der Hilfsrahmenprofile 10 von den Längsholmen 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 vor, so daß diese um die Achse 12 in Winkelposition zueinander gelangen können, wobei die Hilfsrahmenprofile 10 um die Achse 11 einen Winkel Ó zum Blendrahmen 2 einnehmen und der Flügelrahmen 3 um die Achse 12 relativ zu den Hilfsrahmenprofilen 10 verschwenkt werden kann. Die Achse 12 bildet eine Schwingachse, die es erlaubt, maximal eine etwa 180°-Drehung des Flügelrahmens 3 um die Achse 12 vorzunehmen, wodurch die Außenseite des Flügelrahmens 3 dem Blendrahmen 2 zugekehrt wird, so daß beispielsweise die Außenseite der Verglasung vom Raum her gereinigt werden kann. Zur Führung der Schwingbewegung des Flügelrahmens 3 am Blendrahmen 2 sind Führungszapfen 13 vorgesehen, die an den Längsholmen 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 angeordnet sind und in Längsführungen 14 an den Längsholmen 4 des Blendrahmens 2 eingreifen.If the sash 3 is in the closed position, so the subframe profiles 10 are parallel on the longitudinal spars 6 and are in this position fixed. If the operating handle 8 in the folding position pivoted, so the subframe profiles remain 10 coupled with the longitudinal spars 6 in parallel, and it's a pivoting of the casement 3 possible about the axis 11 in the folding position. Becomes the operating handle 8 is shifted into the oscillating position and the roof window 1 opened, so that in the Figure 1 taken position. In this there is a decoupling of the subframe profiles 10 of the longitudinal spars 6 of the casement 3 before, so that these about the axis 12 in angular position to each other can reach, the subframe profiles 10 around the axis 11 an angle Ó to the frame 2 take and the sash 3 about the axis 12th pivoted relative to the subframe profiles 10 can be. The axis 12 forms an oscillation axis, which allows a maximum of about 180 ° rotation of the Make sash 3 around the axis 12, whereby the outside of the casement 3 the frame 2 is turned so that, for example Outside of the glazing cleaned from the room can be. To guide the swinging movement of the Sash frame 3 on frame 2 are guide pins 13 provided on the longitudinal spars 6 of the Casement 3 are arranged and in longitudinal guides 14 on the longitudinal bars 4 of the frame 2 intervention.

An jedem Längsholm 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 ist schwenkbeweglich um eine Achse 15 eine Federvorrichtung angeordnet, die jeweils als Schwinghilfe 17 ausgebildet ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Federvorrichtung als axial wirkendes Federelement 16, nämlich als Teleskopfederelement 18 ausgestaltet, so daß entgegen einer Rückstellkraft das Bestreben besteht, möglichst eine maximale Länge einzunehmen. Das Teleskopfederelement 18 weist ein Gehäuse 19 auf, in dem sich eine nicht dargestellte Schraubendruckfeder befindet. Vom Gehäuse 19 geht -axialeine feststehende Stützstange 20 aus, die ein freies Ende 21 aufweist, das ein erstes Ende 22 des Federelements 16 bildet. Auf dem der Stützstange 20 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Gehäuses 19 tritt eine bewegliche Kolbenstange 23 aus, die mittels der nicht dargestellten Schraubendruckfeder axial in Austrittsposition vorgespannt ist. Am Ende der Kolbenstange 23 befindet sich ein Kolbenstangenkopf 24, der ein zweites Ende 32 des Federelements 16 bildet, wobei der Kolbenstangenkopf 24 mittels der Achse 15 schwenkbeweglich am zugehörigen Längsholm 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 gelagert ist. Die Kolbenstange 23 kann -axial- in das Gehäuse 19 ein- und ausfedern. Das freie Ende 21 ist vorzugsweise kugelartig verdickt ausgebildet. Es wirkt -in der Schwenkposition gemäß Figur 1- mit einer Abstützung 25 zusammen, die am zugehörigen Längsholm 4 des Blendrahmens 2 angeordnet ist und vorzugsweise eine Gelenkpfanne 26 aufweist, in die das freie Ende 21 eingreift.On each longitudinal spar 6 of the sash 3 is a spring device pivotable about an axis 15 arranged, each as a rocking aid 17 is formed. Preferably, the spring device as an axially acting spring element 16, namely designed as a telescopic spring element 18, so that the effort against a restoring force exists to take a maximum length if possible. The telescopic spring element 18 has a housing 19 in which there is a helical compression spring, not shown located. From the housing 19 goes axially fixed support rod 20, which is a free End 21 has a first end 22 of the spring element 16 forms. On the support rod 20 opposite end of the housing 19 occurs movable piston rod 23, which by means of Helical compression spring, not shown, axially in Exit position is biased. At the end of the piston rod 23 is a piston rod head 24, which has a second end 32 of the spring element 16 forms, the piston rod head 24 by means of Axis 15 can be pivoted on the associated longitudinal spar 6 of the sash 3 is mounted. The piston rod 23 can -axially- in and into the housing 19 rebound. The free end 21 is preferably spherical thickened. It works Pivot position according to Figure 1- with a support 25 together, the associated longitudinal beam 4 of the Frame 2 is arranged and preferably one Joint socket 26 into which the free end 21st intervenes.

Der Figur 3 ist zu entnehmen, daß der Kolbenstangenkopf 24 einen Anschlag 27 aufweist, der als Anschlagfläche 28 ausgebildet ist, welche mit einem Anschlag 29 zusammenwirkt, der am zugehörigen Längsholm 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 befestigt ist und eine Anschlagfläche 30 besitzt. Durch die Anlage der Anschlagflächen 28 und 30 ist -gemäß Figur 3- sichergestellt, daß das Federelement 16 durch die Gravitationskraft nur innerhalb eines bestimmten Schwenkwinkelbereichs um die Achse 15 verschwenken kann, derart, daß die Längsachse des Federelements 16 zur Längsachse des Längsholms 6 des Flügelrahmens 3 maximal einen spitzen Winkel β (Figur 3) einnehmen kann. Auf diese Art und Weise wird verhindert, daß bei geöffnetem Fenster gemäß Figur 1 das Federelement 16 eine Sichtbehinderung darstellt.It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the piston rod head 24 has a stop 27 which acts as a stop surface 28 is formed, which with a Stop 29 interacts, the associated Longitudinal beam 6 of the sash 3 is attached and has a stop surface 30. Through the plant the stop surfaces 28 and 30 is - as shown in Figure 3- ensured that the spring element 16 by the Gravitational force only within a certain Swivel the swivel angle range around the axis 15 can, such that the longitudinal axis of the spring element 16 to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal spar 6 of the casement 3 at most one acute angle β (FIG. 3) can take. This way it is prevented that with the window open according to FIG. 1 the spring element 16 represents a visual impairment.

Die Schnittdarstellung in Figur 4 zeigt das Federelement 16 -das Gehäuse 19 ist hier nicht dargestellt-, das mit seinem an der Kolbenstange 23 als Anschlagfläche 28 ausgebildeten Anschlag 27 mit der Anschlagfläche 30 des Anschlags 29 in einer Weise zusammenwirkt, daß, wie für die Figur 3 beschrieben, eine Verschwenkung des Federelements 16 nur in einem begrenzten Schwenkwinkelbereich möglich ist. Dadurch wird eine Sichtbehinderung durch die Federvorrichtung 16 bei geöffnetem Fenster vermieden. Die der Schwenkbarkeit des Federelements 16 dienende Achse 15 dient zusätzlich -der Einfachheit halber- der Befestigung des Anschlags 29 am Längsholm 6 des Flügelrahmens 3. Wesentlich ist, daß die Konstruktion von Anschlag 29 und/oder Befestigung so ausgelegt ist, daß sich ein eingeschränkter Schwenkwinkelbereich des Federelements 16 ergibt.The sectional view in Figure 4 shows the spring element 16 - the housing 19 is not shown here, that with its on the piston rod 23 formed as a stop surface 28 with stop 27 the stop surface 30 of the stop 29 in one Interacts in such a way that, as described for FIG. 3, a pivoting of the spring element 16 only possible in a limited swivel angle range is. This will obscure vision the spring device 16 avoided with the window open. The pivotability of the spring element 16 serving axis 15 also serves for simplicity for the sake of attaching the stop 29 to the longitudinal spar 6 of the sash 3. It is essential that the Construction of stop 29 and / or attachment is designed so that there is a restricted Swivel angle range of the spring element 16 results.

Es ergibt sich folgende Funktion:The following function results:

Es sei angenommen, daß sich das Dachfenster 1 in geschlossener Stellung befindet. In dieser Stellung ist das Federelement 16 axial zusammengeschoben, das heißt, es befindet sich in vorgespannter Stellung, in der sich das freie Ende 21 an der Abstützung 25 abstützt. Wird der Betätigungsgriff 8 von einer Bedienperson in Schwingposition bewegt, so nimmt das Dachfenster 1 beispielsweise die Position gemäß Figur 1 ein, das heißt, durch die Rückstellkraft des Federelements 16 werden einerseits die Hilfsrahmenprofile 10 in der mit α gekennzeichneten Winkelstellung gemäß Figur 1 gehalten, und ferner wird die Position des Flügelrahmens 3 um die Achse 12 stabilisiert. In der in der Figur 1 gezeigten Position ist das Federelement 16 maximal ausgefahren. Wird nun -von Hand- der Flügelrahmen 3 weiterverschwenkt, so hebt das freie Ende 21 von der eine Abstützung bildenden Aufnahme 25 ab, wie dies in der Figur 2 gezeigt ist. Die Anlage von Anschlagfläche 28 des Kolbenstangenkopfes 24 an der Anlagefläche 30 des Anschlags 29 verhindert, daß in der Position gemäß Figur 2 ein Senkrechtstellen des Federelements 16 eintritt. Wird das Dachfenster 1 wieder geschlossen, so gelangt das freie Ende 21 aufgrund der erwähnten Anschlagposition automatisch in die Aufnahme 25, so daß unter Spannen des Federelements 16 das Dachfenster 1 geschlossen werden kann.It is assumed that the roof window 1 in closed position. In this position the spring element 16 is pushed together axially, that is, it is in the pretensioned position, in which the free end 21 on the support 25 supports. If the operating handle 8 of an operator moves to the swing position, so the roof window 1 takes the position, for example 1, that is, by the restoring force of the spring element 16 are the one hand Subframe profiles 10 in the marked with α Angular position as shown in Figure 1, and further the position of the casement 3 about the axis 12 stabilized. In the shown in Figure 1 Position, the spring element 16 is extended to the maximum. If the sash frame 3 is now pivoted further by hand, so the free end 21 lifts from the a support-forming receptacle 25 from this is shown in Figure 2. The creation of stop surface 28 of the piston rod head 24 on the Contact surface 30 of the stop 29 prevents in the position according to Figure 2 a vertical position of the Spring element 16 occurs. If the roof window 1 closed again, so the free end 21 automatically due to the mentioned stop position in the receptacle 25, so that under tension of the spring element 16 the roof window 1 are closed can.

Die Figur 5 verdeutlicht eine Vormontage-Stellung des Federelements 16. In dieser Vormontage-Stellung weist das freie Ende 21 nicht in Richtung auf den oberen Querholm 5 des Blendrahmens 2, sondern in Richtung auf den unteren Querholm 5. Dies ist dadurch erzielt, daß -mittels geeigneter Ausbildung (nicht dargestellt) des Anschlags 29- die Anschlagfläche 30 derart verlagert ist, daß sie einer Drehbewegung des Kolbenstangenkopfes 24 nicht hindernd im Wege steht. Hierdurch läßt sich somit eine Schwenkbewegung (Pfeil 31 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn oder Pfeil 33 im Uhrzeigersinn in Figur 5) des Federelements 16 realisieren, so daß das freie Ende 21 nicht mit der Aufnahme 25 zusammenwirkt. Auf diese Art und Weise besteht somit im geschlossenen Zustand des Dachfensters 1 keine Federvorspannung zwischen Blendrahmen 2 und Flügelrahmen 3, so daß -im noch nicht montierten Zustand des Dachfensters 1- keine Gefahr besteht, wenn versehentlich der Betätigungsgriff 8 verschwenkt wird. Nach einer anderen, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform ist es auch möglich, daß nicht die in der Figur 5 angedeutete Schwenkbewegung (Pfeil 31) des Federelements 16 zur Erreichung der fabrikseitigen Vormontagestellung durchgeführt wird, sondern daß das freie Ende 21 in Richtung auf den oberen Querholm 5 weist, jedoch nicht in die Gelenkpfanne 26 der Aufnahme 25 eingreift, sondern sich über die Aufnahme 25 erstreckt. Die Federvorrichtung 16 weist in dieser Position ihre maximale Länge auf, wobei zwischen Blendrahmen 2 und Flügelrahmen 3 keine Kräfte wirken und somit ebenfalls eine sichere Vormontageposition erreicht ist.Figure 5 illustrates a pre-assembly position of the spring element 16. In this pre-assembly position the free end 21 does not point towards the upper cross member 5 of the frame 2, but in Direction to the lower cross beam 5. This is because achieved that by means of appropriate training (not shown) of the stop 29- the stop surface 30 is shifted such that it rotates of the piston rod head 24 is not an obstacle stands in the way. This allows a Swivel movement (arrow 31 counterclockwise or Arrow 33 clockwise in Figure 5) of the spring element 16 realize so that the free end 21 does not interact with the receptacle 25. On this way is closed Condition of the roof window 1 no spring preload between frame 2 and sash 3, so that -in the not yet installed condition of the roof window 1- there is no danger if the operating handle is accidentally 8 is pivoted. Another, it is not shown embodiment also possible that not that indicated in Figure 5 Swiveling movement (arrow 31) of the spring element 16 to achieve the factory pre-assembly position is carried out, but that the free End 21 in the direction of the upper cross member 5 points, but not in the socket 26 of the receptacle 25 intervenes, but about the recording 25 extends. The spring device 16 has in this Position their maximum length, with between Frame 2 and sash 3 no forces act and thus also a safe pre-assembly position is reached.

Wie im einzelnen die Konstruktion des Anschlags 29 ausgestaltet sein muß, um die Stellung gemäß Figur 5 des Federelements 16 zu erreichen, bleibt dem Fachmann überlassen, entscheidend ist lediglich, daß -nach Einbau des Fensters- der Anschlag 29 durch Verlagerung und Festlegung der Anschlagfläche 30 derart positioniert wird, daß nur noch der eingeschränkte Schwenkwinkelbereich des Federelements 16 eingenommen werden kann.As in detail the construction of the stop 29 must be designed to the position shown in FIG To reach 5 of the spring element 16 remains Left to the specialist, the only thing that matters is that - after installing the window - the stop 29 by relocating and defining the stop surface 30 is positioned such that only the restricted Swivel angle range of the spring element 16 can be taken.
