Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device for the closure and safety of openings made in roofs and especially in pitched roofs.
  • pivot sash roof windows are known; these windows allow the closure of openings made in roofs, letting the sunlight filter through and, if required, they allow to be opened to ventilate the room.
  • pivot sash roof windows allow the closure of openings made in roofs, letting the sunlight filter through and, if required, they allow to be opened to ventilate the room.
  • Windows with a compass opening for roofs are also known; these windows have a hinge on one side, usually the side facing the top of the roof, and they open by rotating the whole window towards the outside with respect to the hinge.
  • the windows with compass opening do not present the drawback of reducing the living space in the window area, but the particular opening mechanism usually allows only a limited rotation of the window and does not allow a high flow of air inside the room.
  • windows with compass opening which allow a large angle of rotation of the frame with respect to the hinge are particularly difficult to close and for this reason they must be equipped with auxiliary closing systems of a mechanical type, such as special bars that are not comfortable to use, or of an electric type, such as electric motors which are often complex and not very reliable.
  • windows have been proposed that are provided with fixed gratings positioned on the outside of the window itself.
  • the fixed gratings do not allow the window to be opened, or allow it to be opened towards the inside of the room and in this case they do not solve the problems of reducing the living space as described above.
  • the presence of fixed gratings is not welcome to the user, who sees his home transformed into a private prison on account of the presence of the fixed gratings.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to realise a safety device for closing ports or openings made in roof walls, especially in pitched roofs, which guarantees the inviolability of the premises, preventing access through the opening itself.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety device which, once installed, can be concealed from view when necessary and which does not notably reduce the lighting of the room.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety device which allows easy opening of the window for ventilation of the room and which is at the same time simple and economic to produce.
  • a safety device for openings made in roofs characterised in that it comprises at least one panel element, at least two sliding guides fixed to said roof adjacent to said opening and arranged on opposite sides of said panel element, means for engaging said panel element with said sliding guides to allow only the movement of said panel element between a rest position in which it at least partly frees said opening in the roof and a working position in which it intercepts said opening in the roof.
  • the safety device comprises housing means, from which the guides are extended, for at least partially containing said panel element, in its rest position.
  • the safety device also comprises means for blocking the position of the panel element with respect to the opening to be intercepted.
  • the means for blocking the panel element comprise a cross member placed across the two sliding guides and at least one lock for securing the element to the cross member.
  • the panel element comprises at least one metal grating which, once closed, prevents any attempted intrusion while allowing the sunlight to penetrate inside the room and not preventing the opening of the window on which the safety device is fitted.
  • Figure 1 represents a possible embodiment of a safety device 1 for openings made in pitched roofs comprising a panel element 3 and two sliding guides 2 fixed in the wall adjacent to the opening and arranged on opposite sides of said panel element.
  • adjacent to the opening means both an arrangement of the guides in which one is located above and one below the window opening so as to follow the same opening for at least part of its width, that is an arrangement in which the guides are adjacent to the wall above and below the opening, and an arrangement in which the guides are still located one above and one below the opening, but they stop before they reach it, in other words they are adjacent to a side wall of the opening.
  • the two sliding guides 2 are arranged parallel to an horizontal plane, but, without departing from the field of protection of the present invention, they could be arranged parallel to the inclination of the roof, or they could be tilted with respect to this inclination.
  • the safety element 3 represented in this embodiment by a rectangular metal grating, is engaged in a sliding manner, by means of suitable means of engagement 5, to the sliding guides 2 which block any movement of it except the movement between a rest position in which the panel element 3 frees the opening made in the roof and a working position in which it intercepts the opening in the roof.
  • the two sliding guides 2 adapted for movement of the panel element 3 protrude from housing means 4 arranged on the opening in the roof and extend for the whole width of the opening.
  • the housing means are represented by a shell frame 4 which substantially presents a parallelepiped shape open on at least one side and suited for containing the safety element 3 when it is in rest position.
  • the particular shape of the shell frame 4 allows the panel element, represented in this particular embodiment by the grating 3, to slide completely within the shell frame 4, remaining concealed and opening the access to the aperture to be intercepted.
  • the frame 4 and the sliding guides 2 are completely embedded in the roof 20 and are therefore concealed from view. In this way, when the panel element 3 is in rest position inside the frame 4, it is completely concealed.
  • the opening made in the roof 20 on which the device 1 has been installed is in turn closed by a window 13 of the known type, for example with compass opening towards the outside.
  • means of engagement 5 are provided for, suited for engaging the panel element 3 with the sliding guides 2 and for allowing the sliding of the element itself with respect to the opening to be intercepted.
  • these means of engagement 5 are represented, as may be seen in figure 3a, by a threaded pin 6 associated with the panel element 3 and by a rotating element 9 such as a roller, equipped with ball bearings, hinged onto the remaining end of the pin 6 and able to slide in a guide 2.
  • the threaded pin 6 is blocked by a bolt 7 in a special slot of a flange 8 applied on the panel element 3 and supports, in a rotating manner, the sliding roller 9.
  • the means of engagement 5 are represented by a carriage 25 associated with the panel element 3 and provided with two or more rotating elements, such as for example rollers 9', which allow it to slide within the guide 2.
  • the threaded pin 6 which supports the carriage 25 is blocked by a bolt 7' in a special slot on a flange 8' applied to the panel element 3.
  • the panel element 3 presents two pairs of means of engagement 5, each pair being arranged on the opposite sides of the panel element facing the sliding guides 2. In this way the weight of the device 1 is distributed partly on the upper portion of the roof and partly on the lower portion.
  • upper and lower portion of the roof 20 mean the two portions into which the roof 20 is divided by the centre line of the opening to be intercepted.
  • a cross member 10 which gives stability to the structure and at the same time allows the position of the panel element 3 to be blocked with respect to the opening to be intercepted.
  • the panel element 3 presents as blocking means 11 a lock suited for securing the panel element 3 against the cross member 10 in order to close the opening made in the roof 20 and to prevent entrance to the room through the window opening.
  • the device 1 presents automatic means for moving the panel element from its working position to its rest position and vice versa. Automatic means of this type are known in the technique of moving closing elements and are available on the market; these means are not the subject of the present invention and are not illustrated in the enclosed drawings.
  • the panel element here is represented by a metal grating 3 installed in a concealed manner in a pitched roof 20 on an opening or port to be intercepted.
  • the panel element could be any barrier element of any shape made of metal, such as an electrowelded grating or cut-resistant bars, or other materials suitable for the purpose.
  • the safety element 3 may be a grating of extendible type, that is one of those gratings which can be extended to form a panel in working position or folded like a concertina in rest position. In this way it is in fact possible to provide a shell frame 4 with compact dimensions for containing the panel element in rest position.
  • the port or opening in the roof is closed by a window 13 with hinged frame 14 fitted, as shown in figure 2, by means of a pair of bracket supports 15 onto the device 1 to which the invention refers.
  • the preferential embodiment of the present invention allows to safety block the access to the room through the opening made in the roof, but allows the passage of sunlight to light the room and offers the possibility of opening the window 13 with a compass frame 14 or a pivot sash to ventilate the room.
  • the device 1 to which the present invention refers is intended to be applied on a window already existing in the roof.
  • the two sliding guides 2 and the shell frame 4 present a plurality of fixing points to the wall of the roof 20 corresponding to and alongside the port or opening to be intercepted.
  • the device 1 has support brackets 21 corresponding to the guides 2 and the frame 4 and which, when engaged with dowels of a known type, guarantee the installation of the device 1 on the wall.
  • a covering case 22 is provided.
  • the device is provided with a covering element 22 which reproduces the forms of the sliding guides 2, of the frame 4 and of the cross member 10, but which leaves uncovered the port to be intercepted.
  • the covering case 22 is made of finishing material, such as aluminium or fibreglass, and is fixed to the safety device 1 with special support means such as screws 23 and fitting portions.
  • the safety element 3 could be a window 13 able to slide within a shell frame; in that case, since the metal grating is not present, safety against attempted intrusion could be guaranteed by armoured and/or shatterproof glass.
  • two sliding panel elements 3 are foreseen, in particular a grating and a window both sliding independently inside the shell frame.
  • the sliding guides 2 are arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, but they could also be arranged parallel to the inclination of the roof or on the vertical walls of dormer windows.
  • the panel element itself will be connected, by means of a cable and a pulley, to a counterweight.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for use, as described above, on dormer windows where any presence of fixed gratings would make it impossible to open the window.
