Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in a first aspect, to a method for securing a screening device to a substantially rectangular window, said method comprising the steps of: providing a window, a windowpane being provided in a sash of said window, said windowpane being surrounded on at least its top and lateral sides by a glazing bead; and - providing a screening device comprising a screening body, said screening body being movable from a first, passive to a second, active end position, said screening device further comprising attachment means for attaching said screening device to said window.
  • Many types of prior art screening devices are adapted to be secured on the outwardly facing part of a window, typically a roof window, and may be used for automated and/or manual operation of screening. They may be for screening against light, heat, noise etc.
  • Such screening devices are typically mounted on a rectangular roof window comprising a frame enclosing a sash, the sash enclosing a pane or windowpane.
  • the pane is normally attached to the sash via a U-shaped glazing bead, which surrounds the pane on the upper and lateral sides.
  • the U-shaped glazing bead comprises a flange normal to that leg of the U-shaped cross section of the glazing bead, which is farthest from the windowpane. This short flange extends towards the other of the legs of the U-shaped cross section.
  • the windowpane is embedded in a groove formed by the U-shaped glazing bead and the sash of the window, the U-shaped glazing bead being open in a direction normal to and away from the windowpane.
  • the sash comprises a protruding part, and the U-shaped glazing bead 9 is embedded between the windowpane and the protruding part and abuts the remaining part of the sash.
  • One purpose of the U-shaped glazing bead is to drain off water.
  • the box member or top casing is secured to the top frame member of a roof window.
  • the side rails are secured to side frame members of the window and are interconnected at a bottom frame member by means of a bottom rail. Securing the screening device to the frame of the window makes it difficult to provide sufficient opening space for the window. Often it is only possible to open the window a few centimetres because the sash of the window is pushed against the screening device parts, such as the box member or the side rails.
  • the box member is secured to the top frame member of a side mounted pivoting roof window by means of a hinge connection.
  • the side rails are thus able to pivot with the top casing around the horizontal axis of said hinge connection such that opening the window activates the pivoting movement of the screening device, the bottom parts of the side sash members of the window sliding in the side rails. Since the sash of the window is mounted at its sides and the screening device is pivoting about an axis at the top frame member of the window, the side rails in any open position of the window protrude from the frame in an angle different from the window sash.
  • Yet another solution is to secure the screening device to the sash of the window in order to completely let it follow the movement of the window between its open and its closed position.
  • Such a solution is known in connection with facade windows. Whether secured to the frame or the sash, it is, however, important that the attachment means for securing the screening device to the window in a degree as small as possible involve intrusion of attachment devices, such as nails or screws, into vulnerable parts of the window. Such intrusion may lead to leakages through which water is be able to enter into the woodwork of the window, leading to deterioration or rotting of the wood.
  • This problem is of most significance when securing the screening device to the sash of the window since on the sash most often only vulnerable parts are available for attachment purposes. This is especially the case when retrofitting a screening device on an existing window borne without means intended for attachment of a screening device.
  • the method according to the first aspect of the invention is characterized in that it further comprises the step of attaching said attachment means to said glazing bead.
  • Most existing windows do not comprise suitable means specifically adapted to attachment of a screening device such as to let it follow the movement of the sash between the open and closed positions of the window.
  • screening devices may be easily and reliably mounted on a window by means of the glazing bead, which is already present on a major part of existing windows. This avoids or lessens the need for specifically designed attachment means on the window and intrusion of attachment devices, such as nails or screws, into vulnerable parts of the window such as the woodwork of the sash.
  • Attaching attachment means of the screening device to the glazing bead provides for a function of the mounted screening device, which is equivalent to attaching the screening device directly to the sash of the window such that the screening device is allowed to follow the movement of the sash between the open and closed positions of the window. Because of the pre-existent glazing bead on roof windows, it is very often possible to use this method when retrofitting a screening device, even though the respective window is not manufactured with an eye to such retrofitting.
  • said glazing bead is substantially U-shaped in cross section, one leg of said U-shaped cross section comprising a flange substantially normal to said leg for cooperating with said attachment means when attaching said attachment means to said glazing bead.
  • said attachment means comprise at least one protruding member adapted to fit into said glazing bead in order to be attached to this, said protruding member being embedded in and abutting the internal sides of said glazing bead when at- taching said attachment means to said glazing bead, said protruding member preferably being U-shaped, V-shaped, W-shaped or the like in cross section.
  • the protruding member comprises two legs connected by means of a lower section and, when attached to the glazing bead, said lower section abuts a lower part of said U-shaped glazing bead, one leg of said protruding member abuts said flange of one leg of said glazing bead, and another leg of said protruding member abuts the other leg of said glazing bead.
  • the screening device may comprise a box member for contain- ing said screening body in said first end position in which it is rolled-up, pleated or folded; and at least two side rails for guiding said screening body over said window when moving from said first end position to said second, active end position in which, for the screening of the window, it is extended between a top and a bottom sash member.
  • Said protruding member preferably extends along the longitudinal directions of one of said rails and said box member. More preferably said protruding member corresponds to said glazing bead and is integral with said box member or one of said side rails.
  • said protruding member is attached to said box member, and, when attaching said screening device to said window, said protruding member of said box member is guided into the top or bottom side glazing bead by guiding said protruding member into the glazing bead and turning it into engagement with said flange around an axis parallel to said glazing bead.
  • said (or a further) protruding member is attached to one of said side rails, and said protruding member is attached to the respective side part of the glazing bead by guiding said member into the glazing bead and turning it into engagement with said flange around an axis parallel to said glazing bead and sliding said side rail into engagement with the top box from the bottom side of the window in a move- ment substantially coaxial to a lateral side of said window.
  • said attachment means further comprise two cap elements, said method further comprising the steps of positioning each of said cap elements at the bottom of and against one side rail when attaching said attachment means to said glazing bead for retaining the respective side rail against said window; and securing said cap elements to said sash of said window, preferably by means of screws or the like.
  • said attachment means snap onto said glazing bead by means of resilience of said attachment means and/or said glazing bead.
  • the word "snap" refers to that one or more resilient parts are pushed back during fitting of the attachment means and then click into engagement such as to secure the attachment means.
  • a covering of said window sash is removed prior to securing said screening device to said sash of said window, and said covering is reattached following said securing of said screening device.
  • the covering may be used for further se- curing the attachment means in the glazing bead.
  • said screening device is a blackout curtain.
  • a draining channel is provided in said glazing bead after securing said screening device.
  • a channel may be used for draining off rainwater.
  • the invention provides a set of parts adapted to be assembled to form a screening device secured to a substantially rectangular window comprising a frame and a sash, a windowpane being provided in said sash, said windowpane being surrounded on at least its top and lateral sides by a longitudinally extending glazing bead with a U-shaped cross section, one leg of said U-shaped cross section comprising a flange substantially normal to said leg, said set of parts comprising: a screening body; a box member for being positioned at a top or bottom sash member of said window and for containing said screening body when in a first, passive end position in which it is rolled-up, pleated or folded; and two side rails for guiding said screening body over said window when moving said screening body from said first end position to a second, active end position in which, for the screening of the window, it is extended between said top and bottom sash members of said window; said box member and/or at least one side rail comprising attachment means
  • the set of parts is characterized in that said attachment means comprise at least one protruding member extending in a longitudinal direction of said box member and/or said side rail and having a cross sec- tion adapted to fit into and, cooperating with said flange of said leg of said U-shaped glazing bead, be retained in at least two dimensions by said U-shaped glazing bead of said window such as to retain said screening device in said at least two dimensions.
  • the second aspect of the invention provides similar advantages as described in the above in connection with the first aspect of the invention. Further, it has surprisingly been found that the U-shaped glazing bead, which is present on a major part of existing windows, and the flange of one leg of the glazing bead in coorperation with the lower part of the glazing bead can be used to reliably secure a screening device to a window in both directions in the dimension normal to the plane of the windowpane.
  • the legs of the U-shaped glazing bead can be used to retain the assembled screening device in both directions in the dimension extending radially from the respective window side.
  • the second aspect of the invention thus makes it possible to se- cure an assembled screening device to a window such as to let it follow the movement of the sash between the open and closed positions of the window, avoiding or lessening the need for the introduction of attachment devices, such as nails or screws, in vulnerable parts of the sash.
  • Attaching attachment means of the screening device to the glazing bead thus provides for a function of the mounted screening device, which is equivalent to attaching the screening device directly to the sash of the window such that the screening device is allowed to follow the movement of the sash between the open and closed positions of the window.
  • the exposure of vulnerable internal parts of the window to penetration of rainwater, humidity etc. from the outside is, however, minimized or completely avoided.lt is possible to apply the screening device according to the invention to a large number of existing windows, many of which are not manufactured with an eye to possible retrofitting of screening devices.
  • a height of two legs of said U-shaped cross section of said U-shaped glazing bead is about 12 mm and the distance between said legs is about 16 mm, said flange of one of said legs extending approximately 2-4 mm essentially towards the other of said legs, the thickness of said glazing bead in cross section preferably being about 1 mm.
  • said at least one protruding member is U-shaped, V-shaped or W-shaped or the like in cross section.
  • said at least one protruding member is U-shaped in cross section with a height of two legs of said U-shaped cross section of about 10 mm and the distance between said legs being about 14 mm, the thickness of said protruding member in cross section preferably being about 1 mm.
  • said protruding member is provided on said box member, preferably said protruding member is integral with and extends along substantially a complete longitudinal extent of said box member.
  • said protruding member is provided on one of said side rails, preferably said protruding member is integral with and extends along substantially a complete longitudinal extent of said side rail.
  • a further protruding member is preferably equiva- lently provided on the other of said side rails, preferably said further protruding member is integral with and extends along substantially a complete longitudinal extent of said other side rail.
  • the screening device further comprises at least two cap elements for retaining said side rails against said window in the secured position of the screening device, said cap elements being adapted to be secured to said sash of said window, preferably by means of screws or the like.
  • said screening device is a blackout curtain.
  • the screening device further comprises a bottom rod connected to a terminal end of said screening body, said bottom rod being connected to a resilient plate member extending, in the secured position of said screening device, in a direction towards said window for screening off a distance between said screening body and said window.
  • the screening device further comprises a bottom rail adapted to be secured to said side rails at the top or bottom sash member opposite said box member.
  • At least one side part glazing bead and said side attachment means are at least partly covered by a covering extending in a longitudinal direction of said side rails.
  • a draining channel is provided in said attachment means attached to said glazing bead.
  • said screening device is mounted on said sash of said window such as to follow a movement of said sash be- tween a closed and an open position of the window.
  • the invention in a third aspect relates to use of a glazing bead of a substantially rectangular window for attachment of a screening device, said window comprising a frame and a sash, a windowpane being provided in said sash, said windowpane being surrounded on at least its top and lateral sides by said glazing bead, said glazing bead extending longitudinally along the respective sides of said window.

  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a screening device 1 according to the second aspect of the invention.
  • the screening device 1 shown is a blackout curtain, which is shown in a non-mounted position in Fig. 1.
  • the screening device 1 comprises a screening body 2 in the form of a substantially opaque cloth which at its upper end is connected to a roller (not visible), the roller constituting a reception means for the screening body 2 and being mounted in a box member in the form of top casing 4.
  • the top casing 4 thus contains the screening body 2 in a first end posi- tion in which it is rolled up on the roller.

  • the attachment ribs 7, 8 form integral parts of the top casing 4 and the side rails 3a, 3b, respectively.
  • the top casing 4 further comprises engagement means (not shown) for engaging the side rails 3a, 3b when mounting the screening device.
  • Fig. 2 the screening device of Fig. 1 is shown mounted on the outwards facing side of a conventional rectangular center-pivoted roof window 30 with a frame 31 and a sash 32 (cf. Fig. 3).
  • the top casing 4 is positioned abutting the top sash member of the window 30.
  • the screening body 2 is movable in a longitudinal direction of the window 30 parallel to the plane of the window 30 between the first end position in which it occupies a rolled-up position at the top sash or frame member of the window 30 and a second, active end position in which, for the screening of the window 30, it is extended between the top and bottom sash or frame members, substantially covering a windowpane 6 of the window 30.

  • FIG. 5 shows a W-shaped protruding member 8a.
  • two legs of the protruding member 8a are connected by means of a lower section and, when attached to the glazing bead, the lower section abuts a lower part of the U-shaped glazing bead 9.
  • One leg of the protruding member 8a abuts the flange 9a
  • another leg of the protruding member 8a abuts the other leg of the glazing bead 9.
  • the protruding member comprises at least two legs and a connecting piece for connecting the two legs.
  • the protruding members of the attachment means may, however, as a not shown alternative, each be in the form of one solid member, which is e.g. box-shaped or triangular. Other alternative shapes of the protruding member may be thought of by the skilled per- son, such alternative shapes falling within the scope of the attached claims.
  • a protruding member of any of the top box and the two side rails does not necessarily extend in essentially the entire longitudinal direction of the respective element; it may extend only in some part of the length of the element, e.g. half the length.
  • more than one protruding member may be present on each of the said elements, e.g. one protruding member positioned at one end of the longitudinal direction of the respective element (i.e. top box or side rail) and another similar element positioned at the other end.
  • three, four or even more protruding members may be present within the scope of the invention and these may be distributed in any suitable pattern along each respective element.
  • one or more discrete elements providing one or more such flanges may be attached to the U-shaped glazing bead such as to provide the said flange.
  • Such an element may be secured to the glazing bead for example by means of screws already present in the glazing bead for attaching the glazing bead to the window.
  • the said flange therefore, is not necessarily integral with the glazing bead, and the flange does not necessarily extend along the entire longitudinal direction of the respective top box or side rail. More flanges may be provided on the same top box or side rail, these being distributed in any suitable pattern along the respective glazing bead part.
