Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for retrofitting a screening device to a previously mounted, substantially rectangular window, said method comprising the steps of:
  • 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 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.
  • US 5 611 381 A and US 5 000 242 A disclose methods for securing a screening device to a window.
  • WO 2006/074654 A discloses a method for retrofitting a screening device to a window according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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. Thus, the exposure of vulnerable internal parts of the window to penetration of rainwater, humidity etc. from the outside is minimized or completely avoided.
  • 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 attaching 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 comprises a box member for containing 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 movement 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. This provides for an easy and secure mounting of the screening device.
  • 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 securing the attachment means in the glazing bead.
  • a draining channel is provided in said glazing bead after securing said screening device.
  • a channel may be used for draining off rainwater.
  • a screening device not forming part of the invention is disclosed, which screening device may be easily mounted on an existing window, more specifically a roof window, such as to let it follow the movement of the sash between the open and closed positions of the window, minimizing or avoiding the exposure of vulnerable internal parts of the window to intrusion of rainwater, humidity etc. from the outside.
  • a set of parts not forming part of the invention 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:
  • 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 section 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.
  • a set of parts thus makes it possible to secure 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.It 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 equivalently 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.
  • a screening device which is not forming part of the invention and which 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.
  • Said disclosed 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 disclosed, which 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 between a closed and an open position of the window.
