Abstract
The components (7), (8), (9) fastening the collar (1) to the structure intersecting the roof are positive components formed from flat shapes, which by bending along designated edges cause permanent connection of the collar (1) to the flashing components of the structure intersecting the roof.
Description
- The invention concerns a collar sealing the connection of the roofing to the roof window structure, secured with additional components, being fasteners.
- A method of collar assembly is known from previous solutions, in which the bottom member has a plastic mass glued from the bottom, which enables the collar to be glued to the roofing, thus the tightness of the joint is ensured. The assembly of collar starts with placing the bottom member - it is secured to the window frame with small nails or screws. Next a lead apron is fitted to the shape of the roofing. The other members are installed in the order from top to bottom, and every next one partially overlaps the member below. Side members in some solutions may be multipartite, subject to the length of the structure going through the roof. Most often they are secured to window frame sides and to ridge beams. Due to the tightness requirements, auxiliary metal sheet plates are used for securing the collar to ridge beams. The component ending the assembly is the top member, which requires additional fastening. In the existing solutions it is secured directly to the window frame with nails or screws.
- The mere use of nails or screws for securing the subsequent members of the collar is a disadvantage of these solutions. These fasteners, by injuring the continuity of the sealing structure, additionally expose the window structure to adverse weather conditions.
- In addition, the fastening system with nails or screws is very troublesome and labour intensive when two (or more) window sets are installed next to each other. In this case not enough free space between collar members mounted subsequently next to each other is an impediment.
- Also an installation method is known from previous solutions, where window frame shielding components are removed for the time of window mounting in the roof and after installing the collar they are re-installed. In other solutions shields are permanently secured to the window frame, and the collars are put under the shield after they are installed. To ensure sufficiently durable and reliable fastening, the collar must be additionally secured to the window frame or the window frame shield component. To this end either typical nails or screws, or suitably shaped fasteners may be used. However due to the reasons presented above the solution with nails/screws is in many cases troublesome and often impossible, whereas the shaped fasteners may be installed without tools. The said fasteners and their method of preparation and installation are the essence of this invention.
- The objective of the invention is to implement a collar connecting a building structure intersecting the roof, in particular a roof window, to the roofing, which thanks to the solution of securing the collar to the flashing of the roof window with additional fasteners, other than nails or screws, is easy and effective in installation.
- A distinctive feature of the invention are fasteners securing the collar to the window frame, which are mounted by suitable bending along the designated edges. These components may be either separate components suitably prefabricated from a rectangular strip of metal sheet, or suitably shaped integral parts of the window frame flashing in the form of straight strips or the L-shape.
- The advantage of this solution is its simplicity and elimination of fasteners injuring the tightness from the collar securing set. It is particularly suitable in the case of sets with two or more windows next to each other, where mounting of collars between windows to the window frames, due to a short distance between them is difficult if not impossible. Also a substantial streamlining of activities necessary to correct installation of subsequent components of the collar by elimination of fasteners and tools needed for installation of these components, and thus a considerable saving of time and labour is a substantial advantage. An unquestionable advantage of the solution presented is the possibility of multiple assembly and dismantling of collar components when necessary.
- The solution according to the invention is shown in embodiment examples in the drawings, where
fig.1 shows a known collar,fig. 2a -2d - a collar with a separate fastener,fig. 3a - 3d a collar with a fastener being its integral part,fig. 4a - 4d - a collar with an L-shaped fastener. -
Fig 1 . presents the known collar 1, usually comprising four main components: thebottom member 2, two symmetrically located along the roofslope side members 3 and thetop member 4. The applied member names result from their situation on an inclined flat roof slope understood customarily. - The collar 1 according to the invention is presented in the first embodiment example as in the drawings
fig. 2a, fig. 2b, fig. 2c and fig. 2d , where thetop collar member 4 is secured to thewindow frame shield 6 with aseparate fastener 7, advantageously made of the same material as the collar members, which before the installation has the shape of a vertically flattened Z-letter, as in the drawingfig. 2a . - The a side length is selected so that after bending it along the
collar 4 ridge profile, as shown subsequently in drawingsfig. 2c and fig. 2d , the length of the allowance enables it to be easily bent without any tools. - The c side length is selected so that while bent along the
window frame shield 6 ridge profile, as shown in drawingfig. 2c , the length of the allowance enables it to be easily bent without any tools. - The length b of the fastener side is shorter than the length of the edge d of the top collar member, by a value that enables the
fastener 7 to be freely put into the space between the edges of thewindow frame shield 6 and thecollar top component 4, as shown in drawingsfig. 2b, fig. 2c and fig. 2d . - The collar 1 according to the invention presented in the second embodiment example as in the drawings
fig. 3a, fig. 3b and fig. 3c , where the collartop member 4 is secured to the windowframe shield member 6 with afastener 8, which is an integral part of the window frame. The fastener, advantageously made of the same material as the window frame members, which before the collar installation has the shape of aflat strip 8 with sides a' and b', which is shown infig. 3a . The location of a trapezoidal shape with sides c' and d' in the collar is determined by the position of thestrip 8 so as to ensure the possibility of easy bending of the strip by hand around the side c' of the collar top component,fig. 3b . The trapezoidal, advantageously symmetrical shape with an obtuse angle between the sides c' and d' of not less than 91° facilitates positioning of thefastener 8 against the collartop member 4. The strip width, side b', is contained within the limits between the length of the side c' and the length of the base of the trapezoidal cut-out parallel to the side c'. The strip width is advantageously equal or slightly longer than the length of the side c'. On one hand it ensures sufficient strength, rigidity and durability of the joint, on the other hand it enables it to be easily bent by hand at the side c'. The condition of the joint after completing the assembly is shown in drawingsfig. 3c and fig. 3d . - The collar 1 according to the invention presented in the third embodiment example as in the drawings
fig. 4a, fig. 4b, fig. 4c and fig. 4d , where thecollar top member 4 is secured to the windowframe shield member 6 with afastener 9, being its integral part, advantageously made of the same material as the window frame shield members, which before the installation has the shape similar to the L-letter, as in the drawingfig. 4a . The length of the side a" ensures that it can be easily bent by hand around the d" side of thecollar top member 4, presented infig. 4b . The state of the joint after performing this activity is shown infig. 4c . The length of the side b" is selected so that after performing the operation as infig. 4c , a material allowance is left for making the second bend around the side determined by the top ridge of thecollar 4. The state of the joint after making this bend is shown infig. 4d . This securing system ensures full stiffening of the collar and window frame shield connection and complete blockade of the movement of the collar against the window frame.
