Definitions

  • This invention concerns improvements in and relating to window screens or blinds, especially but not exclusively, to window screens or blinds suitable for installation in conservatories.
  • Window blinds are commonly installed in conservatory roofs to provide a heat and light barrier. Such blinds are usually of pleated fabric that slide along cords fixed usually between top and bottom frame members of the roof. Fitting of window blinds to a conservatory roof can be difficult, firstly because of having to retrofit attachment means for ends of the cords, and secondly because many conservatory roofs have triangular panel sections where upper attachment of the cords has to be to side frame members.
  • Window blinds are, of course, also fitted to conventional windows. Different types of blinds are available, such as roller blinds and "Venetian blinds".
  • a common problem with window and conservatory roof blinds is that gaps may be present between the edges of the blinds and the window frames between which they are mounted allowing light to penetrate, which can be irritating to persons close to the windows who may be dazzled by the light. Furthermore, penetration of light may cause damage, such as discolouration, over a period of weeks, months or years to soft furnishings.
  • the protective coverings comprise a fiber reinforced polymeric fabric that is flexible enough to be rolled upon itself.
  • US4995440A describes a rolling shutter for wall or roof openings, especially in connection with a turnable roof window, which comprises a rolling shutter web composed of a plurality of rolling shutter elements pullable from one another for forming light gaps, a rolling shutter shaft for winding and unwinding of the rolling shutter web, supports for rotatably supporting the rolling shutter web, two parallel side walls connected with the supports for guiding lateral ends of the rolling shutter webs, an actuating device having a mechanism for an opening movement of the rolling shutter web and a pulling device engaging a free front end of the rolling shutter web and supporting or performing its closing movement, the rolling shutter elements including a front rolling shutter element and a rear rolling shutter element, a pulling rope connecting the front rolling shutter element and the rear shutter element, the pulling rope being fixedly connected with the rear rolling shutter element and being connected with the front rolling shutter element by means of a spring provided for closing of the light gaps, the spring having a force selected so that during starting an opening movement of the rolling shutter web at least the light gaps located between the front and rear rolling shutter elements are
  • US4691753A discloses a roll shutter for hinged casement type roof windows, which includes two guide rails for the roll shutter bars, which guide rails run parallel to each other and are connected to the shutter and is provided with a roll shutter activation device which includes a first and a second control cable as well as a third control cable.
  • the first and the second control cables are led to a connection point and are attached to each other.
  • the connection point is also connected with the third control cable which is guided from a spool on the winding shaft of the roll shutter, through an activation loop accessible to the user and an adjoining buffer loop to the connection point.
  • the length of the buffer loop is at least as large as the displacement path of the roll shutter between its completely open and completely closed positions.
  • An object of this invention is to provide an improved window blind or screen system suitable for use with conservatory roof windows.
  • a conservatory roof window assembly comprising a pair of window side frame members supporting glazing panels therebetween, wherein each side frame member has a facing longitudinal slot receiving one side of a screen, the screen comprising a pair of spaced apart side members having screen material secured therebetween and means for tensioning the screen material, characterized in that: (i) said window side frame members are in the form of glazing bars that support glazing panels between them and that have slot-forming members mounted thereon, (ii) said slot-forming members are mounted (a) internally or (b) externally of a window, and (iii) when said slot-forming members are mounted (a) internally of a window, the glazing bar or cladding thereon has a channel receiving slidingly a slot-forming member, wherein the slot-forming member is of T-section and the free end of the stem thereof is slidably retained in said channel, or when said slot-forming members are mounted (b) externally of a window, the head of the glazing bar or a cap therefor has attachments means in the form
  • the slot for receiving one side of a screen may thereby be provided between the glazing bar cross bar or its cladding and the cross bar of the T-section slot forming member.
  • the slot for receiving one side of a screen may thereby be provided between the glazing bar head or capping and the cross bar of the T-section slot forming member.
  • a conservatory roof window glazed panel may have at least two screens, whereby additional light may be admitted by sliding one or other of the screens to overlap them.
  • the glazing bars may be of T-section having a cross bar and a stem, and wherein the cladding may have top edges that overlie top edges of the cross bar.
  • the cladding may have a base with a longitudinal slot therein with recessed sides to receive the slot forming member.
  • the free end of the stem of the slot forming member may have resiliently deformable sides with notches, whereby the end of the stem is locatable in the slot of the cladding.
  • the cap may have a top and divergent sides. Further preferably, the cap may be twin-walled with webs connecting the walls.
  • the tensioning means may be provided as a component of the screen.
  • the means for tensioning the screen material is preferably at least one substantially rigid but resiliently deformable member.
  • the use of tensioning means is primarily intended to allow the screen to be easily fitted and removed from a window assembly by drawing the side frame members towards each other. Also the tensioning means will help to retain a generally flat shape for a screen.
  • Screens supported by side members may have solid or hollow side members.
  • Preferably such screen side members are of hollow rectangular section.
  • Substantially rigid but resiliently deformable members suitable for screens or blinds used in the invention are preferably provided in pairs, one at each end of a screen.
  • the preferred members are rods of fibre glass. Alternatively spring-loaded telescopic rods may be used.
  • Screens or blinds may be stretched across windows to tension them.
  • the screen material is preferably of fabric, although other materials may be used, such as a slatted material, e.g. wooden slats. Pinoleum (wooden slats woven together to form a screen) is a possibility for the screen material.
  • Fabric screen materials and the like may be provided as a single layer with its ends wrapped around the side members and secured to itself or fixed or adhered to the side member in any other suitable way depending on the nature of the fabric.
  • the screen fabric may be formed into a loop and stretched around two side members. This provides a two layer screen having a spaced therein that may be used to receive insulation material, such as, for example, multi-layer metal foil insulation or foamed, expanded or fibrous insulation material.
  • the screen material may be affixed to itself or to a side member by stitching, lacing, fastening material, such as Velcro (Trade Mark), magnetic means, press studs and the like, zips for engaging or cooperating means for any other suitable means.
  • fastening material such as Velcro (Trade Mark), magnetic means, press studs and the like, zips for engaging or cooperating means for any other suitable means.
  • a screen or blind 10 for a window such as in a roof of a conservatory, has side members, in the form of a pair of hollow rectangular runners 12, spaced apart by tensioning means, in the form of a pair of glass fibre rods 14, at opposite ends of the runners 12.
  • the glass fibre rods 14 are each secured in a hole 16 of a runner 12.
  • a fabric screen 18 is attached to the runners 12.
  • the fabric layer 18 is wrapped around a runner 12 and adhered or attached to itself, so as to loop around the runner 12.
  • the glass fibre rods 14 allow some flexing of the screen for fitting purposes, whilst, when the screen is fitted, the rods tension the screen, i.e. rods 14 are resiliently deformable.
  • channels 20 are provided on opposite sides of a glazing panel 22. Said channels 20 may be internal of, or external to, a window.
  • glazing panels 22 are mounted between glazing bars 24.
  • the glazing bars 24 are generally of T-section having a cross bar 26 and a stem 28.
  • the glazing bar will usually be of aluminium with a uPVC cover/cladding 30 on the cross bar and a uPVC cap 32 on the stem.
  • the cover/cladding 30 has top edges 34 that overlie top edges of the cross bar and that carry sealing material 36 on which one side of the glazing panels sit.
  • the cap 32 has sides 38 with sealing material 40 on their free edges. The cap is pressed onto the top of the stem of the glazing bar 24, so that the sealing material 40 seals against the other side of the glazing panels 22.
  • the cover/cladding 30 has a base 50 with a longitudinal slot 52 therein with recessed sides 54 to receive a channel forming member 56.
  • the channel forming member 56 is a T-section uPVC extrusion and has a stem 58 and a cross bar 60.
  • the free end of the stem has resiliently deformable sides 62 with notches 64, whereby the end of the stem can locate in the slot 52 of the cover/cladding 30.
  • channels 70 for receiving the runners of screen 10 on either side of a glazing bar.
  • a screen 10 is fitted to a pair of facing channels 70 by bending the fibre glass rods 14to reduce the width of the screen for it to fit between the channels (see Figures 1 and 2 ). Releasing the rods 14 to return to their normal shape tensions the screen and locates the runners 12 in the channels 70. The size of the channels 70 and runners 12 are chosen so that the screens can slide along the channels 70.
  • FIG. 5 to 7 of the accompanying drawings show how a pair of screens may be accommodated by having wider channels 70, so that a pair of screens 10 can slide over each other to open and close the screen cover.
  • FIGs 8 and 9 show a conservatory roof 200 having screens 10 fitted according to the embodiment of Figures 5 to 7 .
  • the screens can be slid to overlap to let in light ( Figure 8 ) or slid to their opposite limit to inhibit light admission.
  • the glazing panels have been omitted from roof for simplicity.
