EP 1042569 B1 , is installed in a roof structure in the way that a number, usually four, of mounting brackets are fastened to the frame of the window by the first leg portion and to the roof structure by the second leg portion. -
WO 88/04348 A1 - Windows of this known type are usually delivered at the installation site with associated mounting brackets as well as an associated flashing matching the window. The window and mounting brackets are adapted for mounting with the specific associated type of flashing, which requires mounting the window at a particular installation level in the roof structure. Mounting the window and its mounting brackets with another type of flashing will result in incorrect mounting of the window and/or the flashing. Consequently, flashings are traditionally provided in a variety of types, thus rendering the manufacturing and storage more expensive.
- Therefore, it is the object of the invention to provide a window of the type mentioned in the introduction, which enables correct mounting of the window without being restricted to the use of a specific type of flashing.
- According to the invention, this is obtained by a window according to claim 1.
- Thereby a window is provided which may be mounted correctly using different types of flashing, thereby simplifying the mounting process and furthermore opening the possibility of combining windows and flashings not hitherto combinable.

Fig. 8 , markings 150 are provided for indicating two installation levels of the window 1 in relation to a surrounding building structure. The markings 150 comprise twolines Fig. 8 as provided only on the outer face of side frame member, the markings may in addition thereto or alternatively be provided on the outer face of the bottom frame member. Therespective markings brackets 10 for installation of the frame in a desired level in a surrounding building structure. - Referring to
Fig. 6 , the mountingbrackets 10 according to the first and second embodiment of the invention and as shown inFig. 5 has due to thesecond leg portion 12, a further advantage when mounting a plurality of windows 1 adjacent to one another. Namely, a predetermined distance between adjacent windows 1 may be maintained without the need of further precautions by mounting the adjacent windows 1 such that the engagement means 32, 33 and further engagement means 34, 35 of the mountingbrackets 10 of the adjacent windows 1 are in engagement with each other. - In this connection it is particularly preferred to mount the windows 1 such that the mounting brackets are attached to the frame members at a distance of about 25 mm from a
corner joint 6, and that the section(s) 12a and/or 12a' of thesecond leg portion 12 are dimensioned such as to provide a distance of about 100 mm between adjacent window frame structures. - As a third embodiment, one of a plurality of mounting
brackets 600 is shown infigures 7a to 7c . Each mountingbracket 600 comprises afirst leg 601 adapted to be mounted in parallel with the outer side of a corresponding frame member, and asecond leg 602 which in the mounted position protrudes at an angle from the first leg. In the embodiment shown, the first andsecond legs first leg 601 is connected to anadditional member 603 and the first leg and the additional member are movable with respect to each other in an undetachable manner between a first and a second position. In this context, the term undetachable denotes a connection which is intended to be maintained throughout during installation and normal usage of the mounting bracket. - In the embodiment shown, the additional member is a
base member 603 adapted to be mounted on the outer side of a corresponding frame member. Thefirst leg 601 is connected to thebase member 603 by means of apivotal connection 640 allowing rotation of the first leg and the base member relative to each other about an axis A parallel to the width direction of the corresponding frame member, between said first and second positions. - In order to lock the first leg to the additional member in the desired position and to secure the mounting bracket to the corresponding frame member, the
first leg 601 is in the embodiment shown provided with a plurality ofopenings 611 and thebase member 603 with a plurality ofopenings 631, at least some of saidopenings - The mounting bracket is adapted to be fastened to the underlying roof structure, for instance by fastening screw which are driven into rafters of the roof structure. To this end, the
second leg 602 of the mounting bracket is provided with a plurality of openings 621 - 624. Among the openings in the second leg is anoblong opening 623 extending in the longitudinal direction of the frame member, and anotheroblong opening 624 extending in the width direction of the frame member. In this manner, slight adjustment of the entire roof window may easily take place. - In the embodiment shown, the
base member 603 is provided with a protrudingledge 612 adapted to engage a recess formed in the corresponding frame member. -
Fig. 7a shows the mountingbracket 600 in a first position, in which thesecond leg 602 is positioned near the lower edge of thebase member 603. Mounting the roof window with the first and second legs in this position entails that the window will be located relatively high up in the roof structure. In case a lower installation depth is for some reason desired, the first leg 601 (and the remaining portion, i.e. the second leg 602) is rotated about axis A through the position shown inFig. 7b and finally into the second position shown inFig. 7c . - Finally, it should be noted that the above description of preferred embodiments serves only as an example, and that a worker skilled in the art will know that numerous variations are possible without deviating from the scope of the claims.
