Description

The invention relates to a mounting element for mounting an insect protection device on a window frame and to an insect protection device for mounting on a window frame comprising at least one mounting element.

There are insect protection devices eg from US 211 47 46 A1 or DE 10 2008 03 07 26 A1 known, which are attachable to an opening of a window frame and close it with a frame, so that no insects can get into the interior of the room with the window open. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that instead of an insect protection device, a sun protection device and / or a privacy device may also make use of the present invention. Therefore, the invention is described below without limitation with reference to an insect protection device, the terms insect protection, sun protection and privacy are to be understood synonymous. Likewise, the terms insect protection device, sun protection device and visual protection device are synonymous to understand.

Those skilled in the art will further understand that the present invention will be explained with reference to a window frame. Likewise, however, the present invention can also be implemented on a door frame.

Some of the known insect protection devices must be attached to the outside of the window or window frame. This is not always possible, especially for windows that are on a higher floor and therefore not accessible without ladder or crane. Therefore, insect protection devices have been proposed, which can be attached from the interior of the window frame, preferably on the outside of the window frame.

In the prior art insect protection devices are known which comprise a clamping frame, which by means of suspension brackets on the window frame and / or in the window opening is attached. Such insect protection devices are available, for example, from Warema or Neher.

In the case of insect protection devices which are mounted on the outside of a window frame from the inside, for example, holes for fastening means on the window frame are required in the prior art. The positioning of these fasteners is cumbersome in the prior art.

The present invention has therefore taken on the task of improving known insect protection devices in such a way that no holes on the window frame for the attachment are required. Next, a positioning of the fastener on or on the window frame to be facilitated.

The invention therefore proposes a mounting element for mounting an insect protection device on a window frame according to claim 1; preferably on the outside of the window frame. The mounting member includes a spacer, a cantilever, a support portion and a mounting portion. The spacer and the Kragabschnitt can be applied to an outer edge of the window frame. The support sections 1.3 and / or the second support section 1.3a in Fig. 1a is designed as a spring element that can be locked in a profile and thereby carries the latched profile.

The term can be applied in the following to the effect that the spacer element and the Kragabschnitt can be arranged on the outer edge of the window frame, that Kragabschnitt and / or spacer at least partially cover a section of the outer edge and / or in contact with the outer edge of the window frame are.

An outer edge of the window frame limits the window frame to the outside of the room. The outer edge is also referred to as the opening edge of a window frame. It is also possible that the outer edge or the opening edge is also visible from the interior of the room with the window open, so that this edge could also be referred to as the inner edge of a window opening.

The support portion of the mounting member is suitable for attachment of the insect protection device. Preferably, the support portion is adapted to adhere or carry a frame of the insect protection device.

The attachment portion of the mounting member is suitable for attaching the support portion to the window frame; preferably on the outside of the window frame. When spacer and Kragabschnitt abut the outer edge, that is, an outer edge of the window frame, there is a defined distance of the support portion of the mounting member to the window frame and thus the opening of the window frame, whereby the positioning of the insect protection device on or on the window frame is facilitated.

Advantageous characteristics of the mounting element according to the invention are defined in the subclaims.

The invention further proposes an insect protection device for mounting on a window frame. The insect protection device comprises at least one inventive mounting element and a frame. The at least one mounting element can be applied to at least one outer edge of the window frame and fixed in a position applied to the outer edge position. The position of the mounting element applied to the outer edge is also referred to below as the applied position.

The frame of the insect protection device comprises a first side part, a second side part and a head part. Furthermore, the frame can be brought into engagement with at least one of the support sections of the at least one mounting element. That is, the frame is held, supported or carried by the at least one support portion, thereby resulting in a connection with the window frame.

If the frame engages in the at least one mounting element, that is, with this in engagement, the frame is fixed relative to the window frame. According to the invention, the opening of the window frame is closed from the outside. Typically, the frame is covered with a gauze, whereby the frame can effectively close the opening of the window, that is the opening of the window frame.

It is also possible that in the frame, a roller blind is clamped, which closes the opening of the window frame in the unrolled position. If the opening of the window frame is closed, insects can no longer get through the opening of the window frame into the interior of the room.

It is also possible that the frame spans the opening of the window frame. This means that the opening of the window frame is closed by the plane spanned by the frame and the dimensions of the frame are larger than those of the opening of the window frame. Also by a roller blind within the frame, the opening of the window frame is overstretched. For this purpose, the roller blind obviously has to be extended or unrolled far enough to effectively close the opening of the window frame.

A frame, which spans the opening of the window frame, is at least partially on the window frame. Preferably, the dimensions of the frame are selected so that the frame substantially fully seats on the window frame when the frame is engaged or engaged with the at least one mounting member; in other words, when the frame is fixed by the mounting member to the window frame.

The insect protection device of the invention has the advantage that no holes are required on the window frame for attachment of the insect protection device. Likewise, the insect protection device can be mounted from the inside to the window frame, wherein the mounting of the insect protection device according to the invention over the prior art is simplified.

Further advantages of the insect protection device of the invention are evident from the subclaims.

From the illustrations according to Fig. 1a and 1b is a preferred embodiment of the mounting member 1 can be seen. Fig. 1 a shows a perspective view of the mounting element 1 according to the invention. In Fig. 1b is a section through the mounting member 1 or a side view of the mounting member 1 from Fig. 1 shown. Like elements of the invention will be denoted by like reference numerals in the following drawings to facilitate understanding of the invention.

The mounting element 1 comprises a cantilever section 1.2, a spacer 1.1, a support section 1.3 and a mounting section 1.4. The Kragabschnitt 1.2, and the spacer 1.1 can at an outer edge 11 (see Fig. 1c ) of a window frame 10 are hung or put on; They can therefore be applied to the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10.

If the mounting element 1 is applied to the outer edge 11 or hung on the outer edge 11, preferably the spacer 1.1 and the Kragabschnitt 1.2 at least in sections contact the outer edge 11 as in Fig. 1c shown. The mounting element 1 in Fig. 1c is in a created position.

It is also conceivable that in an applied position of the mounting member 1, only the spacer 1.1, the outer edge 11 is partially contacted, or that only the Kragabschnitt 1.2, the outer edge 11 touches sections.

Fig. 1c shows the mounting element 1 from FIGS. 1a and 1b in a created position. Those skilled in the art will recognize that there is not a single applied position for the mounting element 1 of the invention on the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10. Rather, the mounting element 1 can be moved in the applied position along the outer edge 11.

The mounting member 1 further comprises a mounting portion 1.4 which is adapted to rest in the applied position of the mounting member 1 on a surface of the window frame 10, which is bounded by the outer edge 11. The attachment section 1.4 is connected to at least one support section 1.3. In a preferred embodiment of the mounting element of the mounting portion 1.4 and the support portion 1.3 are designed as a unitary element.

The mounting element 1 according to the invention may comprise more than one support section 1.3, as in Fig. 1a shown a second support section 1.3a. The support sections 1.3 are designed so that they can be connected to a frame 50 (not shown). It may be the frame 50 is brought into engagement with the support section 1.3. The person skilled in the corresponding intervention means are well known.

In Fig. 1b it can be seen that the attachment portion 1.4 carries a fastener 1.5. The fastening means 1.5 is in Fig. 1b as an adhesive element, e.g. B. executed in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape. Alternative fastening means 1.5 are well known to those skilled in the art, for example Velcro, which provides a connection between window frame 10 and fastening element 1.4. Advantageous are those fasteners that require no holes on the window frame 10 and can be removed without leaving residue. Likewise, magnetic fastening means 1.5 are conceivable. These are particularly advantageous in connection with metallic and / or magnetic window frames 10. Likewise, a magnetic fastener 1.5 is advantageous when the mounting member 1 is made metallic. It is conceivable, for example, the use of rare earth magnets as fasteners 1.5 due to their high adhesive force.

The person skilled in the art will immediately recognize that the in Fig. 1b shown fastening means 1.5 could also be attached to the spacer 1.1 and / or the Kragabschnitt 1.2, so as to a Attach the support section 1.3 to the window frame 10 provide. As a result, the fastening element 1.4 would also be fastened to the window frame 10 if the mounting element is formed from a sufficiently strong material and is in a position applied to the outer edge.

When mounting the fastener 1.4 to the window frame 10, the spacer 1.1 and the cantilever 1.2 provide the desired defined distance to the window frame 10 safe when the fastener 1 is in an applied position. For this purpose, spacer 1.1 and / or cantilever 1.2 are to be applied to the outer edge 11, as described.

According to a further embodiment of the mounting element 1 support section 1.3 and mounting section 1.4 are executed in one piece.

Once the mounting portion 1.4 is attached to the window frame 10, the spacer 1.1 and the Kragabschnitt 1.2 need not be applied to the outer edge 11, unless the attachment means 1.5 is attached to the spacer 1.1 and / or the Kragabschnitt 1.2.

In the Fig. 1 a and 1 b shown embodiment of the mounting member 1 include a second spacer 1.1 a and a second Kragabschnitt 1.2 a. Next, a second support section 1.3a can be seen. The person skilled in the art will understand that the mounting element 1 of the invention can comprise only one pair of spacer element 1.1 and cantilever section 1.2. Likewise, more than two pairs of spacer 1.1, 1.1a and Kragabschnitt 1.2, 1.2a are conceivable.

Regardless of the selected number of pairs of Kragabschnitt and spacer element, the Kragabschnitte 1.2, 1.2a and the spacer elements 1.1, 1.1 a are suspended or applied to an outer edge 11 of a window frame 10; They are therefore applied to the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10, as already described for the Kragabschnitt 1.2 and the spacer 1.1. The mounting member 1 is by means of each pair of spacer 1.1, 1.1a, 1.1b and Kragabschnitt 1.2, 1.2a, 1.2b at least one of the outer edges 11, 11 a, 11 b of the window frame 10 can be applied.

The person skilled in the art will also recognize immediately that the mounting element 1 of the present invention has only one support section 1.3, the support section 1.3 and a second support section 1.3a, as in FIG Fig. 1 a and 1 b or more support sections may include. The support sections 1.3, 1.3a are adapted to support or fix the frame 50 (not shown) of an insect protection device 60.

In the in Fig. 1a - 1c shown embodiment of the mounting member 1 results in the simultaneous, partially touching the outer edge 11 by at least one of the pairs of Kragabschnitt 1.2, 1.2a and spacer 1.1, 1.1a provided that the outer edge 11 defines a substantially rectangular profile of the window frame 10. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the mounting element 1 of the invention is not limited to such substantially rectangular profiles of the window frame 10. Rather, the mounting element 1 of the invention can also be used on outer edges 11, which limit a non-rectangular profile of the window frame 10.

For this purpose, for example, a corresponding angle between the spacer element 1.1 and the cantilever section 1.2 could be adjusted so that it substantially corresponds to the non-rectangular angle of the profile of the window frame 10.

Alternatively, it would be possible to manufacture the spacing element 1.1 and the cantilever section 1.2 from a sufficiently flexible material, such as soft plastic or rubber, so that both can follow a profile of the window frame 10 when they are applied to the outer edge 11.

This in Fig. 1a shown mounting element 1 comprises three holes through which the fastening element 1.4 can optionally be fixed to the window frame 10 in an applied position by means of suitable fastening means, such as screws. According to the invention, however, the fastening means 1.5 can be chosen so strong that they are able to support the frame 50 of the insect protection device 60. Therefore, holes in the window frame 10 can be omitted, which may be useful in particular for rented apartments or buildings, if the tenant wants to attach to a window frame, the insect protection device of the invention.

The window frames 10 shown in this description frame a rectangular window. A person skilled in the art will readily recognize that the mounting element 1 is also attached to a triangular, polygonal, round or oval window frame 10 (not shown) can be applied to position a correspondingly shaped insect protection device 60. In the case of a round or oval window frame 10, it may be necessary for the fastening section 1.4 to follow a corresponding curvature of the window frame 10. For round or oval window frames, it is advisable to use a gauze-covered frame 50 as an insect protection device 60 or a roller blind already adapted to the round or oval shape of the window frame 10.

Due to the selected dimensions of the spacer 1.1 and the Kragabschnitts 1.2 results in a defined distance of the fastener 1.4 and thus the support sections 1.3, 1.3a of the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10, when the Kragabschnitt 1.2 and the spacer 1.1 at the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10th are created as in Fig. 1c seen.

Preferably, the dimensions of the mounting element 1 are to be selected such that the support sections 1.3, 1.3a and the attachment section 1.4 come to lie on the window frame 10 when the spacer element 1.1 and the cantilever section 1.2 are applied to the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10; the mounting member 1 is thus in an applied position. This is advantageous because the window frame 10 is usually smoother than the adjacent brickwork. The attachment of the mounting portion 1.4 on the window frame 10 is therefore easier on the window frame 10 than on the adjacent masonry.

In addition, window frames 10 are typically more dimensionally stable than the surrounding masonry, so that it is easier to provide an insect device 60 whose dimensions are adapted only to the window frame 10, when it is necessary to safely close the window by means of an insect protection device 60 against insects.

The support section 1.3, 1.3a of the mounting element 1 is suitable for carrying or holding an insect protection device 60. According to the in Fig. 1a and 1b shown embodiment of the mounting member 1, it is possible to separate the Kragabschnitt 1.2, 1.2a and the spacer elements 1.1 of the support sections 1.3, 1.3a and the mounting portion 1.4. For this purpose, a perforation line 1.7 is provided (good to see in Fig. 1b ) along which the separation can be made conveniently. The perforation line 1.7 is therefore preferably chosen so that when separated spacer elements 1.1, 1.1a and separated Kragabschnitten 1.2, 1.2a, the mounting element. 1 no longer rests or applies on the outer edge 11. If one of the Kragabschnitte 1.2, 1.2a and one of the spacer elements 1.1, 1.1a, however, remain on the mounting element 1, so seals the outer edge 11 on the window sash (not shown) usually compensate for this order, so that the sash are tightly closed can.

In the event that the fastener 1.5 is not attached directly to the mounting portion 1.4 and / or the support portion 1.3, is to be foreseen a separation along the perforation 1.7, otherwise an attachment of the mounting portion 1.4 would be lost to the window frame 10. Therefore, no perforation line 1.7 can be provided for such an embodiment of the mounting element 1.

Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of a fastener 1 of the invention. The fastener 1 in Fig. 2 is adapted to be applied to the outer edge 11 and a further outer edge 11a. Therefore, the mounting member 1 of this embodiment can be conveniently applied to a corner of the window frame 10 where the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11a intersect each other.

The mounting portion 1.4 is angled in this embodiment and follows the window frame 10 around the corner, which is formed by the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11 a. As before, the spacing element 1.1 sets a distance of the fastening section 1.4 and thus of the support section 1.3 from the outer edge 11, when the fastening element 1 is applied to the outer edge 11. The Kragabschnitt 1.2 has in the drawing to the rear and is in contact with the outer edge 11 when the mounting member 1 is applied to the outer edge 11, that is, when the mounting member 1 is in an applied position.

Along a second outer edge 11a, which in Fig. 2 is intended to extend vertically, sets the second spacer 1.1a a distance of a second support section 1.3a to the second outer edge 11a fixed. A second cantilever section 1.2a and the second spacer element 1.1a can be applied to the second outer edge 11a, as already described for the first outer edge 11.

If the mounting element 1 is applied simultaneously to the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11a, the support section 1.3 and the second support section 1.3a are each at a defined distance from the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11a. In other words, the Carrying section 1.3 and the second support portion a defined distance from the corner of the window frame 10, which is formed by the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11 a.

In Fig. 2 the support section 1.3 and the second support section 1.3a are designed as smooth surfaces. This embodiment of the support sections 1.3, 1.3a is particularly suitable for the interaction of Tragabscnitte 1.3, 1.3a with guide lugs 51, or other elements that are attached in the drawing from above on the mounting element 1. Of course, the mounting element 1 off Fig. 2 also with the support sections as in Fig. 1a to 1c be combined - instead of or in addition to the in Fig. 2 shown.

Also in Fig. 2 shown embodiment comprises fastening means 1.5 (not shown) which allow attachment of the mounting member 1 to the window frame, as already for the embodiments in Fig. 1a - 1c discussed.

Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the mounting member 1 of the present invention. The mounting element 1 of Fig. 3 is particularly suitable to be applied to a corner of the window frame 10, which is formed by the outer edge 11 and a further outer edge 11 b. The spacer 1.1 and the Kragabschnitt 1.2 of the embodiment Fig. 3 are adapted to define a defined distance to the outer edge 11 and to the further outer edge 11 a, when the mounting element 1 is in a position applied to a corner of the window frame 10. The applied to a corner of the window frame 10 position of the mounting member 1 is determined by the fact that the mounting member 1 is applied to the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11 a, which form the corner of the window frame 10.

For the in Fig. 3 shown embodiment of the mounting member 1 is sufficient a pair of spacer 1.1 and Kragabschnitt 1.2 to make the mounting element 1 at two outer edges 11, 11a simultaneously applied. In other words, the pair of spacer 1.1 and cantilever 1.2 is sufficient to align the mounting member 1 at a corner of the window frame 10, which is formed from a first outer edge 11 and a second outer edge 11a of the window frame.

In Fig. 3 Correspond to the support section 1.3 and the second support section 1.3a already in Fig. 1a - 1c illustrated support section 1.3 The fastener 1.4 and the support section 1.3 are in the depth opposite to the second fastening element 1.4a and the second support section 1.3a added. However, this offset is without limitation to the invention and rather by a in Fig. 3 different selected profile thickness of individual parts of a frame 50 of the insect device 60 justified.

Fig. 4 shows a window frame 10, at the upper corner of the mounting element 1 according to Fig. 2 can be seen in the position created on a corner. Further, in the lower corner of the window frame 10, the fastener 1 according to the embodiment Fig. 3 shown in the position applied at the bottom corner. Once these fasteners 1 are fixed in the position applied to the respective corner, the Kragabschnitte 1.2 and the spacer elements 1.1 along the perforation lines 1.7 can be separated. The fixation of the fasteners 1 in on the window frame 10 is provided as before by a fastener (not shown) 1.5.

The present invention further contemplates an insect repellent device 60. The insect protection device 60 comprises at least one mounting element 1 according to the invention, and a frame 50. The at least one mounting element 1 can be applied to at least one outer edge 11 of the window frame 10 and fixed in an applied position. The frame 50 includes a head portion 58, a first side portion 52, and a second side portion 54. The frame 50 is engageable with at least one of the fasteners 1. That is, the frame 50 can be brought into engagement with at least one support portion 1.3 of a fastener 1. Thereby, the frame 50 is fixed relative to the window frame 10, and an opening of the window frame 10 is straddled by the frame 50.

In the prior art frame 50 of an insect protection device 60 are known, which are formed from profiled strips, which are connected by means of corner pieces to a frame 50. The profile strips can be made of metal or plastic, for example aluminum or PVC.

The dimensions of the frame 50 are to be chosen so that the frame 50 is larger than the opening of the window frame 10 on the outside of the window frame 10. Preferably, the dimensions of the frame 50 are selected so that the profile strips of the frame 50 at least partially on the outside of the window frame 10 come to rest when the frame 50 is centered on the opening of the window frame 10. Further preferably, the Dimensions of the frame 50 are selected so that the profile strips of the frame 50 come to lie completely on the outside of the window frame 10 when the frame 50 is centered on the opening of the window frame 10. As a result, an additional shading of the opening of the window frame 10 by the insect protection device is largely avoided.

The skilled person will understand that the use of at least one mounting member 1 facilitates the assembly of the frame 50 at the opening of the window frame 10, provided that the mounting member 1 is applied to the outer edge 11 of the window frame 10.

If the dimensions of the opening of the window frame 10 are known, which is formed by the outer edges 11, 11 a, then the suitable dimensions of the frame 50 can be determined from this, so that the profiles of the frame 50 come to lie completely on the outside of the window frame 10, when the frame 50 engages in the at least one mounting element 1.

For insect protection devices 60 in the prior art, the correct positioning and attachment of the components of the frame 50 to the window frame 10 must be measured and profiles tailored accordingly, which is cumbersome and too troublesome for inexperienced users.

With the insect protection device 60 of the invention using the mounting elements 1 results in known dimensions of the window opening a defined position of the components of the frame 50 of the insect protection device 60 when the mounting members 1 are each in an applied position; be it on only one of the outer edges 11, 11a, 11b or on two of the outer edge 11, the second outer edge 11a and the further outer edge 11b, as will be briefly explained below.

Fig. 5a shows a section of a window frame 10, in whose upper corners in each case a mounting element 1 according to the embodiment Fig. 2 can be seen in the applied position. One of the mounting elements 1 is applied to the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11 a, the other of the mounting elements 1 is applied to the outer edge 11 and a further outer edge 11 b. In a known expansion of the window opening 10 in - in the drawing - horizontal direction, a roller blind 58 can be shortened or sawn so that guide lugs 51 can be guided at the ends of the two mounting elements 1. If the guide lugs 51 on the mounting elements 1, as in Fig. 5a led to see results almost by itself a correct orientation of the blinds 58 to the other outer edge 11 b of the window opening. A roller blind 58 as in Fig. 5a is known in the art. The use of the mounting elements 1 of the invention facilitates the alignment of the roller blind 58 and thus its mounting compared to the prior art considerably.

Fig. 5b shows a side view of the arrangement Fig. 5a , It can be seen that the roller blind 58 carries a fastening means 57, which allows for snapping the guide lugs 51 on the mounting elements 1, a convenient attachment of the blinds 58 on the window frame 10. The attachment means 57 may preferably be designed as an adhesive. Alternatively, magnetic fastening means are conceivable, such as rare earth magnets due to their high adhesive force. Next, a hook and loop fastener 57 is conceivable as a fastening means. Other fasteners 57 are known in the art. In the prior art possibly required holes for fixing the blinds in the window frame 10 may be omitted for the inventive insect protection device 60.

By means of the fastening means 57, the shade 58 can be precisely positioned on or on the window frame 10 when aligned with the applied mounting elements 1. In Fig. 5b In addition, an end bar 59 of the blind 58 is shown, as is known in the art. The end bar 58 limits the shade. The end bar 59 runs between the first side part 52 and the second side part 54 (best seen in FIG Fig. 6a and 7 ) of the frame 50 of the insect repellent device 60.

Fig. 6a shows a window frame 10 to which the head part 58 is already attached. In addition, a plurality of mounting members 1 are shown on the window frame 10 in an applied position. Next mounting elements 1 are shown on the window frame 10 in the applied to the outer edge 11 and the second outer edge 11 a position - in the Fig. 6a in the lower left corner of the window frame 10. Next shows Fig. 6a a mounting member 1 in the at the second outer edge 11 a and the other outer edge 11 b applied position - to see in the figure in the lower right corner of the window frame 10. Each of the mounting elements 1 shown has a defined distance to the or the outer edges 11, 11 a 11 b at or on which the respective mounting element 1 is applied.

Fig. 6b shows how to mount the insect protection device 60 on the window frame 10, the first side part 52 is attached to the window frame 10. The first side part 52 comes in Engage with the fasteners 1, which are applied to the outer edge 11 and are fixed in each case in applied positions. The support elements 1.3 of these mounting elements 1 come into engagement with the first side part 52 and carry the first side part 52 and thus also the frame 50 of the insect protection device 60th

The in the lower corner of the window frame 10 in Fig. 6b Mounting member 1 is additionally applied to the second outer edge 11 a, as in connection with Fig. 3 explained. Preferably, the first side part 52 can engage or snap into the mounted on the outer edge 11 mounting elements 1. Jamming of the side part 52 or a press fit of the side part 52 on the support members 1.3 would also be conceivable.

With proper coordination of the support sections 1.3, 1.3a, 1.3b on the profile and material of the side part 52, the first side part 52 can be anchored by hand with the mounting elements 1 in the aligned positions.

Accordingly, the second side element 54 of the frame 50 can engage in mounting elements 1. The mounting members 1 that can engage with the second side member 54 are fixed in positions applied to the other outer edge 11b. The mounting element 1 shown in the right corner of the window frame 10 is additionally applied to the second outer edge 11 b of the window frame 10. As before, with appropriate matching of the support sections 1.3, 1.3a, 1.3b on the profile and material of the side part 52, the second side part 54 can be anchored by hand with the mounting elements 1 in the aligned positions.

Fig. 6c shows how an optional termination element 56 can be attached to the window frame 10, that is attachable thereto. In this case, the closing element 56 comes with at the second outer edge 11 a applied and fixed fasteners 1 into engagement. Alternatively, the blind 53 can also be closed by the end bar 59 to the window frame, so that the closing element 56 can be omitted to effectively close the opening of the window frame 10 against insects.

Fig. 7 Finally, the insect protection device 60 of the invention, the mounting elements 1 comprises and has been attached by means of these mounting elements 1 on the window frame 10.

In Fig. 4-7 the blind 53 had been drawn as running from top to bottom. One skilled in the art will immediately understand that the invention is not limited thereto. Without limitation, the roller blind could also run from bottom to top, from right to left or from left to right. Also, for insect protection devices 60 whose roller blind 53 does not extend from top to bottom, the present invention can be used.
