Definitions
- This invention relates to a screen assembly for a window, and in particular to a screen assembly for a window that can be easily fitted and which can reliably shut out light through the window when the screen is closed.
- Windows are typically provided with screen assemblies fitted to the inside of the frame of the window opening, typically fixed to the upper face of the window opening or between the sides of the window opening adjacent the upper face thereof, for selectively obscuring the window.
- screen assemblies typically have a roller mounted at an upper side of the frame around which a suitable screen is wound. The screen may be lowered and raised by rotating the roller. The lower end of the screen may be provided with a bar such that the screen hangs from the roller under gravity.
- a problem with such known screen assemblies is that the width of the roller must be accurately matched to the width of the window opening to enable the screen assembly to be mounted within the window opening. Furthermore, gaps between the sides of the screen and the sides of the window opening prevent the screen from completely shutting out light when the screen is closed.
- WO 2012/080189 discloses an improved screen assembly wherein a screen is supported by an elongate support member adapted to be mounted in an upper region of the window opening, a pair of mounting brackets being provided for attachment to respective sides of the window opening adjacent the top face of the window opening, each end of the elongate support member having means for engaging a respective mounting bracket, whereby the mounting brackets may be attached the sides of a window opening such that the support member may be engaged onto the mounting brackets to mount the support member in the window opening.
- the engaging means on each end of the elongate support member comprises a recess for receiving a body portion of a respective bracket such that the elongate support member may be engaged over the mounting brackets to retain the support member between the sides of the window opening. This simplifies installation of the screen assembly.
- a problem with is arrangement is that the length of the elongate support member must be closely matched to the width of the window opening so that the recess on each end of the elongate support member can fit over the respective mounting bracket. If the elongate support member is too short, an end thereof may fall off the adjacent mounting bracket. An object of the present invention is to mitigate this problem.
- a screen assembly for a window comprising a screen supported by an elongate support member adapted to be mounted in an upper region of the window opening, a pair of mounting brackets being provided for attachment to respective sides of the window opening adjacent the top face of the window opening, each end of the elongate support member being provided with a recess adapted to receive a body portion of a respective mounting bracket such that the elongate support member may be engaged over the mounting brackets to retain the support member between the sides of the window opening, a respective biasing means being associated with each recess and/or body portion acting to provide a biasing force to urge the respective mounting bracket away from the respective recess in the adjacent end of the elongate support member, such biasing forces acting to centralise the elongate support member within the window opening.
- a respective biasing means is provided on a base portion of the respective recess in each end of the elongate support member.
- a respective biasing means may be provided on an outer face of said body portion of each mounting bracket to engage an inner face of the recess in an adjacent end of the elongate support member.
- each respective biasing means comprises a resilient member extending outwardly from the base portion of the respective recess or the outer face of the body portion of the respective mounting bracket.
- Said resilient member may be integrally formed on said base portion of the respective recess or the outer face of the body portion of the respective mounting bracket.
- One or more projections or similar formations may be provided on an outer end of said resilient member.
- each resilient member comprises an elongate finger extending outwardly from a base of the recess of a respective end of the elongate support member and away from an open side of the recess via which the cooperating body portion of the respective mounting bracket is inserted into the recess such that the resilient member defines a ramped formation within the respective recess.
- a front face of the elongate support member may define a substantially planar member adapted to extend between the sides of the window opening within which the elongate support member is mounted.
- Preferably side portions of said front face comprise laterally, preferably telescopically, extendable portions adapted to be extendable to cover any gaps between the elongate support member and the sides of the window opening.
- An upper side of the front face of the elongate support member may be provided with a flange adapted to be located against an outer face of an upper side of the window opening to obscure any gap existing between the support member and the window opening.
- each mounting bracket is formed from a first part adapted to be mounted onto a side of the window opening and a second part, incorporating said body portion of the mounting bracket adapted to engage the recess of the adjacent end of the elongate support member, said second part being mountable on said first part in a plurality of different positions to enable adjustment of the position of the body portion and thus adjustment of the position of the elongate support member within the window opening.
- a screen assembly for a window comprises a spring tensioned roller mounted within a support member defining an elongate hollow cassette 2 secured in an upper side of the window opening, around which roller a screen (not shown) is wound.
- the cassette 4 is mounted between the sides of the window opening adjacent the upper face of the window opening 4 by means of a pair of mounting brackets 20 (hidden in Figure 1 ), as will be described below in more detail.
- the front face 6 of the cassette is provided with an integrally formed upper flange 8 arranged to overlap the wall adjacent the upper face of the window opening 4 such that the cassette 2 fits against the window opening substantially flush with the wall, the flange 8 covering any gap between the cassette 2 and the upper side of the window opening 4.
- end fittings 10,12 of the cassette are provided with laterally extending flanges 13,14 arranged to abut the sides of the window opening 4 to cover any gaps between the sides of the cassette 2 and the sides of the window opening 4.
- each end fitting 10,12 of the cassette 2 is provided with a slot like recess 16 adapted to receive a body portion 18 of a respective mounting bracket 20, in a similar manner to the arrangement discloses in WO 2012/080189 .
- a resilient finger 22 extends outwardly from a base region of the recess 16 of each end fitting 10,12, away from an open side of the respective recess 16, to act against an outer face of the body portion 18 of a respective mounting bracket 20 when the end fittings 10,12 of the cassette 2 are mounted over the mounting brackets 20.
- the resilient finger 22 of each recess 16 biases the end fittings 10,12 away from the mounting brackets 20, thus centralising the cassette 2 within the window opening.
- the resilient fingers 22 also serve to retain the end fittings 10,12 of the cassette in place over the mounting brackets 20 until they are secured to the mounting brackets 20 via the insertion of screws.
- Each resilient finger 22 is integrally formed on the body of the respective end fitting 10,12, extending outwardly from the base of the recess 16 and inwardly away from an open side of the recess 16 so that the resilient arm 22 presents a ramped restriction to the insertion of the body portion 18 of the respective mounting bracket 20 as the cassette 2 is mounted into the window opening, the resilient finger 22 being displaceable inwardly to permit insertion of the body portion 18 of the respective mounting bracket 20 into the recess 16.
- Each laterally extending flange portion 12,13 of each end fitting 10,12 of the cassette is laterally slidable with respect to the body of the respective end fitting 10,12 such that the respective flange portion can be slid outwardly with respect to the front face 6 of the cassette 2 to fill any gap between the respective end fitting 10,12 and the adjacent side of the window opening 4, as can be seen from Figure 3 .
- the mounting brackets 20 are secured to the sides of the window opening and the cassette 2 is located over the mounting brackets 20 such that the respective body portions 18 of the mounting brackets 20 slide into the corresponding recesses 16 in the end fittings 10,12 of the cassette 2.
- the cassette 2 is pushed over the brackets 20 until the flange 8 on the front face 6 of the cassette 2 abuts the front face of the head of the window opening 4.
- the resilient arm 22 on each recess 16 acts against the adjacent face of the respective mounting bracket 20 to centralise the cassette 2 between the sides of the window opening and to temporarily retain the cassette within the window opening. Formations 24 formed on the distal end of each resilient arm 22 enhance the retention of the cassette 2 in place in the window opening.
- the end fittings 10,12 are provided with apertures 26 in the lower face of the support beam in the region of each recess 50 through which fasteners, such as self tapping screws, can be inserted to extend into the body portion 18 of each mounting bracket 20 to secure the cassette 2 to the mounting brackets 20.
- the apertures 26 are inclined to the vertical to assist insertion of the screws into the brackets 20 by providing better access for a screwdriver.
- Receiving apertures 28 may be provided in the mounting brackets 20 for receiving the screws.
- each mounting bracket 20 will be fully inserted into the corresponding recess 16 of the respective end fitting 10,12 of the cassette 2, as shown in Figures 6 and 8 .
- the resilient fingers 22 of each end fitting 10,12 will be pushed back to a flattened or fully retracted configuration.
- the cassette 2 is slightly narrower than the window opening 4, possibly due to a mistake made in measurement of the width of the window opening 4, gaps may exist between the outer face of the body portion 18 of each mounting bracket 20 and the inner face of the corresponding recess 16 in the respective end fitting 10,12 of the cassette 2.
- the resilient fingers 22 of the recesses 16 provide inwardly directed biasing forces against the cooperating faces of the body portions 18 of the mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 7 and 9 , to centralise the cassette 2 within the window opening 4, dividing the difference between the length of the cassette 2 and the width of the window opening equally on either side of the cassette, thus minimising the risk of one end of the cassette falling off a respective mounting bracket.
- the slidable flange portions 13,14 of the end fittings 10,12 of the cassette may be extended to fill any such gaps.
- each mounting bracket 20 is formed from two parts, a first part 20A being mountable on a respective side of the window opening and a second part 20B, mountable upon the first part 20A, the second part 20B incorporating the body portion 18 upon which a respective end fitting 6,10 of the cassette 4 can be mounted via the corresponding recess 16 formed therein.
- the first and second part 20A,20B of each mounting bracket are adapted to be vertically adjustable with respect to one another to allow the position of the body portion 18 of the mounting bracket 20 to be adjusted to take account of any misalignment of the brackets, for example due to the window opening not being completely square or due to incorrect mounting of the brackets 20 on the sides of the window opening.
- the first part 20A of each mounting bracket 20 comprises a relatively thin planar base part 30 having an upper tab or wing 32 arranged to abut an upper corner of the window opening to locate the first part 20A of the mounting bracket against the window opening.
- a pair of substantially rectangular mounting blocks 34,26 project from the base part 161 upon which can be mounted second part 20B of the respective mounting bracket.
- Each mounting block 34,36 includes substantially vertically arranged sides having serrated or tooth like formations 38 formed thereon.
- Mounting apertures 39 are provided in each mounting block 34,36 through which screws or nails can be inserted to secure the mounting brackets to the sides of the window opening.
- the second part 20B of each mounting bracket includes substantially rectangular recesses 40,42 for receiving the mounting blocks 34,26 of the first part 20A of the respective mounting bracket.
- the sides of the recesses 40,42 are provided with serrated or tooth like formations 44 adapted to engage the corresponding formations 38 on the sides of the mounting blocks 34,36.
- the height of the mounting blocks 34,36 of the first part 20A of each mounting bracket is less than the height of the cooperating recesses 40,42 of the respective second part 20B so that the second part 20B of each mounting bracket can be mounted on the respective first part 20A in a number of different vertically spaced locations.
- the cooperating serrated or toothed formations 38,44 on the sides of the mounting blocks 34,36 and recesses 40,42 secure the two parts 20A,20B in the selected position.
