Definitions
- the present invention relates to a roof with a roof window equipped with a reinforced-structure hinge which hinders the sash being forced open out of the frame.
- a hinge of this type may be applied in all types of roof windows.
- the problem with roof windows is their poor resistance to burglary, wherein the sash is forced open out of the frame. This is usually achieved by breaking off the hinge, which is not secured in conventional solutions, from the frame, as this is relatively easy if done with a crowbar.
- windows having their structure partially projecting from the surface of roofing it is even simpler to force open the hinge as the seat with the set hinge is located in the upper frame section which is only covered by flashing.
- Hinges for pivot windows comprising a part mounted on the frame and a part mounted on the sash.
- Each part of the hinge has a mounting plate with holes for screws fastening that part to the frame or to the sash frame respectively.

- Dual action roof windows are also known, wherein the tilting axis is at the upper framing member of the frame and the rotation axis is in the middle section of the sash, located at a small distance from the glazing surface, wherein only one (tilting or pivotal) function may be usually used at a time.
- Roof windows are externally fitted with guards, usually made of metal sheet, protecting the frame and the sash frame against an adverse impact of weather conditions. Such guards also impede burglar's intrusion while attempting to force open the sash. These guards, however, provide no protection against such an action, and for known solutions of wooden windows, it is easy to force open the sash together with the hinge, usually fastened in the framing member at a shallow depth, by applying force to break it out or to pull off the frame section projecting from the surface of roofing.
- a solution disclosed in another application no. WO 2010005330 A2 is known, wherein the hinge of the pivot roof window comprises reinforcement elements to improve hinge fastening both in the sash and in the window frame.
- Mounting plates of the hinge have perpendicularly bent sections, flushed into bodies of the sash frame and the frame with through holes for screw fixing.
- This solution considerably improves quality and durability of the connection of the hinge with the sash and the frame.
- this is not an effective protection against forcing open the hinge together with a frame section.
- Such a protection may be provided by the solution disclosed in another application no. EP 2426305 A1 .

- the metal clamp is bent to obtain the L shape or a channel bar is provided, flushed into the side member body, arranged on the inner side of the frame, and providing reinforcement in the section used to set and fix the hinge.
- the application of glued wooden profiles makes it easier to integrate the clamp into the side member body. This solution reinforces this frame section and provides a significant obstacle during an attempt to force open the pivot hinge of the roof window. This solutions, however, is not effective if an attempt is made to split the wooden frame and to break off its entire section projecting from the surface of roofing in the vicinity of the hinge.
- WO 2004/005642 A1 discloses the features of the roof window of the preamble of claim 1.
- the reinforcement plate which is located on the external side surface of the frame, and which is connected with the hinge preferably with anchor bolts, is fastened to the frame by fastening means placed below the window installation plane.
- the plane of window installation is the upper external plane of roof structure, determined by elements of roof structure, most frequently a batten, board or plate to which the frame is fastened.
- the hinge assembly with the reinforcement plate may be applied in all types of roof windows as a protection against forcing open the hinge out of the frame, in particular in windows the structure of which projects from the surface of roofing. This particularly applies to roof windows with a horizontally-rotating or pivot or tilting sash, wherein the axis of sash rotation in relation to the frame is located in the frame section which projects from the surface of roofing.
- the axis of sash rotation is located on preferably parallel and opposite framing members of the frame.
- the hinges comprise a frame portion set in the frame and a sash portion set in the sash. Both portions of the hinge have mounting plates with holes for screws fastening to the frame or the sash respectively. Both mounting plates have members which allow their pivotal connection.

- Its length I which refers to the dimension substantially perpendicular to the principal plane of the window, is adjusted to the frame depth so that it substantially does not project over the contour of the frame member.
- An essential feature of the invention is the arrangement of the means fastening the reinforcement plate to the frame below the window installation plane. Width of the reinforcement plate is not essential for this description. The dimension, however, should provide a sufficiently large surface for positioning means used to fasten the reinforcement plate to the frame, and sufficient mechanical strength.

Description
- The present invention relates to a roof with a roof window equipped with a reinforced-structure hinge which hinders the sash being forced open out of the frame. Depending on the detailed solution, a hinge of this type may be applied in all types of roof windows. The problem with roof windows is their poor resistance to burglary, wherein the sash is forced open out of the frame. This is usually achieved by breaking off the hinge, which is not secured in conventional solutions, from the frame, as this is relatively easy if done with a crowbar. In windows having their structure partially projecting from the surface of roofing, it is even simpler to force open the hinge as the seat with the set hinge is located in the upper frame section which is only covered by flashing. This is particularly true for roof windows with a horizontally-rotating sash or pivot sash or tilting sash, wherein the axis of sash rotation is located in the frame part projecting from the surface of roofing. According to EN 12519, horizontally-rotating windows have hinges arranged in side framing members, whereas pivot windows - in top and bottom framing members. Since both horizontally-rotating windows and pivot windows are referred to as pivot windows in the subject literature relating to roof windows, this term shall be used further herein. In pivot windows having horizontally-rotating sashes, the axis of sash rotation is usually arranged on parallel opposite side framing members between the top and bottom framing members which are opposite to each other. Hinges for pivot windows are known, comprising a part mounted on the frame and a part mounted on the sash. Each part of the hinge has a mounting plate with holes for screws fastening that part to the frame or to the sash frame respectively. Each mounting plate is provided with members connecting both plates so that the mounting plates can rotate relative to each other.
- Dual action roof windows are also known, wherein the tilting axis is at the upper framing member of the frame and the rotation axis is in the middle section of the sash, located at a small distance from the glazing surface, wherein only one (tilting or pivotal) function may be usually used at a time.
- Roof windows are externally fitted with guards, usually made of metal sheet, protecting the frame and the sash frame against an adverse impact of weather conditions. Such guards also impede burglar's intrusion while attempting to force open the sash. These guards, however, provide no protection against such an action, and for known solutions of wooden windows, it is easy to force open the sash together with the hinge, usually fastened in the framing member at a shallow depth, by applying force to break it out or to pull off the frame section projecting from the surface of roofing.
- A solution disclosed in another application no.
WO 2010005330 A2 is known, wherein the hinge of the pivot roof window comprises reinforcement elements to improve hinge fastening both in the sash and in the window frame. Mounting plates of the hinge have perpendicularly bent sections, flushed into bodies of the sash frame and the frame with through holes for screw fixing. This solution considerably improves quality and durability of the connection of the hinge with the sash and the frame. However, this is not an effective protection against forcing open the hinge together with a frame section. Such a protection may be provided by the solution disclosed in another application no.EP 2426305 A1 . The wooden frame, whose side framing member with a mounted hinge is shown, being made of several glued layers of wood, has a metal clamp protecting it against splitting or other mechanical action to have it divided and force open the hinge. - The metal clamp is bent to obtain the L shape or a channel bar is provided, flushed into the side member body, arranged on the inner side of the frame, and providing reinforcement in the section used to set and fix the hinge. The application of glued wooden profiles makes it easier to integrate the clamp into the side member body. This solution reinforces this frame section and provides a significant obstacle during an attempt to force open the pivot hinge of the roof window. This solutions, however, is not effective if an attempt is made to split the wooden frame and to break off its entire section projecting from the surface of roofing in the vicinity of the hinge.
- To prevent breaking of the wooden frame,
WO 2004/005642 A1 discloses the features of the roof window of the preamble ofclaim 1. - It is therefore the object of the present solution to provide for a roof with a roof window hinge with higher burglary resistance.
- The essence of the invention is that the reinforcement plate which is located on the external side surface of the frame, and which is connected with the hinge preferably with anchor bolts, is fastened to the frame by fastening means placed below the window installation plane. Substantially, the plane of window installation is the upper external plane of roof structure, determined by elements of roof structure, most frequently a batten, board or plate to which the frame is fastened.
- The hinge assembly with the reinforcement plate may be applied in all types of roof windows as a protection against forcing open the hinge out of the frame, in particular in windows the structure of which projects from the surface of roofing. This particularly applies to roof windows with a horizontally-rotating or pivot or tilting sash, wherein the axis of sash rotation in relation to the frame is located in the frame section which projects from the surface of roofing.
- In roof windows with a horizontally-rotating or pivot sash according to the invention, the axis of sash rotation is located on preferably parallel and opposite framing members of the frame. The hinges comprise a frame portion set in the frame and a sash portion set in the sash. Both portions of the hinge have mounting plates with holes for screws fastening to the frame or the sash respectively. Both mounting plates have members which allow their pivotal connection.
- The frame mounting plate is set in the mounting seat and has at least one hole for anchor bolts. The anchor bolt joins the frame mounting plate with the reinforcement plate which is substantially set on the external side surface of the frame. To establish the connection, it is necessary that, in assembled position, mounting holes in the frame mounting plate, through holes in the frame and holes in the reinforcement plate are coaxial. The connection of the reinforcement plate with the frame mounting plate by means of anchor bolts should be made so that they cannot be unscrewed from the external side of the frame. One of possible solutions it to use anchor bolts, the heads of which have a shape preventing unscrewing from the outside, e.g. cup head, arranged on the external side of the frame. It is also possible to make threaded holes in the reinforcement plate and drive in anchor bolts from the side of the frame mounting plate.
- The reinforcement plate is an element made of a metal sheet strip with mounting holes and holes for means used for fastening to the frame. Its length I, which refers to the dimension substantially perpendicular to the principal plane of the window, is adjusted to the frame depth so that it substantially does not project over the contour of the frame member. An essential feature of the invention is the arrangement of the means fastening the reinforcement plate to the frame below the window installation plane. Width of the reinforcement plate is not essential for this description. The dimension, however, should provide a sufficiently large surface for positioning means used to fasten the reinforcement plate to the frame, and sufficient mechanical strength. To provide means for fastening the reinforcement plate to the wooden frame, preferably screws driven in the frame body through the mounting holes may be used.
- To provide additional fastening reinforcement of the frame portion of the hinge in the frame, one of window frame brackets may be used, fastening the same to the reinforcement plate. The bracket is substantially a metal sheet angle section used to fasten the window frame to the roof structural member, which is preferably entirely located below the plane of window installation. One arm of the bracket is fastened to the reinforcement plate or to the frame through the reinforcement plate, whereas another arm is positioned so that the mounting plane is substantially parallel to the surface of the roof structural member on which the same arm is set and to which it is fastened.
- Alternatively, the reinforcement plate has a transverse arm with holes for fastening means for connection with the roof structure, the arm being bent at a substantially right angle relative to the plane of the reinforcement plate, the mounting surface of the arm being substantially parallel to the plane of the roof structural member on which the transverse arm is set and to which it is fastened.
- The transverse arm in one of possible solutions is preferably formed by making preferably two cuts which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of window installation, and then the section of the installation plate so separated is bent relative to the bending axis which is substantially parallel to the frame edge.
- In this way indirect fastening of the hinge to the roof structure is obtained, using elements of higher mechanical strength, which, in addition, considerably improves anti-lift protection of the roof window hinge.
- A roof with a roof window according to the invention, installed within the roof structure, with the sash in closed position, is presented in the following figures:
-
Fig. 1 - Isometric view of the frame assembly with a complete hinge of the pivot roof window installed within the roof structure. -
Fig. 2 - Cross section through a portion of the roof window with a pivot sash, equipped with a reinforcement plate the length of which does not project over the contour of the frame. -
Fig. 3 - Cross section through a portion of the roof window section with a pivot sash, equipped with a reinforcement plate the length of which does not project over the contour of the frame and a bracket used to connect the frame with the roof structure. -
Fig. 4 - Cross section through a portion of the roof window with a pivot sash, equipped with a reinforcement plate with a transverse arm, the functionality of which is as in the combination of the reinforcement plate and the mounting plate shown inFig. 3 . - A roof with a window comprising a hinge with higher burglary resistance in the first embodiment, shown in the cross section in
Fig. 2 , has a window with a horizontally-rotatingsash 1 set onhinges 2, wherein the axis ofsash rotation 1 is preferably located on parallel oppositeside framing members 3 between the top member 4 and thebottom member 5 which are opposite. Thehinge 2 comprises a frame section, set in theside framing member 3 and a sash section, set in thesash 1. Thesash mounting plate 21 is used to set and fasten thehinge 2 in thesash 1, whereas theframe mounting plate 22 is used to set and fasten thehinge 2 in theside framing member 3. Both hinge mounting plates - thesash mounting plate 21 and the frame mounting plate 22 - have holes for screws fastening the plates to thesash frame 1 or to theside framing member 3 of the frame accordingly. In addition, both mounting plates have members used to connect them pivotally. - The
frame mounting plate 22 is set within the mountingseat 31 and has twoinstallation holes 23 for theanchor bolts 6. The role of the mountingseat 31 is to retain and hold the setframe mounting plate 22 precisely and permanently. This is achieved, as the solution may be, by an assembly of retaining elements such as pins, screws, bolts and supports not shown in detail in the drawings. Theanchor bolts 6 connect theframe mounting plate 22 with thereinforcement plate 7, set on the external side surface of theside framing member 3. Thereinforcement plate 7 is a flat, preferably rectangular, sheet metal strip with threadedholes 71 which are coaxial relative to the mountingholes 23 and preferably with throughholes 32 in theframe 3. The length / of thereinforcement plate 7, i.e. the dimension in the direction substantially perpendicular to the principal plane of the window, is adjusted to the frame depth so that it does not project over the contour of the framingmember 3. - The
reinforcement plate 7 has at least two points for fastening to theside framing member 3 in the form ofscrews 8 driven throughholes 72 to theside framing member 3. The said points fastening thereinforcement plate 7 are located in the lower portion of theside framing member 3, below the plane of window installation. Width of the reinforcement plate is sized to provide for sufficient area for the threadedholes 71 and holes 72 as well as sufficient mechanical strength. Upper surfaces of the roof structural members, determine the window installation plane 9. - A roof with a roof window comprising a hinge of higher burglary resistance in second embodiment, shown in the cross-section view in
Fig. 3 , has all elements shown and described in first embodiment. An additional element in this solution is thebracket 10, which provides additional reinforcement for the fastening of theframe mounting plate 22. Thebracket 10 is an angle section made of bent sheet metal, whosevertical arm 101 is fastened withscrews 81 to theside framing member 3 through theholes 72. Thehorizontal arm 102 of thebracket 10 is substantially perpendicular to thevertical arm 101 and substantially parallel to the surface 9 of the roof structural member (battens, plates, etc.) on which thehorizontal arm 102 is set and to which it is fastened. In this way indirect fastening of thehinge 2 to the roof structure is obtained, using elements of higher mechanical strength, which, in addition, considerably improves anti-lift protection for the roof window. Upper surfaces of the roof structural members on which thehorizontal arms 102 of thebrackets 10 are set on both sides of the frame determine the window installation plane 9. - A roof with a roof window comprising a hinge of higher burglary resistance in third embodiment, shown in the cross-section view in
Fig. 4 , substantially has the same functionality as the solution presented in second embodiment. Thebracket 10, being a separate element of the assembly is replaced by atransverse arm 73 which serves as thehorizontal arm 102 in second embodiment. In this embodiment thetransverse arm 73 is a uniform element with areinforcement plate 7 being part of the same. Thetransverse arm 73 is bent at a substantially right angle relative to the plane of thereinforcement plate 7. The installation surface of thetransverse arm 73 is preferably parallel to the surface 9 of the roof structural member on which thetransverse arm 73 is set and to which it is fastened. The upper surfaces of the roof structural members on which thehorizontal arms 73 of thereinforcement plates 7 are set on both sides of the frame, determine the window installation plane 9. Thetransverse arm 73 preferably has holes for means fastening to the roof structure. Thetransverse arm 73 is formed by making preferably two cuts which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of window installation, and then the section of thelower reinforcement plate 7 so separated is bent relative to the bending axis which is substantially parallel to the frame edge. Alternation at the manufacturing stage of the location of the bending axis of thetransverse arm 73 allows determining the setting depth of the window in the roof.
