Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roof window having a frame and a sash, comprising a set of hinges, each hinge including a frame hinge part and a sash hinge part configured to assume an angle relative to the frame hinge part, a covering arrangement including a frame side covering element and a sash side covering element arranged to cover at least said hinge, and a hinge and covering assembly for mounting the covering arrangement on the hinge including at least one snap connection.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method of providing a hinge and covering assembly.
  • roof windows may be provided in a number of varieties and include more or less complicated structures in order to allow opening of the sash and to fulfil other functions, such as ventilation, while permitting cleaning of the outside of the pane from inside the building.
  • the varieties include roof windows of the pivoting type, the hinge axis being either located at the centre or displaced from the centre of the window, and top-hung roof windows that pivot for cleaning by means of an intermediate frame.
  • the covering elements thus generally comprise at least two parts, one for covering the sash hinge part and one covering the frame hinge part.
  • the covering elements are designed to protect the hinge and interior parts of the window from amongst other things weather, dirt and grime, since this may cause the hinge to rust and in worst case cause the window to leak rain water and thereby possibly cause damage.
  • the two covering elements are designed to allow an angular motion relative to each other, while opening and closing the window.
  • the covering elements are most often attached by fastening the covering element onto the corresponding parts of the hinge, or the frame or sash itself, by fastening elements such as screws.
  • a roof window incorporating an improved fastening means is shown in Applicant's EP 2 751 354 B1 .
  • a male part of the fastening means connected to the covering element engages the female part in the form of a plastic fitting connected to the hinge.
  • both the male and the female part are made of a plastic material, of which the male part is attached to the covering element by means of a rivet, typically a blind or pop rivet.
  • WO 2013/050043 A1 corresponding to the closest prior art
  • EP 2507588 A2 is shown in documents WO 2013/050043 A1 , corresponding to the closest prior art.
  • a roof window of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterised in that the snap connection of the hinge and covering assembly comprises at least one snap anchor connected to the covering arrangement and configured for releasable connection directly to at least one holding clip integral with the hinge and arranged to receive said at least one snap anchor.
  • the other components of the hinge with an integral holding clip may be of a kind featured in Applicant's co-pending application with the same filing date as the current application, although the hinge and covering assembly may be adaptable to basically any type of hinge to improve installation of the covering elements, as long as the hinge is modified accordingly. Finally, the need for tools and additional elements while installing the covering arrangement is reduced.
  • a method of providing a hinge and covering assembly in a roof window having a frame and a sash is provided.
  • the window comprises a sash 2 carrying a glazing in the form of a pane 3 and a frame 1.
  • the window is intended to be built into a surface, which is inclined with respect to the horizontal, typically a roof, and the window will in the following be referred to as roof window.
  • the hinge connection in Fig. 1 comprises a set of two prior art hinges, of which one hinge 10' is visible.
  • the frame 1 and sash 2 is each formed by four members of which one frame side member 1 a and one sash side member 2a are indicated.
  • the sash 2 is openable with respect to the frame 1, as the sash 2 may be moved from a closed position, in which e.g. the sash side member 2a is substantially parallel with the frame side member 1 a, to an open position, in which the sash side member 2a forms an angle with the frame side member 1 a.
  • the sash 2 rotates about a hinge axis ⁇ situated at the hinge connection.
  • the hinge axis ⁇ is located between a centre axis and the top of the roof window, preferably in the interval 1/3 to 2/3 of the distance between the centre axis and the top, most preferred substantially at 1/2 of the distance between the centre axis and the top.
  • Other positions of the hinge axis are of course conceivable, for instance at the centre of the roof window.
  • hinges that the invention is applicable to include pivot hinges are for instance disclosed in Applicant's EP 1 038 083 B1 and EP 1 781 883 B1 , which are very versatile as regards operational areas and adaptation of components. Examples of roof windows incorporating such adapted hinges are shown in Applicant's published European patent applications EP 2 770 146 A1 and EP 2 770 149 A1 . From a closed position, the user operates the operating device of the window.
  • the operating device typically comprises a handle (not shown) connected with the sash bottom member and/or an operating and locking assembly including a ventilation flap at the sash top member with a lock mechanism to interact with a striking plate on the frame top member.
  • the hinge 10 exerts a moment on the sash 2, and in combination with the force, and hence moment, exerted by the user operating the operating device, the moment resulting from the weight of the sash 2 and pane 3 is overcome, along with any frictional forces present.
  • the opening operation entails that the sash 2 is moved from a closed position to an open position as represented by Fig. 1 , in which the sash plane forms an opening angle with the frame plane.
  • Closing the window from the open position entails the opposite movement of the sash 2. It is possible to position the sash 2 in a number of arbitrary opening positions, in which the sash 2 is held stable relative to the frame 1. The sash 2 is also able to be rotated substantially through 180° to allow cleaning of the outside of the pane 3 from the inside of the building in which the roof window is installed.
  • the roof window comprises a covering, including flashing members (not shown), cladding and covering elements of which a frame side covering element 1 b' and sash side covering element 2b' are shown.
  • the parts of the covering of the prior art roof window are connected to the frame and the sash, and to the hinge in a hinge and covering assembly as described in detail in the above-mentioned embodiment of EP 2 751 354 B1 .
  • a hinge and covering assembly 50 of the roof window according to the invention will be described in detail.
  • the hinge 10 comprises a frame hinge part 100 and a sash hinge part 200 configured to assume an angle relative to the frame hinge part 100.
  • the hinge 10 forms part of a set of hinges, of which the frame hinge part 100 of each hinge 10 is configured to be fastened to the frame side member 1 a of the frame 1 of the window at a location chosen to provide the desired position of the hinge axis ⁇ , and the sash hinge part 200 is correspondingly configured to be fastened to the sash side member 2a.
  • the frame hinge part 100 comprises a base plate 110 and the sash hinge part 200 a base plate 210. Fastening of the hinge to the respective frame and sash side members may take place in any suitable manner, for instance as in Applicant's co-pending patent application having the same filing date as the present application.
  • connection of the frame side covering element 1b and sash side covering element 2b to the respective hinge part 100, 200 is carried out by a snap connection 60, 70.
  • the snap connection 70 is carried out by introducing a snap anchor 80 connected to the covering element 1 b into a holding clip 90 connected to the base plate 110 of the frame hinge part 100 of the hinge 10.
  • the snap anchor 80 is generally pre-mounted onto a covering element 2b, 1b and the covering element may subsequently, after successfully installing the hinge 10, be snapped in place. This operation may save a lot of time to the installer, as well as the need for loose fastening elements is eliminated. Referring back to Fig. 2 , in which it also emerges how the frame side covering element 1 b and sash side covering element 2b interact with each other; a cranked portion 2c of the sash side covering element 2b ensures a tight and flush transition between the sash side covering element 2b and the frame side covering element 1 b in the closed position of the roof window.
  • the movement pattern of the hinge allows that the sash side covering element 2b is able to be retracted from its position under the frame side covering element 1 b during the opening movement of the sash 2 relative to the frame 1, and conversely, be inserted under the frame side covering element 1 b at the final stage of the closing movement.
  • Fig. 4 shows a snap connection 70 of the base plate 110 of the frame hinge part 100.
  • the snap connection 60 may be identical on the sash hinge part 200, and therefore a view of any of the snap connections 60, 70 is representative.
  • the same snap anchor 80 can be used on either of the holding clips 90.
  • the snap connections 60, 70 may be arranged in different angles or orientations depending on where the connections are to be.
  • the holding clips 90 are preferably also symmetrical.
  • the snap anchor 80 is thus connected to the covering arrangement 1b, 2b and configured for releasable connection directly to a respective holding clip 90 integral with the hinge 10 and arranged to receive the respective snap anchor 80.
  • variations may occur without compromising the idea underlying the invention.
  • Fig. 4 it is shown how the snap anchor 80 is to be arranged in the corresponding holding clip 90.
  • the frame hinge part 100 and the sash hinge part 200 each comprises a base plate 110, 210, and the holding clip 90 is formed in the base plate 110, 210 of the respective hinge part 100, 200.
  • Each holding clip 90 comprises a receiving portion 91 and an anchor engagement portion 92.
  • the receiving portion 91 of the holding clip 90 is here substantially U-shaped and comprises two opposing supporting surfaces 93 extending between a respective upper end surface 95 and the anchor engagement portion 92. Introduction of the snap anchor 80 into the holding clip 90 is facilitated if at least one of the opposing surfaces 93 is provided with a rounded edge 94 at the transition between the respective upper end surface 95 and the supporting surface 93.
  • the holding clip 90 furthermore has a front side 90a and a back side 90b.
  • each holding clip 90 is in the embodiment shown formed as an offset section comprising at least one side surface 96 and a lower end surface 97.
  • the function and configuration of the holding clip 90 on the frame hinge part base plate 110 is substantially identical as the holding clip on the sash hinge part base plate 210, preferably also symmetrical. Variations are conceivable though.
  • the snap anchor 80 comprises a top surface 85 configured to abut a lower side of the respective covering element 1b, 2b, a guide portion 81 and an engagement portion 82.
  • the guide portion 81 of the snap anchor 80 comprises two opposing guide surfaces 83 to interact with the two opposing supporting surfaces 93 of the receiving portion 91 of the holding clip 90.
  • each guide portion 81 may as shown be provided with a rounded lower edge 81 a.
  • a protruding side wall portion 81 b is also provided at both sides of the guide portion 81.
  • the engagement portion 82 comprises a tongue 88 and two legs 87 extending from the top surface 85 of the snap anchor 80 and meeting in a lower point 87a such that a slot 89 is formed between the legs 87 and the tongue 88.
  • the tongue 88 is in the embodiment shown formed integral with the guide portion 81 of the snap anchor 80 and has a central aperture 88a.
  • the central aperture 88a is present in order to facilitate the manufacturing process.
  • the slot 89 of the engagement portion 82 of the snap anchor 80 surrounds the anchor engagement portion 92 of the holding clip 90 in the mounted condition shown in Fig. 13 .
  • a back surface 88b of the tongue 88 abuts the front surface 98a of the offset section of the anchor engagement portion 92 of the holding clip.
  • the legs 87 of the snap anchor 80 are pre-formed with a bias in a direction away from the tongue 88.
  • the snap anchor 80 comprises at least one resilient arm 86, here two resilient arms 86, connected at a transition portion 86a to the top surface 85 of the snap anchor 80 and having a free end portion 86b.
  • the resilient arms 86 are in the embodiment shown located at a lower level than the top surface 85.
  • the snap anchor 80 When mounting the covering elements 1b, 2b to which the snap anchors 80 have been connected, the snap anchor 80 is introduced into the holding clip 90 as indicated in the above and moved downwards in the receiving portion 91. In order to attain the releasable connection, the engagement portion 82 is moved further downwards until the lower part of the slot 89 is located below the lower end surface 97 of the offset section of the anchor engagement portion 92.
  • the configuration of the snap anchor 80 will support the snap engagement and prevent unwarranted release from the holding clip 90 of the hinge 10.
  • a further factor contributing to enforcing the snap engagement in the mounted condition is the configuration of the legs 87 with a pre-formed bias to force the legs 87 as close to the centre of the snap anchor 80 as possible.
  • the respective line of action of a pulling force acting substantially centrally in the snap anchor 80 on one hand and the reaction force between the legs 87 and lower point 87a with the anchor engagement portion 92 on the other will be located close to each other and hence the resulting moment will be minimized.
  • the lines of actions coincide.
  • stability of the snap anchor 80 in the holding clip 90 and in turn of the associated covering element 1 b is provided by the arrangement of suitable abutment surfaces between back sides of the legs 87 and front sides 90a of the holding clip 90 and between the protruding side wall portions 81b of the guide portion 81 and the back sides 90b of the holding clip 90.
  • these abutment surfaces are all plane and parallel to each other; however, this may be difficult to obtain in practice due to for instance practical considerations during moulding of the snap anchor 80. A sufficient stability is obtained if only opposing abutment surfaces are present though.
  • the snap anchor 80 as in the shown embodiment comprises a grip portion 84 formed at the ends of the legs 87 opposite the top surface 85.
  • connection between the snap anchor 80 and the covering element 1 b, 2b may in principle be carried out in any suitable manner.
  • connection is performed by fastening the snap anchor 80 to the covering element 1 b, 2b as shown in Fig. 14 by introducing a fastening element 55 such as a screw or rivet into the opening 85a in the top surface 85 of the snap anchor 80.
  • a fastening element 55 such as a screw or rivet
  • Such a rivet would be for instance a blind or pop rivet on the covering element 1 b, 2b, further provided with an external thread to engage the opening 85a.
  • Figs 16 and 17 also illustrate the snap connection as mounted.
  • Fig. 17 is a break-out view of the snap connection 70 as seen through covering element 1 b.
