Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to a window adapted for being installed in an inclined roof.
  • the window comprises a window frame in which a top-hinged upper window sash and a bottom-hinged lower window sash are installed.
  • the window further comprises collapsible side railings connected to the window frame and the lower window sash. The side railings are collapsed when the lower window sash is in the closed position and extended when the lower window sash is in the open position.
  • Balcony roof windows having a window frame, an upper window sash, and a lower window sash may be a cost effective and labor efficient substitute for a traditional balcony.
  • the space closest to the roof foot can be used as a balcony when the window sashes are opened outwards.
  • the lower window sash functions as a balcony breast wall, while protective side railings, extending between frame and lower window sash, function as balcony side walls.
  • EP0518988 discloses such a balcony roof window wherein the side railing is designed such that the window, in a relatively simple manner, can be adapted for being installed in inclined roof surfaces of varying inclinations.
  • a roof window is adapted for being installed in an inclined roof, the window comprising a window frame in which a top-hinged upper window sash and a bottom-hinged lower window sash are installed, the window frame comprising a top member, a bottom member, and at least two side members, each window sash comprising a top member, a bottom member, and two side members, the upper window sash being hinged adjacent to the window frame top member by means of at least one hinge mechanism, the lower window sash being hinged adjacent to the window frame bottom member by means of at least one hinge mechanism, each window sash being adapted for pivoting between at least one open position and a closed position, the roof window further comprising two collapsible side railings, each side railing being connected to a window frame side member and a lower window sash side member, the side railings being collapsed when the lower window sash is in the closed position and extended when the lower window sash is in the open position(s), at least
  • Providing one, or both, sash(es) of a roof window with electrically driven actuators facilitates automatic opening and closing of the window. This is not only a comfortable solution for everyday use, but especially advantageous for persons having difficulties manoeuvring a window manually. It is also an advantage seen from an environmental perspective, since the window can be set to open or close automatically, e.g. preventing the window being left open unintentionally. A further advantage from a safety perspective is automatic closing due to weather conditions such as wind or rain. Since at least one actuator part extends in parallel with window frame side member, this part does not protrude into the interior of the building. Such a solution is not visible from the interior, at least when the window is closed, providing a more aesthetic window.
  • the roof window further comprises at least one electrically driven upper actuator, comprising an electric drive motor, arranged to pivot the upper window sash between the open and closed positions, allowing both window sashes to be operated automatically.
  • at least one electrically driven upper actuator comprising an electric drive motor, arranged to pivot the upper window sash between the open and closed positions, allowing both window sashes to be operated automatically.
  • the first hand rail end is slidingly and pivotally connected to the lower window sash side member, and the second hand rail end is pivotally connected to the window frame side member, allowing another simple solution for moving the lower window sash, and the side railing, along the window frame.
  • the side rail is arranged, at least partially, along an outer side of the window frame side member, providing a window in which the side rail is invisible from the inside.
  • the hand rail is arranged such that it is offset past a front face of the window frame, when the lower window sash is in the closed position, allowing the roof window be provided with standard window frame elements since the provision of a hand rail does not affect the external dimensions of the window.
  • the lower window sash side member comprises at least one flashing, a part of the flashing covering a gap between the lower window sash side member and an adjacent window frame side member, providing a waterproof seal of the gap towards the interior.
  • At least one of the first and second actuator parts is arranged inside the window frame side member, improving the aesthetics of the window and protecting the electric components.
  • the first and second actuator parts extend in parallel with the window frame side member such that the actuator parts do not protrude past the external dimensions of the side member, in a direction perpendicular to a face of the window frame, when the lower window sash is in the closed position.
  • Such a solution is invisible from the interior of the room when the window is closed, providing a more aesthetic window.
  • At least one of the hinge mechanisms is integral with the electrically driven upper actuator and/or the electrically driven lower actuator, allowing a hinge mechanism which is invisible as well as reinforced by the actuator.
  • the first actuator part is stationary and the second actuator part is moveable. This way, the more stable housing of the actuator may be fixedly and securely attached to the window frame, providing a stable solution.
  • the second actuator part is connected to either the lower window sash, which increases the simplicity of the solution, or to the second hand rail end, allowing the actuator to both operate a hand rail lock and pivot the sash, sequentially.
  • the lower actuator comprising a spindle actuator.
  • a spindle actuator is a well-tried and reliable solution.
  • a linkage mechanism is arranged between the lower window sash and the second actuator part.
  • the use of an intermediate linkage mechanism allows the actuator to connect to any suitable part of the lower window sash, increasing the flexibility of the solution.
  • the lower actuator comprises a chain actuator, the first actuator part being an actuator housing.
  • a chain actuator is a highly cost-effective solution which has a strong holding/locking force when the sash is closed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a first embodiment of a roof window, wherein the roof window is in a fully open position.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same roof window from the side and in a closed position.
  • the roof window 1 is a so-called balcony window which is to be installed in an inclined roof.
  • the roof window 1 comprises a window frame 2, which is to be installed in the roof such that the plane of the window frame 2 substantially aligns with the plane of the roof.
  • a top-hinged upper window sash 3 and a bottom-hinged lower window sash 4 are installed in the window frame 2.
  • the window frame 2 comprises a top member 2a, a bottom member 2b, and at least two side members 2c, 2d, each side member extending between the top member and the bottom member.
  • Each window sash 3, 4 comprises a top member 3a, 4a, a bottom member 3b, 4b, and two side members 3c, 3d, 4c, 4d.
  • Each window frame side member 2c, 2d may comprise an upper side member part 2ca, 2da and a lower side member part 2cb, 2db, the upper side member part 2ca, 2da extending in parallel with the upper window sash 3 and the lower side member part 2cb, 2db extending in parallel with the lower window sash 4, when the upper and lower window sashes 3, 4 are in the closed position.
  • the window frame in this embodiment, is essentially divided into an upper U-shaped part and a lower U-shaped part.
  • the top member 3a of the upper window sash 3 is hinged, by means of at least one hinge mechanism 13, adjacent to the top member 2a of the window frame 2a, and the bottom member 4b of the lower window sash 4 is hinged, by means of at least one similar hinge mechanism 13, adjacent to the bottom member 2b of the window frame 2.
  • the window sash top members 3a, 4a, the window frame top member 2a, the window sash bottom members 3b, 4b, and the window frame bottom member 2b in other words, extend in parallel with each other.
  • the upper window sash 3 is connected to the window frame 2 such that it can be pivoted between at least one open position, shown in Figs. 1 and 3-9 , and a closed position, shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the lower window sash 4 is, correspondingly, connected to the window frame 2 such that it can be pivoted between at least one open position, shown in Figs. 1 and 3-9 , and a closed position, shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the lower window sash 4 may, simultaneously with the pivoting movement, be moved obliquely downwards from the bottom member 2b of the window frame 2.
  • the lower window sash 4 is hinged adjacent to the bottom member 2b of the window frame 2 in such a way that the bottom member 4b of the lower window sash 4 is displaced downwards from the bottom member of the window frame 2b and substantially parallel to the plane of the window frame 2, when being opened, while correspondingly being displaced upwards towards the bottom member of the window frame 2b and substantially parallel to the plane of the window frame 2, when being closed.
  • the side railing 6 comprises a hand rail 7 with a first hand rail end 7a which is pivotally connected to an upper section of a lower window sash side member 4c, 4d.
  • the opposite, second hand rail end 7b is pivotally and slidably connected to the window frame side member 2c, 2d.
  • the hand rail 7 When the lower window sash 4 is moved from the open position to the closed position, the hand rail 7 is collapsed such that the first hand rail end 7a pivots on the lower window sash side member 4c, 4d, while the second hand rail end 7b pivots on, and slides along, the window frame side member 2c, 2d in a direction from the lower window sash 3, see Figs. 3 and 4 .
  • the side rail 6, including the hand rail 7, is arranged along an outer side of the window frame side member 2c, 2d such that the side rail 6 extends, substantially, in parallel with the window frame side member 2c, 2d when the lower window sash is in the closed position.
  • the side rail 6, is arranged at least partially in the gap between the lower window sash side member 4c, 4d and the adjacent window frame side member 2c, 2d, i.e. along an inner side of the window frame side member 2c, 2d such that the side rail 6 extends, substantially, in parallel with the window frame side member 2c, 2d when the lower window sash is in the closed position.
  • a passive lock can be engaged and/or released by the second actuator part 9b, 10b, e.g. by guiding a pin in a groove with a locking path toward the end.
  • An active lock can be engaged and/or released by a discrete electric means such as a magnet, a solenoid, or a small motor. Such electric means are preferably arranged on the window frame side member 2c, 2d.
  • the lock may further be configured for manual override such that a person can, at least, release the lock without the use of electricity, e.g. by means of a lever or a pin.
  • the first actuator part 10a and the second actuator part 10b both extend along the window frame side member 2c, 2d, in the longitudinal direction of the frame side member 2c, 2d, and are both substantially parallel with the inner and outer sides of the window frame side members 2c, 2d, regardless of the position of the lower window sash 4.
  • the first actuator part 10a is secured to a side member 2c, 2d of the window frame 2, while the second actuator part 10b is slidingly connected to the first actuator part 10a. Further, one end of the second actuator part 10b is pivotally connected to the second hand rail end 7b.
  • the lower actuator 10 of the lower window sash 4 is a chain actuator, also referred to as a push-pull chain actuator.
  • the major part of the second actuator part 10b is pushed out of the first actuator part 10a towards an end stop defined during window installation.
  • the second actuator part 10b is pulled towards the interior of the first actuator part 10a, in a direction towards the top member 2a of the window frame 2.
  • the movement of the linkage mechanism 8 causes the lower window sash 3 to pivot inwards towards the plane of the window frame 2, Subsequently, the second hand rail end 7b is moved in the same direction.
  • the entire side railing 6 is turned/folded into the window frame 2 such that it is substantially aligned with the plane of the window frame 2, as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the first actuator part/wire and windup 10a is connected to both a window frame side member 2c, 2d and to a second hand rail end 7b.
