Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a roof window comprising a frame having a plurality of frame members including a top member, two side members and a bottom member, a sash having a plurality of sash members including a top member, two side members and a bottom member, of which at least the sash top member includes a separate sash top unit forming part of or constituting the sash top member, and at least one ventilation device including a plurality of ventilation openings to provide ventilation between an exterior side and an interior side of the window.
- Such windows come in a number of varieties and models. Typically, the windows are generally equipped with operating means as well as ventilation means. Some roof windows are provided with a ventilation flap rotatably connected to the sash, which at the same time fulfils the role of operating means to release and activate a lock cooperating with the frame.
- In combination with a top sash unit connected to the outer side of the sash, the solution with a pivotally connected ventilation flap has proven to function particularly well as describe in for instance Applicant's European patent No.
EP 2 751 355 B1 - However, in some roof windows, it is desirable to provide the roof window with a ventilation device of simpler kind, and to separate the operation of the opening of the window from the ventilation device.
- It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a roof window, in which the ventilation through the sash top member is satisfactory but which at the same time makes it possible to provide a flexible solution.
- This is achieved with a roof window of the kind mentioned in the introduction, which is further characterised by the features of the
claim 1. - By forming the ventilation device in the sash top unit and at the same time allowing the ventilation device to be releasably inserted into and removed from the sash top unit, a number of advantages are obtained. Based on the recognition that the need for maintenance or even replacement of components of the ventilation device surpasses the maintenance interval of other parts of the roof window, it is now easy and flexible to simply remove the ventilation device from the top sash unit, and then either re-introduce the same ventilation device, or a new one, when needed. The releasable engagement by non-positive engagement only, renders the use of structure penetrating fastening means such as screws redundant. This is particularly an advantage in those circumstances that the top sash unit is made of a plastic material.
- The ventilation device has a longitudinal configuration extending between a first end and a second end, a length dimension being defined between the first and second ends substantially in parallel with a length direction of the sash top member, a height dimension perpendicular to the length dimension substantially in parallel with a width direction of the sash top member, and a thickness dimension perpendicular to the length dimension substantially in parallel with a thickness direction of the sash top member. This provides for a relatively wide ventilation opening, while at the same time retaining a discreet appearance of the ventilation device.
- The engagement means are positioned at one or both of said first and second end and comprise at least one biasing device connected to the ventilation device and contacting the top sash unit of the sash top member in frictional engagement. This provides for excellent retention of the ventilation device in the top sash unit, while at the same time making retraction of the ventilation device easy and logical.
- Furthermore, the top sash unit is provided with a track to accommodate the ventilation device, and the top sash unit is provided with a plurality of ventilation openings to match the ventilation openings of the ventilation device. This improves the ventilation conditions even further.
- In a preferred embodiment, the top sash unit forms part of the sash top member and has a longitudinal extension defining a length exceeding the length of the at least one ventilation device, and the top sash unit is connected to the remaining parts of the sash top member at a respective longitudinal end. By this design, manufacturing and assembly of the sash top member is facilitated. For instance, the remaining members of the sash may be manufactured in a separate step, and the sash top member including the top sash unit may be connected to the remaining members subsequently.
- In one development of this preferred embodiment, the top sash unit is accommodated in a recessed portion of the sash top member and is held by its longitudinal ends to a respective end portion of the sash top member, the end portions of the sash top member being optionally formed by extended portions of the sash side members, by means of a flange portion of the top sash unit contacting an abutment portion associated to a transition portion. This provides for a reliable and inconspicuous connection. In a further development, the top sash unit is fastened to the remaining parts of the sash top member by means of fastening means, such as screws, introduced through a plurality of apertures.
- In another presently preferred embodiment, the sash top member is provided with an additional set of ventilation openings, preferably in the form of a first plurality of vent slits facing the top sash unit and a second plurality of vent slits in connection with the first plurality of vent slits and facing the interior side of the window. In this way, the through-flow area accessible for air is increased without compromising the overall functioning and appearance of the roof window.
- Other presently preferred embodiments and further advantages will be apparent from the subsequent detailed description and drawings.
- In the following description embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the schematic drawings, in which

Thesash 2 comprises, corresponding to theframe 1, a sashtop member 21, twosash side members sash bottom member 24. In principle, the hinge axis could be located arbitrarily in the roof window, but is here substantially centre-hinged. The roof window could be top-hinged as well, meaning that the hinge axis is located near the frametop member 11 and the sashtop member 21. - From the shown closed position, the user operates the operating device of the window, here in the form of a
handle 5 at thebottom member 24 of thesash 2. Further details of thehandle 5 are the subject of Applicant's copending patent application having the same filing date as the present application, and the contents thereof are incorporated herein by reference. - Finally, the roof window is provided with a
ventilation device 6 accommodated in atop sash unit 7, acting to allow passage of air also in the closed position of the window. - In the following, embodiments of the roof window will be described with particular focus on the ventilation device and the top sash unit. It is recognised that the

second fastening portions respective engagement portion bridge portion 690. - Each
engagement portion teeth - Other details include opening 696 in
plane section 695 of eachfastening portion engagement portions - Referring in particular to
Fig. 11 , the back side of theventilation device 6 comprises anend block 680 at eachlongitudinal end second ledge bars 66 separating theventilation openings 67 extend in the height direction between the first andsecond ledges - Simple fastening of the
spring lever 6 to the remaining parts of theventilation device 6 is here obtained in that the respective folded sections forming the first andsecond fastening portions second ledge ventilation device 6. - The parts of the
ventilation device 6 are typically made of moulded plastic parts. However, the biasing means, here thespring lever 69, may be made of metal, for instance spring steel. - Finally, returning to
Fig. 4 , it is shown how thesash top member 21 is provided with an additional set of ventilation openings, preferably in the form of a first plurality of vent slits, here in the form of recess vent slits 214, facing thetop sash unit 7 and a second plurality of vent slits, here in the form of inner vent slits 215, in connection with the recess vent slits 214 and facing the interior side of the window. Thesash 2 is also provided with alock bolt 216 interacting with an aperture (not shown) in the frame, for holding thesash 2 parked in a ventilation or cleaning position. - The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and described in the above, but various modifications and combinations may be carried out.
