Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a kit for providing a roof light system of the kind mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method of installing a roof light system in a roof.
  • roof windows are typically mounted in a roof surface of the roof, such that incident light falls into the room.
  • façade windows are typically applied as there is no immediate access to the roof surface, or only artificial light if the room has no access to an outer wall.
  • roof windows are typically installed in inclined or more or less flat roof surfaces, such roof windows provide for more light than a corresponding façade window and most often provide an unhindered view of the sky.
  • kit according to claim 1 By forming at least two and possibly all parts of the kit intended to provide the sections of the shaft arrangement by a piece of cloth of a flexible cloth material, a particularly flexible installation is provided.
  • the configuration of the shaft arrangement may in principle be carried out independently of the configuration of the roof module and the ceiling module, depending on the field of application of the roof light system and of the roof surface. Suitable adaptability to accommodate different sizes and configurations is ensured by the fact that each part comprising a piece of cloth of a flexible cloth material is provided with over-dimensions relative to the dimensions of the corresponding section of the shaft arrangement in the mounted condition of the roof light system.
  • section within the context of the present invention should be interpreted in its broadest sense.
  • two or more coherent elements are included in the definition, whether such elements are pre-joined to form two or more adjacent sections in the finished shaft, or integrally formed, to be joined to one or more other such coherent element or elements.
  • section within the context of the present invention, is meant a flat two-dimensional geometric surface, extending in a single plane and being substantially without depths or highs.
  • the shaft provided by the sections of the shaft arrangement in the mounted condition of the roof light system defines a general longitudinal direction extending between the roof module and the ceiling module.
  • the longitudinal direction may be perpendicular to one or both of the ceiling module and/or the roof module, but it is also conceivable that the longitudinal direction forms an angle other than 90° with one or both of the ceiling module and the roof module.
  • a transverse direction of the shaft is defined as perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
  • the shaft does not necessarily fulfil the requirements to a geometrically picture-perfect rectangle in cross-section, but a slight rounding at the edges is foreseen as well.
  • the edges may be slightly curved without deviating from the fundamental principles underlying the invention.
  • the kit comprises at least two pieces of cloth of a flexible cloth material configured to form the side sections of the shaft arrangement.
  • the side sections present the most challenges as they follow the inclination of the roof.
  • the provision of flexible cloth material in these parts has proven to ensure the adaptability aimed at.
  • the piece of cloth of each side section comprises extended portions extending beyond the respective side edge portions, and a surplus length portion extending beyond the bottom edge portion of the respective side section in the mounted condition and/or a surplus length portion extending beyond the top edge portion.
  • each piece of cloth may be rolled up on a roll-up bar, or on itself, in the supply condition.
  • the kit comprises a set of plates of a board material, each plate constituting or being connectable to each of the first and second end sections. This facilitates the installation process in addition to providing stability to the shaft arrangement in the mounted condition.
  • the plate of the respective end sections is covered on the shaft-facing side by a piece of cloth, optionally of substantially the same flexible cloth material as the side sections. This makes the installation logical to the user.
  • side edges of the piece of cloth covering the end sections are unattached at corresponding side edges of the plate and covered by a strip of adhesive tape in the supply condition, the side edges preferably extending beyond the side edges of the plate. This improves the installation conditions even further, since the need for subsequent finishing is reduced.
  • the end sections of the shaft arrangement are provided as a single plate of board material, the width of the single plate of board material corresponding to the predefined width of the end sections in the mounted condition, and wherein the length of the single plate of board material exceeds the combined lengths of the first and second end sections in the mounted condition.
  • the kit comprises a support assembly.
  • the support assembly may comprise a set of brackets configured to be connected to the roof module frame and to the ceiling module frame, and a set of four corner posts adapted to extend from the ceiling module to the roof module in the mounted condition.
  • the kit comprises tightening means, preferably comprising a plurality of tightening elements including an expandable spring, such as a foam spring, in contact with, optionally wrapped in, a bottom edge portion of a section of the shaft arrangement comprising a piece of flexible cloth material.
  • tightening means preferably comprising a plurality of tightening elements including an expandable spring, such as a foam spring, in contact with, optionally wrapped in, a bottom edge portion of a section of the shaft arrangement comprising a piece of flexible cloth material.
  • kits comprises a set of sealing strips.
  • a method of installing a roof light system by means of such a kit is provided.
