Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a skylight window for being installed in a roof of a building, the skylight window comprising: a window frame having four frame side members, an insulating glazing unit (IGU) having multiple layers of glazing, and a window sash having four sash side members supporting the IGU, the IGU having an exposed interior major surface for facing an interior of the building in a closed position of the skylight window, the exposed interior major surface being of an interior pane layer of the IGU, said interior pane layer having a periphery and a first peripheral side, a first of the frame side members being associated with a first of the sash side members, said first frame and sash side members extending in a respective longitudinal direction substantially in parallel with the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer, in a closed position of the skylight window, a height direction being defined as extending perpendicularly to the interior major surface of the IGU in the closed position of the skylight window, an outward direction and an inward direction extending from the first peripheral side in opposite
  • Inclined roof windows are typically built into an opening in an inclined roof structure with an angle above 15 degrees with a substantial part of the inclined roof window positioned within the inclined roof structure in an installed position.
  • Flat roof skylight windows are generally installed on top of the exterior side of flat roofs of buildings, where the inclination of the roof is less than 5 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane.
  • flat roof skylight windows are installed to cover an opening in the roof, i.e. a substantial part of the flat roof skylight window extends above an exterior side of the flat roof structure in an installed position.
  • This roof window comprises a standard VELUX ® outwardly openable window, to the sash of which a dome-shaped weather shield is attached.
  • Window sashes of skylight windows have typically comprised box structures comprising hollow spacings inside in the attempt to at the same time provide structural strength and thermal insulation.
  • a typical example of such structures is presented in US2010269426 .
  • Windows comprising such sashes have typically a quite rough appearance, and the sash structure limits the view. What is more, these windows are usually associated with high materials and processing costs in terms of manufacturing.
  • a further representative skylight window is known from EP 3101195 A1 .
  • first frame side member comprises a cover leg, where, in the closed position of the skylight window, the cover leg is positioned inwards in relation to the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer opposite to the primary leg, and where the cover leg extends from the secondary leg in the height direction towards the interior major surface of the IGU.
  • Providing the cover leg of the first frame side member may cover the peripheral side of the IGU and the first sash side member when seen from an interior of a building in the installed position of the skylight window.
  • the cover leg may present an inward side of the skylight window, which may contribute to increasing the influx of light, e.g. by providing a uniform surface reflecting light. Covering or hiding parts of the IGU or sash may also allow a wider range of materials to be used for these parts as they will not be exposed, which may in turn lead to simpler manufacturing and/or reduced costs of manufacturing.
  • providing the cover leg and the primary leg of the first frame side member on opposite sides of the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer may contribute to the thermal insulation properties of the skylight window, at least by providing a further layer of material providing resistance to heat transport and by impeding air flow in the space between the IGU and the first frame side member.
  • the periphery of the IGU is typically more heat conductive than the rest of the IGU due to the direct contact between pane layers, spacers and sealing members. This may provide a potential "cold bridge" at the sash as it is in direct contact with the IGU periphery.
  • the invention is herein described in relation to one of the sides of the skylight window, namely the first side of the skylight window, which first side is associated with the first frame side member, the first sash side member and the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer. It is understood that the features described in relation to the first side of skylight window can also apply to the remaining sides of the skylight window.
  • the invention is herein described with reference to the longitudinal direction, the height direction and the inwards and outwards directions.
  • the terms exterior and interior are also used, which is understood to be opposite directions in the height direction.
  • the inwards and outwards direction may be seen as opposite directions in a lateral direction, which lateral direction is perpendicular to the height and longitudinal directions.
  • the terms “lower”, “lowermost”, and “bottom” along with “upper”, “uppermost” or “top” are used to describe positions, which are further toward respectively the interior or the exterior of the building in the installed position of the skylight window. "Lowermost” is thus equivalent to “most interior” and "uppermost” to "most exterior”.
  • the term IGU is an abbreviation of "Insulating Glazing Unit” and is a concept well-known to the skilled person.
  • the IGU has multiple layers of glass or glazing, which may be denoted as pane layers.
  • the pane layers may define a potentially sealed volume or spacing between them, the spacing potentially comprising an inert gas, an aerogel, or a vacuum.
  • the IGU may in a conventional manner comprise two, three or more pane layers of, i.e. layers of glass, polycarbonate or the like, or glass panels, which may be positioned at a distance from each other to form one or more spacings or cavities between them. This/these spacing(s) may be filled with a gas or may hold a vacuum to improve insulation properties of the IGU.
  • One or more of the layers of glazing may have a low emissivity coating or coating stack.
  • One or more of the layers of glazing may be laminated e.g. the interior layer of glazing.
  • One or more of the layers of glazing may be tempered.
  • the exposed interior major surface of the IGU is a lower major surface of a lowermost of the pane layers of glazing, which is denoted the interior pane layer.
  • the IGU also has an exterior major surface, which is an upper major surface of an uppermost of the pane layers of glazing, which is denoted the exterior pane layer. The exterior major surface thus faces towards an exterior of the building in the installed position.
  • Sealing and/or supporting members or spacers may be provided at one or more peripheral sides of the IGU between the layers of glazing and may form a so-called spacer frame.
  • the sealing and/or supporting members may distance adjacent layers of glazing from each other and may together with lateral edges of the layers of glazing form respective sides or lateral surfaces of the IGU. These side surfaces may be substantially plane and/or extend substantially in the height direction.
  • the periphery of the IGU is the enclosing boundary of IGU and the peripheral side is a side of such an enclosing boundary.
  • the peripheries of the pane layers of the IGU may have different sizes, such as in the case of a stepped IGU, where one or more pane layers are larger than the others.
  • the first peripheral side is of the interior pane layer of the IGU.
  • the supporting leg of the first sash side member extends below and supports the exposed interior major surface, whereby it supports the IGU.
  • the supporting leg may support the IGU by carrying at least part of the weight of the IGU.
  • the supporting leg of the first frame side member may consist of at least all parts of the first sash side member, which is located within the periphery of the interior pane, i.e. the part which is located below and inwards in relation to the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer.
  • a part of the supporting leg may extend beyond the first peripheral side in the outwards direction.
  • the supporting leg may extend along the entire first peripheral side of the IGU or alternatively along a part of a peripheral side of the IGU.
  • the supporting leg may comprise one or more abutment elements for abutting against the exposed interior major surface of IGU and/or the window frame.
  • the supporting leg may comprise one or more sealing elements for sealing against the exposed interior major surface of the IGU and/or or the window frame.
  • the supporting leg may be attached to the exposed interior major surface by an adhesive.
  • the window sash supports the IGU and may be movable in relation to the window frame between an open and the closed position of the skylight window.
  • the skylight window does not have an open position.
  • the window sash may be made not moveable, i.e. "fixed", by one or more fastening members fastening the window sash to the window frame, whereby an openable and a fixed skylight windows may be made using the same components.
  • Openable skylight windows may comprise a motor driven actuator for moving the window sash between the open and closed positions.
  • the sash may be made movable in relation to the window frame by the sash being side-hung, i.e.
  • the sash moves out from the frame during opening. This is contrary to pivot hung skylights where a part of the sash moves towards the exterior and another part of the sash moves towards the interior during opening.
  • the sash being side-hung may be achieved by using a rotary hinge positioned at a sash side member and connecting this sash side member with an associated, adjacent frame side member.
  • the sash may be parallel-displaceable so that all four sash side members shift toward the exterior or toward the interior downwardly between the open and closed positions of the window in which case further or other hinges or the like connect the sash with the frame.
  • Hinges may be linear displacement mechanisms or multi-link mechanisms.
  • the skylight window may be hinged to open in the exterior direction i.e. away from the interior of the building.
  • the skylight window may be openable by a combination of a rotary movement and a shifting movement or other movement paths of the sash in relation to the frame.
  • the first sash side member may further comprise a second leg.
  • the second leg extends substantially in the height direction next to the periphery of the IGU.
  • the supporting leg may extend from the second leg in the inwards direction.
  • the supporting leg may extend from a lowermost end of the second leg.
  • the supporting leg may extend substantially perpendicularly from the second leg.
  • the first sash side member may further comprise a first leg connected to the second leg of the first sash side member opposite to the supporting leg, i.e. at an uppermost end of the second leg, the supporting leg extending from the lowermost end.
  • the first leg may extend in the outward direction and may connect to a hinge of the skylight window.
  • the first sash side member may be positioned such that the first leg is above the primary leg of the first frame side member, the second leg is in between the primary leg and the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer, and the supporting leg extends below the interior major surface of the IGU.
  • the first leg, second leg and supporting leg of the first sash side member thus forms a stepped structure.
  • the first sash side member and/or the first frame side member may comprise one or more thermal breaks.
  • the one or more thermal breaks may be made from a material of a lower thermal conductivity than other parts of the side member.
  • the one or more thermal breaks may be an insert or a joint joining parts of the side member.
  • the first frame side member comprises the primary leg, the secondary leg and the cover leg.
  • Each of the legs of the first frame side member may be understood as a branch of the first frame side member.
  • the primary, secondary and cover leg of the first frame side member extend in the longitudinal direction along the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer.
  • the primary leg of the first frame side member may be the most outwardly positioned part of the first frame side member and may define a total height of the first frame side member.
  • the secondary leg extends from the primary leg in the inwards direction such that the secondary leg extends below a part of the interior major surface of the IGU in the closed position of the skylight window.
  • the cover leg extends from the secondary leg in the height direction towards the interior major surface or exterior and thus extends further in the height direction than the secondary leg.
  • the primary leg extends in the height direction and thus extends further in the height direction than the secondary leg.
  • the primary leg may be a vertical leg of the first frame side member, secondary leg may be a horizontal leg of the first frame side member and the cover leg may be a further vertical leg of the first frame side member.
  • the primary leg is positioned outwards in relation to the first peripheral side such that an inwardly facing surface of the primary leg is beyond the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer in the closed position of the skylight window.
  • the cover leg is positioned at inwards in relation to the first peripheral side, such that an outwardly facing surface of the cover leg is beyond the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer in the inward direction.
  • the cover leg may be positioned beyond the supporting leg of the first sash side member in the inwards direction.
  • the first frame side member has a bottom surface, which faces the interior of the building in the installed position of the skylight window.
  • the bottom surface of the first frame side member may be the surface on which the frame rests on the roof structure.
  • one or more of the frame and/or sash side members may comprise or be made substantially of polymer materials, such as plastic, specifically polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated PVC, polyurethane (PUR), fiber reinforced PUR, such as glass fiber reinforced PUR, pultruded polymers, polyester, and/or glass fiber and/or wood and/or metal, such as steel or aluminum, or composites or combinations thereof.
  • polymer materials such as plastic, specifically polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated PVC, polyurethane (PUR), fiber reinforced PUR, such as glass fiber reinforced PUR, pultruded polymers, polyester, and/or glass fiber and/or wood and/or metal, such as steel or aluminum, or composites or combinations thereof.
  • the primary leg of the frame side member extends above the interior major surface of the IGU in the height direction in the closed position of the skylight window.
  • the primary leg may suitably extend above the exterior major surface of the IGU. This may further improve the thermal insulation properties of the window, by covering the peripheral side of the IGU and by the IGU being positioned low in the frame, i.e. further towards the interior of the building.
  • a frame spacing is delimited by the primary leg in the outward direction, the cover leg in the inward direction and the secondary leg toward the interior.
  • the frame spacing will accommodate the supporting leg of the first sash side member in the closed position of the skylight window, and a sealing element may be provided in the frame spacing to seal against the supporting leg.
  • Such a frame spacing may further improve the thermal insulation properties of the skylight window. It may also aid in covering the first sash side member, the supporting leg thereof and/or the peripheral side of the IGU, when viewing from an interior of the building.
  • first frame side member may be said to form a substantially U-shaped structure.
  • the U-shaped structure of the first frame side member refers to the cross-section of the first frame side member.
  • the primary leg and the cover leg are the upright legs of the U-shape and the secondary leg connects the primary leg and the cover leg.
  • the cover leg may extend substantially as far as the primary leg of the first frame side member in the height direction, such as within a distance corresponding to three times the pane layer thickness.
  • Typical pane layer thicknesses may be about 3 mm to 8 mm, commonly 4 mm to 6 mm.
  • the supporting leg of the first sash side member in the closed position of the skylight window is positioned between the primary leg in the outward direction and the cover leg in the inward direction. In this way the supporting leg is covered by the primary leg in the outwards direction and the cover leg in inwards direction.
  • the supporting leg of the first sash side member is thus hidden from view, when viewing from the interior toward the exterior. This may further improve thermal insulation and may limit the exposure of the sash material to e.g. sunlight especially if the areas of pane layers adjacent to the first sash side member are masked.
  • the cover leg extends along an inward side of the supporting leg of the first sash side member.
  • An outwardly facing surface of the cover leg may be immediately adjacent to the inward side of the supporting leg.
  • the cover leg may be especially advantageous for skylight windows, wherein the first frame side member and/or the first sash side member comprise(s) a hollow box structure, preferably made of an extruded or pultruded plastic material such as a polyvinylchloride plastic.
  • Hollow-box structures may provide bulky frames and sashes which may impede light influx and may present a non-uniform appearance, but by provision of the cover leg the supporting leg of the first sash side member, a uniform surface e.g. for reflecting light and improving light influx is provided. Further, the cover leg may reduce contact between the supporting leg of the sash and the air of the interior of the building thus improving thermal insulation, which may be a particular problem for sashes having a hollow box structure, due to the large surface area of the supporting leg.
  • a most exterior surface of the cover leg is positioned above a most interior surface of the supporting leg in the height direction, in the closed position of the skylight window.
  • the most exterior surface of the cover leg is the surface of the cover leg which occupies the most exterior position in the installed position of the skylight window, it may also be denoted as the top surface of the cover leg.
  • the most interior surface of the supporting leg is the surface of the supporting leg which occupies the most interior position, and it may also be denoted as the bottom surface of the cover leg. In this way the supporting leg is covered by the cover leg.
  • a most exterior surface of the cover leg is located adjacent to the interior major surface of the IGU in the height direction, such that a distance in the height direction between the most exterior surface of the cover leg and the interior major surface of the IGU in the closed position of the skylight window, is less than twice a height of the interior pane layer.
  • Providing the cover leg such that the most exterior surface is adjacent to the interior major surface of the IGU may further improve the thermal insulation properties of the skylight window and means that the sash will be hidden entirely when the skylight window is seen from the interior.
  • the height of the interior pane layer is the thickness of the pane layer.
  • the most exterior surface of the cover leg or a sealing element provided thereon is in abutment with the interior major surface of the IGU in the closed position of the skylight window.
  • the cover leg or such a sealing element being in abutment with the IGU there is no contact between the sealing element of the cover leg and the supporting leg, which may improve thermal insulation and prevent condensation.
  • the cover leg and/or sealing element provided on the cover leg may thus be provided at a distance from the supporting leg, whereby a gap is provided between cover leg, or sealing element provided thereon, and the supporting leg.
  • an inward side surface of the cover leg is inclined in relation to the height direction, such that a proximal end of the inward side surface is further outward than a distal end of the inward side surface, the distal end being the end of the inward side surface which is closest to the IGU.
  • Having an inclined inward side surface may improve the influx of light through the skylight window and/or reflection of light from the inward side surface. It may also provide a smooth transition from the cover leg to a potential lining panel.
  • the inclined inward side surface of the cover leg forms an acute angle with the height direction. The acute angle may generally be less than 45 degrees, such as 5 to 30 degrees, or 5 to 20 degrees.
  • the cover leg comprises a lining panel protrusion.
  • the lining panel protrusion is a protrusion provided at the cover leg, which may facilitate the mounting of a lining panel once the skylight window is installed on a roof. Providing the lining panel protrusion at the cover leg, may allow the lining panel to be positioned close to IGU, that is high in the frame.
  • the lining panel protrusion typically defines a lining panel recess together with other parts of the first frame side member, the lining panel recess being configured for receiving a top end of the lining panel.
  • the lining panel protrusion and/or recess may extend along substantially the entire length of the first frame side member.
  • the lining panel protrusion may have a first surface for abutting an inwardly facing surface of the lining panel, so as to position the lining panel.
  • the lining panel protrusion may be provided at the distal end of the of the cover leg, whereby the lining panel in the mounted position will extend far into the frame, close to the IGU. This may provide a skylight window presenting a uniform appearance toward the interior, which may improve light influx.
  • the lining panel protrusion may be provided at the proximal end of the cover leg.
  • the inclined inward side surface of the cover leg may in such a configuration also continue as an inclined inward side surface of the lining panel protrusion, whereby a smooth transition to the lining panel is provided by the cover leg.
  • the lining panel protrusion may be positioned beyond the first peripheral side of the interior pane layer in the inward direction.
  • the skylight window further comprises a weather shield attached to the sash or the frame so as to protect a window portion of the skylight window from the elements and preventing rain and other precipitation, said the window portion comprising the sash, the frame, and the IGU.
  • the weather shield comprises a transparent or translucent weather shield pane. It may be of glass or clear polymer and may comprise only one single layer of glazing.
  • the weather shield may be provided as a unitary structure, which is or may be detachably attached to the sash. This may have the effect of providing for access to clean the IGU; this may also be of advantage during installation of the skylight window, e.g. when positioning or attaching the window portion or when attaching roofing felt to cover a joint between the frame and the roof structure.
  • the weather shield pane may curve upwardly in relation to the window portion or the IGU to allow for rain and snow to slide or flow off of the weather shield pane.
  • the weather shield pane may be substantially flat.
  • the weather shield is without a sealed gas-filled spacing between the weather shield pane and the IGU.
  • the exterior pane layer extends further in the outward direction than the interior pane of the IGU.
  • Such an IGU may be denoted a "Stepped IGU".
  • the exterior pane layer may extend as far or further than the first sash side member in the outward direction, whereby the exterior pane layer covers the first sash side member.

  • the second leg of the first sash side member may extend immediately beneath this further part of the exterior pane layer.
  • the primary leg suitably extends above the interior major surface of the IGU, while the exterior pane layer extends above the primary leg.
  • a peripheral area of the exterior pane layer may be masked e.g. with enamel so as to protect part of the window frame and/or window sash and/or a spacer of the IGU from sunlight.
  • the peripheral area may be the part of the exterior pane layer, which covers the window frame and/or window sash, in particular the part of the exterior pane layer which is immediately adjacent to the sash.
  • Such masking may also be applied to peripheral areas of the other pane layers, e.g. the peripheral area of the interior pane layer, which is immediately adjacent to the supporting leg of the first sash side member.
  • the weather shield pane is the exterior pane layer of the IGU.
  • the weather shield thus forms part of the IGU, and the exterior pane layer of the IGU protects the window portion of the skylight window.
  • the exterior pane layer of the IGU is the most exterior pane layer of the IGU and thus has an exposed exterior major surface. In these embodiments the exterior pane layer covers the sash. The exterior pane layer thus covers and protects the entire window portion and allows rain water or the like to drain off the skylight window, whereby the exterior pane layer serves as a weather shield pane.
  • the exterior pane layer may be attached to the window sash by a structural adhesive bond or structural tape. In particular this may be advantageous when the exterior pane layer is the also the weather shield pane.
  • adhesive means are applied in between the interior facing surface of the exterior pane layer and the first sash side member, preferably the second leg of the first sash side member.
