Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a window installation system comprising a kit of parts, and a roof window having a window frame and a sash.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method of installing a roof window.
  • the typical installation process involves mounting the stationary window frame in a first step to allow easy access to the exterior without necessarily exiting to the roof surface.
  • mounting brackets and auxiliary equipment such as under-roofing etc. are installed, but the frame opening is sometimes also used for climbing through, either from the outside and in or vice versa.
  • the sash needs to be fitted temporarily to ensure that the frame forms a proper rectangle, without skewness, which can be observed when closing and opening the sash.
  • the sash is again dismounted and possible adaptation of the position of the frame is carried out. This procedural step is repeated until a satisfying fit has been reached.
  • EP 3 252 249 A1 discloses a roof window with a bottom protection member and two side protection members for covering the bottom and side frame members.
  • a protection unit substantially preventing direct contact between objects, such as a sash, tools, body parts etc., and at least the covered interior portions of the window frame, thereby protecting the window frame in the window installation process. Additionally, the protection unit acts as a support for the sash before engagement of the hinges to fit the sash into the window frame and as guidance during the engagement of the parts of the hinges, thereby assisting the installer in the installation process.
  • the wording "protection" should, within the context of this application, be construed as an action of guarding, shielding and/or covering in order to prevent a damage of the window frame or the window sash.
  • the side members may have a pre-defined length of at least 10 cm to protect the side in a way that will limit most of the damages that can occur while handling, installing or removing a window frame.
  • the window frame may be unmounted in a package, mounted of unmounted in free state or may be mounted in a stationary window frame.
  • the advantage of this solution of protecting the window frame includes i.e.: preventing direct contact between a sash to be installed in the window frame and the interior portions of the window frame, more specifically preventing the damage of the windows frame when the sash is removed from the frame, while reassembling sash and frame, and when passing the sash to the outside, when working inside from hanging tools, with shoes while climbing in and out of the roof, when reaching parts through the frame to the outside, when roof is dirty and wet.
  • the protection unit is in a U-shaped configuration in a condition of use, providing robustness and adequate protection for the window frame.
  • the bottom protection member of the protection unit may be configured to cover substantially an entirety of the interior portion and the exterior portion of the bottom frame member facing the central opening, the pre-defined length of the bottom protection member being substantially equal to the inner width of the window and a width of the bottom protection member substantially corresponds to a depth of the bottom frame member.
  • the choice of material of the kit of parts may in principle be chosen according to whether it is intended for repeated usage etc. Preferably one should choose a "soft material” that best allows a damage free fall of any kind of objects, including the sash, on the window frame.
  • the wording "soft material” may include expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), rubber or any solid material that thank to its porous structure can dump a free falling of an object.
  • EPP expanded polypropylene
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • Rubber any solid material that thank to its porous structure can dump a free falling of an object.
  • the wording "hard material” may include solid metals like aluminium, brass, titanium, bronze, iron, steel, cupper, brass, silicon bronze, monel and/or alloys of the metals or natural materials like wood or synthetized materials like plastic.
  • At least one side protection member, at a connection line with the bottom protection member may be adapted for being folded so that it projects to the bottom protection member plane thereby facilitating easy and compact storage.
  • the connection line may be made by for instance deforming, striking, or weakening material along the folding line, or by applying a strip, an adhesive of the like.
  • the connection line may be made with joints that allows the side protection members to be folded so that they project to the bottom protection member plane.
  • the kit of parts may also be adapted to be stored and reused one or more times.
  • the kit of parts when folded would occupy a minimal space that can facilitate the storage of the kit.
  • the kit of parts may be made of a lasting material, it could be reused several times for protecting a windows frame.
  • the protection unit of the kit of parts may be provided as separate parts, but in a presently preferred embodiment, the protection unit is a single, one-piece unit.
  • the wording "single unit" implies that the kit of parts is a single piece and all members connected integrally to each other. An advantage of using a single unit is that one does not have to assemble or unfold the kit of part and the kit of parts is already in the protection form and ready to be used.
  • the bottom protection member and the side protection members may be connected after been assembled.
  • assembled should, within the context of this application, be construed as an assembly technique, including releasable fastening means such as screws, interlocking fingers, or adhesive technique including adhesive means, glue, fastening strap, tape, Velcro.
  • kit of parts may be easily included in the windows packaging and therefore delivered with the window packaging protecting the window frame parts when unmounted.
  • Another advantage is that it can be easily assembled when needed.
  • the bottom protection member is composed of a plurality of pieces, preferably having an individually adapted profiling. This is particularly advantageous in a modular window installation system in which a range of pieces with various individual lengths and profiling forms part of the window installation system, such that a variety of window sizes may be accommodated.
  • a method of installing a roof window is provided.
  • a roof window 1 is shown, with a window frame 2, having a top frame member 300, a bottom frame member 200, and two side frame members 100, defining a central opening.
  • the window will be referred to as “roof window” and only as “window” on equal footing.
  • the invention is in particular intended for use in a roof window, to be installed in an inclined roof surface.
  • Directional terms such as “upper”, “lower” etc. relate to the position shown in the drawings.
  • “Top”, “bottom”, “side” denote the position in the mounted condition of the window and are use for convenience and not to be considered limiting.
  • the invention is in principle applicable to all types of windows for installation in all types of roofs, including flat roofs, and facades, however.
  • Fig. 1 shows the roof window 1 seen from the side of the roof window which faces the interior side of a building structure in which the roof window 1 is installed.
  • the frame 2 is stationary when the roof window 1 is in a mounted condition.
  • a sash 3 carrying a pane 4 is connected to the frame 2 by means of a set of hinges 5, such that the sash 3 is pivotable about a substantially centrally located axis between an open and closed position relative to the stationary frame 2.
  • the sash 3 has a top sash member 600, a bottom sash member 500, and two side sash members 400.
  • a covering assembly 6 comprising claddings 61, coverings 62 and a top box 63 is provided as well. These elements form part of a covering assembly to protect the exterior parts of the window from weathering.
  • the hinges 5 may also be located further upwards, towards the upper part of the stationary frame 2 and sash 3.
  • an operating member 7 is provided at the top sash member 600, such that a lock mechanism 8, also at the top sash member 600 is disengaged from a striking plate (not shown) on the top member 300 of the frame 2 in a manner known per se.
  • Examples of so-called pivot hinges are shown in Figs 2a and 3 and a detailed description of such a hinge is present in for instance Applicant's EP1612352A1 , WO 85/02646 , WO 99/28581 and EP3486413A1 .
  • the invention is also applicable to so-called pantograph hinges, as described in Applicant's WO2017076416A1 and EP3252255A1 .
  • sash 3 has been disassembled from the frame 2, and in Fig. 3 , the sash 3 is shown separately.
  • the sash 3 is typically connected to the frame 2 in a supply condition of a window installation system of the invention, in that a sash hinge part 53 of each hinge 5 is in engagement with a frame hinge part 52 of the corresponding hinge 5 by respective engagement means.
  • the hinge 5 is a pivot hinge
  • disengagement is carried out in that the engagement means of the sash hinge part 53, in the form of a slide bar (not shown in detail), is withdrawn from the engagement means of the frame hinge part 52, in the form of a guide (not shown in detail) of the frame hinge part 52.
  • Each of the frame members 100, 200, 300 has an inner side facing the central opening.
  • the inner sides of the respective frame members 100, 200, 300 each comprises an exterior portion 102, 202 (exterior portion of top frame member 300 not visible), which, when the window is in the closed position, is covered by the sash 3 and therefore not visible from the interior of the building structure, and an interior portion of which the interior portion 101 of the side member 100 shown to the right in Fig. 1 and the interior portion 201 of the bottom frame member 200 are visible.
  • the interior portions 101, 201 are not covered by the sash 3, when the window is in the closed position.
  • Reference numeral 101 will be used to denote the interior portion of each of the side members 100, since these members are generally mirror-inverted to each other.
  • each frame member 100, 200, 300 has a bottom surface 103, 203, 303 which here, in a manner known per se, includes a groove adapted to accommodate a lining forming a transition between the roof window 1 and an inner wall of the building in which the roof window 1 is installed.
  • the bottom frame member 200 of the window frame 2 defines an inner width wi.
  • the inner width wi is the distance between the mutually facing interior portions 101 of the first and second side frame members 100, which is substantially uniform over the height of the frame 2.
  • a protection unit 10 of the kit of parts to be described in further detail below are relative as will be readily appreciated by the person skilled in the art.
  • Fig. 2b showing the lower left-hand corner as seen from the inside.
  • the exterior portions 102, 202 of the inner sides of each of the frame members 100, 200, 300 are offset relative to the interior portions 101, 101, 201 to form a space in which the sash 3 is accommodated when the window is in a closed position.
  • a first embodiment of a kit of parts for protecting at least the bottom parts of the stationary frame 2 in a window installation process will be described in further detail.
  • Fig. 4a illustrates the kit of parts for protecting a window frame in a window installation process, comprising: a bottom protection member 11; and a first and a second side protection member 12 and 13.
  • the side protection members 12, 13 will be referred to jointly or individually; the side protection members 12, 13 may be formed in an identical, mirror-inverted manner, but variations are also conceivable.
  • the bottom protection member 11 is formed with a pre-defined length lb and each side protection member 12, 13 with a pre-defined length ls.
  • the side protection members 12, 13 are connected to or connectable to the bottom protection member 11, thereby forming the protection unit 10 of the kit of parts of the invention.

  • the bottom protection member 11 is configured to cover substantially an entirety of the interior portion 201 of the bottom frame member 200 facing the central opening such that the pre-defined length lb of the bottom protection member 11 is substantially equal to the inner width wi of the window. Furthermore, the bottom protection member 11 here covers also the exterior portion 202 of the bottom frame member 200 such that a width of the bottom protection member 11 substantially corresponds to a depth of the bottom frame member 200.
  • the window frame 2 is formed such that the exterior portion 202 of the inner side of the bottom frame members 200 is offset relative to the interior portion 201 to form a stepped portion and the bottom protection member 11 comprises a first portion 115 having a first thickness; and a second portion 116 having a second thickness.
  • the second thickness is different from the first thickness to provide a pre-defined profiling of the bottom protection member 11.
  • the bottom protection member 11 comprises a base portion 110 with a first longitudinal edge 111 and an opposed second longitudinal edge 112, each extending between one end edge 113 and another end edge 114 and defining the length lb of the bottom protection member 11.
  • the first portion 115 has a reduced thickness relative to the second portion 116 defining a shoulder 117 extending substantially in parallel to and located substantially halfway between the first and second longitudinal edges 111, 112 of the bottom protection member 11, and the first portion 115 is positioned adjacent to the first longitudinal edge 111 and configured to cover the interior portion 201 of the bottom frame member 200 while the second portion 116 is positioned adjacent to the second longitudinal edge 112 and configured to cover the exterior portion 202 of the bottom frame member 200 of the frame 2 of the roof window 1.

As shown in Fig. 10 , this also means that an interspace is formed between adjacent pieces 5111a and 5111b and/or 511b and 5111c, respectively. While the interior portion 201 and the exterior portion 202 of the bottom frame member 200 are thus partly exposed, the thickness of the bottom protection unit 5010 combined with an adequate maximum slid-out length provides for sufficient overall protection of the window frame.
  • one piece 6111g is shown rotatable relative to another piece 6111f about the rod 6119b.
