Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a window assembly, more particularly a skylight assembly typically intended to be built into an inclining surface such as a sloping roof.
- The use of a window assembly allows more daylight to come indoors. Ventilation and visual contact with the outside world also become possible when the window assembly is integrated in a roof or side wall. Skylights for sloping roofs consist of a fixed window frame and a window mounted tiltably therein. Examples of such window assemblies are generally known to the skilled person. A particularly advantageous embodiment of such a skylight assembly is disclosed in European patent
EP 2 792 810 B1 in the name of applicant. When opening such a skylight, the upper part of the window tilts inward, while the lower part can tilt outward. - It is preferred for such window assemblies to be protected to a certain extent against for instance: vandalism, flying projectiles (for instance due to high wind speeds), snow load, attempted burglary and theft, and so on. This list is not limitative, and other incidents that impact the window assembly are preferably also obviated. In the existing window assemblies an impact load on the window assembly results in a lot of material damage. This has a negative effect on the safety and reliability of the window.
- Testing of impact resistance is typically done using impact tests based on a pendulum principle, or by dropping an object with a determined mass onto the window.
- Embodiments of the invention have for their object to improve the impact resistance of the window assembly.
- A first aspect of the invention relates to a window assembly, particularly a skylight assembly intended to be mounted in an inclining surface. The window assembly comprises a window frame and a window which is mounted movably in the window frame. The window comprises a frame and a window pane received in the frame. The window frame is manufactured from a laminate structure with a thickness. This thickness is measured perpendicularly of a plane of the opening bounded by the window frame. Arranged in the window frame is at least one throughfeed element which extends through at least 50 percent of the thickness of the window frame.
- The at least one throughfeed element increases the impact resistance of the whole window assembly. In the case of impact on the window forces are transmitted via the locking to the window frame, i.e. to the laminate structure. This laminate structure is the typical location where damage due to impact occurs. The layer structure of the laminated material is held together better owing to the presence of the at least one throughfeed element. The load as a result of impact is distributed better through the laminate structure, and the presence of the at least one throughfeed element ensures that the energy of the impact load is absorbed better. The at least one throughfeed element can be provided particularly there where the laminate structure is subject to stresses as a result of the impact.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the window assembly comprises at least one throughfeed element consisting of a screw element. With this embodiment of the throughfeed element the forces in the longitudinal direction of the throughfeed element are also absorbed, this in addition to the lateral shear forces. In this way the laminate structure is held together better as a whole. The screw element preferably has a pitch which is smaller than the layer thickness of a layer of the laminate structure. The screw element can for instance have a diameter of between 1 mm and 10 mm, more preferably between 2 mm and 8 mm, still more preferably between 3 mm and 7 mm The screw element is preferably a wood screw.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one throughfeed element comprises at least three throughfeed elements, which are preferably screw elements. By using a plurality of throughfeed elements the impact load is distributed better through the laminate structure. Three to ten throughfeed elements can typically be used, for instance four or five.
- These throughfeed elements extend through at least 60 percent of the thickness of the window frame, preferably at least 65 percent, still more preferably at least 70 percent. The at least one throughfeed element preferably has a length greater than 50 mm, preferably greater than 70 mm. In this way the at least one throughfeed element extends over a large part of the thickness of the window frame, and the forces can be accommodated where necessary.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the window assembly has a window frame which is provided with a groove with a bottom, this groove preferably being parallel to a periphery of the window frame. The at least one throughfeed element can then be arranged such that it lies with an outer end adjacently of the bottom of the groove. When use is for instance made of a screw element, the screw element can be screwed into the bottom of the groove. This groove provides for an easy mounting of the one or more throughfeed elements.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one throughfeed element is provided with a head which lies adjacently of the bottom of the groove. The head also provides for an easy mounting of the at least one throughfeed element. The groove preferably has a depth greater than 5 mm, more preferably greater than 7 mm
- According to a preferred embodiment, the window assembly comprises at least one locking between the window and the window frame. The at least one throughfeed element then preferably comprises two throughfeed elements which are arranged on either side of a locking. This arrangement preferably takes place at a distance (dv) from the locking which is smaller than 30 percent of a dimension (B) of the window frame. An impact will typically first act on the locking, and in this way can be accommodated well by the two throughfeed elements.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the window is rectangular with a first side, and the window frame is rectangular with a first side which lies adjacently of the first side of the window. The at least one locking is provided between the two first sides. This first side of the window frame then preferably comprises the at least one throughfeed element. At least four throughfeed elements are preferably provided in the first side of the window frame.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one locking comprises a first and a second locking, and the at least one throughfeed element comprises a throughfeed element which is provided between the first and second locking.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the window is mounted pivotally, such that the first side of the window tilts inward in the case of impact.
- The above stated and other advantageous features and objects of embodiments of the invention will become more apparent, and the invention better understood, on the basis of the following detailed description when read in combination with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
