Definitions

  • Roof windows to be installed in inclined roof surfaces come in a variety of types, and are either installed as stand-alone window units, in which all sides of the roof window border on the roofing, or in configurations in which several window units are built together to combine into larger arrays providing a larger light influx into a room of a building, and in which only outer sides of the outermost window units border on the surrounding roofing.
  • the packed installation kit may weigh up to about 20-30 kg and have a length of about 2-3 m.
  • items of such magnitude are supplied either as they are, i.e. unprotected, or wrapped in plastic.
  • the former entails a risk of damage and/or smudging of the components, while the latter might sometimes be considered less desirable from an environmental point of view and furthermore offers only a reduced protection during handling.
  • the length of the first part is identical for various lengths of the components within said pre-defined range, the length of the first part being preferably 1400 to 1600 mm, more preferably about 1500 mmm.
  • the two support beams are enclosed either in full or to a large extent in the first part, for instance of above 50%.
  • the second part closes off the packaging and provides suitable overlap.
  • the length of the second part is selected in accordance with the length of the support beams, preferably such that a length is selected for a respective sub-range within said pre-defined range, the length of the second part in a shorter sub-range being preferably 1000 to 1400 mm, more preferably about 1200 mm, and wherein the length of the second part in a longer sub-range is preferably 1400 to 1600, more preferably about 1500 mm.
  • a single size of the first part combined with a second part of two sizes is able to cover a full range of product sizes in a way which is advantageous from manufacturing, handling, cost and environmental points of view.
  • a method of packaging components of a set of installation assemblies of an installation kit in a packaging is provided.
  • the method comprises the steps of:
  • the method comprises the steps of providing two blanks which in a folded state form a first part and a second part, respectively, of the packaging
  • the packaging may either be formed before inserting the two support beams constituting the components, or the components are first placed on the blank.
  • the blank is a first blank which in the folded state forms the first part. Subsequently, the components which are at least partially enclosed by the first part are either positioned on a second blank, which in the folded state forms the second part before folding is carried out, or the second blank is formed to the second part before connecting the second part with the first part and the components.
  • an installation kit 100 according to the invention is shown in a partly packed condition.
  • the installation kit 100 is intended for use in the installation of a roof window system 1 as shown in Fig. 5 , with two window units 11, 12 to be installed side-by-side in an inclined roof structure 2 using the components of installation assemblies and auxiliary equipment of the packed installation kit 100 according to the innovation.
  • the roof structure comprises 2 a number of rafters and battens of which two rafters 21 on either side of the window units 11, 12 and one batten 22 are indicated.
  • the roof structure 2 may include further and/or alternative parts.
  • An end portion 10316 of the first part 1031 is located opposite to the opening 10310.
  • the end portion 10316 closes off the first part 1031.
  • the second part 1032 has an opening 10320 and an end portion 10326, which is seen to close off one longitudinal end of the of the second part 1032.
  • the end portions 10316, 10326 may in some orientations of the packed installation kit, carry the load of the support beams 31, 32.
  • the end portions 10316, 10326 may suitably be reinforced, with several layers of cardboard material, preferably corrugated cardboard, by an additional element such as a honeycomb element and/or by providing an additional folding flap.
  • the support beams 31, 32 are provided with such dimensions and selected from such a material that they are able to provide sufficient strength and withstand wear typical of the conditions within a roof structure.
  • a wooden material is chosen and may include laminated wooden beams such as Glulam beams, Kerto ® beams etc., which are dimensionally stable, strong and light-weight. While the support beams 31, 32 are light-weight in comparison to materials such as steel, the dimensions alone render them cumbersome to handle and pack.
  • the support beams 31, 32 extend between rafters 21 on either side of the first and second window units 11, 12.
  • the height H2 and width B2 of the second part 1032 are selected to be greater than the corresponding height H1 and width B1 of the first part 1031, such that, accounting for the corrugated cardboard thickness of the second part, the second part 1032 can be slid on to the first part 1031 in the telescopic manner.
  • the height H2 and width B2 is preferably further selected such that a snug fit between the interior surfaces of the second part 1032 and the exterior surfaces of the first part 1031 is provided. In this way the first and second parts of the second packaging is kept together in the supply condition.
  • the length L1 of the of the first part 1031 is identical for lengths L3 within a pre-defined range, while the length L2 of the second part is selected according in accordance with the length L3, optionally from a few pre-defined lengths L2, such as two pre-defined lengths L2.
  • the first length L1 is longer than the second length L2, which slightly improves the carbon footprint of the second packaging, as the first part 1031, has a smaller height H1 and width B1, than the second part 1032, thus reducing the amount of material used in the packaging.
  • a tape strip 10331 may be provided.
  • the reinforcement means comprise positioning a shock-absorbing element in the form of a honeycomb element 10332 between ends of the support beams 31, 32 (not visible) and the end portion 10326 of the second packaging 103.
  • a counterpart honeycomb element 10332 may be provided at the other end portion 10316.
  • Fig. 7 shows the roof window system when the vapour barrier collar 97 is installed after having been unpacked from its sub-packaging 197 which is here a plastic bag.
  • Fig. 8 shows receiver brackets 7 being installed to receive and mount the cover plate 8.
  • first part 1031 and the second part 1032 of the packaging 103 may be provided in the form presented in Figs 1 to 3b , i.e. folded to form a respective tubular shape, it is also conceivable to use a cardboard blank as a substrate during handling of the support assembly comprising the two support beams 31, 32, following which the cardboard material is folded and closed, thus wrapping the support beams 31, 32.
  • FIG. 9 is a plan view of the blank.
  • the blank is a sheet of corrugated cardboard which is provided with folding lines and cuts which define portions of the blank.
  • At one longitudinal end of the blank there is four end flaps 10316a, 10316b, 10316c, 10316d, which in the folded condition form sections of the end portion 10316 of the first part.
  • the end flaps 10316a, 10316b, 10316c, 10316d overlap to close off the end portion 10316 of the first part 1031.
  • the end portion 10316 will be reinforced as it will be formed of four layers of corrugated cardboard.
  • the end flaps 10316a, 10316b, 10316c, 10316d may be fixated to each other by adhesive or glue between some or all the end flaps. In the embodiment shown, there are no flaps at the opposite end of the blank, and hence the first part 1031 folded from the blank will be open at that end, providing the opening 10310.
  • Four folding lines extend longitudinally across the blank, segmenting the blank into a top portion 10311, side portion 10313, base portion 10314, further side portion 10312 and flap portion 10315.
  • the folding lines can comprise a weakening of the corrugated cardboard materials, such as perforations, cuts or the cardboard material having been compressed at the folding line.
  • the blank of the first part 1031 can be folded to form the first part 1031 prior to inserting the components 1031, 1032 of the support assembly 3 therein.
  • the components 1031, 1032 can be placed on the blank of the first part 1031 whereupon the blank is folded around the components to form the first part 1031 as shown in Fig. 10 .
  • the components of the support assembly 3 are placed side-by-side on the base portion 10314 of the blank of the first part 1031, and subsequently the blank can be folded around the components to form the first part 1031 of the second packaging 103.
  • Figs 9 and 10 only show a blank to constitute a first blank to form the first part 1031 of the second packaging 103, it is understood that a similar, second blank can be provided for the second part 1032.
  • Such a second blank to form the second part 1032 may be folded around the components of the support assembly 3 which are accommodated in the first part, similarly to the process of Fig. 10 , to provide the supply condition of the packed installation kit 100.
  • the packaging to be formed is able accommodate the full length of the components of the support assembly 3.
  • the means for reinforcing the end portions are applicable.
  • a plurality of end flaps including two, three or four end flaps may be provided at either end of the blank.
  • the use of an overlapping flap portion, corresponding to the flap portion 10315, to cover the full length of such a packaging is conceivable.
  • Fixating means in the forms of clamps or staples may be applied throughout the length of the packaging, partly to strengthen the coherence of the packaging itself, partly to provide additional retention of the components of the second set of installation assemblies in the length direction of the packaging, thus mitigating the effect of possible pressure or impact acting on the end portions in case the support beams move in the longitudinal direction of the second packaging.
