Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packed installation kit for use in the installation of a roof window system comprising two window units and configured to be built in side by side in an inclined roof structure such that the roof window system defines a common height and a combined width in the mounted condition, said installation kit comprising a number of installation assemblies, each including one or more components, and optionally auxiliary equipment.
  • 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.
  • Applicant's pending European patent applications with application numbers 21216869 , 21216874 , 21216881 and 21216882 show and describe roof window systems comprising two window units configured to be built in side by side in a roof structure.
  • assemblies including support, insulating, stabilizing and cover assemblies.
  • auxiliary equipment such as underroof collars and vapour barrier collars are typically provided as well. While such assemblies are of great assistance to the installer, the various assemblies and the auxiliary equipment are typically provided separately and independently from the window units themselves. Since each assembly in turn includes a variety of differently sized components, logistical challenges in delivery of such a roof window system are substantial.
  • one of the installation assemblies includes a support assembly comprising as components two support beams to which the window units are fastened. Since the support beams thus carry a substantial load in the mounted condition of the roof window system, they need to be sturdy and robust.
  • the material of the support beams may in principle be chosen arbitrarily, as long as the material has sufficient strength and wear properties.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Document EP1710163 A1 discloses a packed installation kit for use in the installation of a roof window system.
  • a packed installation kit of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterised in that the components of a first set of installation assemblies of the installation kit are accommodated in a first packaging, that the components of a second set of installation assemblies of the installation kit comprise two support beams accommodated side-by-side in a second packaging comprising a rectangular telescopic tube packaging having two parts of corrugated cardboard, a first part of the second packaging having a first length extending between an end portion and an opening, and a second part having a second length extending between an end portion and an opening, and the support beams having a length within a pre-defined range, that the total length of the second packaging as defined by the sum of the length of the first part and the length of the second part exceeds the length of the support beams such that an overlap between the second part and the first part is provided in a supply condition of the installation kit within said pre-defined range of lengths of the support beams of the second set of installation assemblies, and that means are provided
  • a telescopic packaging and two parts with individual lengths chosen to provide a suitable overlap within a range of the length of the two support beams, the number of differently sized blanks to be kept in store is reduced drastically.
  • An increased protection is achieved as compared to no packaging, or to a packaging of plastic material.
  • a cardboard packaging has better performance from a sustainability point of view than plastic, since the cardboard packaging is suitable for easy recycling. In practice, this has the effect that the likelihood of the packaging material actually being recycled instead of just being disposed of as combustible waste is increased significantly, thus contributing to the overall sustainability of the roof window system.
  • paper and cardboard are usually made from wood-fibres, other plant fibres including fibres originating from straw, bamboo, bagasse, esparto, other grasses, hemp, flax, and cotton may also be used, including combinations of different types of fibres.
  • 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 forming a packed installation kit of the first aspect 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.
  • the installation kit 1 here comprises a second set of installation assemblies 3, which is a support assembly 3 which has an upper support beam 31 and a lower support beam 32.
  • the two support beams 31, 32 have identical lengths L3, identical heights H3 and identical widths, the sum of their widths being the common width B3.
  • the support beams 31, 32 are shown side-by-side extending along the lengths of one another.
  • a second packaging 103 is shown to accommodate the support beams 31, 32.
  • the second packaging 103 comprises a rectangular telescopic tube packaging which has two parts, a first part 1031 and a second part 1032, both of which are made of corrugated cardboard.
  • the first part 1031 has first length L1, width B1 and height H1.
  • the second part 1032 has a second length L2, a width B2 and a height H2.
  • the sum of the first length L1 and the second length L2 exceeds the length L3 of the support beams 31, 32.
  • the sum of the lengths L1 and L2, is denoted the total length of the second packaging.
  • the first length L1 in Fig. 1 may for example be about 1500 mm while the second length L2 may be about 1200 mm and the length L3 may be about 1700 mm.
  • the material thickness of the cardboard is about 3 mm, but could vary slightly.
  • the first part 1031 has an opening 10310 at one longitudinal end of the first part 1031, and the opening 10310 has suitable dimensions for accommodating the two support beams 31, 32 lengthwise.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 2 which shows the installation kit of Fig. 1 during packing of the support beams 31, 32 of the support assembly 3 in the second packaging 103.
  • the support beams 31, 32 are accommodated side-by-side in the first part 1031 of the second packaging 103.
  • the support beams 31, 32 are enclosed to a large extent in the first part 1031, but a portion thereof protrudes from the opening 10310.
  • about 85 % of the support beams 31, 32 are accommodated in the first part 1031.
  • the protruding portion of the support assembly 3, is seen to be shorter than the second length L2 of the second part 1032.

  • the snug fit between the first part 1031 and the support assembly is preferably snug such that the support assembly 3 does not inadvertently slide in the first part 1031, during handling, but not so snug that it impedes unpacking of the of packed installation kit 1.
  • Fig. 3a in which the second part 1032 of the second packaging 103 has been slid on to the support assembly 3 and the first part 1031 of the second packaging in a telescoping manner, to provide a supply condition of the installation kit.
  • the second part 1032 constitutes an outer part of the second packaging 103, and an overlap LO is provided between the first 1031 and second part 1032.
  • the length LO of the overlap in this embodiment substantially amounts to the difference between the length L3 and the sum of first L1 and second length L2.
  • the first 1031 and second part 1032 having lengths L1 and L2 as shown in Figs 1 to 3 would provide an overlap LO in the supply condition for a predefined range of lengths L3 of the support beams 31, 32.
  • the predefined range for the length L3 has an upper limit of less than the sum of the first L1 and second length L2, although a suitable overlap may in practice require the length L3 to be less than e.g. 95% of the length of sum of the first L1 and second length L2.
  • the length L3 is about 65 % of the sum of the first L1 and second length L2.
  • the length L3 will typically vary between about 1000 mm and up to 3000 mm.

  • 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.
  • the first part 1031 and the second part 1032 may further have fixating means for positioning the first part 1031 relative to the support beams 31, 32 and for positioning the second part 1032 relative to the support beams 31, 32 and/or the first part 1031.

  • 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 side portions 10312, 10313 have identical widths and the top 10311 and base portions 10314 have identical widths, whereby the first part 1031 in the folded state will have rectangular cross-section.
  • the flap portion 10315 will overlap partly with the exterior surface of the top portion 10311, providing overlapping surfaces which may be fixated to each other e.g. by means of an adhesive or glue, or by means of clamps or staples.
  • the amount of adhesive or glue used in the first packaging 101 and the second packaging 103 is preferably comparatively low, e.g. the mass of adhesive or glue is low compared to the mass of packaging, such as less than 2 %, less than 1.5 %, less than 1 %, less than 0.5 % or even less than 0.1 % by weight of the packaging.
  • 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.
