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 having a length, and optionally auxiliary equipment, the components of a first set of installation assemblies of the installation kit being accommodated in a first packaging comprising a box shaped as a rectangular prism, preferably of corrugated cardboard, having a length in a longitudinal direction, a width in a width direction and a height in a height direction to provide a supply condition of the installation kit.
  • 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, and of widely differing weights, logistical challenges in delivery of such a roof window system are substantial.
  • roof window products such as the roof window itself or a flashing assembly for a roof window
  • the components are typically arranged in the box in an intended order of use and small components, such as screws, are kept in plastic bags.
  • blocks of expanded polystyrene or similar shock absorbing material are used for protecting the product and/or for keeping the components in the intended position within the box.
  • An example of a packed roof window, where these principles are used, is known from EP2748071B1 and an example of a packed flashing assembly for a roof window is known from EP1710163B1 .
  • a packed installation kit of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterised in that the components of the first set of installation assemblies of the installation kit are accommodated in the first packaging either as they are or partially or entirely packed in a sub-packaging of cardboard or paper material, that the length of the first packaging in the longitudinal direction is selected in accordance with a length of a longest component(s) of the first set of installation assemblies, that a first installation assembly comprises the longest component(s) having a first length, that the components of a second installation assembly have a second length which is shorter than the first length of the longest component(s) of the first set of installation assemblies, and that the components of the second installation assembly are partially packed in a sub-packaging comprising at least one open cardboard box and/or paper ribbon located at or near longitudinal ends of the components of the second installation assembly and temporarily fixated to the first packaging to allow the components of the second installation assembly and/or the sub-packagings to function as positioning elements relative to components of at least one other installation assembly in the longitudinal, width and/
  • Selecting the length of the first packaging in accordance with the length of said longest component(s) of the longest component(s) of said first set of installation assemblies reduces the amount of packaging material used for the packed installation kit.
  • the length of the first packaging corresponds to or slightly exceeds the length of the longest component(s). In this way, the size of the first packaging is kept small, reducing material used for the packed installation kit.
  • some components of one installation assembly and/or the sub-packaging accommodating these components function as positioning elements relative to other components, of other installation assemblies, in the length, width and/or height direction of the first packaging contributes to safe transportation of the components involved and also to reduce the total amount and type of packaging, since the need for e.g. elements of expanded polystyrene is made redundant.
  • a component or sub-packaging thereof functions as a positioning element for another component, it restricts the movement of the other component in the first packaging, keeping the component in place which reduces the risk of the components being damaged during shipment and handling.
  • one or more components of a first installation assembly may be wedged in between a side of the first packaging and a sub-packaging of a second subassembly.
  • the component or sub-packaging thereof which functions as a positioning element may be temporarily fixated to the first packaging by at least one strip of adhesive or glue.
  • 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 sub-packaging accommodating components of at least one installation assembly of said first set of installation assemblies is temporarily fixated to the first packaging by at least one strip of adhesive or glue, the amount of adhesive or glue being preferably comparatively low relative to the amount of packaging.
  • the amount of adhesive or glue 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 first length of a longest component(s) of the installation assemblies of said first set of installation assemblies in the supply condition substantially corresponds to or exceeds slightly the common height of the roof window system in the mounted condition.
  • the first packaging will have a size corresponding to the size of a packed roof window unit of the roof window system, which may be advantageous when storing, shipping and/or handling the packed installation kit along with the packed roof window units.
  • the longest components among the components of the first set of installation assemblies may in some embodiments be the side members of an insulating frame assembly, which side members extend along the sides of the windows units of the roof window system when the roof window system is mounted in a roof structure.
  • the installation kit furthermore comprises auxiliary equipment.
  • auxiliary equipment in the first packaging, the risk of logistical issues in the shipping and supply of the installation kit is reduced, as fewer units need to be handled separately. Furthermore, it reduces the amount of packaging material needed compared to auxiliary equipment which is packed separately from the installation assemblies.
  • the underroof collar is packed in a plastic bag intended to function as a collection element for waste, in particular waste of plastic material during installation of the roof window system.
  • the plastic bag may be provided with a label comprising a recycling logo.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of an installation kit 100 packed in a first packaging 101 in an embodiment of the invention.
  • the installation kit 100 is intended for use in the installation of a roof window system 1 as shown in Fig. 3 , 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 invention.
  • the roof structure 2 comprises 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 100 comprises a first set of installation assemblies 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 which are accommodated and packed in a first packaging 101.

  • the packed installation kit 100 is in Fig. 1 shown in a condition where the first packaging 101 is open, allowing the components accommodated therein to be seen. When the packed installation kit is shipped and supplied, the first packaging 101 will be closed, providing the installation kit 100 in a supply condition.
  • the first packaging 101 is a box which in its closed condition is shaped as a rectangular prism or cuboid.
  • the first packaging 101 is made of corrugated cardboard, which is sometimes called corrugated fibreboard.
  • the insulating assembly 5 is accommodated in the first packaging 101 as is, that is the components of the assembly are not packed in a sub-packaging nor are they fixated to the first packaging 101, whereas the mounting assembly 4, receiver brackets 7 and cover plate 8 are packed in respective sub-packaging 104, 107, 108 of cardboard or paper material.

  • the second set of installation assemblies is here embodied by a support assembly 3 having two components: an upper support beam 31 and a lower support beam 32.
  • the support beams 31, 32 are provided with such dimensions and selected from such 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 internal dimensions of the second part 1032 are such that the opposite end of the components of the support assembly 3 can be inserted into the second part 1032 as shown in Fig. 2a , whereby the remaining part of the support assembly 3 is accommodated in the second part 1032 of the second packaging 103.
  • the internal height and width of the second part 1032 are greater than the first height L1 and first width W1 of the first part 1031 respectively and the sum of the first length L1 and second length L2 is such that the two parts of the second packaging 103 overlap when the support assembly 3 with length L3 is packed therein, i.e. in the supply condition. Hence, the sum of first length L1 and second length L2 exceeds the length L3 of the support assembly L3.

  • the insulating assembly 5 is here accommodated freely in the first packaging 101 and is not packed in sub-packaging nor is it temporarily fixated to the first packaging.
  • temporary it is to be understood a fixation that allows the component or sub-packaging in question to be held safely to the first packaging 101 when the installation kit 100 is in the supply condition, but which at the same time allows release of the component when preparing for installation.
  • Fig. 9 further shows strips of adhesive 1061, 1062 for temporarily fixating components of the first set of installation assemblies and/or the sub-packaging thereof to the first packaging 101. These particular strips of adhesive 1061, 1062 are for temporarily fixating the components of the second installation assembly.
  • the second installation assembly 6; 6' is here a stabilizing assembly 6; 6', the components of which comprises two stabilizing rails 6a, 6b.
  • the stabilizing assembly 6; 6' has a second length L6, see Fig. 16 , which is shorter than the first length L5 of the side members 52, 53 of the first insulating assembly 5, and the distance between the strips of adhesive 1061, 1062 in the longitudinal direction in Fig. 9 is selected according to the second length L6 of the stabilizing assembly 6; 6'.
  • the stabilizing rails 6a, 6b are at least partly composed of sturdy and robust materials, typically a metal such as steel, to reinforce respective side members of a frame of the window unit 11, 12 to which they are fastened. As such, the stabilizing rails 6a, 6b are relatively heavy in comparison with for instance the insulating assembly 5.
  • the components of the stabilizing assembly 6 are partially packed in two pieces of sub-packaging 1063, 1064 at both longitudinal ends of the components.

  • the upstanding wall can aid in positioning the components of the first installation assembly 5 and in keeping them in place. Having an inclined surface reduces the amount of the material needed and allows for a snug fit for the components of the second installation assembly 6, while providing a tall upstanding wall.
  • Fig. 11 the sub-packaging 1063 has an inclined upper surface, the upper surface being the surface facing substantially upwards in the height direction.
  • the sub-packaging 1063 will have an upstanding wall portion facing the components of the first installation assembly 5, said upstanding wall portion having a greater height than the opposite wall of the sub-pack

  • the alternative sub-packaging 1063' is intended for use with a stabilizing assembly 6' which has a larger width than the stabilizing assembly 6.
  • the stabilizing assembly 6 shown in Fig. 11 has a smaller width than the stabilizing assembly 6' thus allowing a smaller gap between neighbouring window units 11, 12 than the stabilizing assembly 6'.
  • Fig. 10 further shows a strip of adhesive 1981 extending in the longitudinal direction LP at the side edge 1013 opposite to the first installation assembly 5.
  • This adhesive strip 1981 is for temporarily fixating a gutter element 98, an auxiliary equipment, to the first packaging 101, which is shown in Fig. 13 .
  • the gutter element 98 has a length in the longitudinal direction in the supply condition, which is shorter than the first length L5 of the side members 52, 53 of the insulating assembly 5, which side members 52, 53 are the longest components among the components of the first set of installation assemblies.

  • the cardboard box 104 is a sub-packaging entirely containing the third installation assembly, which in this case is the mounting assembly 4, the components of which include four mounting brackets.
  • the cardboard box 104 is located in abutment with one open cardboard box 1064 in which the components of the second installation assembly 6 is partially packed.
  • a sub-packaging 107 of the fourth installation assembly temporarily fixated to the first packaging 101 by a strip of adhesive (not shown).
  • the fourth installation assembly is in this embodiment a plurality of receiver brackets 7 and preferably also a demount tool. As shown in Fig.
  • the receiver brackets 7 are entirely packed in a sub-packaging 107, which is a cardboard box.
  • the cardboard box 107 is in this embodiment in abutment with the side members 52, 53 of the installation assembly 5, whereby it functions as a positioning element for the side members 52, 53 in the width direction WP of the first packaging 101.
  • the side members 52, 53 are kept in place in the packed installation kit 100, even though they are accommodated freely in the first packaging 101.
  • components of the installation kit 100 which are heavy and/or bulky are strategically positioned in the first packaging 101.
  • the stabilizing assembly 6 is secured to the bottom of the first packaging 101, at a central position as seen in the width direction WP, by the open cardboard boxes 1063, 1064. Since the second length L6 of the stabilizing assembly 6 is smaller than the first length L5 of the insulating assembly 5, for which the length of the first packaging 101 is dimensioned, the right-hand cardboard box 1064 is positioned at a distance from the right-hand shorter side of the first packaging 101. In this way, not only is the stabilizing assembly 6 kept securely in place during transportation, but it is also possible to utilize the stabilizing assembly 6 as a dividing wall in the first packaging, keeping components and/or sub-packagings securely in place in the first packaging 101.
  • Such further installation assemblies and auxiliary equipment include a vapour barrier collar 97 which is packed in the packaging 101, the vapour barrier collar being an auxiliary equipment.
  • the vapour barrier collar 97 is here packed in a plastic bag 197 and located at a corner of the first packaging 101 between one of the open cardboard box 1063 accommodating the components of the second installation assembly 6, and the end edge 1011.
  • the fifth installation assembly comprising the cover plate 8 has a length L8 shorter than the first length L5 of the side members 52, 53 of the first installation assembly 5 and is substantially the same length as the second length L6 of the stabilizing assembly 6; 6'.
  • the cover plate 8 is packed in a sub-packaging which is here a paper wrapping 108 enveloping the cover plate 8.
  • the cover plate 8 enveloped in paper wrapping is positioned on top of the sub-packagings 1063,1064 which accommodate the components of the stabilizing assembly 6; 6'.
  • the cover plate 8 may be at least partly kept in place between the vapour barrier collar 97 and the two sets of top and bottom members 511, 512; 541, 542 of the insulating assembly 5, as well as the cardboard box 104.
  • the fourth and fifth installation assemblies 7, 8 constitute sub-assemblies of a common installation assembly which serves to cover the gap between the two window units 11, 12 as shown in Figs. 6 .
  • auxiliary equipment packed in the first packaging 101 include a tape roll 96a provided on top of the packaging 107 accommodating the fourth installation assembly 7, an underroof collar 96 which is packed in a plastic bag 196 and an installation manual (not shown).
  • Fig. 1 may thus be said to constitute a final condition of the packing of the installation kit 100.
  • the second, third and fourth installation assemblies 4, 6, 7 and the gutter element 98 are temporarily fixated to the first packaging 101 by strips of adhesive, while the remaining components of the first set of installation assemblies are accommodated freely in the first packaging 101.
  • Some of the remaining components, namely the first installation assembly 5, are held in place by some of the components which are temporarily fixed, reducing the amount of adhesive in the first packaging 101.
  • the amount of adhesive used in the packaging is comparatively low relative to the amount of packaging. Keeping the amount of adhesive low can increase the recycling value of the packaging, as cardboard recycling restricts the amount of "unwanted material", such as adhesive, in the cardboard material.
  • the first packaging 101 may be closed and sealed by suitable means including adhesive, tape strips, clamps and/or staples. To some extent, this applies also to the second packaging 103. Opening of the packagings 101, 103 is typically carried out by tearing or cutting at suitable positions to expose the contents. It is also conceivable to include opening means in the form of tear strips to provide facilitated opening. If so, it is preferred that the tear strips are of the perforated type, i.e. not involving a thread or wire of plastic or metal material.
  • Fig. 18 is a view of auxiliary equipment comprising an underroof collar 96, in which the sub-packaging of the underroof collar which is a plastic bag 196, is intended for collection of waste, in particular plastic waste during unpacking of the installation kit 100 and installation of the roof window system 1.
  • the plastic bag 196 is provided with a label 1960 with a recycling logo 1965. The plastic bag 196 with any accommodated plastic waste may then be put into a recycling container dedicated to plastic.
  • Fig. 19 shows the recycling logo 1965 in more detail. Alternative embodiments of the recycling logo 1965 are shown in Figs 20 to 23 .
