Abstract
A roof light mounted on a curb 1 surrounding an aperture in a roof comprises base frame members 3 and abutments 4 which carry arcuate members 8, 9 bearing the curved glazing sheets. Each abutment 4 is connected to the semi-circular face 3a of the member 3 at any desired angle by the screw 5. The external surfaces of the member 3 are covered by strips 13, 15 of insulated material and the end of screw 5 by an insulating cap 5d. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
A roof light mounted on a frame portion bounding a roof aperture
This invention relates to a roof light mounted on a frame portion which bounds a roof aperture.
A roof light is known in which a shell-shaped section of the bottom profile is a slit tube extending right along it. A further tube is inserted concentrically in the slit tube. It has a longitudinal web which passes through the slit in the first tube and which joins it integrally with a profile element forming the abutment for the supporting profiles, the profile element like the bottom profile being made of light metal. The advantage of this type of connection between abutment and bottom profile is that, provided the slit in the tubular section of the bottom profile is wide enough, any angles which will be met with in practice between the flat or curved glazing or its supporting profiles and the horizontal can be obtained without changing the bottom profile and/or the abutment.
A considerable disadvantage of this construction, however, is the inevitable cold bridge which is present throughout the connection region, as a result of the directly engaging metal profiles, which cannot be replaced by plastics profiles for reasons of strength.
The invention therefore aims to provide a roof light of the above type without such a cold bridge.
According to the present invention there is provided a roof light mounted on a frame portion which bounds a roof aperture, comprising at least two bottom profiles fixed on the frame portion, each bottom profile extending outside of the fame and terminating in a semi-circular shaped section, to which an abutment is connected at an adjustable angle with spaced supporting profiles for glazing bearing against them, each abutment comprising a base portion which bears against the outer surface of the semi-circular shaped section of the bottom profile facing towards the roof aperture and which is screwed to the base portion, the external surfaces of the bottom profile being covered by plastic profiles.
The idea on which this solution is based is that, instead of having an abutment extending right along the arrangement, only a base portion is provided in the region of each connecting point of a supporting profile, and the base portion is transposed to the interior, so that it bears against the bottom profile from its "warm" side while the "cold", outwardly facing side of the bottom profile is kept free for application of plastics covering profiles providing the necessary heat insulation.
The necessary screw connection between the base portion and the bottom profile may be designed to prevent any new cold bridges from forming.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of an example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a roof light having a row of curved windows; and
Figure 2 is a cross-section on a larger scale taken along the line A-A indicated on Figure 1 which is through the region where a supporting profile adjoins the frame portion.
The roof light shown in Figure 1 comprises a row of curved windows built over a frame portion, e.g. a supporting frame and consists of three panels of which the central one is a ventilating panel. Each panel comprises a pane of synthetic glass with its curved longitudinal edges held and sealed in supporting profiles extending between two opposed bottom profiles.
Figure 2 is a larger-scale fragmentary section taken along the line A-A in Figure 1, showing how the supporting profiles are fixed to the bottom profiles. Each bottom profile 3 is screwed onto the frame portion 1 with an interposed cover plate 2. The profile 3 extends beyond the outside face of the frame portion 1, and terminates in a substantially semi-circular section whose outer surface faces towards the interior of the roof light and has a base portion 4 which a complementary opposed curved surface secured to it.
The base portion 4 is connected to the semicircular section of the bottom profile 3 by a screw 5 which extends outwardly. The screw 5 extends through a slot 3a provided in the semi-circular section of the bottom profile 3 and through a plastics bush 5a and is provided with a nut 5c. The nut Sc presses the inner end face of the bush 5a, which corresponds with the curved shape of the semi-circular section, against the inner surface of the semi-circular section. The nut 5c, including the screw-threaded part of the screw 5 projecting beyond it, is heat insulated to the necessary degree by a plastics cap 5d.The upper part of the base portion 4 carries a rocker 7 mounted on a pivot 6, and the profile members 8 and 9 forming the supporting profile engage the rocket 7 by means of bolts 10 and 1 The profile members 8 and 9 are tensioned by means of the rocker 7 and a screw 12, the screw 12 bearing against the rocker 7 and being supported in a screw -threaded hole in the base portion 4.
With this construction complete thermal separation is obtained between the outer region and the inner region of the roof light, since there is no direct connection between the upper member 8 and the lower member 9 of the supporting profile, and since the base portion 4 forming the abutment for the supporting profile bears against the bottom profile 3 from inside it.
Thus the outside of the bottom profile 3 is freely accessible for application of a heat insulating plastic profile 13 to insulate the concave internal surface of the shell section of the bottom profile 3, and for application of a connecting profile 15, also made of plastics and spanning the external surface region of the bottom profile 3 between the plastics profile 13 and the roof membrane 16.
The thermal separation obtained is not even impaired by a covering profile 14, possibly made of light metal, for the whole region connecting the supporting profile and subsequent double glazing with the bottom profile 3. The lower limb of the covering profile 14 is held positively in the plastics profile 13.
Claims (5)
1. A roof light mounted on a frame portion which bounds a roof aperture, comprising at least two bottom profiles fixed on the frame portion, each bottom profile extending outside of the frame and terminating in a semi-circular shaped section, to which an abutment is connected at an adjustable angle with spaced supporting profiles for glazing bearing against them, each abutment comprising a base portion which bears against the outer surface of the semi-circular shaped section of the bottom profile facing towards the roof aperture and which is screwed to the base portion, the external surfaces of the bottom profile being covered by plastic profiles.
2. The roof light as claimed in claim 1, in which the external surface of the semi-circular shaped section of the bottom profile is covered by a first, partly mating plastics profile, and that the plastics profile in turn holds the lower limb of a covering profile which protects the region where the bottom profile adjoins the glazing.
3. The roof light as claimed in claim 2, in which the bottom profile is provided with a profile web to them thereon a plastics connecting profile, which spans the region between the plastic profile and a roof membrane.
4. The roof light as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, in which the base portion is fixed to the semi-circular shaped section of the bottom profile by means of a slot extending in the peripheral direction of that section, by a screw extending through the slot and through an adjoining plastics bush, and by a nut which presses the plastics bush against the semicircular shaped section, with a closed plastics cap seated on the nut.
5. A roof light mounted on a frame portion which bounds a roof aperture, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
