Definitions

• the invention relates to a foldable roof window for a pitched roof with a base frame and a window sash, which can optionally be attached to one of at least two sides of the same length of the base frame, the window sash being articulated on the base frame with at least one hinge which connects one to the window sash Movable hinge part and a fixed hinge part, and a locking device spaced from the hinge for fixing the window sash with at least one locking element connectable to the base frame.
• Skylights usually have a rectangular base frame that can be installed in the roof and a window sash articulated to the base frame.
• a window sash articulated to the base frame To connect the window sash and base frame, at least one hinge is provided on a factory-specified side of the base frame, in which the fixed hinge part is formed in one piece with the base frame and the movable hinge part is made in one piece with the window sash.
• the hinge parts are non-detachably connected to each other by a bolt serving as a pivot axis.
• Such a skylight only has an opening direction specified in the factory. A subsequent change in the opening direction is not possible, so that when planning the roof structure and installing the roof window, care must be taken that the opening of the
• a roof window with a rectangular base frame in which each of the four sides of the base frame has a fixed hinge part.
• the window sash to be hinged has a long and a short side with a movable hinge part Mistake.
• the hinge used to connect the window sash and the base frame is created by a detachable bolt that connects the fixed hinge part of the base frame and the movable hinge part of the window sash.
• the known roof window has four opening directions, depending on which side of the base frame the hinge parts are connected to one another.
• a locking rod hinged to the window sash is provided as a locking device, which can be fixed in four devices arranged on the inside of the base frame for tensioning, laying on or hooking.
• the object of the present invention is to provide a roof window, the window sash of which can optionally be attached to one of at least two sides of the same length of the base frame, which enables a safe exit onto the roof and which can be produced inexpensively.
• the hinge parts are pivotally connected to one another, that the fixed hinge part has a holder which can be attached to the selected side of the base frame, and that contact surfaces are provided on the base frame for optional attachment of the holder or the locking element are.
• the stop side of the window sash is freely selectable, because the holder of the Fixed hinge part and the locking element of the locking device are constructed identically in the area that can be applied to the contact surfaces, so that the holder and the locking element can be interchangeably attached to each side of the base frame provided with contact surfaces.
• the holder and the locking element can, for example, be provided with two through bores, and the contact surface can be provided with two bores, which are aligned with the through bores of the holder or the locking element, analogously to the holder or the locking element.
• the holder or the locking element can be connected to the base frame by means of fastening elements which can be inserted into the bores.
• the fixed hinge part and the movable hinge part remain connected to one another, so that during the rotation there is a complete hinge which is rotated together with the window sash.
• the holder and the locking element are attached to the base frame again.
• the contact surfaces can be arranged axially symmetrically on the base frame of the roof window and recessed into the base frame, so that
• Holders and locking elements can be inserted into the depressions and are secured against displacement in the longitudinal or transverse direction during assembly.
• the holder or the latching element can be attached to the end face of the base frame, because in this way the fastening elements required for fastening the holder or the latching element by the Window sashes are hidden from theft.
• To attach the holder or the locking element to the end faces of the base frame it may be necessary to make the end faces of the base frame relatively wide, so that sufficiently large contact surfaces are created.
• base frames made of wood or plastic there is a relatively wide end face for reasons of stability and strength; in the case of stable base frames made of sheet metal, wide contact surfaces can be achieved by flanging the upper edge of the base frame.
• a particularly sturdy hinge which is suitable for articulating heavy window sashes with insulating glazing, arises when the fixed hinge part or the movable hinge part is designed as a U-shaped receptacle into which the other hinge part can be inserted.
• the two hinge parts can be connected to one another by a bolt passing through the U-shaped receptacle.
• the bolt connection is preferably designed as a burglar-proof, non-detachable connection.
• two half-hinges can be provided, the hinge parts of which can be connected to the frame of the window sash or to the base frame of the roof window at two points spaced as far apart as possible.
• Base frame and window sash can have an axisymmetric, preferably square, contour.
• a roof window which has a base frame and a window sash with sides of different lengths, with four opening directions
• Such a step is unnecessary if the base frame and window sash have a square contour.
• Particularly large roof windows arise when the base frame and window sash are hexagonal or octagonal, so that a roof window with six or eight opening directions is created.
• a particularly firm connection of the holder or the latching element to the base frame can be achieved if the holder or the latching element can be attached to the side surface and to the end face of the base frame. This can be achieved if the holder or the latching element engages around the contact surfaces in a U-shape, so that fastening elements can be introduced into the base frame from two directions.
• Base frame can be effected if the holder and the locking element are designed as a kind of plug-in shoe, in which the upper part of the holder or the locking element engages around the end face of the base frame in a U-shape and the lower part of the holder or the locking element as an L-shaped angle is designed so that the holder or the locking element is supported with the short leg of the angle on the outer side wall of the base frame.
• the U-shaped gripping of the contact surfaces and the support on the side wall of the base frame cause the window sash to be fixed on the base frame before the fastening elements are attached.
• the holder or the locking element can be non-positively and / or positively connected to the base frame in the area of the contact surfaces. Fastening elements such as screws, rivets or the like can be used for the non-positive connection.
• the holder, the locking element and the contact surfaces are to be provided in an analogous manner with bores which serve to receive the fastening elements.
• a form-fitting attachment of the holder to the base frame is possible if the holder is provided with a base plate which has hole-like recesses.
• the base plate can be insertable into a U-shaped sheet metal bracket attached to the outer side surface of the base frame, which is provided with metal tongues which can be bent into the hole-like recesses of the base plate.
• the locking element can be fastened to the side of the base frame opposite the hinge.
• the window sash of an open roof window can be easily locked when the window sash is on
• Closure element is articulated, which has receptacles for the locking element attached to the base frame.
• the closure element can be designed as a pressure rod, which at certain intervals has clamp-like recesses distributed over its entire length, into which a latching element designed as a round pin can be inserted.
• a pressure rod articulated to the window sash can also be provided as the closure element, which is guided through a U-shaped tab fastened to the base frame.
• the U-shaped tab can have a threaded hole into which a screw with a knurled handle can be screwed in order to fix the compression rod.
