Definitions

• the present invention relates to a combination of a skylight window with a frame structure and an attachment device for sealing attachment of the frame structure to an internal vapour barrier membrane of an underroof structure, which attachment device is designed as a whole collar of welded attachment elements of flexible webs of a material with vapour barrier properties corresponding to said membrane.
• the existing vapour barrier membrane at the cut-out opening for the window may as a rule be supplemented with separate attachment elements which are connected to the membrane by means of tape or staples.
• frame structures of the type known per se which in an inner edge side of each frame member are provided with a longitudinal mounting groove, such attachment elements may be pressed into the mounting grooves on the inner edge sides of the frame members by means of separate plate members, e.g. of insulation material, before the mounting of an inner cladding in the form of a board layer or panels on the innerside of the underroof structure.
• the mounting and installation work is thus hindered to a considerable degree.
• the object of the invention is to provide an attachment device to be used in a combination of the stated kind which facilitates the mounting work to a considerable extent.
• said frame structure is of the kind where a longitudinal mounting groove is provided in an inner edge side of each frame member and that press-in pieces of a relatively stiffer material are fastened to a strip-shaped zone parallel to and in short distance from the inner side edges of the attachment elements for pressing-in of said zone into the grooves of the frame structure, said press-in pieces being designed with dimensions for form-fit pressing-in into said grooves, whereby at each corner between mutually adjoining attachment elements two angular press-in pieces are fastened to said zone in each of the two elements close to said corner.
• Fig. 1 in perspective shows a section of a roof structure during installation of a skylight window when using a conventional mounting technique
• Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are a perspective, a side view, and a folded-out section, respectively, of an embodiment of an vapour barrier collar according to the invention.
• FIG. 1 shows the frame 1 of a skylight window being installed between two neighbouring rafters 2 in a roof structure with an underroof structure arranged essentially between the rafters 2 and with an inner cladding 3 in the form of a board layer or panels fastened to the inner side of the rafters 2, a vapour barrier membrane 4, which may be produced by plastic foil, aluminium foil, kraft paper or laminates hereof, an isolation layer 5, the outside of which is arranged at a distance below the outside of the rafters 2 in order to provide ventilation, and an outer cladding 6, on the outside of which a non-shown weather-shielding outer membrane is positioned and to which is fastened an arrangement of counter battens 7 and battens 8 as a support for a non-shown outer roofing which can consist of tiles or slates.
• a vapour barrier membrane 4 which may be produced by plastic foil, aluminium foil, kraft paper or laminates hereof
• an isolation layer 5 the outside of which is arranged at a distance below the outside of the
• mounting grooves 9 serving for the mounting of non-shown lining panels or another form of cladding of the embrasure or the reveal to finish the mounting are provided in the internal edge sides of the top, bottom and side members.
• the frame structure 1 and the vapour barrier membrane 4 are by known mounting technique usually supple- mented with separate attachment elements which, as described in the preceding, are pressed into the grooves 9, by use of the separate plate members 10, e.g. of isolation material, fitting into the grooves.
• the mounting work is thus made more difficult and expensive to a considerable extent.
• a significant simplification of the mounting work is obtained by means of an attachment device designed as a whole collar, in the following designated as a vapour barrier collar which may be designed as shown in Fig. 2-4.
• the vapour barrier collar 11 which is preferably produced of the same material as the vapour barrier membrane 4 or of a material with corresponding vapour barrier properties, is composed of four collar members 12, 13, 14 and 15, respectively, connected by welding of which the members intended to be fastened on the top and botton members 12 and 14 of the frame structure are essentially rectangular, whereas the members 13 and 15 intended to be fastened on the side members of the frame structure 1 are trapezoidal, such that the elements composed to a whole collar 12-15 after fastening into the frame grooves 9 are in abutment against the sides of the embrasure or reveal .
• the collar elements 12-15 are bent or folded against the vapour barrier membrane 4 possibly with a seal to assure a tight connection.
• the strip-shaped zone 16 and the press-in pieces 18 and 19 can have a width corresponding to that of the mounting grooves 9, such that the press-in pieces 18 and 19 can be pressed form- fit into the grooves 9 and thus retain the vapour barrier collar 11 to the frame structure 1.
• the press-in pieces 18 and 19 are designed as oblong and angular pieces, respectively, of an elastic deformable material, e.g. a thermoplastic material.
• the angular press-in pieces 19 are positioned in the strip-shaped zones 16 at the corners between the mutually adjoining collar elements and comprise a leg 19a which is fastened in the strip-shaped zone 16 and a leg 19b projecting perpendicularly from the zone towards the inner side edge 17 of the collar element .
• a splitting 21 is formed in the edge zone 20 positioned between the strip-shaped zone 16 and the inner side edge 17 of each collar element to extend along the side edge of the projecting leg 19b facing away from the corner.
