Description

BURGLAR PROOF ROOF WINDOW
The present invention relates to a pivot window, especially, but not exclusively, a pivot window for installation on an inclined roof comprising a sash accommodated by two hinge devices in a frame structure, and to a hinge device for such a window. In particular, the invention relates to a hinge for a pivot window, and being of the type comprising two hinge parts having base plates to be secured to the frame and the sash.
BACKGROUND ART
Roof windows of this type are well known and are widely used for providing admittance of daylight in ceilings of buildings. A locking mechanism arranged at the upper or lower end of the sash prevents the sash from being opened unintentionally. The use of such windows in exposed places, e.g. in relatively flat roof structures or close to landings or similar building parts, where the window is easily accessible from the outside may be problematic due to the risk of burglary.
Attempts have been made to render these type of windows more burglar proof. EP 0 969 178 discloses a roof window with a pivotable sash arranged in a main frame and being provided with an adjustable ventilation cover for providing ventilation in a closed position of the sash through a ventilation passage between opposed members of the sash and the main frame and sash locking means connected with the ventilation cover, one or more burglary preventing members are arranged in the ventilation passage to prevent manual access to the ventilation cover and/or the locking means from the external side of the window.
A non protected part in the construction of this type of windows remains though the connection between the hinge device and the wooden window frame. Usually, the base plate of a hinge part is secured to a side member of the window frame by screws extending through holes in the base plate and screwed into the wooden side member. A hinge device secured in this way to the window frame is e.g. known from WO90/04078. It has been shown possible to force the hinge member in a destructive manner from the side member by e.g. using a crowbar placed between the base plate and the side member, and thus, force the screws out of engagement with the wood.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
On this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a roof window of the kind referred to above, with improved burglary preventing characteristics. This object is achieved in accordance with claim 1 by providing the roof window with means to secure the base plate to the side member of the window frame that comprise at least one transversely extending member connecting the base plate to at least one transverse force spreading element. Thus, the transverse forces that could be applied by forcing a crowbar between the base plate and the side member of the window frame are distributed over a large area of the side member and the effort required to separate the base plate from the side member is thus significantly increased.
The transverse force spreading element may be a reinforcing plate arranged on the outward facing side of the side member of the window frame. This reinforcing plate could be a metal plate or a fiber reinforced plastic plate.
The transversely extending member connecting the base plate to the reinforcing plate may be a bolt protruding through a bore in the reinforcing plate and in threaded engagement with a threaded bore in the base plate.
Alternatively, the transverse member may be formed by a rod or strip in rigid connection with the base plate and the reinforcing plate.
In another variation, the transversely extending member may be formed by an integral part of the base plate, preferably in the form of a lip or a protrusion received in a corresponding recess in the side member of the window frame.
The lip and/or the protrusion are preferably provided with at least one through-going aperture for receiving the transverse force spreading element. The transverse force spreading element may be formed by a rod, a strip or a bolt, preferably received in a bore or slot in the side member of the window frame .
The roof window may further comprise a locking means for locking the sash structure to the frame structure, and preferably further comprising an auxiliary locking means for locking the sash structure to the frame structure.
The roof window may also comprise a cover plate extending over top of the side member, this cover plate preferably being integral with the reinforcing plate or the base plate.
On the above background, it is a further object of the present invention to provide a hinge device for a pivot window of the kind referred to above with improved burglary preventing characteristics. This object is achieved in accordance with claim 11 by providing the hinge device with means to secure the base plate to the side member of the window frame that comprise at least one transversely extending member connecting the base plate to at least one transverse force spreading element.
Further objects, features, advantages and properties of the pivot window and the hinge device according to the invention will become apparent from the detailed description.

Fig. 4 is a view on the inner side of the pivot window showing means to lock the window, and
Fig. 5 is a third embodiment of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the embodiment shown in Fig 1, the roof window according to the invention is an openable window with a frame structure comprising a top member 5, a bottom member 6, and side members 7 and 8, and an openable sash structure with a top member 1, a bottom member 2 , and side members 3 and 4.
By means of pivotal hinges 9, known per se, between the frame and sash side members 3,4 and 7,8. The sash structure is pivotally journalled in the frame structure with an axis of rotation parallel with the top and bottom members and substantially halfway between them.
The top, bottom and side members of the frame and sash structures are for the major part built up by wood. These profiles are usually provided on all surfaces that are exposed to the weather with covering members which are constituted of comparatively thin metal sheet profiles, for instance of aluminium, and which together provide a completely weather- shielding enclosure of the window (not shown) .
In a first preferred embodiment, best shown in Fig. 2a, each hinge 9 comprises a hinge part belonging to the window frame and a hinge part belonging to the sash. The hinge part belonging to the sash includes a base plate 11. The base plate 11 is provided with holes for mounting screws (not shown) for securing it to the side member of the sash. The hinge part belonging to the window frame includes a base plate 10 secured to the inside facing surface of a side member 7 of the window frame. A reinforcing plate 15 is provided on the outside facing surface of the side member 7. The reinforcing plate 15, is preferably a metal plate, such as a zinc coated steal plate, or a fiber reinforced plastic plate.
The reinforcing plate is provided with through going bores that receive bolts 14, which extend through bores in the side member 7 into threaded bores provided in the base plate 10.
The bolts 14 transmit the transverse forces applied to the base plate 10 to the reinforcing plate 15. The reinforcing plate 15 spreads the transverse forces over a larger surface area of the side member 7,8. The wood of the side member 7,8 is able to resist the thus applied pressures caused by attempts to separate the base plate 10 with a crowbar or the like, and breaking into a building provided with this improved roof window is made more difficult.
A cover plate 12, is provided over the top of the side member 7 and the base plate 10 to make it more difficult to place a crowbar or the like between the side member 7 and the base plate 10.
The base plate 10 is provided with two raised walls constituting a part circular guide channel. A correspondingly shaped curved slide member is received within this channel. The curved slide member is pivotally connected to the base plate 11 of the hinge part belonging to the sash. This mechanism connecting the two hinge parts in a pivotal manner to one another is well known in the art and therefore not described in further detail here.
In a variation of the first embodiment, shown in Fig. 2b, the cover plate is integral with the reinforcement plate 15 for simplifying and reinforcing the overall construction. In a second preferred embodiment, best shown in Fig. 3, each hinge 9 also comprises a hinge part belonging to the window frame and a hinge part belonging to the sash. The hinge part belonging to the sash includes a base plate 11 provided with a lip 18 extending into a slot in the side member 3 of the window sash. The lip is formed in a well known member by forming a U-shaped slit in the base plate 11 and bending thus created lip approximately 90° so that it extends transversely from the base plate 11. The lip 18 is provided with a through- going-bore. A rod 19, received in a blind bore arranged in the side member 3 extends through the bore in the lip 18. The base plate may be provided with more than one lip 18, and even more rods 19, depending on the size of the window and the size of the base plate. The rods 19 have the same function as the reinforcing plate 15 in the first embodiment, i.e. to transform the transverse forces applied in attempts to separate the base plate 10,11 from the side member 3,4,7,8 into relatively low pressures to the wooden structure.
The base plate 10 is secured to the side member 7 in a similar manner by a lip 16 having a bore receiving a rod 17 that extends in a blind bore in the side member 7.
The rods 17 and 19 may be replaced by strips or the like, with the aperture in the lips 16,18 being shaped correspondingly.
Preferably the hinge 9 and its securing means are made from metal, such as steel or strong plastic materials, such as fiber reinforced plastics or combinations thereof.
As best seen in Fig. 4, two cylinder locks 20 are secured to the sash proximate to its upper member 1. The cylinder lock 20 comprises a latch 21 controlled by a cylinder 23 that can extend into a recess in the side member 7 or 8 to secure the sash against undesired opening. An auxiliary locking device is arranged on the opposite side of the sash, in the bottom member 2. The locking mechanism (not shown), that can engage with the window frame is operated by a handle 24.
Fig. 5 shows a third embodiment of the invention in which the base plate (10) is integral with the cover plate (12) which is in turn integral with the reinforcing plate (15) . In this embodiment the transverse forces are transported from the base plate (10) to the reinforcing plate (15) via the cover plate (12) which has thus a double function.
