Abstract

A conventional skylight for living rooms in attics, where the main frame (1) and an exterior flashing (2) are reinforced by fixed stiffening rails (3) at least along the sides extending parallel to the roof inclination. At least at the end facing upwards when mounting the window in the roof and preferably also at the downward facing end, each of said stiffening rails is telescopically connected with mounting fixtures (9, 8, resp.) which can be adjusted to and fixed in the roof laths of the roof structure.

Description

Window for installation in pitched roof

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a window for installation in an inclined roof, in particular a roof window with a reinforcing frame and in particular to facilitating its installation in the roof. ^FROM

The state of the art

Conventional roof windows for living rooms in the attic consist of a wooden, permanently shaped frame with separately made lining guides, which are supplied with the window and, after installation, are fixed to the roof structure.

The reduction in production and assembly costs was achieved by improving the plastics production technology, which now allows the frame and flashing to be manufactured by casting or molding from a suitable plastic, preferably fiber reinforced, in a casting or molding mold. The frame and flashing may then form integral parts or may be formed so as to be easy to assemble, for example by latching, either at the manufacturing site or on site. The frame may then have a thinner wall and may be hollow, which on the one hand means saving relatively expensive material and, on the other hand, reducing weight. However, the frame produced in this way will no longer be strong enough to be self-supporting and will need to be reinforced with reinforcing frames at least on sides which, when fitted, are parallel to the roof pitch. These reinforcing frames are usually mounted under the frame itself and are connected to it and further serve to secure the window to the roof structure. They are usually made of wood and allow the frame to be nailed or screwed onto the roof battens.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a sloping roof window comprising a frame with a flat edging flange beneath which a reinforcing element is disposed, wherein the reinforcing element is formed by at least two profiles having a bracket at their lower end for attachment to a horizontal lower slat. the sloping roof, and at the upper end of each profile, a telescopically displaceable member is mounted in the profile, the free end of which has an upper < RTI ID = 0.0 &gt; jaw &lt; / RTI &gt;

Preferably, each profile is hollow. and the movable member is formed by a rod.

In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the at least one profile has a locking mechanism.

Preferably, the locking mechanism is formed by a pin inserted in the holes formed in the hollow profile and in the displaceable component.

The distances of the fabrics on the roof can vary to some extent, for example depending on the type of roofing, which usually cannot be taken into account in the manufacture of the window. The same is true of the mounting height of the window relative to the slats, i. a desired distance of the top and bottom of the frame from adjacent top and bottom roof battens, which means that a pre-fabricated window of any standard size will often require some adaptation at the mounting location, in particular extension or shortening of the reinforcement elements or their displacement relative to the frame.

In the case of the window according to the invention, the extra work required for this adaptation is unnecessary, since the fastening elements can be easily extended or shortened according to their telescopic arrangement as required at the mounting location and in addition the fastening elements and brackets can be cheaply produced while maintaining the required strength. preferably by bending a sheet material, for example a metallized material or a stainless steel of a similar type.

It is often possible to estimate an optimum distance of the lower part of the frame from the adjacent lower roof battens, in which case there is no need to make a telescopic connection at the lower end of the reinforcement elements and the brackets can be attached to the reinforcement element at the factory.

Where each reinforcing element. is provided at each end with telescopically displaceable clamping means, these means can advantageously be manufactured as being lockable in the fastening element. In this case, the window is first loosely fixed by flushing the brackets on the individual slats of the roof structure and placing the child up or down in the desired position in which it is then locked.

A simple embodiment of the window with a flashing flange will be further referenced with the attached drawing.

according to the invention with the frame explained in more detail

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a window constructed in accordance with the invention.

Example

--- γ

In FIG. 1 shows an integrated window frame according to the invention, consisting of a frame X and a flat flashing flange 2 extending from the lower part of the frame X. Under this flat flashing flange 2 a pair of reinforcing elements consisting of profiles 3 that are rectangular and hollow. These profiles 3 extend in the direction of the window height and can be positioned closer to or below the side part of the frame X. They serve to prevent the frame X from being subjected to too much bending stress, so that it can then be manufactured with a wall thickness equal to the thickness of the flat flashing flange 2. The frame X can be provided with clamping devices for any type of vertical sliding window (not shown).

The roof structure comprises a horizontal lower slat 4, a first middle slat 5, a second middle slat 6 and a horizontal upper slat 7. The horizontal lower slat 4 and the horizontal upper slat 7 are continuous, while the other two are broken in the window opening and can be connected by means of profiles 3, for example by means of clamping means (not shown). At their lower end, the profiles 3 are provided with a lower bracket 8 by which they are fixed to the horizontal lower slat 4 by, for example, a pair of screws that pass into the horizontal lower slat 4 through holes in the lower bracket 8. The lower bracket 8 can be made in one piece with profile 3, in which various bends and cutouts can be made for this purpose. /.

At its upper end, the profile 3 is provided with an upper bracket 9 and is fixed thereto on a horizontal upper lath 7. This upper bracket 9, however, is mounted on the component 10. which is formed by a telescopic rod slidingly mounted in the profile

As soon as the upper bracket 9 is mounted on the horizontal upper lath 7, the component 10 can be locked in the profile 8, for example by inserting a pin 11 into the holes drilled in the side part of the profile 8. The upper bracket 9 including the component 10 can also be made of stainless steel.

In the orientation of the lower holder 8 and the upper holder 9 as shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to easily fix the horizontal slat 4 and the horizontal upper slat 7 from the lower side of the roof, but the previous fixing of the window can be facilitated by reverse displacement of the upper bracket 9 and lower bracket 8 so that the arms are parallel to the roof surface and lying on the upper parts however, in this case, the screw holes are covered with a flat flashing flange 2 if it is made in one piece with the frame X and the holes can thus be made in the arms perpendicular to the roof surface.
