  • Patent number: 6273173
    Abstract: The mounting and parallel guidance arrangement comprises a mounting bar (1) designed for releasable interconnection with the bottom bar of the screening device and having a through-going hollowness, two parallel guidance cords (2, 3), each being led through said mounting bar and comprising end parts which protrude from each end of the mounting bar, and installation brackets (4-7) for the free end of each of the end parts. The two installation brackets (4, 6; 5, 7) for a cord are meant to be fastened at the top of a first main frame or sash side member and at the bottom of the other main frame or sash side member opposite in relation to the first one, respectively. The releasable inter-connection of the mounting bar (1) with the bottom bar can be effected by means of clips.

  • Patent number: 6223803
    Abstract: A window with a substantially rectangular main frame structure with an openable sash structure comprises a built-in roller screening device comprising a flexible screening web having one end secured to a spring-loaded roller member and an opposite end connected with a rigid end member. A roller member is received in bracket members at respective ends of a longitudinal cavity formed in one of a first pair of main frame members, whereas in each of second pair of main frame members extending at right angles to the first pair a longitudinal guide track is formed to receive respective ends of said rigid end member and optionally edge regions of the screening web. The cavity is closed against the light-admitting area by a detachable cover member leaving a narrow slit-opening for passage of the screening web and permitting arrangement, removal or replacement.

  • Patent number: 6167661
    Abstract: A window for mounting in an inclined roof surface has a frame structure and a sash structure, which is hingedly connected (13-15;51-53) with the frame structure for pivoting about a horizontal axis relative thereto, and in which an insulating pane (3;33) is mounted. The top, bottom and side members (1,2,4,5;31,32,34,35) of the frame and sash structures are made from wood profiles with exterior cladding members (16-18;46,48) of weather-protecting material which, in the closed position of the window, overlap the spaces between the frame and sash structures and the hinge connection between the structures.

  • Patent number: 6164025
    Abstract: The window comprises a frame structure and relative to the frame structure an openable, top-hung sash structure with an insulating pane (4) enchased between top, bottom and side members (5-7) of metal or plastic profiles. The insulating pane (4) is manufactured with dimensions corresponding to the exterior dimensions of the frame structure for direct abutment on a gasket (11-13) fastened to the exterior edge surfaces (17-19) of the top, bottom and side members of the frame structure, and the top, bottom and side members of the frame structure are made from a thermally well insulating material and on the interior side facing the light admitting area of the window covered by metal sheet profiles (31) for providing a good heat transmission to border areas of the insulating pane (4). The frame structure may consist of wood profiles (23) connected in profiled mitre joints (24).

  • Patent number: 6138738
    Abstract: An external screening mechanism for a pivotable skylight window comprises a web of a screening material which is wound on a spring-biased roller and is connected with a bottom bar which is guided in side guide rails and connected via a cord drive with an unrolling drive unit. The side guide rails for the bottom bar run along the parts of the frame side portions situated above the axis of rotation and the parts of the sash side portions situated below the axis of rotation, and an essentially rod-shaped support arrangement is attached to and extends across the screening web and is led in the side guide rails so that, in a position of use for the screening mechanism, it is positioned at or close to the axis of rotation in parallel therewith. The device may be provided with an arrangement for retightening and smoothing the web in the fully drawn position and during rewinding.
