Abstract: A roof window assembly is composed of a window component, a main frame component and, optionally, an integrated flashing component. The window component may be used independently and without modifications for a roof window installation employing a curb-frame. The window component features a novel design with an glazing element fitted in a profiled sheet metal frame, which can be made from a single continuous sheet metal profile bent into a polygonal frame shape with corner junctions. In both fixed and ventilating versions of the roof window assembly identical connecting members into open mutual engagement at the top side of the window and main frame components provides for easy mounting and dismounting of the window component with respect to the main frame component.

Abstract: A window for installation in a roof includes a window frame with frame pieces and mounting brackets. Each bracket includes an angular bracket member with first and second legs connected integrally with each other, and a substantially plate-shaped base member having an opening for receiving fasteners and is connected with the outer side wall of the frame piece. The angular bracket member is connected with the base member such that, in a transportation position of the window, the second leg of the angular bracket member protrudes inwards in relation to the base member, and, in an installation position, the second leg protrudes outwards. Locking mechanism locks the first leg relative to the base member in the installation position, and adjusting mechanism adjusts the position of the angular bracket member in at least a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frame piece of the window frame.

Four corner brackets are provided for mounting at respective corners of the curb, each said bracket having an abutment surface for abutment on the top edge of the curb and a support member for supporting two of said rails.

Each bracket member includes a relatively flat front part protruding from the frame surface and having a substantially smooth external surface, and the engaging mechanism (11-12; 111-112; 33-34) is provided by each coupling member (7; 107; 207; 307; 36) and includes a first engaging mechanism in the form of at least one contact surface on the coupling member engaging a circumferential surface part of a bracket member to provide temporary engagement therewith and non-resilient second engaging mechanism providing stable engagement of the coupling member with respect to the frame structure.

Abstract: A door or window operator includes a motor-driven double-chain operator with two chain members in a substantially closed operator housing separately in engagement with a rotating drive member and joined in a back-to-back arrangement. The chain members include links having hinge parts with parallel rotational axes oriented transversely to the direction of propagation of the chain member for engagement with neighboring chain links in the same chain member and having a back surface provided with zip engagement members for engaging corresponding engagement members on the back surfaces of adjacent links in the other chain member for securing the chain members in the joined operator member against displacement transversely to the opening/closing direction. The chain members allow a mutual displacement between neighboring links in the direction of the rotational axes and the separate chain paths extend only in a part of the housing in a plane common with the outlet openings.

Abstract: A deformable roof flashing material for use in connection with skylight windows and roof penetrating structures is provided. The roof flashing material includes a sandwich construction with two outer layers of metal foil and at least one intermediate layer positioned between the outer layers. The material has, in at least one direction, a continuous wave form. At least the intermediate layers adjacent to the outside layers are made from a non-adhesive resilient material. The wave form is formed in such a manner that it maintains the mutual positioning between the outer layers and the adjacent intermediate layers by friction.

Abstract: The window frame structure of the roof window is secured to the main frame structure within a predetermined range of the opening angle by means of a securing device comprising at least one torsion member. The torsion member is torsionally biased in the opening direction of the window and includes engagement means at a distance from the pivot axis for engagement with corresponding engagement means on the window frame structure. The securing device is automatically activated and deactivated during mounting and dismounting of the window frame from the main frame.
