In addition to standardization, this embodiment ensures that the installation of multiple windows adjacent to one another or one above the other can be carried out in a simple and advantageous manner, since the same brackets can be installed at all corner joints of the window.

In yet another modification of this embodiment, the leg portion is substantially in the shape of a parallelogram, wherein the mounting bracket viewed from above is in the shape of an arrow. This further facilitates the production process and storage, since a plurality of mounting brackets can be produced from the strip-shaped material blank, which are bent to form two leg parts which can be stacked one above the other.

In a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned frame forms a groove at least in the seam area between two adjacent frame parts, and the groove extends along the longitudinal direction of each frame part; At the end, said mounting bracket is provided with a flange perpendicular to each leg segment in the first leg portion and inserted into said slot. This embodiment allows for a particularly good and secure connection between the mounting bracket and the frame, and further simplifies installation by instructing the assembler to install the mounting bracket in a perpendicular direction to the frame parts, thereby allowing the window to be positioned relative to the surrounding roof. position.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment for the installation of adjacent and/or vertically stacked windows, said engagement means are provided on each lateral side of a leg segment in the second leg portion, In order to be connected with the mounting brackets of adjacent windows, the installation and positioning operations of such windows are greatly facilitated.

Preferably, the above-mentioned engaging mechanism is formed by at least one pair of convex-concave portions.

In order to provide a simple isolation of the frame from the outside in the installed position of the window, the above-mentioned mounting bracket is expediently provided with at least one partially punched flap which is bent in the installed position in the direction towards the roof structure. The flaps define a distance with respect to the batten elements respectively above and below the top and bottom parts of the frame, so that a panel formed, for example, of insulating material can be interposed between the frame and the roof structure.

Another aspect of the invention consists in forming a mounting bracket having the features of claims 9-16.

Detailed ways

In Fig. 1, a window 1 in an installation position in a sloping roof structure comprises rafters 2 extending in the direction of the roof slope and battens 3, which are placed opposite to the rafters 2. vertical. For the sake of clarity, only the outer frame of the window 1 is shown in the figure, wherein two side parts 4, 5 extend parallel to the rafters 2, a top part 6 and a bottom part 7 extend parallel to the above-mentioned slats . As the secondary strip 9 is placed above the top part 6 , the secondary strip 8 is positioned above the nearest continuous strip 3 below the bottom part 7 . In the installed state not shown in the figure, at least the bottom sub-slats are kept at a suitable distance from the nearest continuous roof slats in order to position the roofing material in such a way that the flashing can be placed behind Lay it in a satisfactory manner, preferably without having to adapt it to abnormal deformations, in order to obtain a firm flashing.

The frame parts 4-7 are connected to each other at corner joints, by means of which the frame is fastened to the roof structure by means of mounting brackets 10, wherein screws (not shown) pass through the secondary battens 8, 9 lead in and extend further down into the rafter 2 immediately below it.

2 to 6 show different embodiments of the above-mentioned stent. When describing various embodiments, components with the same or similar functions use the same symbols.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting bracket 10 is designed as a symmetrical gusset, and its plane of symmetry coincides with the bisecting plane of the corner joint. Said support 10 comprises a first leg portion 11 comprising two rectangular leg segments 11a, 11b which are respectively fixed to, for example, the bottom part 7 and the side part 5 of the frame. . The two plate-shaped leg sections 12a, 12b extend in a direction perpendicular to the leg sections 11a, 11b and together form a second leg section 12 for use in a mounting position. , against the top side of the slat 3 or, as shown in FIG. 1 , preferably against the bottom or top sub-slat 8 or 9 . The above-mentioned leg segments 12a, 12b are substantially in the shape of a parallelogram, so that the mounting bracket 10 seen from above is in the shape of an arrow, and here, when viewed from FIG. instruct.

In the opposite direction, a flange 13a, 13b extends in a direction perpendicular to each leg segment in the first leg portion 11, only one flange 13a being shown in FIG. The flanges 13a, 13b are used to be inserted into the grooves of the frame parts, the frame parts can be provided with one annular groove, also can be provided with multiple annular grooves at different heights on the frame, or be provided with Grooves at corner seams.

The above-mentioned second leg part 12 is provided with a partially punched folding line on the dividing line between the two leg segments 12a, 12b, and at a certain distance from the connection (point) with the first leg part 11. The flap 14 is bent downwards before installation, preferably during manufacture, in the direction towards the first leg portion 11, ie towards the roof structure in the installed position. In the above-mentioned bent down and installed position, the flap is pressed against the side of the slat or sub-slat immediately below, so that the slat part always maintains a minimum distance from the top or bottom part of the frame, so that Insert, for example, a plate of insulating material into this interspace. In other roof constructions, such as in concrete roofs or other "flat" constructions where the mounting bracket can be placed directly on a flat support portion, the flaps can be bent towards the rear so that they remain flush with the leg portion 11.

Finally, the mounting bracket 10 in the second leg portion 12 includes a plurality of preferably recessed holes 15 for positioning the mounting bracket 10 at the periphery of the frame corners and for positioning the flanges 13a, 13b. After fitting into corresponding slots in the frame members, a number of screws are received which screw down into the batten members and further down into the rafter structure immediately below.

In a preferred form of installation, the sub-bath is only used as a support or spacer and it is possible to divide the sub-bath into two separate parts. This results in a structure in which the load is transferred directly from the mounting brackets down to the rafter structure immediately below via mounting screws which provide the most reliable load transfer, where the mass of the roof battens is secondary.

Figures 3 and 4 show another embodiment of the mounting bracket. Only the differences from the foregoing embodiments will be specifically described below.

On the lateral edge of a leg segment 12a in the second leg portion 12, a semicircular columnar protrusion 16 is provided, the shape of which is the same as that of the lateral edge in the second leg segment 12b. The recesses 17 are complementary to each other. For manufacturing reasons which will be described further below, the flange 13a has a corresponding recess 18, but this recess does not interfere with the fastening of the mounting bracket to the frame part.

In addition, the flange 13b can be provided with a flap 13c at the end facing away from the plane of symmetry, and the flap 13c is bent downward along the bending broken line 13b at an angle of preferably 45°. Thus, by machining a hole in the groove of the frame, it is ensured that the bracket 10 is mounted on the frame in such a way that the flap 13a enters the hole.

As shown in Figure 4, the protrusions 16 and recesses 17 serve as an engaging mechanism for securing the brackets to each other when two windows are assembled together adjacently, and in this case up and down. The mounting bracket 10 for the window 1 engages with a corresponding mounting bracket 110 on a window on that side and with a mounting bracket 210 on a window 201 below. The above-mentioned mounting brackets 110 and 210 engage with the mounting bracket 310 on the fourth window 301 with their sides. All four mounting brackets 10, 110, 210, 310 are fixed to the rafters 2 and battens 3 in the roof structure in the manner described above, and the flaps 14, 114, 214, 314 are pressed against the sides of the battens 3 , and the rafters 2 avoid the above-mentioned flaps without hindrance.

Figure 5 shows a step in the process of manufacturing the mounting bracket 10 of the present invention. Using the blank shown in Figure 6 comprising the four mounting brackets to be formed, the various details of the final mounting bracket are stamped, including the flaps 14, fixing holes 15, engagement mechanisms 16, 17, and other Engagement means 19, 20 and a slot 21 forming a separation line between the two leg sections 11a and 11b in the first leg part. After the blank is divided into four parts, each part is bent relative to the second leg part 12 along the dotted line 22a, 22b, and the dotted line 23a, 23b, thereby forming the support in the first leg part respectively. The leg sections 11a, 11b, and the flanges 13a, 13b, and finally, the flap 14 are bent relative to the plane passing through the second leg portion 12 at the desired angle.

Although in the above-mentioned embodiments, the shape of the mounting bracket is basically the same, it is obvious that within the scope of the defined framework of the following claims, improvements can be made, such as the above-mentioned bracket can have two flaps 14 (not shown in the figure) shown), the flaps are located in each leg segment 12a, 12b in a symmetrical manner.
