[0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising: a window or covering
element, wherein the window or covering element exhibits a window or outer casement
pivotally mounted and capable of being accommodated in a window or other frame, with
which the aforementioned casement is pivotally mounted about vertical pivot bearings
in the aforementioned frame, and an air admission passage present along at least one
part of the aforementioned frame and the aforementioned casement when the window or
covering element is retained in the closed position, and a pivotally mounted covering
frame, arranged on the inside of the aforementioned window or covering element, for
closing and opening the aforementioned passage.
[0002] Ventilation is normally performed in windows by causing the window to be opened to
the desired degree. By opening the window by only a small amount, it is normally possible
to cause it to be locked in the opened position by precisely as much as the window
has been opened. There may be persons who are able to open the window from the outside,
however, in order to gain access through the window opening into the area concerned
that is normally covered by the window.
[0003] Previously disclosed are so-called ventilation windows in the form of an internal
panel and an external grille, although it is essentially necessary to provide an additional
window-like construction alongside the ordinary window. It is necessary in this case
either to increase the area occupied by the window and the ventilation panel to one
side of it, or to reduce the size of the ordinary window. These represent respectively
more expensive and less effective solutions to the problem.
[0004] Prior art
EP 0 256 441 A2 disclosures a glazed building element, such as a window or a door. A first movable
frame (112) is pivotable in a fixed frame (114), and a second movable frame (212)
is laterally hinged to the fixed frame (114).
[0005] The opening of said second movable frame (212) and the first movable frame (112)
can be done separate for each frame (212; 112) but never together.
[0006] The principal object of the present invention is thus, in the first instance, to
solve the aforementioned problems by simple and efficiently functioning means.
[0007] The aforementioned object is achieved by means of an arrangement in accordance with
the present invention, which is characterized essentially in that the window or outer
casement and the covering frame are capable of connection to one another, so that
the window or outer casement is caused to pivot together with the covering frame when
the latter is caused to pivot.

[0009] An arrangement 1 for a window or some other suitable covering element 2, which exhibits
a window casement or other outer casement 4 intended for a covering element pivotally
mounted and capable of being accommodated in a window frame or some other frame 3,
has an air admission passage 5 along at least one part, but preferably the entire
peripheral part of the aforementioned frame 3, when the window or some other suitable
covering element 2, is retained in the closed position I. Arranged on the inside 6
of the aforementioned window 2 or some other suitable covering element 2, i.e. internally
in relation to the horizontally H pivotally mounted window or covering element 2,
is a pivotally mounted covering frame 7, for example as shown in Fig. 1 and in other
drawings. The aforementioned air admission passage is formed in this case by a gap
5 formed permanently between the frame 3 and the outer casement 4 when the window
or covering element 2 is retained in the closed position I, at least along its one
side A, but preferably all around the periphery A, B, C, D of the window or covering
element 2 and the frame.
[0010] A seal 8, 9, preferably comprising an inner 8 and an outer 9 seal respectively, is
arranged on the aforementioned window or some other suitable covering element arrangement
1, so that it seals between the outer casement 4, the window or covering element frame
3 and the covering frame 7 along the aforementioned air admission passage 5 in a position
in which all the moving parts 4, 7 contained in the window or covering element arrangement
1 are moved to the closed position I.
[0011] The aforementioned seals 8, 9 are formed preferably by compressible strips, either
homogeneous or hose-shaped, which are capable of being accommodated with a fixing
part 8A, 9A in matching grooves 11, 12 and which extend all along the periphery of
the covering frame 7 and at a mutual distance X from one another and are suitable
to make contact with a sealing part 8B, 9B close against the respective inward-facing
13 surface 3A and 4A of the frame 3 and the outer casement 4.
[0012] The aforementioned outer casement 4, which in the illustrative embodiment shown in
the drawings is pivotally mounted about vertical pivot bearings 50 in the frame 3,
preferably has the outer casement 4 and the covering frame 7 arranged in such a way
as to be capable of connection to one another, so that the outer casement 4 is caused
to pivot together with the covering frame when the latter is caused to pivot. The
aforementioned function can be achieved, for example, by the arrangement of a number
of guide pins 15 capable of being accommodated in grooves 14 so as to act between
the outer casement 4 and the covering frame 7. See Figs. 9, 12, 13 and 15. Arranged
along at least the upper horizontally situated part 16 of the covering frame 7 is
a guide groove 14, in which a guide pin 15 arranged on one upper corner 17 of the
outer casement is capable of being accommodated and guided in such a way as to be
displaced along the intended distance as far as a position in which it is disengaged
from the aforementioned guide groove 14, as shown in Figs. 1 and 16, and in which
position II the window or covering element 2, the outer casement 4 with its associated
glass unit 18, is free to be caused to pivot around its bearing 50.
[0013] Illustrated in Fig. 2 the covering frame 7 is pivotally mounted about vertical pivots
20.
[0014] A turning handle 21 is arranged on the inward-facing 13 side of the covering frame
7 and/or the frame 3, which handle can exhibit a locking device 23 capable of actuation
by turning so arranged as to be capable of being locked in the frame 3 and in the
outer casement 4 in various desired locked positions.
[0015] Both the outer casement 4 and the covering frame 7 in this case are capable of exhibiting
glass 18 or some other covering element in sheet form, depending on the kind of covering
element to which the invention is applied. The covering frame 7 is shown without glass
in Fig. 7.
[0016] The material in the component parts of the aforementioned window or covering element
1 arrangement can be unmixed or a combination of wood, metal, for example aluminium,
or a plastic composite material.
[0017] Explanations are provided below for a number of the aforementioned illustrations
showing a window as example.
[0018] Illustrated in Fig. 4 is the front of a window viewed at an angle from inside and
with everything in the closed position I with the handle 21 facing downwards. In this
position, the window casement is locked against rotation by means of double-acting
bolt locks which enter into engagement with the casement and the frame respectively.
On the opposite side, the covering frame is equipped with a hinge attachment to the
window frame. The function is illustrated in section in Fig. 8.
[0019] Fig. 8 shows the locked night ventilation position. From here, the window is opened
by turning the handle 21 to the horizontal position, and the covering frame "carries"
the window casement with it via the pins 15 of the window casement and out to the
night ventilation position, where the window is locked with the handle 21 and the
bolts 25, 26 enter into engagement in position in the casement 4 and the frame 3,
and the window 2 is now locked in this position I. The locking handle 21 can be supplemented,
if necessary, with a cylinder lock. The function is illustrated in section in Fig.
9.
[0020] Figs. 12-15 show a so-called "child safety position" or a wide ventilation position
in perspective and as a sectioned view. For this purpose, the handle 21 is turned
to the horizontal position from a window 2 that is closed or open for night ventilation,
and the covering frame 7 / window casement 4 is opened. The casement 4 accompanies
the covering frame 7 via the pins 15, which are in engagement in the guide grooves
14 of the covering frame 7 at the top and at the bottom. The connection of the window
casement 4 to the covering frame 7 means that a distance is formed between it and
the window casement 4, the purpose of which is inter alia to prevent the window casement
from "gnawing" on the sealing strip 8, 9. The sliding motion of the window casement
4 in the guide grooves 14 is arrested by a heel 27 in the upper guide groove 14, and
it is prevented from shutting of its own accord by a spring 28, which is positioned
in the upper guide rail 14 in front of the child security stop. The function is illustrated
in section in Fig. 13.
[0021] The outer casement 4 is centre pivot-hung on the frame, for example at the top and
bottom, on pins. The casement 4 has indentations for a turning lock arrangement in
two positions and spring-assisted insertable combined guide pins and child safety
pins at the top and bottom on the lock side and diagonally for the same function in
the case of an inverted window. These pins enter into engagement automatically in
the grooves in the covering frame when the window is closed. Finger grips for releasing
the upper guide pin when disengaging the child safety function for the purpose of
opening the window to the wide ventilation position are provided, and double finger
grips are also provided for disengaging the lower pin for the purpose of opening the
covering frame when inverting the window.
[0022] Figs. 13 and 14 show the maximum opening of the window in the position connected
with the covering frame 7. In conjunction with this, the window 2 is manoeuvred in
the same way as when opening to the "child safety position", but when the window reaches
the stop in the guide rail 14, the release mechanism 28, executed as a finger grip
with two heels, recessed into the end wall of the casement and attached to the spring-assisted
guide pin of the window casement, is actuated. In conjunction with this, the upper
heel is pressed downwards, the upper guide pin is released from the child safety stop,
and the window can be opened to its maximum opening. The outer casement 4 and the
covering frame 7 are still connected to the guide pin 15 in the lower guide rail.
Once the movement of the window has progressed past the child safety stop, the finger
grip is released and the upper guide pin again enters into engagement in the upper
guide rail. The child safety function engages automatically when closing the window
from its maximum open position. The window can also be opened further, if required,
for example as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 16. When operating the window in the opening
alternative described above, the covering frame 7 and the window casement 4 are linked
together at all times, which means that the covering frame, which does not contain
any glass, does not exhibit any tendency to "flap". The function is also illustrated
in section in the drawings.
[0023] Fig. 16 illustrates a position for inverting the window. The window is placed in
the child safety position in this case, after which the two heels in the opening mechanism
on the end wall of the casement are drawn together with a double finger grip (two
fingers). In conjunction with this, both the upper and the lower pin are drawn in,
and the covering frame is released from the window casement and can be swung out,
so that the window casement can be fully inverted freely. In conjunction with reclosing,
the guide pins return automatically into engagement once the window has been closed
and the covering frame lies parallel with the window casement. The function is illustrated
in section in Fig. 16.
[0024] This construction permits vertical hanging. A restriction in the size of the windows
or some other suitable covering element 2 that can be manufactured is determined by
the size of the glass units that can be produced. In the case of display windows,
for instance, which are not ventilated but are only inverted on a few occasions per
year, for example, the covering frame can be secured instead with advantage by the
use of screws to enable them to be opened constantly.
[0025] A closed window 2 is illustrated in Fig. 17. The handle is positioned on the side
of the inner frame with a standard cremone bolt which locks the inner frame and the
window casement on both sides at the top and respectively at the top and the bottom.
[0026] Fig. 18 shows the window in the night ventilation position. Here the inner frame
7 is opened slightly, while the window casement 4 is locked. Ventilation 51 is obtained
through the gap 5 between the casement 4 and the frame 3.
[0027] Fig. 19 shows the window 2 in the ventilation position. The window is opened by turning
the handle to the open position and pushing the window casement outwards into the
inversion position. The inner frame 7 in this case can have a stop which prevents
further opening. In conjunction with closing, the inner frame 7 is hinged back towards
the frame 3 and is locked, which also locks the window casement 4.
[0028] Fig. 20 shows an inversion position. The window 2 here can be rotated without obstruction
in the desired direction of pivoting 52, 53.
