Description

The invention relates to a Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung for actuation of a residential roof window, with a swivel handle and at least one attachable to a sash of the residential roof window bearing element, wherein the swivel handle is pivotally mounted by means of the bearing element and has a coupling device for articulating an actuating element of the residential roof window on the swivel handle. The invention further relates to a living roof window with a Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung and a method for mounting a residential roof window.

The rooftop or roof windows preferably has as essential components on a frame and the sash. The casement usually has a glazing, which is present for example as multiple, in particular double glazing or triple glazing. Of course, a single glazing can be realized. The glazing is bordered, for example, by bars of the casement, wherein in particular two vertical bars and two horizontal bars are provided. The frame also preferably has two vertical bars and two horizontal bars. In each case, two of the spars are connected to each other, in particular, each of the vertical beams is connected to each of the horizontal beams.

The frame is, for example, for fixed attachment to a roof or for attachment in a recess the roof provided. The casement is movably mounted on the frame and pivotable relative to this at least one axis. The pivoting can be carried out in particular as flaps, swings or swinging. In the case of the flaps, the axis lies in an upper region of the roof window, in particular in an upper third of the roof window-in relation to its height-or in the region of the upper edge. By folding the wing frame relative to the frame from a closed position in a first open position or vice versa are brought. For example, in the first open position, the skylight is fully open.

For pivoting, however, the axis lies in a central region of the roof window, in particular in a second third of the height of the roof window. The pivoting serves, for example, to bring the casement from the closed position to a second open position, in particular cleaning position, or vice versa. In the cleaning position, an outer glass surface can be cleaned easily and easily. When swinging, however, the pivoting takes place about several axes, which are usually parallel to each other. For example, when swinging at the same time pivoting about the axis used for the flap and the axis used for pivoting before. The swinging serves, for example, to bring the casement from the closed position into a third open position, in particular a ventilation position.

The roof window has the Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung, which serves the operation of the roof window, in particular the unlocking of a locking device. Just when the locking device is unlocked, the living roof window can be pivoted out of its closed position. Conversely, it can of course also be provided that the locking device can be locked by means of the living roof window pivot handle assembly. This locking is particularly preferably possible only in the closed position of the living roof window, for which a corresponding embodiment of the living roof window pivot handle assembly, the locking device and / or the roof can be realized.

The Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung has the pivoting handle and the at least one bearing element. The pivoting handle is pivotally mounted on the roof windows, in particular the sash of the roof window, namely using the bearing element. This is fastened or fixed for this purpose on the roof window or its casement. The actuation of the residential roof window by means of the pivoting handle is preferably carried out via the actuating element, which is assigned to the residential roof window. The pivoting handle has the coupling device by means of which the actuating element can be articulated to the pivoting handle. By means of the coupling device, therefore, the actuating element can be attached to the pivoting handle, in particular mounted, for example, rotatably mounted. In particular, an operative connection between the pivoting handle and the locking device of the living roof window is produced via the actuating element as soon as the pivoting handle is mounted on the living roof window.

Usually, upon delivery of the residential roof window, the swivel handle is already attached to the sash or pivotally mounted. However, this has the consequence that the pivoting handle protrudes far beyond the casement and therefore requires a separate or a much larger transport packaging than the living roof window alone, which reliably prevents damage to the pivoting handle. The transport volume of the residential roof window with preassembled swivel handle is correspondingly large.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung, which has the advantage that the pivoting handle can be fixed quickly and with little effort, especially without tools, to the living roof window or the sash. Thus, in particular, the transport of the pivoting handle can be done separately from the transport of the residential roof window.

This is achieved according to the invention with a Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung with the features of claim 1. It is envisaged that the pivoting handle or the bearing element has an open-edged bearing eye and the bearing element or swivel handle bearing pin, wherein in the bearing eye opens a guide opening for the bearing journal and the bearing pin is at least partially out of round by means of a reduction in cross section, so that it is only at a in a mounting angle range mounting angle of the pivoting handle with respect to the bearing element is insertable into the bearing eye, including the guide opening in its narrowest opening cross-section dimensions that are smaller than the diameter of the journal and at least as large as the dimensions of the journal in the area of cross-sectional reduction, and that coupling device a latching connector for latchingly holding the actuating element on the pivoting handle.

As already explained, the Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung consists at least of the pivoting handle and the at least one bearing element. On one of the two elements, namely the pivoting handle or the bearing element, the open-edge bearing eye is now provided, while the other element, so either the bearing element or the pivoting handle, has the bearing pin. The bearing eye and the bearing pin are provided in particular for the formation of a pivot bearing for the pivoting handle. The open-edge design of the bearing eye is realized by the opening of the guide opening in the bearing eye.

The guide opening is in particular designed to allow entry of the journal into the bearing eye. The bearing pin can thus be introduced through the guide opening in the bearing eye, in which it is present below and together with this forms the pivot bearing for the pivoting handle. The bearing journal preferably has a round cross-section over at least part of its axial extent in the direction of its longitudinal central axis. Seen in the axial direction, however, it has, at least in some areas, the reduction in cross-section, so that in the region of the reduction in cross-section it is non-circular in cross-section.

The non-circular configuration of the journal serves to allow insertion of the journal into the bearing eye or a passage through the guide opening only when the pivoting handle a mounting bracket with respect to the Has bearing element or the sash, which is within the mounting angle range. The mounting angle range can basically have any angular extent. Preferably, however, it is chosen so large that a simple and easy insertion of the journal into the bearing eye, in particular without hooking or the like, is possible.

In order to enable the insertion of the journal into the bearing eye or the passage through the guide opening only in the presence of the pivoting handle in the mounting bracket, the guide opening may be provided with a special configuration. For example, in its narrowest opening cross section, the guide opening has dimensions which are smaller than the diameter of the bearing journal. Thus, the bearing pin can not get out of the bearing eye or out of the bearing eye in the guide opening when the pivoting handle is present at an angle which is different from the mounting bracket or is outside the mounting angle range.

On the other hand, the dimensions of the guide opening in its narrowest opening cross-section are preferably at least as large as the dimensions of the bearing journal in the area of the cross-sectional reduction. This means that with appropriate alignment of the pivoting handle and thus of the bearing pin with respect to the bearing element or the sash of the bearing pin can get out of the bearing eye or out of the bearing eye in the guide hole.

Overall, the bearing pin should have an outer contour in the region of the cross-sectional reduction, which is partially round and thus has the diameter. However, in at least one location of the outer contour, the latter is deformed inwardly in at least one direction in the radial direction with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the bearing journal. The bearing journal therefore has dimensions in the radial direction at at least one circumferential position which are smaller than the diameter and in particular at most as large as the narrowed opening cross section of the guide opening.

The cross-sectional reduction is carried out, for example, in such a way that the bearing pin can pass through the guide opening, in particular through its narrowest cross-section, when the mounting angle is present, but not in the presence of an angle that is different from the mounting angle or lies outside the mounting angle range. When mounting the swivel handle on the dormer window so far the pivot handle is arranged in the mounting bracket and moved so that the bearing pin enters the guide hole and passes through it into the bearing eye.

Subsequently, the pivoting handle is displaced out of the mounting angle or the mounting angle range, so that it subsequently has an angle which is different from the mounting angle or lies outside the mounting angle range. This means that the pivoting handle can only be removed from the sash when it is returned to the mounting bracket. Due to the special design of the bearing eye and the bearing pin is an extent provisional attachment of the pivoting handle on the sash, in particular on the bearing element, which can be fastened or fastened to the casement, realized. Of course, another embodiment of journal and guide hole can be realized, by means of which the desired effect is achieved, namely that the introduction or deployment of the journal in the bearing eye only in the mounting bracket or the mounting bracket area is possible.

The bearing eye and the guide opening share, for example, a keyhole shape. Such a keyhole shape is composed of a larger-scale area and an immediately adjacent to this subsequent dimension smaller area. The dimensionally smaller area is open-edged. The larger dimension range corresponds to the bearing eye, while the smaller dimension area represents the guide opening.

Seen in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the bearing journal, the cross-sectional reduction is preferably present only in regions. This means that the bearing journal has on at least one side of the cross-sectional reduction, but preferably on both sides of the cross-sectional reduction, a cross section which is different from the cross section in the area of the cross-sectional reduction. In particular, the dimensions of the journal are greater away from the cross-sectional reduction. For example, the bearing pin is seen from the cross-sectional reduction in cross section round and has the diameter.

The pivoting handle also has the coupling device for the articulation of the actuating element on the pivoting handle. The coupling device has the latching connector, which serves for latching holding the actuating element on the pivoting handle. Preferably, it is provided during assembly of the pivoting handle on the roof window, the actuator and the pivoting handle to each other to shift so that they engage detenting each other, in particular engage each other, and are held accordingly detenting each other.

The latching holding is preferably carried out such that the actuating element is pivotally articulated to the pivoting handle. Particularly preferably, the actuating element is so mounted on the dormer window, in particular on the casement, that it allows a displacement of the pivoting handle only within an operating angle range after its articulation on the pivoting handle, thus limiting a movement of the pivoting handle on this operating angle range. The operating angle range is preferably chosen such that it is different from the mounting angle or the mounting angle range, in particular has no overlap with the mounting angle range. The operating angle range is so far completely outside the mounting angle range.

After the actuating element has been hinged to the pivoting handle, it can therefore no longer be displaced into the mounting angle or the mounting angle range. Correspondingly, after the articulation no spreading of the bearing pin from the bearing eye or a displacement of the journal from the Bearing eye in the guide hole possible. This means that the swivel handle is reliably held on the roof window.

The procedure described has the particular advantage that the installation of the pivoting handle on the roof canopy is extremely simple and especially without tools possible. All that is required is to shift the pivoting handle in the direction of the sash frame in such a way that the bearing journal can get into the bearing eye through the guide opening. Subsequently, the pivoting handle is displaced out of the mounting bracket or the mounting angle range and then the actuating element is articulated on the pivoting handle. This articulation is particularly preferably provided by displacing the pivoting handle out of the mounting bracket or the mounting bracket area. The assembly of the pivoting handle is thus realized with two easy steps to be performed.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that the bearing eye is associated with a bearing pin detent element for latching holding the journal in the bearing eye. The bearing pin detent element is for example elastically formed or at least elastically mounted with respect to the bearing eye. The bearing pin detent element is designed such that it holds the bearing pin after its introduction into the bearing eye in this, so preventing expulsion of the journal from the bearing eye in the guide hole.

For example, it is provided that the bearing pin during its passage through the guide opening elastically deflects the bearing pin detent element from its initial position. Reached the bearing pin the bearing eye or enters this, so the bearing pin detent element is at least partially shifted in the direction of its initial position due to the elasticity. In this initial position of the bearing pin is held in the bearing eye, for example by the bearing pin locking element, the guide opening or the discharge point of the guide opening in the bearing eye at least partially, in particular completely blocked.

A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the bearing pin locking element has an edge-closed bearing journal receptacle for the bearing journal. The bearing pin receptacle preferably has a diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the bearing journal or is larger than this. The journal receptacle is designed such that it completely engages around the journal. This is especially the case as soon as the journal has reached the bearing eye. For example, the bearing pin locking element next to the bearing pin receiving a ramp surface or ramp. This is designed such that the bearing pin comes into contact with its free end with her while he passes through the guide opening in the direction of the bearing eye. The ramp surface is aligned such that the bearing pin detent element is deflected elastically during the passage.

The bearing journal receptacle is arranged, for example, concentric to the bearing eye, in particular in the axial direction immediately adjacent to the bearing eye. As soon as the journal thus exists in the region of the bearing eye, it is also arranged in the region of the journal receptacle. Accordingly, the bearing pin locking element due to its elasticity assume its initial position, whereby the bearing pin comes to rest in the journal receptacle. Accordingly, the bearing pin can not get out of the bearing eye below, even if the pivoting handle is arranged in the mounting bracket or the mounting bracket area.

For a disassembly of the pivoting handle is therefore necessary in such an embodiment, both the placement of the pivoting handle in the mounting bracket, as well as the deflection of the bearing pin detent element, so that the bearing pin is no longer arranged in the journal receptacle. Only subsequently can the bearing pin pass out of the bearing eye through the guide opening.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cross-sectional reduction is formed by at least one flattening of the journal. For example, the flattening is at least partially, in particular completely in an imaginary plane.

A development of the invention provides that the cross-sectional reduction is formed by a plurality of opposite with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the journal opposite flats of the journal. For example, each of these flats is in each case in one plane. These planes can be arranged parallel to each other, but also at an angle to each other. The angle is preferably chosen such that it facilitates insertion of the journal into the guide opening. For this purpose, in particular, the bearing pin in the region of the cross-sectional reduction - Seen in cross section - a contour which is tapered in the direction of the guide opening or the bearing eye.

A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the bearing journal is wedge-shaped in regions in the region of the cross-sectional reduction. On such an embodiment has already been noted above. The wedge shape of the journal allows easy insertion of the journal in the guide hole and thus the bearing eye.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the guide opening widens in the direction away from the bearing eye. The guide opening thus has its narrowest cross section at a junction where it opens into the bearing eye. For example, starting immediately from the point of confluence, the expansion in the direction away from the bearing eye is now provided, wherein the expansion takes place, for example, continuously.

A preferred development of the invention provides that the narrowest opening cross-section of the guide opening is smaller than the diameter of the bearing eye. The bearing eye is seen for example in cross section round. In order to prevent the bearing pin from coming out of the bearing eye out into the guide opening when the pivoting handle is not present in the mounting bracket, the guide opening is configured accordingly. The guide opening has its narrowest opening cross-section preferably immediately adjacent to the bearing eye. In particular, the narrowest opening cross-section is therefore provided at the point of confluence of the guide opening in the bearing eye.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that the latching connector is designed as a latching receptacle with at least one detent spring element. The locking receptacle is so far as depression in the pivoting handle. In order to steer the actuating element on the pivoting handle, it is introduced into the locking receptacle. This is assigned to the detent spring element, which serves to hold the actuator in the locking receptacle or push into it. For example, the detent spring element is deflected elastically during the introduction of the actuating element in the locking receptacle. In this case, a spring force is effected, which is directed in the direction of the locking receptacle or pushes the actuating element in the direction of the locking receptacle or in this.

Preferably, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the bearing eye or the bearing element is arranged on a bearing projection of the pivoting handle and the latching connector on an actuating projection of the pivoting handle. The bearing projection and the actuating projection thus extend starting from a grip region of the pivoting handle. The grip area is designed such that it allows a simple, directed to the operation of the residential roof window attacking an operator to himself. In particular, he is to, for example, by appropriate design of the bearing projection and / or the actuating projection, arranged at a sufficient distance from the casement to allow engagement or engaging behind by the operator. For example, the bearing projection and the actuating projection extend in the same direction from the grip area.

Finally, it can be provided that the bearing projection and the actuating projection each have a contact surface for engagement with the casement, wherein the contact surface of the bearing projection lies in the same plane as the contact surface of the actuating projection. The bearing projection and the actuating projection so far counter the sash, starting from the handle area. In particular, they are in at least one position of the pivoting handle on the sash, with their contact surfaces each contact with a counter-contact surface of the sash in contact.

The invention further relates to a rooftop window with a rooftop window pivot handle assembly for actuation of the residential roof window, in particular with a Roof window pivot handle assembly according to the above, wherein the Roof window pivot handle assembly has a pivoting handle and at least one fixed to a sash of the roof window bearing element, wherein the pivoting handle is pivotally mounted by means of the bearing element and a coupling device for articulating an actuating element of the living roof window on the pivoting handle.

It is envisaged that the pivoting handle or the bearing element has an open-edged bearing eye and the bearing element or the pivoting handle a journal, wherein in the bearing eye opens a guide opening for the bearing journal and the bearing pin is formed by a reduction in area at least partially out of round, so that he only at one in a mounting angle range mounting angle of the pivoting handle with respect to the bearing element in the bearing eye used is to which the guide opening in its narrowest opening cross section has dimensions smaller than the diameter of the trunnion and at least as large as the dimensions of the trunnion in the area of the cross-sectional reduction, and in that the coupling means comprises a latching connector for latchingly holding the actuating element on the swivel handle.

On the advantages of such a design of the residential roof window and the Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung has already been noted. Both the living roof window and the Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung can be developed according to the foregoing, so that reference is made to this extent.

In one embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the actuating element is mounted such that it allows, after its articulation on the pivoting handle, a displacement of the pivoting handle within an operating angle range, wherein the operating angle range has no overlap with the mounting angle range. The actuating element holds in this respect the pivoting handle within the operating angle range, thus allowing its displacement only within this operating angle range. Because the operating angle range is outside the mounting angle range, that is, has no overlap with this, the pivoting handle can not be spent in the mounting angle range, so that a shifting out of the journal from the bearing eye is not possible. Thus, the pivoting handle is securely held on the sash of the residential roof window.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the latching connector is designed as a latching receptacle with at least one detent spring element, wherein the latching receptacle has a latching recess and one of these in the direction of the sash frame upstream retaining recess. It is intended to achieve the latching holding the actuating element on the pivoting handle by the actuating element is arranged in the latching recess and then held by means of the detent spring element in this.

However, in particular when the roof window is closed, it may be the case that the actuating element does not protrude far enough beyond the casement in order to achieve complete insertion of the actuating element into the latching recess. Nevertheless, an actuation of the actuating element and thus, for example, the locking device using the pivoting handle must be possible. Accordingly, the holding recess is present, which is present in the locking receptacle in front of the detent recess. The holding recess is arranged such that the actuating element can reach the holding recess in its smallest position projecting beyond the casement frame, for example when the pivoting handle is completely displaced in the direction of the actuating element.

By means of the retaining recess, the actuating element is held in a form-fitting manner. For example, the detent spring element also serves to urge the actuating element in the direction of the retaining recess or to keep it in this. The arrangement of the actuating element in the retaining recess allows at least temporarily actuation of the actuating element by means of the pivoting handle. Upon actuation, the actuator is preferably displaced out of the sash frame. At a subsequent backward movement of the pivoting handle to its initial position, therefore, the actuating element can pass from the retaining recess into the detent recess and be held in a detent locking manner in the locking receptacle.

It may be provided to use an auxiliary handle for actuating the residential roof window instead of the pivoting handle. The auxiliary handle is arranged or attached to the actuating element of the residential roof window. In particular, the auxiliary handle is hung on the actuating element. Using the auxiliary handle, the actuator can be operated to open the roof window. In particular, a locking device of the living roof window for unlocking the living roof window can be actuated via the actuating element.

For example, the auxiliary handle has a curved sliding surface or rolling surface, which rests against the living roof window, in particular on the sash frame. The auxiliary handle is designed such that a grip area, on which a user engages the auxiliary handle, is further away from a pivot axis of the auxiliary handle is removed as a point of articulation, on which the actuating element is articulated on the auxiliary handle.

The pivot axis of the auxiliary handle is defined by the sliding surface of the auxiliary handle together with a surface of the residential roof window, in particular the sash. The pivot axis is so far along the straight line along which the sliding surface bears against the surface of the residential roof window.

Particularly preferably, the auxiliary handle is designed such that it hooked to the actuating element and subsequently by Gravity influence is held on this. To remove the auxiliary handle, for example, to subsequently attach the swivel handle to the roof canopy, therefore, only the auxiliary handle must be raised against the influence of gravity and unhooked.

Finally, the invention relates to a method for mounting a dormer window, in particular according to the preceding embodiments, wherein the dormer window has a Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung for actuation of the dormer window, in particular a Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung according to the above. The method is characterized by the features of claim 15. The method, the canopy window and the Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung can be developed according to the above. Accordingly, this is referred to. The achievable advantages have already been mentioned.

In at least one embodiment, the method is characterized in that arranged in a first assembly step, the pivoting handle in the mounting bracket and the bearing pin is introduced through the guide opening in the bearing eye. For this purpose, for example, the pivoting handle is displaced accordingly in the direction of the residential roof window, in particular of the sash. For example, the canopy window is closed during the performance of the first assembly step.

In a further embodiment of the invention may also be provided that in a second assembly step, the pivoting handle is pivoted out of the mounting angle range and the Actuating element is articulated by means of the latching connector on the pivoting handle. The second assembly step preferably follows the first assembly step, in particular immediately. By swinging out of the pivoting handle from the mounting bracket or the mounting bracket area he is at least provisionally fixed to the casement, because the bearing pin can not easily get out of the bearing eye.

It is particularly advantageous if the articulation of the actuating element takes place by pivoting out of the pivoting handle from the mounting angle range. For example, the pivoting handle is completely displaced in the direction of the actuating element on the casement, so that it preferably at least partially abuts this. By this displacement, the actuating element can be in operative connection with the latching connector, so that the actuating element is subsequently held on the pivoting handle.

Finally, it can be provided that the pivoting handle is present separately from the casement frame before the first assembly step. The pivoting handle is thus delivered, for example, separated from the sash or the roof canopy. Preferably, however, the at least one bearing element is already mounted on the casement so that when mounting the roof window only the pivoting handle must be attached to the casement.

The FIG. 1 shows a roof window 1, in particular a rooftop window. This has a frame 2 and a relative to the frame 2 movably mounted sash 3. The casement 3 carries a glazing 4 of the roof window 1. The window frame 2 is preferably fixedly mounted in a roof or the like. For attachment of the frame 2, at least one fastening element 5 may be provided, which is present for example in the form of a mounting bracket. The fastener 5 is preferably bolted to both the frame 2 and the roof.

The frame 2 consists of several spars, namely a lower horizontal beam 6, an upper horizontal spar 7, a left vertical spar 8 and a right vertical spar 9. Analogously, preferably the wing frame 3 consists of a plurality of spars, which are not shown in detail here. The frame 2 and / or the wing frame 3, in particular their spars, for example the spars 6, 7, 8 and 9, may be provided with at least one cover. The cover member serves to cover against an outside environment, so that environmental conditions can not negatively affect the roof window 1.

As a cover, for example, one or more of the following elements are present: an upper Flügelabdeckblech 10, a water apron 11, upper Flügelseitenabdeckbleche 12, lower Flügelseitenabdeckbleche 13 and side Abdeckrahmenbleche 14. The Abdeckrahmenbleche 14 close in the lateral direction of the Flügelseitenabdeckbleche 12 and 13 at. The Flügelabdeckblech 10 is connected by means of connecting elements 15 with the upper Flügelseitenabdeckblechen 12.

The FIG. 2 shows the roof window 1 according to the above and cover 17, 18, 19 and 20. The cover 17, 18, 19 and 20 may be present, for example, as separately formed cover plates. In particular, they form a cover frame 21 for the roof window 1. The cover 21 and the cover 17, 18, 19 and 20 serve to discharge water from the roof window 1 in the direction of the roof. For this purpose, the cover element 17 has a cover skirt 22 which can be adapted to a shape or a structure of the roof. It becomes clear that the skylight 1, in particular the casement 3, has a pivoting handle 23 which is used to actuate the skylight 1 and is part of a residential roof window pivot handle assembly 24.

The FIG. 3 shows an area of the roof window 1, in particular the living roof window pivot handle assembly 24. The pivot handle 23 is not yet mounted on the roof window 1 and the sash 3. The Wohndachfensterschwenkgriffanordnung 24 has in addition to the pivoting handle 23 at least one bearing element 25, in the embodiment shown here, two bearing elements 25, on. The pivoting handle 23 has a coupling device 26 which can not be seen in detail here, which serves to articulate an actuating element 27 on the pivoting handle 23. Under the articulation is preferably a pivotal storage to understand.

The pivoting handle 23 has a grip region 28, from which an actuating projection 29 and at least one bearing projection 30, here: two bearing projections 30, extend. Preferably, each bearing element 25 is associated with such a bearing projection 30. In each bearing projection 30, for example, a respective bearing element 25 associated bearing counter-element 31 is arranged. It becomes clear that each bearing element 25 has at least one bearing journal 32 which, for example, points away from a base body 33 of the respective bearing element 25. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, each bearing element 25 is assigned two bearing journals 32, which have a common longitudinal central axis 34. In the bearing counter-element 31, at least one bearing eye 35 is provided, preferably, each bearing journal 32 is associated with such a bearing eye 35. The The longitudinal center axis 34 corresponds, for example, to an axis of rotation of the pivoting handle 23 after the bearing pins 32 have been introduced into the bearing eyes 35.

The FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of a portion of the roof window 1, in particular the living roof window pivot handle assembly 24. In the representation chosen here, the bearing pins 32 each engage in their associated bearing eye 35 a. It can be seen that each bearing eye 35 is associated with a guide opening 36 through which the respective bearing pin 32 in the bearing eye 35 can be introduced.

In the in the FIG. 5 shown detail representation of the bearing member 25 and the bearing counter-element 31 of the above-mentioned circumstance is shown. It can be seen that the bearing eye 35 seen in cross section - with respect to the longitudinal central axis 34 - is round. In the bearing eye 35 opens at a junction 37, the guide opening 36 a. The guide opening 36 has - seen in cross section - their narrowest opening cross-section preferably immediately at the junction 37, ie immediately following the bearing eye 35. This narrowest cross-section is smaller than the diameter of the bearing eye 35. The guide opening 36 widens into that of the Bearing eye 35 facing away on, for example, steadily.

The bearing pin 32 has a region-wise reduction in cross-section 38. The reduction in cross-section 38 is formed by opposing flats 39 and 40 in the embodiment shown here. The flats 39 and 40 are each in a plane, so are each plan. Overall, the bearing pin 32 - in Seen circumferentially - at least partially formed round. In the area of the bearing journal 32 received in the bearing eye 35, it has the flats 39 and 40, which lie opposite one another with respect to the longitudinal central axis 34, and sections 41 lying between the flats 39 and 40, in which the bearing journal 32 is round. In these sections 41, the bearing journal 32 has a diameter D or a radius which corresponds to D / 2.

The flats 39 and 40 may be parallel to each other. In the embodiment shown here, however, they or the levels defining them are set against each other, so that a wedge shape is achieved, which facilitates insertion of the bearing pin 32 in the guide opening 36 and thus the bearing eye 35.

Overall, therefore, the bearing journal 32 has the diameter D or correspond to its largest in cross-section dimensions this diameter D. In the area of the cross-sectional reduction 38, the dimensions are smaller. In particular, the diameter D of the bearing pin 32 is selected such that it is greater than the narrowest opening cross-section of the guide opening 36. The cross-section reduction 38, however, should be designed such that the bearing pin 32 with a suitable orientation, ie at a suitable mounting angle, through the guide opening 36 in the bearing eye 35 can be inserted. If subsequently the angle of the bearing journal 32 is changed, this therefore no longer corresponds to the mounting angle or is present in a mounting angle range, then the bearing journal 32 can no longer escape from the bearing eye 35, in particular not into the guide opening 36.

The FIG. 6 shows a further detailed view of the bearing member 25 and the bearing counter-element 31. It is clear that the latter is associated with a bearing pin detent element 42 which is provided for latching holding the bearing pin 32. The bearing pin detent element 42 has for this purpose a bearing journal receptacle 43, which is present, for example, peripherally closed in the bearing pin detent element 42. Furthermore, a run-on bevel 44 is provided on the bearing pin detent element 42, which is arranged in the region of the guide opening 36.

Upon introduction of the bearing journal 32 into the guide opening 36 in the direction of the bearing eye 35, the bearing journal 32 comes into contact with the ramp bevel 44. The further he is introduced into the guide opening 36, the further he urges the elastically configured bearing pin detent 42 in the axial direction in the direction away from the bearing eye 35 direction. However, because the journal receptacle 43 is formed coaxially with the bearing eye 35, the journal retainer 42 may spring back to its original position as soon as the journal 32 is present in the bearing boss 35. Accordingly, it occurs in the bearing pin receptacle 43. With the help of the bearing pin detent element 42, therefore, the bearing pin 32 is securely held in the bearing eye 35, even if the pivoting handle 23 should be present in the mounting angle or the mounting angle range.

The FIG. 7 shows the pivoting handle 23. It is clear that the bearing pin detent element 42, for example, is associated with only one of the bearing 35 eyes. Alternatively, of course, a plurality of bearing pin detent elements 42 may be present for a plurality of the bearing eyes 35, in particular for all bearing eyes 35. Clearly visible is now that at the bearing projections 30 contact surfaces 45 and on the actuating projection 29, a contact surface 46 is provided. Preferably, the contact surfaces 45 and the abutment surface 46 are in the same plane, so that they rest in a rest position of the pivoting handle 23 at the same time flat on the sash 3.

The FIG. 8 shows the pivoting handle 23 after the bearing pins 32 have been introduced into the bearing eyes 35. Also, the pivoting handle 23 is pivoted out of the mounting bracket, so that the coupling device 26 is now closer to the actuator 27 to the actuator 27. However, the actuating element 27 is not yet articulated on the pivoting handle 23.

The FIG. 9 shows a detailed view of the bearing member 25 and the bearing counter-element 31, wherein the pivoting handle 23 is not present in the mounting bracket or the mounting angle range. It is readily apparent that the bearing pin 32 can not get out of the bearing eye 35 or in the guide opening 36 in this position of the pivoting handle 23. It can also be seen that the bearing element 25 has at least one retaining pin 47, in the embodiment shown here, two retaining pins 47, for attachment to the sash 3.

The FIG. 10 shows a sectional view through the pivoting handle 23 and the actuating element 27. It can be seen that the coupling device 26 is formed as a latching connector 48, in particular as a latching receptacle 49. The locking receptacle 49 is associated with a detent spring element 50. The latching receptacle 49 is composed of a latching recess 51 and a holding recess 52, wherein this - seen in cross section - the locking recess 51 in the direction of the sash 3, from which the actuating element 27 emanates, is upstream.

Shown is a position of the actuating element 27 and the pivoting handle 23, from which the actuating element 27 or a locking counter-element 53 provided on it is displaced in the direction of the latching connector 48 or the latching receptacle 49.

Upon its penetration into the locking receptacle 49, the actuating element 27 deflects the detent spring element 50, as in FIG FIG. 11 is shown. Accordingly, the detent spring element 50 exerts a spring force on the actuating element 27, which is directed at least partially in the direction of the detent recess 49. Accordingly, the actuating element 27 or its locking counter-element 53 first passes into the holding recess 52 or is urged by the detent spring element 50 into it. Shown here is the case in which the roof window 1 is closed and thus the actuator 27 projects only slightly above the sash 3. Even with complete pivoting of the pivoting handle 23 in the direction of the actuating element 27, the latter can not reach the latching recess 51, but only into the retaining recess 52.

However, the holding recess 52 is already configured such that the skylight 1 can be actuated by means of the pivoting handle 23, ie the actuating element 27 is taken along by the pivoting handle 23 during a pivoting movement of the pivoting handle 23, in particular is pulled out of the casement 3. In a subsequent unloading of the pivoting handle 23 or a shift back of the pivoting handle 23 in its initial position or rest position, the actuating element 27 or its locking counter-element 53 can now pass from the retaining recess 52 into the latching recess 51. In this it is in turn urged by the detent spring element 50. This is in the FIG. 12 shown. Subsequently, now the actuating element 27, in particular its locking counter-element 53, securely held in the latching recess 51 and the latching receptacle 49. This purpose is served by the detent spring element 50.

The actuating element 27 is preferably mounted on or in the casement 3 such that it limits pivoting of the pivoting handle 23 to an operating angle range. This operating angle range has no overlap with the mounting angle range. Accordingly, it can no longer be pivoted into its mounting angle or the mounting angle range after the articulation of the actuating element 27 on the pivoting handle 23. It follows that the bearing pins 32 are securely mounted in the respective bearing eye 35. The flats 39 and 40 are preferably mounted on the bearing journal 32 in such a way that the round sections 41 are in contact contact with a bearing eyelet wall which delimits the bearing eye 35 over the entire operating angle range of the pivoting handle 23. In this way, a perfect storage of the pivoting handle 23 by means of the bearing element 25 and the bearing elements 25 is achieved.

To dismantle the pivoting handle 23 of the sash 3, first the actuator 27 from the locking receptacle 49 are removed. Subsequently, the pivoting handle 23 can be brought into the mounting bracket, so that subsequently the bearing pin 32 can get out of the bearing eye 35. Accordingly, the pivoting handle 23 can be deducted from the sash 3. If the bearing pin detent element 42 is provided, it must be deflected out of the bearing eye 35 in such a way that the bearing pin 32 is arranged outside the bearing pin receptacle 43 before the bearing journal 32 is displaced outwards.

Preferably, the actuating element 27 or the locking counter-element 53 is configured such that the roof window 1 can be operated without the pivoting handle 23. For example, an actuating tool is provided for this purpose, which cooperates with the locking counter-element 53 for producing a rear grip connection to the actuating element 27. Subsequently, the actuator 27 and thus the roof window 1 can be actuated by means of the actuating tool. For example, the actuating element 27 is operatively connected to a locking device with a locking device of the roof window 1.

The FIG. 13 shows an auxiliary handle 54, which are at least temporarily attached to the roof window 1 instead of the pivoting handle 23 and can serve to actuate it. The auxiliary handle 54 is preferably formed in one piece and / or of the same material. In particular, it is present as an injection molded part. The auxiliary handle 54 is so far extremely inexpensive to produce. The auxiliary handle 54 has a grip area 55, on which a user can operate to actuate the roof window 1. Furthermore, it has at its end facing away from the handle portion 55 via a sliding surface 56, with respect an imaginary and merely exemplary indicated pivot axis 57 of the auxiliary handle 54 is curved.

To allow easy operation, the pivot axis 57 preferably runs parallel to a longitudinal central axis 58 of the handle portion 55. The auxiliary handle 54 further has an insertion opening 59, which is at least as wide as a not shown here head portion 60 of the actuating element 27. The head part 60 can thus be introduced through the insertion opening 59 in a holding recess 61 of the auxiliary handle 54. The insertion opening 59 and the holding recess 61 are arranged in such a way to each other that the head part 60 is forced by gravity from the insertion opening 59 in the direction of the retaining recess 61 or in the latter. The auxiliary handle 54 can thus be easily hung on the actuator 27. Subsequently, he is held by the gravitational influence safely on this.

If the head part 60 is present in the holding recess 61, a point of articulation of the actuating element 27 on the auxiliary handle 54 is formed. It can be clearly seen that the pivot point between the pivot axis 57 and the handle portion 55 is located. Preferably, the pivot point is closer to the pivot axis 57 and the sliding surface 56 than on the auxiliary handle 54. Accordingly, the auxiliary handle 54 is a lever which allows actuation of the actuating element 27 and thus of the roof window 1 with a relatively low force.

The FIG. 14 shows a sectional view of the auxiliary handle 54 and a portion of the roof window 1. In particular, here the actuator 27 is arranged with its in the holding recess 61 Head part 60 can be seen. It is again clear that the auxiliary handle 54 is operatively connected by hooking positively with the actuator 27. The sliding surface 56 defines with a portion of a surface 62 of the roof window 1, in particular of the sash 3, the pivot axis 57. Upon actuation of the auxiliary handle 54, the sliding surface 56 slides on the surface 62 from. The pivot axis 57 can remain stationary. Alternatively, a displacement of the pivot axis 57 is possible. However, this has no influence on the function of the auxiliary handle 54.

By means of the auxiliary handle 54, a provisional actuation of the roof window 1 can be realized, in particular during assembly of the roof window 1. This means that the pivoting handle 23 is attached to the roof window 1 only after the roof window 1 has been fitted, in particular in or on a roof to avoid damage to the pivoting handle 23. The auxiliary handle 54 may be present as a disposable part, so delivered with each skylight 1 and disposed of after completion of the assembly. Of course, however, a reusable auxiliary handle 54 can be realized, which is carried by the assembly staff, which makes the installation of the roof window 1 in or on the roof.
