Abstract
In the roof window, each hinge (110) of the set of hinges comprises a frame hinge part (130), a sash hinge part (140), and a movement supporting assembly comprising guiding means including a linkage mechanism with at least two links (150, 160) providing connection between the sash hinge part and the frame hinge part. Each link is connected to at least one of the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part at a joint and connected to each other. The hinge (110) furthermore comprises a braking device (180) acting on at least one element of the movement supporting assembly over at least a part of the opening and/or closing movement. The braking device (180) comprises one or more friction elements.
Claims17
A hinge for a roof window with a stationary primary frame having a plurality of frame members including at least two opposing side members, and at least one secondary frame including a sash having a plurality of sash members including at least two opposing side members, said hinge being configured to be connected to the stationary primary frame and to the secondary frame sash to define a hinge axis of the roof window,
- said hinge comprising a frame hinge part, a sash hinge part, and a movement supporting assembly comprising guiding means configured to allow the sash hinge part to assume an angle relative to the frame hinge part substantially around said hinge axis during an opening movement from a closed position to an open position and during a closing movement from the open position to the closed position, the guiding means comprising a linkage mechanism including at least two links providing connection between the sash hinge part and the frame hinge part, each link of the at least two links being connected to at least one of the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part at a joint and the at least two links being connected to each other, the frame hinge part comprising a base plate defining a hinge plane substantially perpendicular to the hinge axis of the roof window and the sash hinge part comprising a base plate substantially parallel to the base plate of the frame hinge part,
- the at least two links of the linkage mechanism are connected to each other in a bearing axle, and the at least two links comprise a sash link providing connection between the bearing axle and the frame hinge part, and a frame link providing connection between the bearing axle and the sash hinge part, that
- the hinge comprises a braking device acting on at least one element of the movement supporting assembly over at least a part of the opening and/or closing movement, and
- that the braking device comprises at least one friction element,
- wherein the sash link is connected to the frame hinge part by means of an additional link, the sash link being connected to the additional link via a hinged joint.
A hinge for a roof window with a stationary primary frame having a plurality of frame members including at least two opposing side members, at least one secondary frame including a sash having a plurality of sash members including at least two opposing side members and an intermediate frame, said hinge being configured to be connected to the stationary primary frame or to the intermediate frame and said hinge further being configured to be connected to the secondary frame sash to define a hinge axis of the roof window,
- said hinge comprising a frame hinge part, a sash hinge part, and a movement supporting assembly comprising guiding means configured to allow the sash hinge part to assume an angle relative to the frame hinge part substantially around said hinge axis during an opening movement from a closed position to an open position and during a closing movement from the open position to the closed position, the guiding means comprising a linkage mechanism including at least two links providing connection between the sash hinge part and the frame hinge part, each link of the at least two links being connected to at least one of the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part at a joint and each link of the at least two links being connected to each other, the frame hinge part comprising a base plate defining a hinge plane substantially perpendicular to the hinge axis of the roof window and the sash hinge part comprising a base plate substantially parallel to the base plate of the frame hinge part,
- the at least two links of the linkage mechanism are connected to each other in a bearing axle, and the at least two links comprise a sash link providing connection between the bearing axle and the frame hinge part, and a frame link providing connection between the bearing axle and the sash hinge part, that
- the hinge comprises a braking device acting on at least one element of the movement supporting assembly over at least a part of the opening and/or closing movement, and
- that the braking device comprises at least one friction element,
- wherein the sash link is connected to the frame hinge part by means of an additional link, the sash link being connected to the additional link via a hinged joint.
