Abstract
A mounting bracket (1, 41, 91, 121) for a roof window has a frame mountable member (2, 2a, 93, 123), a roof mountable member (3, 3a, 94, 124) and a hinge arrangement (22, 34, 95, 125) for mechanically coupling the roof mountable member (3, 3a, 94, 124) and the frame mountable member (2, 2a, 93, 123) together so that the roof mountable member (3, 3a, 94, 124) is movable between an out of use storage position and an in use mounting position. The location of the pivotal point of the hinge arrangement (22, 34, 95, 125) is movable.

A mounting bracket (1, 41, 91, 121) for a roof window, comprising:
- frame mountable means (2, 2a, 93, 123);
- roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124);
- and
- hinge means (22, 34, 95, 125);
- wherein the hinge means mechanically couple the roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124) and the frame mountable means (2, 2a, 93, 123) together so that the roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124) is movable between an out of use storage position and an in use mounting position;
- wherein the location of the pivotal point of the hinge means (22, 34, 95, 125) is movable so that the roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124) is adjustable relative to the frame mountable means (2, 2a, 93, 123) and consequently the window frame is in a plane substantially parallel to a vertical surface of the window frame in use.
A roof window (50, 92, 122) with a plurality of mounting brackets (1, 41, 91, 121), wherein at least one of the mounting brackets comprises:
- frame mountable means (2, 2a, 93, 123);
- roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124);
- and
- hinge means (22, 34, 95, 125);
- wherein the hinge means mechanically couple the roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124) and the frame mountable means (2, 2a, 93, 123) together so that the roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124) is movable between an out of use storage position and an in use mounting position;
- wherein the location of the pivotal point of the hinge means (22, 34, 95, 125) is movable so that the roof mountable means (3, 3a, 94, 124) is adjustable relative to the frame mountable means (2, 2a, 93, 123) and consequently the window frame is in a plane substantially parallel to a vertical surface of the window frame in use.
