Abstract
Rain sensor arrangement for an operator for a window, said window comprising a frame, a sash pivotable with respect to said frame, and a pane mounted in said sash. The operator is adapted for pivoting said sash between a closed and an open position and vice versa, and said operator is controlled via a control circuitry responsive to input signals from at least a rain sensor. The rain sensor has at least one sensing area arranged so as to be protected against rain by said window, when the sash is in the closed position.
Claims18
A rain sensor arrangement comprising
- a window with a frame comprising first and second frame side parts and a lower frame part, a sash pivotable with respect to said frame, and a pane mounted in said sash,
- an operator for said window, and
- a rain sensor,
- said operator being adapted for pivoting said sash between a closed and an open position and vice versa, and said operator being controlled via a control circuitry responsive to input signals from at least the rain sensor, and
- said rain sensor having at least two sensing areas arranged so as to be protected against rain by said window, when the sash is in the closed position,
- wherein said sensing areas are located in the vicinity of the lower frame part of said window and in the vicinity of the frame side parts of said window, wherein said operator comprises a housing on which said sensing areas are located, and wherein said housing essentially extends along the lower frame part over the entire length between the first and second frame side parts, so as to have a first end and second end adjacent a respective one of said first and second frame side parts.
An operator for opening and closing a window, said operator comprising a housing having a first end and a second end, and said operator comprising at least one rain sensor having at least two sensing areas located on said housing, wherein the sensing areas are located inside of a respective area covering from 0 mm to 200 mm from each of the first and second ends of the housing.
A window comprising
- a frame comprising first and second frame side parts and a lower frame part, a sash pivotable with respect to said frame, and a pane mounted in said sash,
- an operator for said window, said operator being adapted for pivoting said sash between a closed and an open position and vice versa, and said operator being controlled via a control circuitry responsive to input signals from at least a rain sensor, and
- a rain sensor having at least two sensing areas arranged so as to be protected against rain by said window, when the sash is in the closed position,
- wherein said sensing areas are located in the vicinity of the lower frame part of said window and in the vicinity of the frame side parts of said window, and said operator comprises a housing on which said sensing areas are located.
