Screening arrangement comprising means for mounting side rails and method of mounting such a screening arrangement

A method of mounting a screening arrangement in a frame, including the following steps:

• providing a top element with a top rail having a first end and a second mitred end,
• providing two side rails each having a first mitred end and a second mitred end,
• providing a pair of angular brackets, wherein each angular bracket having a first leg and a second leg, the second leg having an inner edge surface with an assembly recess for aiding in assembly of the screening arrangement,
• connecting the angular brackets to a reception member,
• connecting the top element to an internal side of the frame that faces an aperture to be screened,
• joining the side rails to the top rail at the mitred ends by the angular brackets such that the top rail extends in a first longitudinal direction, the side rails extend in a second longitudinal direction on an internal side of the frame that faces the aperture to be screened, and the screening arrangement has a center between the two side rails and below the top element whereby during the step of joining the side rails to the top rail, each side rail is brought from a first position in which the side rail is out of alignment with the second longitudinal direction to a second position in which each side rail is out of alignment with the second longitudinal direction and a portion of each side rail extends into an assembly recess, of a corresponding angular bracket and a third position in which each of the side rails is in alignment with the second longitudinal direction,
• providing a bottom element and a screening body, wherein said screening body includes a first end edge, a second end edge and side edges and the bottom element includes a first end and a second end,
• accommodating the first end edge in the top element, wherein the second end edge is fastened to the bottom element, said bottom element is movable between a non-screening position close to the top element and a screening position at a distance from the top element,
• wherein said first and second longitudinal directions define a plane, and said first and second legs are positioned substantially in parallel with said plane in a mounted position, and wherein said reception member is provided as a track in the back side of each side rail, respectively, and a track in the back side of the top rail, and
• wherein each side rail is provided with a further track and the side edges of the screening body and the ends of the bottom element are introduced into the further track.

A method of mounting a screening arrangement in a frame, including the following steps:

• providing a top element with a top rail having a first end and a second mitred end,
• providing two side rails each having a first end and a second mitred end,
• providing a pair of angular brackets, wherein each angular bracket having a first leg and a second leg, the second leg having an outer edge and an inner edge surface, the inner edge surface extending from a lowermost portion of said second leg to said first leg the inner edge surface of the second leg includes a first portion offset from a second portion to form an assembly recess,
• connecting the angular brackets to a reception member,
• connecting the top element to an internal side of the frame that faces an aperture to be screened,
• joining the side rails to the top rail at the mitred ends by the angular brackets such that the top rail extends in a first longitudinal direction, the side rails extend in a second longitudinal direction on an internal side of the frame that faces the aperture to be screened, and the screening arrangement has a center between the two side rails and below the top element whereby during the step of joining the side rails to the top rail, each side rail is brought from a first position in which the side rail is in contact with a corresponding second leg and out of alignment with the second longitudinal direction to a second position in which each of the side rails is in contact with a corresponding second leg and in alignment with the second longitudinal direction and no portion of the inner edge surface of the second leg of each angular bracket moves relative to any other portion of the inner edge surface of the second leg the assembly recess is configured to receive at least a portion of a corresponding side rail when the corresponding side rail moves between the first position and the second position,
• providing a bottom element and a screening body, wherein said screening body includes a first end edge, a second end edge and side edges,
• accommodating the first end edge in the top element, wherein the second end edge is fastened to the bottom element, said bottom element is movable between a non-screening position close to the top element and a screening position at a distance from the top element,
• wherein said first and second longitudinal directions define a plane, and said first and second legs are positioned substantially in parallel with said plane in a mounted position, and wherein said reception member is provided as a track in the back side of each side rail, respectively, and a track in the back side of the top rail, and wherein the inner edge surface is disposed closer to said center than said outer edge surface.
