Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ventilating valve adapted to be mounted on a building structure, such as a window sash or the like, the building structure having a ventilating opening, the valve comprising a stationary valve part adapted to be fixed on the building structure and an elongated valve element which is connected with the stationary valve part so that the valve element in the mounted position of the valve on the building structure is pivotal about an axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the valve element between a closed position in which it covers the ventilating opening in the building structure and an open position in which the ventilating opening is uncovered, and the valve comprising an operating handle.
  • NO 179985 discloses a ventilating valve having a valve element in the form of a tubular moulding which in its closed position abuts the internal surface of a window sash around a ventilating opening in said sash.
  • Each end of the valve element is guided in a stationary valve part in the form of an end block mounted on the internal surface of the window sash.
  • the valve element may be locked in its closed position by means of locking bars provided at each end of the valve element, respectively, each locking bar being pivotal to a position in which it engages a notch in its corresponding end block.
  • this valve is difficult to operate because both locking bars must be manipulated simultaneously.
  • the valve is bulky.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a ventilating valve which is simpler to operate than the known valves.
  • the ventilating valve according to the invention is characterized in that the operating handle has an at least partially rounded cir- cu ference and a concave outer surface which is curved about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the valve element, in that the concave outer surface has separately marked finger-touch ar- eas for operation of the handle to open and close the valve, and in that said finger-touch areas are positioned opposite each other and along the circumference of the handle.
  • valve element may easily be opened and closed by manipulating the operating handle with one finger, which may abut either of the finger-touch areas. It is a further advantage that the operating handle takes up very little space so that the valve may even be positioned under a hand grip of the window.
  • the finger-touch areas of the operating handle may be recessed in the concave outer surface.
  • the finger-touch areas of the operating handle may be provided with a material which has a surface texture different from, e.g. is softer than the material of the remaining part of the operating handle. This will ensure a comfortable grip when handling the valve and also enable the user to feel with the fingertip where to press on the handle.
  • the operating handle is pivo- tally connected to the valve element about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the valve element, and the operating handle is provided with a locking device in the form of a cylinder extending in the longitudinal direction of the valve element, said cylinder being adapted to engage with a corresponding recess in the stationary valve part in order to lock the valve element in its closed position.
  • a locking device in the form of a cylinder extending in the longitudinal direction of the valve element, said cylinder being adapted to engage with a corresponding recess in the stationary valve part in order to lock the valve element in its closed position.
  • the stationary valve part is constituted by an . extruded moulding, the moulding has a longitudinal slot with opposite walls, and each of said walls has a plurality of adjacent grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the slot, whereby the grooves of one of the walls are staggered in relation to the grooves of the other wall.
  • the stationary valve part has two ends, each of which is provided with an end member, and each end member has a thin cover plate adapted to contact a surface of the building structure and an underlying part adapted to engage a recess in said surface of the building structure.
  • the ventilating valve may by embedded in the building structure in a elongated recess in the latter, whereby the cover plate may conceal the termination of the recess and thereby provide a more es- thetic appearance of the installed valve.
  • the part of the end member underlying the cover plate may ensure good positioning of the valve in the recess.
  • valve element is provided with an elastic sealing strip adapted to contact the building structure around the ventilating opening in said structure. Apart from sealing the valve element against the building structure in the closed position of the valve element, the elasticity of the sealing strip provides for a closing force keeping the locking element in engagement with its corresponding recess in the closed position of the valve element .
  • the present invention further relates to a window assembly comprising a ventilating valve as described above.
  • the window assembly is characterized in that it comprises a window sash which is mounted pivotally in a window frame, in that substantially the entire ventilating valve is situated in a recess in a top member of the window sash, and in that a hand grip for the opening of the window has the form of a moulding extending along the ventilating valve outside said recess in the window sash.
  • the top member of the window sash is cotti- posed of at least two mouldings, a first one of which delimits a first side wall and two rounded end walls of said recess, and a second one of which delimits a second side wall of said recess.
  • the recess may be machined very easily in a milling machine by cutting out material from the first moulding, entering the material from that side of the recess to be machined that will be delimited by the second moulding.
  • the rounded end walls will result automatically from the rotating milling tool.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the face of a ventilating valve according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rear of the ventilating valve in Fig. 1,
  • Figs. 3 is an enlarged view of. a segment of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 4 is a side view of the ventilating valve, seen from its right side in Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 5 is another side view of the ventilating valve, seen from its left side in Fig. 1
  • Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 are sectional views of the ventilating valve in Fig. 1 installed in a window sash, in the closed and the open position of the valve, respectively.
  • Fig. 1 shows a ventilating valve 1 according to the invention, seen from its face side.
  • the valve 1 comprises a stationary elongate valve element 2 formed from an extruded aluminium moulding, a valve element 3 also formed from an extruded aluminium moulding, an operating handle 4 formed from injec- tion-moulded plastic, and two end members 5, 6 also formed from injection-moulded plastic.
  • Fig. 2 shows the ventilating valve 1 from the rear side, which will be hidden in the installed position of the valve.
  • Each end member 5, 6 is con- nected to a respective end of the stationary valve member 2 by means of a tab 7, 8 which is formed integrally with the end member and pressed into engagement with a slot 9 formed longitudinally in the rear side of the stationary valve member 2 .
  • a part 10, 11 of the aluminium material of the stationary valve member 2 next to the tab is depressed slightly into the plastic material of the tab 7, 8 in order to secure the tab in the slot 9.
  • Each end member 5, 6 has a thin cover plate 12 of rectangular shape extending substantially in the plane of the face side 13 of the stationary valve member 2 and over the entire width of the valve 1, seen from its face side. Under the cover plate 12 and visible from the rear side of the valve 1 each end member has a hollow underlying part 14 of rectangular shape, except for one rounded corner 15. The rounded corners 15 are provided in order for the valve 1 to fit into a recess 16 having rounded corners at its ends.
  • Fig. 6 shows the ventilating valve 1 installed in a top member 17 of a window sash.
  • the top member 17 is composed of a first moulding 18 delimiting an upper wall 19 and the rounded end walls of the recess 16 and a second moulding 20 delimiting the lower wall 21 of the recess 16.
  • the first moulding 18 surrounds an elongate ventilating opening 22 which opens to the exterior side of the window.
  • the recess 16 is ma- chined in the first moulding 18 by means of a milling machine before assembly of the sash 17. The milling tool is entered into the recess 16 from its lower side where a wall 21 closes the recess in the assembled condition of the window sash 17, shown in Fig. 6.
  • the stationary valve member 2 is installed next to the lower wall 21 of the recess 16 and is substantially flush with the inner surface 23 of the top member 17 of the window sash.
  • the stationary valve member 2 is secured to the top member 17 by means of screws indicated by the dash-dot line 24 and inserted through an exterior surface 25 of the top member 17 into the slot 9 in the stationary valve member 2.
  • the not shown screws engage with adjacent grooves 26 provided in either side wall of the slot 9.
  • the grooves 26 in one side wall of the slot 9 is displaced slightly in relation to the grooves 26 of the other side wall in order for the screw threads to fit the grooves on either side of the slot.
  • the valve element 3 is connected pivotally with the stationary valve member 2 by means of a cylindrical part 27 formed integrally with the valve element 3, extending in the longitudinal direction of the valve member 3 , and fitted in a corresponding semi-cylindrical recess 28 formed in the stationary valve member 2.
  • the valve element 3 is provided with an elastic sealing strip 29 which in the closed position of the valve shown in Fig. 6 abuts the edges of the ventilating opening 22 provided in the top member 17 of the window sash.
