Description

[0001] The invention relates to an insect screen device for attachment to a window comprising a window frame and a window sash. Similar insect screen devices for attachment to a window comprising a window frame and a window sash are known in principle from the prior art. For example, it is known to arrange a fly screen by means of a hook-and-loop fastener in the gap between a window sash and a window frame to prevent insects from passing through the gap of the open window.

[0002] The invention is based on the objective of providing an insect screen device for attachment to a window comprising a window frame and a window sash, which is particularly easy and cost-effective to manufacture and whose installation is simple, quick and reliable, especially even by a person who is not professionally trained.

[0003] The problem is solved by an insect screen device for attachment to a window comprising a window frame and a window sash according to claim 1. The dependent claims relate to possible embodiments of the insect screen device.

[0004] The invention relates to an insect screen device for attachment to a window comprising a window frame and a window sash, comprising (a) a frame connection device for contact, in particular for attachment, to a window frame of a window, (b) a sash connection device for contact, in particular for attachment, to a window sash of the window, and (c) a shielding device extending between the frame connection device and the sash device. The shielding device is configured to shield a gap between the window sash and the window frame when the window is open, wherein the shielding device is attached or attachable to the frame connection device and is attached or attachable to the sash connection device.In other words, the shielding device is attached or attachable to both the frame connection device and the sash connection device. By bringing the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device into contact with, and in particular attaching it to, the window frame, sash, or window leaf before or during the installation of the shielding device, a defined interface for mounting the shielding device can be created, thus facilitating its installation. The frame connection device and / or the sash connection device forms an interface for attaching the shielding device to the window frame or sash.

[0005] A "fastenable" design of the interface for attaching the shielding device to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device means that, in particular, the shielding device can be attached without tools. Thus, a "fastenable" attachment can mean that the connecting parts are designed to be attached to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device, or to enter into a fastening arrangement, during the intended use of the shielding device.

[0006] The shielding device can, for example, be attached to the frame connection device while the frame connection device is in contact with, and / or attached to, the window frame, and / or the shielding device can be attached to the sash connection device while the sash connection device is in contact with, and / or attached to, the window sash. In other words, the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device is first attached to, or made in contact with, the window frame or window sash, and then the shielding device is attached to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device.

[0007] This allows for the pre-assembly of the frame connection device and / or sash connection device to the window frame or sash. The shielding device can also optionally be factory-attached exclusively to the sash connection device or to the frame connection device. This allows for the shielding device to be attached after the sash or frame connection device, which is already pre-assembled with the shielding device, has been attached. The remaining frame or sash connection device, not factory-attached with the shielding device, can then be attached to the window frame or sash.

[0008] The shielding device can be configured to move the window between a closed and an open position, expanding and contracting, or extending and contracting. In particular, the open position can, preferably exclusively, include tilting the window. For example, the shielding device comprises at least one sliding element, and in particular several sliding elements, which move relative to each other during the movement of the shielding device between the open and closed positions. For example, the sliding elements move or fan out in a fan-like manner. The sliding elements can perform a linear movement, at least partially, preferably predominantly, and most preferably exclusively.Alternatively, the shielding device can be designed to be elastic in such a way that the area covered by the shielding device expands or contracts when the shielding device is stretched.

[0009] The purpose of the shielding device is to close or shield the gap that forms between the window frame and the window sash when the window is open, at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely. The area covered by the shielding device is intended to prevent insects from passing through. For this purpose, the shielding device can, for example, be designed, at least partially, as a net-like structure, allowing gas to pass through while preventing insects from doing so. Alternatively or additionally, the shielding device can be at least partially, and in particular completely, opaque and / or lightproof. The shielding device can also be designed as a filter, allowing specific light components to pass through while inhibiting the passage of other light components.Alternatively or additionally, a shielding material of the shielding device can be designed as gauze or gauze.

[0010] It is possible that the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device is / are designed as a frame body comprising several, in particular rigid, frame elements. By forming the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device from several frame elements, a more compact packaging volume of the, in particular rigid, sash connection device and / or frame connection device can be achieved, thereby reducing, for example, transport costs.

[0011] If the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device are designed as stiff or rigid frame elements, simplified installation of the corresponding device on the window sash or window frame is possible.

[0012] The frame connection device and / or the sash connection device can be designed as flat bodies, in particular as frame-shaped or frame-like bodies. Preferably, the material thickness of the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device is less than 2 cm, more preferably less than 1.5 cm, particularly preferably less than 1.0 cm, most preferably less than 0.75 cm, and further preferably less than 0.50 cm. Such a flat design of the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device allows for a subtle change in the appearance of the window incorporating the insect screen.

[0013] It is possible that the frame body forming the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device is composed of at least three frame elements, wherein at least one first frame element can be attached to a second frame element via a first fastening interface, and a further frame element can be attached to the second frame element or another frame element via a second fastening interface, the two fastening interfaces being designed differently in such a way that a connection between the first frame element and the further frame element is prevented. In other words, the fastening interfaces are designed such that the individual different frame elements can be connected to each other in a predetermined configuration to form the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device.This prevents someone, especially someone without technical expertise, from assembling the frame elements in an incorrect configuration. This simplifies the assembly of the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device, thus enabling, for example, a "Poka-Yoke" principle, allowing a person to perform a correct assembly on the first attempt without much thought, thereby avoiding errors. For instance, the interfaces of the frame elements are designed with interlocking and counter-elements, similar to a puzzle, whereby only the predetermined interlocking and counter-elements allow for the formation of a predefined configuration of the arrangement of the frame parts, based on the geometry of the interlocking and counter-elements.Optionally, the interfaces of the frame elements can be designed such that, in the assembled state, the frame elements form a frame body that is at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, rigid. In this case, the frame elements and their interfaces can be designed to be so rigid that, in the assembled state, the frame body experiences no or no significant deformation, i.e., no more than 20%, preferably no more than 15%, particularly preferably no more than 10%, and most preferably no more than 2%, due to its own weight.

[0014] The (a) frame connection device can, for example, be attached or attachable in and / or to the window frame and / or the (b) sash connection device can, for example, be attached or attachable in or to the window sash by means of a force-fit and / or material-fit and / or form-fit connection. At least a partially force-fit connection can, for example, be achieved by means of a magnet and a magnetic or magnetizable connecting partner. Thus, it is possible that the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device, as well as the window frame and / or the window sash, are at least partially magnetic or include magnets, so that the frame connection device and / or sash connection device can be, or are, attached or attached to the window frame or the window sash, at least partially, by means of magnetic forces.

[0015] It is possible that contact between the frame connection device and the window frame and / or the sash connection device is achieved by means of a clamping or pressure force, so that at least a friction-fit attachment of the frame connection device to the window frame and / or at least a friction-fit attachment of the sash connection device to the window sash can be achieved. For example, it is possible that the insect screen device includes a clamping device arranged between the sash connection device and the frame connection device, which is designed to press the sash connection device against the window sash and / or the frame connection device against the window frame by means of a pressure force emanating from the clamping device in the final assembly state of the insect screen device.For example, the frame connection device can be fixed to the window frame by force-fit, material-fit, or form-fit, and the sash connection device can be pressed against the window sash via the pressure device, thus creating a force-fit attachment of the sash connection device to the window sash. This principle can also be reversed, so that the sash connection device is fixed to the window sash by force-fit, material-fit, or form-fit, and the frame connection device is pressed against the window frame via the pressure device, with the sash connection device or the structure of the window sash serving as the abutment for the pressure force exerted by the pressure device. The advantage of the pressure device is that at least one interface for attaching the shielding device to the window sash and window frame does not require a material-fit or form-fit connection to the window sash or window frame, i.e.,It must be fixed in place using adhesive, screws, or similar means, so that no irreversible damage is done to at least the window sash or frame. Optionally, it may be possible, for example, to hold the insect screen device in place primarily, or even exclusively, by the tension or pressure force of the mounting device.

[0016] The clamping device can, for example, comprise at least one spring element, such as a tension spring and / or a telescopic spring, to generate a clamping force. Alternatively or additionally, the clamping device can comprise a magnetic element which generates a clamping force or pressure force due to repulsive magnetic forces. This allows the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device to be pressed into place or fastened without the window frame or sash itself being magnetically effective – i.e., without it being made of or being provided with a magnetic or magnetizable material.

[0017] It is possible that the contact surface of the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device, which is pressed against the window sash or the window frame, has a feature that increases adhesion, e.g. a roughened surface and / or a rubber element attached or applied to the surface, so that the risk of slippage due to the contact force is reduced or eliminated.

[0018] Preferably, the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device is designed as a rigid body, so that a contact force acting, for example, at a single point on these devices, is distributed over the contact surface of the sash connection device and / or the frame connection device with the window sash or window frame in such a way that a gapless connection - e.g., at least such that no insects can pass through any gaps - of the sash connection device with the window sash and / or the frame connection device with the window frame is enabled.

[0019] It is possible that at least components of the clamping device, in particular the entire clamping device, are attached to the wing connection device and / or the frame connection device in a way that prevents loss, e.g., permanently or not detachably, and in a manner that is movable.

[0020] It is possible that the clamping mechanism is located within the screen, meaning that in the final assembly state of the insect screen, the clamping mechanism is located on or surrounded by the inward-facing side of the screen. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the screen, as it allows for convenient handling from the tilted side when the insect screen is installed on the window and the window is tilted.

[0021] A positive-locking connection can be achieved, for example, by means of a groove formed in the window frame and / or window sash, in which an engagement element on the frame connection side or an engagement element on the sash connection side is received or can be received. The positive-locking connection, in particular a positive-locking connection formed as a groove, can, for example, include an undercut area in which the engagement element can engage in the final assembly state. The groove can, for example, be designed as a T-slot or a T-rail.

[0022] A material-bonded connection can be achieved, for example, by gluing the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device to or in the window frame or to or in the window sash.

[0023] It is possible that the shielding device is attached or can be attached to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device by means of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. For example, the shielding device can be attached or can be attached to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device via a snap-fit ​​connection or a clip connection.It is possible that the wing connection device and / or the frame connection device includes a magnetic or magnetizable section, for example, a magnet is arranged in or on the wing connection device and / or the frame connection device, wherein this magnet interacts with a magnetic area of ​​the shielding device in the final assembly state, so that, due to this magnetic force, the shielding device is held on the wing connection device and / or the frame connection device.

[0024] The shielding device can be detachably attached, preferably without tools, to or on the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device. If the shielding device is connected or connectable to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device via a detachable connection, it is possible to detach the shielding device from the window, i.e., from the frame connection device or the sash connection device remaining on the window or window frame, for example, in case of a defect or for cleaning. After detaching the shielding device from the window, it can be cleaned or replaced. It is also possible to have different shielding devices available, which differ in their light transmission, i.e.,in their degree of transparency and / or translucency, whereby a first and at least one further shielding device can be mounted alternately on the window.

[0025] A connecting element can, for example, be arranged or formed at an edge region of the shielding means, wherein the connecting element, in the final assembly state, forms a clamping connection with a receiving section of the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device. The shielding means can, for example, be designed as a flat or folded body and comprise, at least at one edge region, in particular at two oppositely arranged edge regions, a connecting element, in particular designed as a wire-like body, which forms a clamping connection with the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device. The frame connection device and / or the sash connection device can be, respectively,The connection element can, for example, comprise at least one receiving section designed as a channel-like recess, in which, in the final assembly state, the connection element is received at least partially, and in particular completely. Preferably, the channel-like receiving recess can extend along, i.e., parallel to, the longitudinal axis of the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device. For example, the connection element is designed as a rigid body that can be inserted into the receiving recess, in particular clipped into it. Preferably, the receiving recess has at least one locking element, i.e., a locking lug, which, in the final assembly state, holds the connection element received in the receiving recess or prevents the connection element from moving out of the receiving recess.For example, the connecting element is designed as a wire which at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely surrounds and stiffens the shielding element, which is particularly flexible, at its edge region. This edge region of the shielding element, stiffened by the wire-like connecting element, can be inserted or pressed into the receiving recess, whereby a locking lug on the frame connection device side and / or on the sash connection device side is pressed over, so that in the final assembly state the locking lug holds the connecting element and thus the shielding device to the frame connection device and / or to the sash connection device.

[0026] It is possible that (a) a fragrance dispenser unit releasing a fragrance is arranged or configured in and / or on the frame connection device and / or (b) in and / or on the sash connection device. The fragrance dispenser unit may be configured to release a fragrance into the environment through active or passive release. Active release means that the fragrance is released into the environment through an active action, such as activating a sprayer. Passive release refers to the release of a fragrance stored in a fragrance reservoir of the fragrance dispenser unit into the environment through volatilization or other passive means.For example, the fragrance reservoir of a passive fragrance dispenser unit is designed as a closed chamber, this chamber being provided with at least one opening through which the fragrance can escape. In other words, the fragrance dispenser unit can comprise at least one fragrance reservoir, wherein opening an opening of the fragrance reservoir allows a fragrance stored in the fragrance reservoir to be released into the surroundings or the environment. Optionally, the fragrance dispenser unit can comprise at least one closure means, wherein the at least one closure means is movable between an open position releasing the opening of the fragrance reservoir and a closed position closing the opening of the fragrance reservoir by means of an actuating mechanism.By actuating the mechanism accordingly, the dispenser can open the opening, thus releasing the fragrance, and close it, thus preventing the release of fragrance. The fragrance dispenser preferably dispenses a fragrance that repels insects. The fragrance can be, for example, a natural and / or plant-based substance, such as an essential oil. The fragrance can be, for example, a scent-releasing agent or include one. Alternatively or additionally, the fragrance can be, or include, a scent-inhibiting agent, such as a fungicide and / or bactericide.

[0027] The fragrance dispenser unit can be configured, either alternatively or additionally, to release a fragrance into the surrounding area via a fragrance nozzle on the dispenser unit by activating a confirmation mechanism. A drive mechanism, such as a manually or automatically driven pump, can perform the at least temporary delivery of the fragrance to and / or through the fragrance nozzle. In the final assembly state of the insect screen, the fragrance nozzle can be oriented so that the fragrance is directed into an interior and / or exterior area of ​​the window equipped with the insect screen.

[0028] Optionally, the fragrance dispensed by the fragrance dispenser unit can be applied, at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, to the shielding device. From there, the fragrance can be released into the environment. For example, the shielding material of the device is designed as gauze or gauze, so that the fragrance dispensed by the fragrance nozzle rests on or within the shielding material and / or is absorbed by it. As the shielding material extends further, the fragrance is released into the airflow, for example, by means of an airflow passing through it. This can have the advantage of enabling fragrance release over a longer period.

[0029] At least one actuation mechanism can be configured, for example, such that the actuation of the confirmation mechanism is triggered by movement between the frame connection device and the sash connection device. In other words, positive actuation of the actuation mechanism can be achieved if a relative movement occurs between the frame connection device and the sash connection device. Anchor points for attaching an actuation mechanism to the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device can be arranged or formed. Optionally, an anchor point of the actuation mechanism can be arranged or formed on the window frame and / or the window sash. An anchor point, in this context, refers to a support point or actuation point of the actuation mechanism through which an external force is applied to the actuation mechanism.

[0030] The shielding device can, for example, extend in a U-shape around a window frame, with a closing element arranged or formed at at least one end region, and in particular at two end regions, of the shielding device. This closing element surrounds a hinge and / or a deflection area of ​​the window in such a way that a gap in the area of ​​the hinge or the deflection area is closed, or rather remains closed, by the closing element when the window is tilted. In other words, the shielding function in the area of ​​the hinge or the deflection area can be fulfilled by the closing element arranged at the end regions of the shielding device. The deflection area is understood here to be the area that undergoes a slight deflection during the opening and closing movement of the window sash relative to the window frame.In the case of a window sash that can be tilted around a tilt axis running essentially along one side of a rectangular window, the deflection area can be located in the immediate vicinity of the tilt axis.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the shielding device can comprise a hinge shielding means arranged on a region of the window sash spaced apart from the tilting axis of a tiltable window sash. For example, a window sash can be movably mounted on the window frame by means of a first vertically arranged hinge at the top and a vertically arranged hinge at the bottom, with the hinge shielding means shielding the vertically arranged hinge at the top.

[0032] It is possible that the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device includes a cavity-shaped receiving space for at least partial, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely accommodating the shielding device when the window is closed. In other words, the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device has wall sections that define or delimit a receiving space in which the shielding device is at least partially accommodated. These wall sections can surround the shielding device, particularly when the window is closed, at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, thereby protecting it from mechanical influences and / or preventing or reducing soiling of the shielding device.The cavity formed by the wall sections can, for example, additionally serve to accommodate a fragrance line, wherein the fragrance line is configured to supply a fragrance nozzle arranged or formed on the frame connection device and / or wing connection device side with a fragrance. Optionally, a drive device for conveying the fragrance, in particular a pump, can be arranged or formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, within the cavity or receiving space defined by the wall sections.

[0033] The receiving space on the frame connection side and / or the sash connection side can, for example, be arranged or designed such that it does not extend beyond a window sash end plane facing away from the window frame. This results in a compact and unobtrusive design for the insect screen. Essentially, this is achieved by placing the screen in the space located laterally next to the window frame. In other words, the receiving space for the screen can be located laterally to the window frame and within the main plane of extension of the window frame. The window sash end plane is understood here to be the main plane of extension of the window sash located at the end of the window sash facing away from the window frame.

[0034] A lighting unit equipped with at least one light source can be arranged or integrated into or on the frame connection device and / or in or on the sash connection device. This allows the insect screen device to include a lighting function in addition to preventing insects from passing through the gap formed by the window frame and sash. The light emitted by the light source can be used for orientation and / or as a status signal for the window and / or as a status signal for the insect screen device and / or as ambient lighting. The light emitted by the light source of the lighting unit can be understood as a status signal for the window if it indicates whether the window is open and / or closed and / or the degree to which the window is open.A status signal from the insect screen can indicate, through the intensity and / or color of the light source, the operating, wear, and / or soiling status of the insect screen, particularly the shielding mechanism. The light source can be controlled, for example, based on the activation and / or operating status of the fragrance dispenser unit. For instance, the light source can indicate that a fragrance reservoir needs refilling and / or that the battery powering the fragrance dispenser unit needs replacing. In the aforementioned cases where the light source is used as a signal transmitter, a control unit can generate and / or output a control signal for the light source based on status information received from it.For example, at least one light source, in particular all light sources, of the lighting device is designed as an LED.

[0035] The light source can, for example, include a signaling function for a person and thus emit light that is perceptible to the human eye.

[0036] The frame connection device can, for example, have a depth that is less than or equal to the depth of the sash connection device; preferably, the frame connection device has a depth that is at most half, particularly preferably at most one-third, most preferably at most one-quarter, and further preferably at most one-sixth, of the depth of the sash connection device. Because the device, which is smaller in volume and / or weight, is attached to the window frame, the lighter and smaller device is attached to the movable component during normal operation of the insect screen device, while the larger and potentially heavier device remains on the static window frame.

[0037] At least in one area of ​​the shielding device assigned to the top of the window in its final assembly state, a support unit extending between the sash connection device and the frame connection device may be arranged or formed, which is designed to support at least a portion of the shielding element of the shielding device when the window is open. In other words, the support unit may be designed to support the shielding device at least partially, so that it does not move due to gravity into an area that impedes the operation of the window equipped with the insect screen.For example, a shielding device located at the upper end of the window sash could, due to gravity, become caught in a gap between an open, especially tilted, window sash and the window frame, whereby this sagging or sagging of the shielding device, at least partially, is prevented or reduced by the support provided by the support unit.

[0038] In an optional further development, the support unit may include at least one support element on which a shielding element rests at least partially and / or which is guided at least partially through openings in the shielding element; preferably, the support element is elastically designed. An elastically designed support element, or one prestressed into a first state by means of a prestressing device, can enable the window to assume a more compact position when closing. Alternatively or additionally, the support unit may include a sliding and / or guide rail in or on which a section of a support element moves while the window sash is moved between an open and a closed position.The support element can, for example, be designed as a rod-like or rod-shaped body, particularly a telescopic one, wherein this body is rotatably mounted at one end on the sash connection device or the frame connection device and is translationally and rotationally movable at the other end in the sliding and / or guide rail, so that during an opening or closing movement of the window sash relative to the window frame, the support element can move into a rotated or a retracted position relative to the sliding and / or guide rail. The sliding and / or guide rail can thus, for example, serve as a receiving area for the part of the support element that is inserted when the window is closed.

[0039] The shielding device can, for example, comprise a folded or foldable shielding element that, when the window is closed, is in a folded state, at least partially. A foldable shielding element is understood to be a shielding device that has predetermined bending points or folding areas which allow the shielding element to be folded in a predefined manner.

[0040] It is possible that the shielding device comprises a foldable or folded shielding element, wherein a stiffening element is arranged or formed at at least one fold of the shielding element, preferably at the majority of the folds of the shielding element, and particularly preferably at all folds of the shielding element. For example, the stiffening element is attached to the at least one fold of the shielding element by means of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. For example, the stiffening element is made of a plastic and applied to the shielding element by means of a dipping or injection molding process. In the folded state of the shielding element, the stiffening elements of adjacent folds can touch each other. Alternatively or additionally, for example, an offset of adjacent folds or fold ends, in particular a stepped and / or alternating offset in height, can be provided.The stiffening element can, for example, be made at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, of plastic and / or metal. The foldable shielding element can, for example, be designed as a bellows; preferably, the bellows can be configured to have a preload in its expanded or compressed position.

[0041] It is possible that the shielding device comprises at least two shielding elements connected by a corner connector. A shielding device can form a planar extension of the shielding element. The shielding element can, for example, be foldable or equipped with predetermined folding areas, whereby the transition from a first shielding element to an adjacent shielding element arranged across a corner area can be effected by means of the corner connector. Preferably, the corner connector is made of a different material than at least one of the shielding elements. The at least one corner connector can be connected to the shielding elements connected by it by force-fit, material-fit, or form-fit connection. For example, a corner connector can be connected to the at least one, and in particular both, shielding element(s) by means of a hook-and-loop fastener and / or a zipper.The corner connector is preferably a separate component from the shielding element. For example, the corner connector is designed as an elastic plastic body. In an optional embodiment, a corner connector is pre-assembled at the factory on at least one shielding element or attached to the shielding element, so that at the point of final assembly of the insect screen device, only the corner connector needs to be connected to the other shielding element.

[0042] It is possible that the frame body of the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device consists of a first and a second vertical unit, each arranged vertically in the final assembly state, and at least one first horizontal unit, arranged horizontally in the final assembly state. In a first configuration, the first and second vertical units and the first horizontal unit are assembled, in particular by plugging them together, to form a U-shaped, in particular rigid, frame body and thus a frame connection device and / or sash connection device.In an optional configuration, a further horizontal unit can be provided, which can be attached to the open end of the U-shaped frame body to form a closed frame body, in particular a closed rectangle, and thus a frame connection device and / or sash connection device having a corresponding shape. At least one vertical unit, in particular both vertical units, and / or at least one horizontal unit can be formed from at least two frame elements, such that a vertical unit and / or horizontal unit is formed from at least two assembled, in particular plugged, frame elements. In other words, a horizontal and / or vertical unit can be formed by assembling, in particular plugging together, at least two frame elements.If the configuration results in a U-shaped frame, it can, for example, be designed for an insect screen that covers the opening gap only when the window is tilted, particularly by 20° around a horizontal axis. If the frame has a closed shape, it can also be opened beyond simply tilting the window, i.e., typically by 90° around a vertical pivot axis.

[0043] It is possible that a pressure device is arranged between the sash connection device and the frame connection device, wherein the pressure device is designed to press the sash connection device against the window sash and / or the frame connection device against the window frame by means of a pressure force in the final assembly state of the insect screen device.

[0044] In addition to the insect screen device, the invention also relates to a method for mounting an insect screen device, in particular an insect screen device described herein, comprising the following method steps: (a) attaching a frame connection device to a window frame of a window, (b) attaching a sash connection device to a window sash of a window, (c) arranging a shielding device extending between the frame connection device and the sash connection device, wherein the shielding device is configured to shield a gap area between the window sash and the window frame when the window is open, wherein the shielding device is attached to the frame connection device and / or to the sash connection device.The arrangement of a shielding device between the frame connection device and the sash connection device can take place before, during, or after the sash connection device is attached to the window sash and / or before, during, or after the frame connection device is attached to the window frame. The shielding device is attached, in particular exclusively, to the sash connection device and the frame connection device and thus has no further support or connection to other elements. In other words, the shielding device is supported solely by the sash connection device and the frame connection device. Therefore, the sash connection device and the frame connection device can, for example, form the sole interfaces of the insect screen device with the window.

[0045] In an optional further development of the method, the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device may be designed as a frame body comprising several, in particular rigid, frame elements, wherein, before or during the fastening of the frame connection device to or on the window frame and / or before the fastening of the sash connection device to or on the window sash, the at least two frame elements are connected to form the, in particular rigid, frame body. In other words, the frame connection device and / or the sash connection device may be designed in multiple parts and only attain their, in particular essential, geometric shape in the assembled state. Via appropriately equipped interfaces of the frame elements, these can form a rigid frame body in the assembled form.

[0048] In the Figure 1An insect screen 1 for attachment to a window 4 comprising a window frame 2 and a window sash 3 is shown. The window 4 is shown as an example installed in an opening in a building wall. The insect screen 1 has a frame connection device 6 for attachment to a window frame 2 of the window 4 and a sash connection device 5 for attachment to a window sash 3 of the window 4. Furthermore, the insect screen 1 includes a shielding device 7, which extends between the frame connection device 6 and the sash connection device 5, wherein the shielding device 7 is configured to shield a gap 8 between the window sash 3 and the window frame 2 when the window 4 is in the open position 9. The shielding device 7 is also attached or attachable to the frame connection device 6 and to the sash connection device 5. Figure 1It is evident that the insect screen is arranged in a frame-like manner between the window sash 3 and the window frame 2. In particular, the sash connection device 5 can be arranged at the outer edge of the window sash 3 in such a way that elements arranged on the window sash side, e.g., a handle for locking and unlocking the window 4, are not covered by the sash connection device 5. The insect screen 1 prevents insects, especially flies, from passing through the gap 8.

[0049] As exemplified in the Figure 1 , 6 and 7As shown, the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 can be designed as a frame body 11 comprising several, in particular rigid, frame elements 10, 10'. The frame elements 10, 10' can optionally be designed as rigid elements, so that the combined frame elements 10, 10' form a rigid frame body which forms the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5.

[0050] The frame body 11 forming the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 can, for example, comprise at least one first frame element 10 which can be attached to a second frame element 10' via a first fastening interface 12, and a further frame element 10" can be attached to the second frame element 10' or another frame element via a second fastening interface 13, wherein the two fastening interfaces 12, 13 are designed differently in such a way that a connection of the first frame element 10 with the further frame element 10" is prevented or prevented, cf. Figures 6 to 9 In the variant shown - cf. Figures 8 and 9- the fastening interfaces 12, 13 are designed as different engagement and counter elements, so that obviously a connection of the frame elements 10, 10', 10" is only possible in a predetermined way, i.e. in a predefined configuration of the frame elements 10, 10', 10" to each other.

[0051] The frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 can be designed as flat bodies, i.e., the depth or thickness 31, 32 of the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 is less than one-tenth, preferably less than one-fifteenth, and particularly preferably less than one-twenty-fifth, of the horizontal and / or vertical length of the assembled frame connection device 6 and / or sash connection device 5. The material thickness or the depth or thickness 31, 32 of the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 can, for example, be less than 2 cm, preferably less than 1.5 cm, particularly preferably less than 1.0 cm, most preferably less than 0.75 cm, and further preferably less than 0.50 cm.

[0052] The frame connection device 6 can be attached or fastened in or on the window frame 2 and / or the sash connection device 5 in or on the window sash 3 by means of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. A form-fit fastening can be achieved, for example, by incorporating a groove (not shown) in the window frame 2 or in the window sash 3, into which an engagement element of the frame connection device 6 or the sash connection device 5 can engage, i.e., be fastened.

[0053] The shielding device 7 can, for example, be attached or attachable to the frame connection device 6 and / or to the sash connection device 5 by means of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. For instance, a magnet 40 may be arranged in or on the frame connection device 6, wherein the magnet 40 exerts an attractive force on at least a section of the shielding device 7 by means of its magnetic field, such that the shielding device 7 is at least partially held to the frame connection device 6 by the magnetic attraction. Alternatively or additionally, the shielding device 7 can be attached or attachable to the frame connection device 6 and / or to the sash connection device 5 via a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0054] The shielding device 7 can, for example, be detachably, preferably without tools, attached or attachable (a) to or in the frame connection device 6 and / or (b) to or in the sash connection device 5. This allows the shielding device 7 to be separated from the frame connection device 6 and / or from the sash connection device 5. This facilitates cleaning of the shielding device 7 through temporary separation. Alternatively, the detachable design allows for simple and convenient replacement of the shielding device 7.

[0055] A connecting element 15 can, for example, be arranged or formed at an edge region 14 of a shielding means 18 of the shielding device 7, wherein the connecting element 15, in the final assembly state, forms a clamping connection with a receiving section 16 of the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5. The frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 can, for example, comprise a receiving section 16 designed as a channel-like receiving recess, in which, in the final assembly state, the connecting element 15 is received at least partially, and in particular completely. For example, the connecting element 15 is designed as a rigid body that can be inserted, and in particular clipped, into the receiving recess. Preferably, the receiving recess has at least one locking lug 17, which, in the final assembly state, engages the connecting element 15 in the receiving recess.in the receiving section 16 holds the connecting element 15 in place or prevents the connecting element 15 from moving out of the receiving recess, cf. . Figure 10 .

[0056] It is possible that the shielding element 18, to adapt to different window sizes, consists of at least two partial elements 50, 50' which are attached or attachable to each other in an overlap area 51. In other words, the shielding element 18 is divided into at least two partial elements 50, 50' and is fixed by attaching the two partial elements 50, 50' to the overlap area 51, adapted to the window size (e.g., by means of hook and loop fasteners). The overlap area 51 or an overlap line 57 between the partial elements 50, 50' can, for example, have a straight course. Alternatively or additionally, the overlap area 51 or an overlap line 57 of the partial elements 50, 50' can run diagonally when viewed from above on a tilted window 4. In other words, this overlap line 57 orViewed from above, the overlap area 51 forms an angle α with the main window extent 58 of a range of 10° to 80°, preferably 25° to 75°, particularly preferably 35° to 55°, and most preferably approximately 45°. The oblique, and in particular diagonal, course of the overlap area 51 ensures that, when the window 4 is closed and thus the compact shielding element 18 is in a compact state, the shielding element has a smaller extent perpendicular to the main window extent 58 when viewed from above.

[0057] For example, the connecting element 15 is designed as a wire or wire-like body which at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely surrounds the, in particular flexible, shielding element 18 of the shielding device 7 at its edge region 14. This edge region 14 of the shielding element 18, stiffened by the wire-like connecting element 15, can be pressed into the receiving recess or into the receiving section 16, whereby a locking lug 17 on the frame connection device side and / or on the sash connection device side is pressed over, so that in the final assembly state the locking lug 17 holds the connecting element 15 and thus the shielding device 7 to the frame connection device 6 and / or to the sash connection device 5.

[0058] It is possible that (a) a fragrance dispenser unit 19 releasing a fragrance is arranged or formed in and / or on the frame connection device 6 and / or (b) in and / or on the sash connection device 5, cf. Figures 18 and 19The fragrance dispenser unit 19 can be used to actively or passively release a fragrance. For example, the fragrance dispenser unit 19 can be configured to apply a fragrance via a fragrance nozzle 41 on the fragrance dispenser unit by actuating a confirmation mechanism 21, e.g., by means of a manually operated pump (not shown) or an electrically driven pump (not shown). It is possible that a fragrance line 42, carrying a fragrance, particularly a liquid fragrance, to the fragrance nozzle 41, is arranged in or on the frame connection device 6 and / or wing connection device 5, which in particular supports the fragrance nozzle 41.Preferably, the fragrance line 42 is arranged or configured in or on the frame connection device 6 and / or wing connection device 5 such that the fragrance line 42 or its components are not visible along its course in the area of ​​the frame connection device 6 and / or wing connection device 5 in the final assembly state of the insect screen device 1. The fragrance line 42 can, for example, be configured as a hose at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely. Such a hose can be held, for example, by retaining means (not shown) of the frame connection device 6 and / or the wing connection device 5. Alternatively or additionally, the fragrance line 42 can be configured as an integral, i.e., one-piece, component of the frame connection device 6 and / or wing connection device 5, at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely.

[0059] According to the Figures 20 to 22 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fragrance dispenser unit 19 can comprise at least one closing means (not shown) which, by means of a confirmation mechanism 21, switches between a closing position that closes the opening(s) 20 - cf. Figure 21 - and an opening that releases the opening(s) 20 - Figure 20 - is relocatable. When the opening 20 is open, a fragrance stored in a fragrance reservoir of the fragrance dispenser unit 19 can be released into the environment.

[0060] The fragrance dispenser unit 19 can, for example, comprise at least one closure means, wherein the at least one closure means is movable between an open position 9 releasing the opening 20 of the fragrance reservoir and a closed position closing the opening 20 of the fragrance reservoir by means of actuation of an actuating mechanism 21.

[0061] At least one actuation mechanism 21 can, for example, be configured to actuate the confirmation mechanism 21 depending on a movement between the frame connection device 6 and the sash connection device 5. Figure 20A pivot bearing 44 is attached to the sash connection device 5 and thus to the window sash 3. The sash connection device 5 is connected to the locking device via a link 45, which is rotatably mounted on the pivot bearing 44. Optionally, the connection between the link 45 and the locking device includes a cam guide 46, whereby a defined forced movement of the locking device occurs by means of the cam guide 46, in particular through the interaction of a pin 22 connected to the locking device and guided in the cam guide 46. The movement of the link 45 can depend on the relative position and / or relative orientation of the sash connection device 5 and the frame connection device 6. The locking device can, for example, be mounted so as to be linearly displaceable on the sash connection device 5 and / or the frame connection device 6.

[0062] As in Figure 22As can be seen, for example, a fragrance reservoir can be a shaped body which can be received into a slide 48 and, in the state received in the slide 48, can be moved and held in a desired position within the fragrance dispenser unit 19 by means of the slide 48. Thus, the fragrance reservoir (body 39) can be inserted into a recess of the slide 48 and moved along the arrow 49 into a position within the fragrance dispenser unit 19.

[0063] The shielding device 7 can, for example, extend in a U-shape around a window frame 2, wherein a termination element 24 is arranged or formed at at least one end region 23, in particular at two end regions 23, 23', of the shielding device 7, cf. Figure 13 , 14 and 18The end element 24 can surround or enclose a hinge 25 and / or a deflection area 26 of the window 4 in such a way that a gap in the area of ​​the hinge 25 or the deflection area 26 is closed by the end element 24 when the window 4 is tilted open. In the case of covering a hinge 25, the end element 24 can refer to the hinge 25 located or formed at the end of the U-shaped frame. The hinge 25 of the window sash located further up can, for example, be surrounded by a section of the sash connection device 5 and / or by the shielding device 7, cf. Figure 5 .

[0064] The end element 24 can, for example, comprise two, in particular rigid, end bodies 52, 53, wherein a first end body 52 is associated with or attached to the window frame 2 and a second end body 53 to the window sash 3. The end bodies 52, 53 can overlap or fan out at least partially in such a way that no gap is formed. In the Figures 24, 25 as well as Figures 33 and 34In the illustrated embodiments, the end bodies 52, 53 are designed as L-shaped profile bodies in cross-section, wherein a first leg of the L of a first end body 52 is fixed to the window frame 2 and a first leg of the L of a second end body 53 is fixed to the window sash 3, via the frame connection device 6 and the sash connection device 5, respectively, and the further leg of the L of each end body 52, 53 is used to form the common overlap and thus to prevent gaps. The end bodies 52, 53 form an interior space in which the hinge 25 of the window 4 is received. The end of the end body 52, 53 facing the shielding device 7 or the shielding body 18 can include a receiving pocket 61, which serves to receive the end region of the shielding body 18 facing the end element 25. This prevents the shielding body 18 from slipping relative to the end element 24.

[0065] In Figure 25 An alternative embodiment is shown, wherein the end element 24 has at least two flexible end elements 54, 55, each of which is attached to the frame connection device 6 and the sash connection device 5, respectively, or extends between these devices 5, 6. A first end element 54 can, for example, be designed as an elastic body, e.g., as an elastomer or as a foam body, while a further end element 55 can be designed as a flexible surface element, cf. the fold pattern of the further end element 55 in Figures 30 to 32The flexible surface element can cover a hinge 25 of the window 4, at least partially, and in particular completely. The first closing element 54, formed from an elastomer and / or a foam, can serve to close the section facing an opening angle of the tilted window 4 or to prevent gaps in the area of ​​the flexible surface element. Optionally, an elastic element, in particular an elastomer and / or a foam, can also be arranged or formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the flexible surface element to prevent an open gap on both sides, cf. Figures 30 and 32Tilting the window 4 tensions the flexible surface element, at least in sections. It is possible that the first termination element 54 has a receiving pocket 61 on its side facing the shielding element 18, or that a receiving pocket 61 is formed to receive the end of the shielding element 18 facing it.

[0066] Optionally, the first and / or second end element 54, 55 can be detachably, in particular non-destructively, attached or attachable to the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 via a fastening interface 56. This fastening interface 56 can, for example, be designed as a hook-and-loop fastener and thus allows for easy and convenient assembly and / or disassembly of the first and / or second end element 54, 55. The fastening interface 56 can include both a fixing option and a support structure, the support structure being used to attach the end element 52, 53 and / or the end element 54, 55. Figure 31The supporting structure is designed as an L-shaped profile, to which one end (short L-leg) of the termination element 55 is fixed and at the other end (long L-leg) a force-, material- and / or form-fit fixing of the supporting structure to the frame connection device 6 is formed.

[0067] In the embodiment according to the Figures 33 and 34The illustration shows a positive-locking fixation of the end bodies 52, 53 to the sash connection device 5 and the frame connection device 6, respectively, wherein assembly can be carried out by means of a linear movement, preferably predominantly, and most preferably exclusively, in sections. A plug-in structure 62 enabling assembly can, for example, be designed in the form of a dovetail. The plug-in structure 62 can, for example, be designed such that an assembly direction (plug-in direction) or a release direction runs perpendicular to a principal axis of extension of the sash connection device 5 and / or frame connection device 6 comprising the plug-in structure 62. Optionally, the assembly direction or the release direction is aligned parallel to a principal plane of extension of the window 4, in particular parallel to the principal plane of extension of the window sash 3 and / or the window frame 2.

[0068] The frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 can, for example, include a receiving space designed as a cavity 27 for at least partial, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely receiving the shielding device 7, at least when the window 4 is closed. The receiving space or cavity 27 is bounded or defined by wall sections 28, 28', 28" of the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5.

[0069] The cavity 27 on the frame connection device side and / or on the sash connection device side is arranged or designed such that it does not extend beyond a window sash termination plane 29 of the window sash 3 facing away from the window frame 2, cf. Figure 2In other words, the cavity 27 is arranged and / or dimensioned such that it does not project beyond the window sash end plane 29. This results in a structure that does not project significantly further into the room than the window sash 3 itself. Alternatively, the cavity 27, or the receiving space for the shielding device 7, can project beyond the window sash end plane 29, cf. the [reference to the following]. Figures 4 and 5 The illustrated embodiment. The extended space or the cavity 27, which extends beyond the window sash termination plane 29, can be used, for example, to accommodate a hinge of the window 4.

[0070] For example, a lighting unit (not shown) equipped with at least one light source (not shown) can be arranged or designed in or on the frame connection device 6 and / or in or on the wing connection device 5.

[0071] The frame connection device 6 can, for example, have a depth or thickness 31 that is less than or equal to the depth or thickness 32 of the sash connection device 5. Preferably, the frame connection device 6 has a thickness 31 that is at most half, particularly preferably at most one-third, most preferably at most one-quarter, and further preferably at most one-sixth, of the depth or thickness 32 of the sash connection device 5. The depth or thickness 31 of the frame connection device 6 and the depth or thickness 32 of the sash connection device 5 are here understood to be the respective extensions of the devices 5 and 6 in their final assembly state, perpendicular to the main extension plane of the (closed) window 4 and / or perpendicular to the main extension plane of the combined frame connection device 6 and / or sash connection device 5.

[0072] At least in one area of ​​the shielding device 7 assigned to a top surface 33 of the window 4 in the final assembly state, a support unit 34 extending between the sash connection device 5 and the frame connection device 6 can be arranged or formed, which is designed to support at least a section of a shielding means 18 of the shielding device 7 when the window 4 is open, cf. Figures 16 and 17The support unit 34 can, for example, comprise at least one support element 35 on which a shielding element 18 rests at least partially and / or which is guided at least partially through openings 30 in the shielding element 18. Preferably, at least one support element 35 is elastically designed. Alternatively or additionally, at least one support element 35 can be rigidly or inelastically designed and movably mounted such that it can perform an evasive movement during the folding of the shielding element 18.

[0073] The support unit 34 can, for example, comprise a sliding and / or guide rail 36 in or on which a section of a support element 35 of the support unit 34 performs a movement, while the window sash 3 of the window 4 is between an open position 9 - cf. Figure 16 - and a closed position - cf. Figure 17 - is being relocated.

[0074] The shielding device 7 can, for example, comprise a folded or foldable shielding means 18 which, when the window 4 is in the closed position, is in a state that is at least partially folded, cf. Figure 16 (unfolded) and 17 (folded). The folds 47 or intended folding areas of the shielding material 18 are in particular made of Figure 16 visible.

[0075] The shielding device 7 can, for example, comprise a foldable or folded shielding means 18, wherein a stiffening means 37 is arranged or formed at at least one fold 47 or intended fold area of ​​the shielding means 18, preferably at the predominant number of folds 47 of the shielding means 18, particularly preferably at all folds 47 of the shielding means 18, cf. Figure 3 .

[0076] The shielding device 7 can, for example, comprise at least two shielding elements 18 connected by a corner connector 38, cf. Figure 12Preferably, the corner connector 38 is made of a different material than at least one of the shielding elements 18. The corner connector 38 can be connected, for example, to two shielding elements to be joined at a corner via a force-fit, material-fit and / or form-fit connection.

[0077] Alternatively, a filling element 45 corresponding to the material of the shielding medium 18 can be arranged or formed in the transition area of ​​two shielding media 18 to be joined at an angle, cf. Figure 11

[0078] In addition to the insect screen device 1, the invention relates to a method for mounting an insect screen device comprising the following process steps: (a) attaching 100 a frame connection device 6 to a window frame 2 of a window 4, (b) attaching 101 a sash connection device 5 to a window sash 3 of a window 4, (c) arranging 102 a shielding device 7, which extends between the frame connection device 6 and the sash connection device 5, wherein the shielding device 7 is configured to shield a gap area 8 between the window sash 3 and the window frame 2 during an open position 9 of the window 4, wherein the shielding device 7 is attached to the frame connection device 6 and / or to the sash connection device 5.

[0079] Optionally, the method can include the additional step whereby the frame connection device 6 and / or the sash connection device 5 is designed as a frame body 11 comprising several, in particular rigid, frame elements 10, 10', wherein, before or during the fastening 100 of the frame connection device 6 in or on the window frame 2 and / or before or during the fastening 101 of the sash connection device 5 in or on the window sash 3, the at least two frame elements 10, 10' are connected to form a, in particular rigid, frame body 11 in the course of a pre-assembly 103.

[0080] It is possible that a pressure device 59 is arranged or formed between the sash connection device 5 and the frame connection device 6, wherein the pressure device 59 is configured, in the final assembly state of the insect screen device 1, to press the sash connection device 5 against the window sash 3 and / or the frame connection device 6 against the window frame 2 by means of a pressure force 60. In the exemplary illustration in the Figures 26 and 27In the illustrated embodiment, the pressure device 59 is designed as a compression spring or a clamping element. The preferably rigid sash connection device 5 and / or rigid frame connection device 6 distributes the pressure force applied at a single point by the compression spring or clamping element over a surface area across the contact surface of the sash connection device 5 and / or frame connection device 6 with the window 4. The pressure device 59 may comprise at least one, preferably at least two, particularly preferably at least three, and most preferably at least four spring elements. The spring elements can be positioned symmetrically on the insect screen device 1.

[0081] In Figure 28It is shown that if a greater pressure force is applied to counteract the pressure force 60 of the pressure device 59, the insect screen device 1 can be brought into a compact state and removed from the opening area of ​​a tilted window 4.

[0082] It is possible that the sash connection device 5 is equipped with a retaining structure 64 for the indirect or direct retention of a privacy and / or sun protection device 65 that at least partially covers a window surface 63 of the window 4. This makes it possible to fix a privacy and / or sun protection device 65 to the window sash 3 via the retaining structure 64 on the sash connection device 5. In the Figure 35In the exemplary embodiment shown, the retaining structure 64 serves to hold at least two rod- or thread- or rope-like retaining elements 66, to which a flat, in particular retractable, privacy and / or sun protection element 67 is held to form the privacy and / or sun protection 65. For example, the privacy and / or sun protection 65 can be attached or attachable to the window sash 3 via the retaining structure 64 of the sash connection device 5 in the manner of a Roman blind or a Venetian blind.
