Flexible insect screen system for the opening gap of tilted roof windows

Abstract

Claim (main claim): A deployable insect screen system for the opening gap of tilted roof windows, characterized in that a flexible insect screen fabric is attached by means of a Velcro strip fixed to the roof window frame in such a way that the opening gap remains completely closed while the window is tilted.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to the field of insect protection for roof windows, in particular for windows that are open in a tilt position. Background of the invention:

[0002] Tilted roof windows create an opening through which insects can enter the interior. Currently, the market offers no simple, residue-free, and functional solution that reliably seals this opening without impairing the window's functionality. Purpose of the invention:

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a simple, flexible, and cost-effective insect screen system, particularly suitable for tilted roof windows. The system should be easy to install and remove, maintain the full functionality of the tilted window, and simultaneously form an effective barrier against insects. Solution:

[0004] The insect screen system consists of a fine-mesh fly screen (e.g., made of polyester or nylon) precisely cut to fit the opening of a tilted skylight. If necessary, it can be extended to the maximum tilted position. Self-adhesive hook-and-loop fasteners are used for attachment to the inner frame of the window opening. The screen is then fixed along these fasteners, ensuring it completely covers the opening.

[0005] The design allows the window to still be tilted and closed without having to remove the grille. Full access to a sunshade roller blind, which is usually attached directly to the window pane, remains unaffected.

[0006] The grid can be removed and reattached at any time if needed. Advantages of the invention: • Easy retrofit without tools • Residue-free removal possible • No impairment of window functions • Low cost and high everyday usability • Universally adaptable to different window sizes Brief summary:

[0007] The invention describes a flexibly usable insect protection system for tilted roof windows, consisting of a cut-to-size fly screen and a Velcro fastening system, which can be easily installed and offers effective protection against insects while maintaining full window functionality.
