Abstract
A window for installation in an inclined roof has a main frame and a bottom-hinged lower window frame which opens outwards to a substantially vertical position to form a breast wall. Each of two handrails forms the upper edge of a side railing between the lower window frame and a side portion of the main frame when the window is in the open balcony position. Each handrail has a length which is sufficient to form the upper side edge of the side railing when the window is installed at the lowest roof inclination within a specified angular range and can be cut to adapt its length to the actual roof inclination after the handrail is connected to the lower window frame and the associated side portion of the main frame. Vertical rail bars in each side railing are connected to the associated handrail by pivotal joints that are longitudinally displaceable in relation to the handrail and can be fastened in arbitrary positions along the handrail.
