Description

The invention relates to a window for installation in a window recess in a vehicle wall of any type of vehicle, in particular a motor home, a caravan or a watercraft. According to the invention, the window can also be provided for installation in a container wall of a container, in particular a residential, office or sanitary container. Whenever a vehicle is mentioned below, this should also apply to a container.

For this purpose, the window has a frame which can be fixedly arranged in a vehicle or container wall and which comprises at least two lateral frame parts, as well as a window pane which is arranged on the frame such that it can be pivoted open. A locking mechanism is also provided for locking the window pane in the frame.

From the DE 197 25 677 A1 a vehicle window is known in which the locking mechanism has two locking elements and a common handle. The handle is pivotably mounted in an axis running parallel to the vehicle window.

From the DE 299 03 324 U1 a vehicle window is known in which two locking devices which can be actuated separately from one another are provided, with which the window pane is pressed against the frame in the closed state.

The present invention is based on the object of providing a vehicle or container window of the type mentioned at the beginning, which can be opened and closed in a simple manner. In particular, it should be possible to operate the window safely with just one hand.

This object is achieved by a vehicle or container window with the features of claim 1. According to the invention, the locking mechanism provides an actuating handle that can be displaced between a locking position and an open position about a pivot axis running perpendicular to the plane of the window pane. The operating handle or the pivot axis is preferably provided centrally in the frame. The locking mechanism also has two locking elements that are coupled in movement to the actuating handle and interact with the side frame parts. The arrangement is such that when the operating handle is shifted into the locking position, the locking elements are locked on the side frame parts and that when the operating handle is shifted into the open position, the locking elements release the side frame parts for opening the window at least in sections. The side frame parts can provide closing sections specially provided for this purpose in order to interact with the locking elements. In the context of the invention, a vehicle or container wall is also understood to mean the ceiling or the roof of a vehicle or container.

Such an arrangement ensures a simple yet functionally reliable locking of the window pane in the frame. Because the actuating handle can be actuated about a pivot axis running perpendicular to the window pane, actuation can be carried out in particular ergonomically and with only one hand. Because the locking takes place on the side frame parts, the locking mechanism can be built comparatively small overall and with comparatively few components.

It is also advantageous if a pinion connected to the actuating handle in a rotationally fixed manner is provided, and if two actuating members are provided with rack sections which run parallel to one another and mesh with the pinion. The actuating members are then each coupled in terms of movement to a locking element in such a way that when the pinion is rotated, the rack sections are moved in opposite directions. If the actuating handle is pivoted into the locking position, the locking elements are shifted away from one another towards the side frame parts and locked there. If the actuating handle is pivoted into the open position, the locking elements are moved towards one another, as a result of which the frame parts are released. As a result of the arrangement described, a pivoting movement of the operating handle is converted into a linear movement of the locking elements.

In order to bridge the distance between the actuating members and the lateral frame parts, it is advantageous if connecting rods are provided between the respective actuating member and the associated locking element.

In order to ensure a functionally reliable movement of the connecting rods, it is also advantageous if guide elements on the window pane side are provided for guiding the connecting rods. The guide elements can in particular be attached to an edging profile on the window pane side.

The connecting rods can in particular have threaded sections at their free ends, in which case then on the actuating members and / or on the locking elements Threaded receptacles are provided into which the respective free end of the respective connecting rod can be screwed. The arrangement is preferably such that the distance between the actuating members and the locking elements can be set and adjusted by rotating the connecting rod about its longitudinal axis. As a result, the connecting elements can be shifted towards or away from the respective actuating element in a simple manner in order to ensure that the window is locked and unlocked in a functionally reliable manner.

It has also been found to be advantageous to provide a housing for receiving the pinion and for guiding the actuating elements, the housing preferably being fastened to an edging profile on the window pane side. By providing the housing, in particular the actuating handle with the pinion and the actuating members can consequently be securely fastened to the window pane. For fastening on the window pane side, an edging profile can in particular be provided on the window pane side. The edging profile can, for example, enclose one or two panes arranged parallel to one another.

The edging profile preferably has a fastening groove, the housing then having a fastening section for insertion into the fastening groove. The edging profile can in particular be provided on a lower edging profile on which the actuating handle is ultimately provided. The fastening section of the housing is preferably designed to be complementary to the contour of the fastening groove on the edging profile, so that it is possible to insert the edging profile securely into the fastening groove.

It is also advantageous if the already mentioned guide elements for guiding the connecting rods are also fastened to the window pane by means of the fastening groove. The guide elements can provide a fastening section for insertion into the fastening groove.

It has also been found to be advantageous if a locking section is provided on the actuating handle, which in the locking position interacts with a frame-side closing section and which releases the closing section in the open position. In this respect, an additional locking of the window pane on the frame can be achieved not only by means of the locking elements that interact with the side frame parts, but also directly with the operating handle, which interacts in particular with a lower frame part.

The locking elements and / or the locking section are advantageously designed like a groove with at least two groove legs each, and the lateral frame parts and / or the closing section preferably have web sections for interacting with the groove legs. The window pane can be securely locked in the frame by providing the groove legs and the web sections interacting therewith.

It is advantageous here if the groove legs and / or the web sections are designed in such a way that they come to rest in the locking position under prestress between two web sections and / or two groove limbs. This enables the window pane to rest securely on the frame under a defined pretension, which enables the window pane to be reliably sealed on the frame.

It is also advantageous if the groove legs and the web sections are designed in such a way that the window pane can be locked on the frame in a slightly open ventilation position. In this respect, the window can still be locked in the ventilation position. Ventilation can take place without the window being able to be opened.

Further details and advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the following description, on the basis of which an exemplary embodiment of the invention is described and explained in more detail.
