Definitions

  • This invention relates to a securing or locking system for hinged or pivoted panels such as windows.
  • window should be read as including other hinged or pivoted panels for example doors, where the context permits.
  • metal or timber solid windows have been secured by a single face-mounted catch with a pivoted striker engaging behind, or within, a fixed, frame- mounted keeper.
  • Such a single-point system tends to be insecure because it is possible to force or burst open the single fixing, even without breaking the window.
  • a multiple-point engagement is desirable for a window fixing.partly for security reasons and partly because each engagement point can be used to draw the window stile into closer engagement with the window frame and hence reduce draughts.
  • a securing system comprising a manually rotatable operating member adapted to be secured externally of a window stile and mechanism adapted to be mounted internally of the window stile and comprising a pinion keyed for rotation with said rotatable operating member, a rack constrained for rectilinear sliding movement in response to rotation of said pinion, a drive element moving in unison with the rack and extending perpendicular to the direction of movement of the rack, the drive element acting directly or indirectly on at least two remotely disposed locking elements.
  • the locking elements are provided on a two part espagnolette, comprising a fixed part adapted to be secured to an edge of the window stile and a slidable part associated with the fixed part and carrying said locking elements, the slidable part being driven for rectilinear sliding movement by said drive element.
  • the slidable part may have a pair of abutments, between which the drive element projects to transmit movement to the slidable part from the drive element.
  • the locking elements may comprise two or more rollers mounted to the slidable part and projecting through working slots in the fixed part of the espagnolette for engagement with keepers on a window frame.
  • the locking elements may comprise two or more keepers mounted to the slidable part, for engagement with rollers mounted on a window frame.
  • Each keeper may have a pair of limbs, the roller lodging behind a first limb in a fully locked condition and behind the second limb in a ventilated locked condition of the window.
  • each limb may have a reversed taper to provide an over dead centre retained position for the roller.
  • the keeper may have two pairs of limbs, provided at opposite ends, so as to be capable of use with either direction of locking movement.
  • the keeper and roller may have cooperating shapes to prevent disengagement in a direction parallel to the roller axis.
  • the roller and keeper may have cooperating tapers or a flange on the roller may engage in undercut slots of the keeper.
  • keepers are provided on a fixed window frame, they may be resiliently mounted.
  • the fixed part of the espagnolette may be provided with a pair of slotted mounting members, and the mounting of the manually rotatable operating member to the stile may be via fasteners engaging respectively in the slots of said mounting members.
  • the connectors may each comprise a length of flexible material constrained within a corner member and provided at each end with securing means for securing the connector to an adjacent sliding espagnolette part.
  • the connectors may be moulded toothed sockets adapted to receive corresponding toothed extensions of the sliding parts.
  • the drive element is keyed ;.o a further rack to transmit rectilinear sliding movement thereto.
  • the further rack may be one of a pair of racks drivingly connected in opposite senses to a pinion.
  • the further rack or racks may form or be operatively connected to one or more locking elements which may comprise pins engageable with respective window frame elements perpendicular to the stile to which the system is attached.
  • the pinion may be associated with a pivoted catch engageable with a window frame element adjacent and parallel to the stile to which the system is attached.
  • the further rack or racks may be connected by flexible connections to one or more respective further espagnolette sliding parts disposed on frame members adjacent to the stile to which the system is attached.
  • a securing or locking system of the espagnolette type is generally indicated at 10. It comprises a two-part espagnolette having an outer fixed channel shaped part 11 and an inner slidable part 12 guided for rectilinear sliding movement within the channel shaped fixed part 11. The two parts are mounted to an external edge of the stile of a window.
  • the sliding part 12 carries, in generally known manner, a pair (or for large sizes, three or more) rol- lets 13, having central studs 14 rinsed to the slidable part 12, trapping tubular sleeves 15 which are free to rotate.
  • the rollers are engageable with keepers 16 on a window frame, these keepers being described.with reference to Figures 4, 5, 5a and 5b.
  • the espagnolette 10 is operated by a manually rotatable handle 17, fixed for rotation to a square-section stem 18, which carries a pinion 19. These are shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the pinion 19 engages a rack 20, constrained for rectilinear sliding movement within a housing 21.
  • the housing is secured to the window stile (not shown) by fasteners such as screws, which pass into slotted mounting members 22, fixed to the fixed part 11 of the espagnolette and passing through slots 23 in the slidable part 12.
  • the fasteners can be secured at any point along the slots of the the slotted mounting members, which permits the system to be used for a range of window stile widths, including very narrow widths.
  • Rotation of the handle 17 rotates the pinion 19 and slides the rack 20 in the housing 21.
  • An extension of the rack 20 forms a drive element 24 which projects into the espagnolette mechanism, being located between a pair of abutments 25 notedd to the slidable part 12.
  • the slidable part 12 slides relative to the fixed part 11 and moves the rollers 13 into and out of engagement with the keepers on the window frame.
  • the extension can be formed integrally with the rack 20 or fixed for movement in unison with the rack.
  • the espagnolette can be positioned relatively close to or far from the face of the window stile to which the handle 17 is fixed.
  • the assembly can be used with thick window stiles, for example where noise-reducing wide-space double glazing is used; or with thin stiles. If necessary, the end of the drive element 24 can be cropped off before fitment in very thin stiles, making a very slimline mechanism.
  • the system can therefore ac- comodate a range of thicknesses and widths of window stile, because of the way in which the handle and espagnolette are assembled to the-frame using the slotted mounting members 22 and because of the connection of the drive element 24 and abutments 25 just described.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show a keeper 16. This is secured to a window frame (not shown) by screws or other fasteners in countersunk, slightly elongate holes 26 in a base 27.
  • the ends of the keeper 16 provide U-shaped walls 28, 29, defining fully closed and partly closed locked positions of the window.
  • the keeper can be resiliently mounted on the window frame if desired, to reduce the risk of damage if the window is slammed shut.
  • the wall 28 further from the entrance 29 lof the keeper provides a location behind which the roller shown in dotted lines at 30 is in a fully closed, locked condition.
  • a reversed taper 9 is provided to retain the roller by an over dead centre movement during which the window is pulled tightly against the frame and then, when the roller slips past the high point of the reversed taper, the pressure on the window is slackened off slightly. The roller cannot then be released without deliberate effort.
  • the roller 15 is positioned in the location 31, behind the wall 32 closer to the entrance 29.
  • a ramp is provided in the base 27 at the entrance 29.
  • the walls all have tapered edges, to provide a smooth lead-in for the roller 15 as it engages the keeper 16.
  • the keepers can be disposed on the gspagno- lette with corresponding rollers secured to thetwindow frame.
  • This feature may be used in particular with centre pivot windows so as to allow the window to pivot freely through the frame.
  • the keeper is provided on the movable part of the espagnolette, only a single ended keeper would be used, consisting essentially of one half of the keeper shown in Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings.
  • Figures 5a and 5b of the drawings show modified roller and keeper arrangements which are designed to prevent the roller being forced axially out of the keeper in an attempt to force open the window.
  • the keeper 16a has inwardly tapered walls which cooperate with a tapered roller 15a, having a taper of about 5°. Since the roller 15a enters the keeper 10a at the entrance 29 and moves along betweeen the side walls, it can engage just as before but it cannot be disengaged by forcing it in a direction parallel to the axis of the roller.
  • the walls of the keeper 16b are undercut to receive a projected flange of the roller 15b, which acts in a similar manner.
  • a window fitted with the above-described espagnolette can be secured at two or more points (depending on the number of rollers 13), spaced along one side of the window frame. Greater security is obtainable if the system is extended to all four sides of the window frame, as shown in Figures 6 to 8.
  • espagnolettes 33, 34 and 35 are provided on the remaining window'stiles. These are identical in construction to the espagnolette 10, except that they are remotely operated by connection to the single handle mechanism 17. Each of the slidable parts 12 of the espagnolettes is connected by a flexible connector to the next adjacent slidable part in a complete loop around the window. Movement of the slidable part 12 of the espagnolette 10 is transmitted to the remaining sliding parts in a push-and-pull mode.
  • each slidable parts 12 of each espagnolette are modified at each end by being provided with toothed edges as shown at 36 in Figure 7. These toothed edges mate with corresponding internal teeth 37 in, female connectors 38, formed integrally at each end of a flexible plastics strip 39 shown in Figure 8.
  • a cover flap prevents disengagement.
  • the strip 39 extends around the corner of the window and operatively connects the adjacent espagnolettes. The strip is constrained within a channel-section corner cover 40 and is protected from excessive wear and tear at the corner itself by a roller 41 or other means.
  • the flexible connectors are provided in a standard length, but variations in window and espagnolette size can be accomodated by varying the position of the male and female connection 36, 37.
  • a push and pull mode of force transmission cannot be used to lock espagnolettes on only three of four sides of a window, without some means of transmitting force around the fourth side.
  • a different drive-transmitting arrangement shown in Figures 9 to 11, is used.
  • the drive element 24 is received in a slot 42 in a drive-splitting rack and pinion arrangement comprising a pair of racks 43, 44 and a central pinion 45.
  • the two racks 43, 44 move in opposite directions in response to rotation of the pinion 45.
  • the pinion 45 transmits drive in the reverse sense to the other rack.
  • Each rack has an extension rod 46, screwed into its end.
  • the extensions terminate in bolts which engage in suitable holes or sockets in the upper and lower window frame members.
  • the mechanism can provide three-point locking if a pivoted catch 47 is mounted for rotation with the pinion.
  • extension rods 46 can be provided with end attachments to attach to flexible connectors of the general type previously described with reference to Figures 6 to 8, to operate a pair of adjacent espagnolettes.
  • the flexible connectors can exert a pushing force, provided that they are suitably constrained within corner members 40.
  • the system described is versatile in that it can give various degrees of security with the use of standard components of the system in different combinations.
  • it can be fitted to window stiles of differing width because neither the securing fasteners for the espagnolette and handle, nor the drive engagement between the drive element 24 and the abutments 25 involves fixed engagement positions.
  • the parts can meet at a continuum of positions within a range determined by the sizes of the components as previously described.
  • the mechanism itself is very compact and is particularly useful in slimline hollow stile windows.
