Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toggle latch device for tilt-and-turn windows and doors or the like, consisting of a toggle latch plate that sits in the lock-side lower frame corner on the upright frame member and has locking bars and from a lock member that is associated with the upright wing member at the lower corner at the lower end of a swivel bracket connected at its upper end via a bearing pin with a drive rod, the swivel bracket with its bearing pin penetrating a longitudinal slot in a faceplate serving to guide the drive rod and at least in the tilt opening switch position when engaging in a tilt lock pocket in the tilt lock plate
  • Locking member for the relative faceplate, drive rod and tilting lock plate can be released for a limited pivoting movement, and a bending rod spring with two legs spaced apart from one another and connected by a web on the one hand i n sits in a holder and on the other hand is clamped with its two legs on the swivel bracket at a distance from the axis of its journal.
  • a toggle latch device of this type is already known and is described, for example, in DE-AS 30 08 556. It can be used with one and the same design for use in all practically occurring tilt opening angles for sashes, thereby ensuring the rattle-free mounting of the tilted sash as well as ensuring the effective locking of the connecting rod fitting against incorrect switching when the sash is tilted and also as a safety catch for the tilted sash act in the area of the tilt lock.
  • the bending rod spring is arranged lying in front of the outer surface of the faceplate and anchored at one end at a distance above the swivel bracket on the drive rod, while its other end is clamped outside the axis of the shaft serving as a journal on the swivel bracket.
  • the bending rod spring therefore requires a free space in front of the outside of the faceplate and above the swivel bracket for its accommodation, which must be dimensioned considerably larger, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the faceplate, than the space which is required for the longitudinal displacement of the swivel bracket relative to the faceplate is.
  • a free space is required in front of the free longitudinal side of the faceplate that has a length that is in a ratio to the free space required when using the swivel bracket alone, which is approximately 1.6: 1 lies.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a generic toggle lock device in which not only is the installation space required for accommodating the flexible rod spring better used or reduced, but at the same time its pretensioning effect is improved.
  • the signs of wear that are possible during practical use between the functional parts that are movable relative to one another are also to be minimized.
  • the legs of the flexible rod spring can lie with the largest part of their cross section within the material thickness of the faceplate and only protrude beyond their outer surface to such a small extent that a permanently secure positive engagement with the longitudinal grooves in the rear of the swivel bracket is possible at all possible Switch position remains the same.
  • a further feature of the invention is seen in claim 2 in that the bending rod spring is fixed or immovable in the longitudinal slot of the faceplate and the swivel tab is provided with its longitudinal grooves slidably relative to the legs.
  • the rocker bar device according to claim 4 is also characterized in that the legs of the flexible rod spring run parallel to one another in the relaxed rest position.
  • the length region of the longitudinal edges provided with the bulges or extensions can extend approximately over the two lower thirds of the length of the longitudinal slot, the largest width of the longitudinal slot in the region of the bulges being in a ratio to the normal width of the longitudinal slot of about 1.25: 1.
  • the lugs delimiting the bulges or extensions are expediently located in the length range of the longitudinal slot in which the bearing pin of the swivel bracket in a toggle switch position of the drive rod is set.
  • the invention is further characterized according to claim 8, characterized in that the legs of the flexible rod spring have an upright rectangular cross section relative to the plane of the faceplate and made of wear-resistant material, e.g. spring hard steel.
  • a tilt lock device is also characterized in that a curved contoured protrusion protrudes into the lower end of the longitudinal slot of the faceplate.
  • a window is shown in dash-dotted lines, which has a wing 1 and a fixed frame 2, between which a tilt lock device 3 is installed.
  • This rocker bar device 3 has a rocker bar plate 4 on the fixed frame 2 and a swivel bracket 5 on the wing 1.
  • the swivel bracket 5 is slidably guided on the faceplate 6 of a so-called edge gear, on the back of which there is a drive rod 7.
  • a locking pin 8 is connected, which can be inserted in the closed position of the wing 1 between two webs 9 of the rocker plate 4 and thereby locks the wing 1 in its closed position on the fixed frame 2.
  • the swivel tab 5 is articulated to the drive rod 7 by means of the locking pin 8, namely by a shaft 10 carrying this.
  • the swivel bracket 5 carries a profile cam 11, which has a shape symmetrical to its longitudinal center plane, for example a square shape, and interacts with a pocket 12 on the rocker bar plate 4, which also has a symmetry to a longitudinal center plane and at least in its upper part downwards has a converging wedge shape.
  • the dimensions of the lower, narrow part 13 of the pocket 12 are matched to the outline shape of the profile cam 11 with little play, while the upper, wedge-shaped part 14 thereof is delimited by two lugs 15, which act as constrictions.
  • the profile cam 11 is inserted into the pocket 12 with the aid of the pivoting flap 5, as long as the wing 1 is still in the closed position on the fixed frame 2, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the wing 1 can then be brought into the tilted position, the swivel bracket 5 being brought from its parallel position shown in FIG. 1 to the faceplate 6 in a swiveled-out position which can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the profile cam 11 lifts slightly out of the lower part 13 of the pocket 12 and lies below the cam 15 against the flanks of the extension 14 of the pocket 12.
  • the upper transverse edge 16 of the profile cam 11 pivots under one of the lugs 15 and thereby prevents an unintentional or undesirable incorrect switching of the rocker bar device 3 via the drive rod 7.
  • the locking pin 8 and the swivel tab 5 with the drive rod 7 connecting shaft 10 passes through a longitudinal slot 17 in the face plate 6, such that it is displaceable between the two longitudinal edges 18 of the same over its entire length.
  • the bulges or extensions 18b and 18d are designed such that the longitudinal slot 17 has a width at its lowest point, which is about 1.25: 1 in relation to the width in the area of the parallel longitudinal sections 18a.
  • the bulges or extensions 18b of the longitudinal edges 18 initially close at their regions 18a in a straight line diverging at an acute angle, while then they converge from the deepest point with a relatively large radius to the apex of the nose 18c.
  • the bulges or extensions 18d again extend downward from the apex of the lugs 18c with an acute-angled diverging course, but the angle of inclination is considerably larger than in the region of the straight-line diverging sections of the bulges or extensions 18b.
  • a bending rod spring 19 is inserted into the longitudinal slot 17 of the faceplate 6 and has two legs 19b and 19c which are integrally connected to one another by a web 19a.
  • the bending rod spring 19 has a rectangular material cross section and is inserted into the longitudinal slot 17 so that this rectangular cross section is perpendicular to the plane of the faceplate 6 and protrudes by a small amount, for example by a maximum of 1 mm beyond the outer broad side of the faceplate 6. Their remaining cross-sectional height of at least 2 mm, however, is received in the longitudinal slot 17 over the material thickness of the faceplate 6.
  • the bending rod spring 19 in any case has such an arrangement within the longitudinal slot that its web 19a is supported at its upper end, while the free ends of its legs 19b and 19c face the lower end of the longitudinal slot 17 and in the immediate vicinity of the bump 18e come to rest.
  • the two legs 19b and 19c of the bending rod spring 19 receive their lateral support on the one hand at the mutually parallel sections 18a in the upper third of the longitudinal slot 17 and on the other hand again at a certain distance above their free ends by the lugs 18c.
  • both legs 19b and 19c of the bending rod spring 19 also form the side guide for the shaft 10 of the locking pin 8 which is used as a bearing pin for the pivoting lug and, because of their smooth surfaces and their great hardness, contribute to minimizing the signs of wear between the mutually movable ones Functional parts at.
  • the swivel bracket 5 interacts with the two legs 19b and 19c of the bending rod springs 19 via two longitudinal grooves 20a and 20b which are formed in the back and run parallel to one another and into which the legs 19b and 19c engage in a form-fitting manner.
  • the bearing pin or shaft 10 is displaced by means of the drive rod 7 along the faceplate 6, the swivel bracket 5 with its longitudinal grooves 20a and 20b is displaced along the legs 19b and 19c of the flexible rod spring 19.
  • the swivel bracket is in the fully pushed-up position the legs 19b and 19c of the bending rod spring 19 at least almost over the entire length of the swivel bracket 5 with its longitudinal grooves 20a and 20b in holding and guiding engagement.
  • the guide engagement between the legs 19b and 19c of the flexible rod spring 19 and the longitudinal grooves 20a and 20b of the swivel bracket 15 extends over more than half their length.
  • the legs 19b and 19c serve here as a parallel guide for the swivel bracket 5.
  • the two legs 19b and 19c of the bending rod spring 19 are only in that Bearing pin or shaft 10 adjacent length range of the swivel bracket 5 with its longitudinal grooves 20a and 20b in positive engagement.
  • the bulges or extensions 18b and 18d on the longitudinal edges 18 of the longitudinal slot 17 of the faceplate allow the bending deformations on the legs 19b and 19c of the bending rod spring 19 resulting from the angular displacement of the swivel bracket 5 relative to the faceplate 6 to the extent necessary and thereby permanently secure them proper function of the entire tilt lock device 3.
  • the swivel bracket 5 is still provided at its upper end with a notch 21, which has relative to the longitudinal grooves 20a and 20b in the rear of the swivel bracket 5 such an arrangement and design that they in the upper switching position of the Swivel bracket 5 easily the two Schen kel 19b and 19c integrally connecting web 19a of the leg spring 19 can accommodate.
  • a toggle latch device 3 for tilt-and-turn windows and doors or the like has the particular advantage that all the components required for the function can be produced from strength material, in particular steel, with relatively little effort, so that a high degree of functional reliability and wear resistance with the least possible Installation space is reached.
