Definitions

  • the invention relates to a limit stop for the opening width of the sashes of windows, doors or the like, which cooperate with the window frame via an opening device, in particular of tilt-and-turn sashes, with one opening arm only pivoting, e.g. is mounted on the frame, while with its other end it swivellably engages in an elongated hole of a sliding guide, for example on the wing, via a sliding pin, one end of the elongated hole also forming a stop for the sliding pin, which limits the maximum opening width of the wing, and wherein the sliding guide can be assigned a stop piece to shorten the effective length of the elongated hole.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a limit stop of the type explained in more detail above, which can be used at any time, that is to say later, even without major assembly work, and which, if necessary, can also be removed again without substantial assembly work.
  • the stop piece is designed as a flat material strip which can be plugged onto the outer surface of the sliding guide and which engages with at least two protrusions protruding from its underside in a manner secure against rotation and displacement in recesses in the sliding guide and at least with one transverse edge protrudes into the area of the elongated hole as a stop.
  • An advantage of this configuration is that the installation and removal of the stop piece is effected practically without the aid of any tools and can therefore also be carried out easily by the layperson, and that only a small, readily available installation space is required.
  • one projection of the flat material strip engages directly in the elongated hole of the slide guide, while the other projection can be inserted into a recess which is adapted to its cross section and is located at a distance from the elongated hole in the slide guide. While the protrusion engaging in the elongated hole merely acts as an anti-twist device for the flat material strip, both twisting and displacement of the flat material strip are prevented by the second protrusion.
  • the one projection of the flat material strip is formed by an angled tongue which directly adjoins the transverse edge serving as a stop, while the other projection consists of a pin which is in a hole the sliding guide can be engaged.
  • the flat material strip protrudes from the outer surface of the sliding guide in the space between its two projections in a roof-like or bow-like manner and forms an elastic support for the deployment arm of the deployment device.
  • the elastic support on the extension arm creates a pretension which constantly secures the engagement position of the projections of the flat material strip relative to the sliding guide.
  • the slide guide according to the invention contains, according to claim 5, a plurality of spaced-apart recesses or holes into which the flat material strip with its second projection or pin can be selected is indentable.
  • a particularly expedient design measure for a limit stop according to the invention is achieved according to claim 6 in that a fork-shaped slotted spring plate is arranged below the flat material strip, the fork legs of which protrude beyond the transverse edge of the flat material strip forming the stop, the free ends of these fork legs on their mutually facing inner edges wear snap-in cams provided with chamfers, the distance between which is smaller than the diameter of the slide pin on the extension arm.
  • the spring plate can cooperate with the slide pin of the extension arm as a locking device, which forms an additional safety device for the wing in the open position which is limited by the stop piece.
  • this known locking device is designed so that the hind end of its fork slot is in any case coincident with the hind end of the slot of the sliding guide.
  • This locking device can therefore not form a fixed limit stop for shortening the effective length of the elongated hole in the sliding guide.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment for a limit stop according to the invention results when both projections consist of matching pins which have different distances from the adjacent transverse edges of the flat material strip or stop piece and if the stop piece is optionally either with one projection or with the other projection can be inserted into the slot or with the other projection or one projection into the recess of the sliding guide.
  • a limit stop designed in accordance with the invention is intended in particular for use in connection with opening devices for tilt and turn sashes of windows, doors or the like, it can be used wherever necessary where opening devices or the like on windows and doors effect the opening limitation.
  • Fig. 1 of the drawing shows, as an application example of the invention, a tilt and turn window with a window frame 1.
  • a sash 2 is held on the one hand by an undetectable corner bearing 3 and on the other hand by an likewise undetectable pivot bearing 4 about a lower, horizontal axis.
  • the wing 2 can also be opened relative to the frame 1 about a lateral, vertical axis in the rotational position.
  • the tilt opening position of the wing 2 is limited by an opening device 6, which is held in the pivot bearing 5 on the frame 2 and can be coupled to the wing 2 to open the latter.
  • a connecting rod fitting 7 is installed in the wing 2, the actuating linkage of which is coupled by an actuating handle 8 via a coupling Actuator 9 can be moved.
  • the actuating linkage carries a bolt 10 near the pivot bearing 5 at the top, through which the opening device 6 can be coupled with the wing 2 in the closed position and for rotating opening, while decoupling from this for the tilt opening, as shown in FIG. 1 can be.
  • the opening device 6 is formed by an opening arm 6a and an additional arm 6b, which act between the frame 1 and the wing 2 in the manner of a so-called elliptical link.
  • the additional arm 6b is articulated on the one hand on the wing 2 and on the other hand on the deployment arm 6a only pivotably.
  • the end of the extension arm 6a facing away from the pivot bearing 5 on the frame 1 cooperates with a sliding guide 11 which is installed on the upper, horizontal wing leg and is shown in particular in FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • the sliding guide 11 generally consists of a so-called faceplate, which is attached to the wing 2 and on its underside holds a drive rod 12 of the actuating linkage 7, with the help of which, among other things. the latch 10 is also adjustable.
  • the faceplate or slide guide 11 is equipped with an elongated hole 13, in which a sliding pin 14 engages in a pivotally displaceable manner and is fastened to the front end of the extension arm 6a.
  • the rear end of the elongated hole 13 forms a limit stop 15 for the sliding pin 14 of the extension arm 6a, by means of which the greatest possible tilt opening width for the wing 2 relative to the frame 1 is determined.
  • the tilt opening width of the wing 2 is usually between 130 mm and 150 mm compared to the frame 1. Such a tilt opening width is achieved when the slide pin 14 of the extension arm 6a slides within the elongated hole 13 up to its rear end and comes to rest there against the stop 15, as is indicated in FIG. 2 by dash-dotted lines.
  • an additional limit stop 16 is provided, as is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.
  • This limit stop 16 has a stop piece 17 which is made of a flat material strip, in particular spring steel.
  • the stop piece 17 formed by the spring steel flat material strip is, as is clearly shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, simply plugged onto the outer surface of the faceplate or sliding guide 11, whereby it is secured against rotation as well as being secured against displacement by at least two projections 18 and 19 projecting from its underside is fixed to the faceplate or sliding guide 11.
  • the projection 18 formed by an angled tongue of the spring steel flat material strip engages almost without lateral play in the elongated hole 13 of the faceplate or slide guide 11, while the other projection 19 is a pin connected to the stop piece 17, which in a its cross section adapted hole 20 of the faceplate or sliding guide 11 is engaged, which lies at a distance behind the elongated hole 13.
  • the angled tab forming the projection 18 or the transverse edge 21 of the stop piece 17 covering its outer surface comes to lie within the elongated hole 13 at a distance from the stop 15 thereof and thus shortens the free length of the elongated hole 13 in the faceplate or the Sliding guide 11.
  • the sliding pin 14 of the extension arm 6a can only move within the elongated hole 13 up to the projection 18 or the transverse edge 21 and accordingly also reduces the tilt opening width for the wing 2 relative to the frame 1.
  • the spring steel strip material strip forming the stop piece 17 in the spacing area between its two projections 18 and 19 protrudes like a roof or bow from the outer surface of the faceplate or sliding guide 11, as can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the height of the roof or bracket is dimensioned such that the stop piece 17 constantly receives an elastic support on the underside of the extension arm 6a and is consequently biased against the faceplate or sliding guide 11 in such a way that its projections 18 and 19 remain permanently in their engaged position.
  • a fork-shaped slotted spring plate 22 is additionally arranged below the actual stop piece 17 and is completely flat over its entire length.
  • This Spring plate 22 is on the one hand firmly riveted to the stop piece 17 via the projection 19 designed as a pin and on the other hand has two fork legs 23a and 23b which project beyond the transverse edge 21 of the stop piece 17 forming the stop.
  • the tongue of the stop piece 17 forming the projection 18 engages in the fork slot 23c delimited by the two fork legs 23a and 23b, as can be clearly seen from FIG. 5.
  • the free ends of the two fork legs 23a and 23b each have a locking cam 24a or 24b on their mutually facing inner edges, which in each case adjoins an inlet slope 25a or 25b.
  • the locking cams 24a and 24b are at a minimum distance from one another which is smaller than the diameter of the sliding pin 14.
  • the sliding pin 14 of the extension arm 6a meets the inlet bevels 25a and 25b of the spring plate 22 during its movement in the elongated hole 13 before it has reached the transverse edge 21 or the projection 18 of the stop piece 17.
  • the fork legs 23a and 23b are pressed apart resiliently until the sliding pin 14 has passed over the two locking cams 24a and 24b.
  • the fork legs 23a and 23b snap with their locking cams 24a and 24b behind the sliding pin 14 and fix it against the transverse edge 21 or the projection 18. An unwanted slamming of the wing 2 against the frame 1 can be prevented.
  • the locking cams 24a and 24b of the spring plate 22 are designed so that a stronger, manual pressure in the closing direction against the wing 2 causes the fork legs 23a and 23b to spread and thus overcomes the additional lock for the wing 2.
  • the extension arm 6a with its sliding pin 14 has the same configuration as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • the sliding guide 11 designed as a faceplate, has an elongated hole 13 a training corresponding to FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • the faceplate serving as sliding guide 11 has a plurality of holes 20 spaced one behind the other, only one round hole 20 is provided in the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 7 at a distance behind the stop end 15 of the elongated hole 13.
  • stop piece 17 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 7 differs from the stop piece 17 according to FIGS. 2 to 4 essentially in that not only the projection 19 but also the projection 18 a pin attached to its underside and that the cross-sectional shape of both pins 18 and 19 is adapted to the outline shape of the hole 20.
  • the center distance 26a of the projection or pin 18 from the adjacent transverse edge 21a of the stop piece 17 is dimensioned smaller than the axis distance 26b of the projection or pin 19 from the adjacent transverse edge 21 of the stop piece 17.
  • the stop piece 17 according to FIGS. 6 and 7 can be inserted on the one hand with the projection or pin 19 into the hole 20 of the slide guide 11, while the other projection or pin 18 is then inserted into the slot 11, as shown in FIG. 6 reveals.
  • the transverse edge 21a of the stop piece 17 then acts as a limit stop for the sliding pin 14 of the extension arm 6a and thereby shortens the free length of the elongated hole 13 to a first intermediate dimension.
  • stop piece 17 according to FIGS. 6 and 7 in conjunction with a faceplate or slide guide 11 which contains a plurality of holes 20 which are spaced one behind the other. With the help of each of these holes 20, two different, further effective lengths of the elongated hole 13 can in turn be limited.
