  • the pivoting must be greater than an angle theta as illustrated in relation to Figure 6b which is the angle or number of degrees within which the beads B9 will engage with the openings C2. It has been determined in a preferred embodiment that this angle is approximately 9° and thus in this embodiment if the window is pivoted for an angle of greater than 9° it will lock. In the past, windows have pivoted up to 26° without being locked and this has created problems for window hardware manufacturers in that the pivot pins may dislodge from the corresponding cam slots. By minimizing the amount of degrees of freedom for the pivoting of the window, the window is held in locked position for a greater amount of time with greater security.

  • the bracing portion or block B prevent any movement of the pivot portion upon which the sash 30 is pivoting and thus prevents the dislodging of the pivot pin or the sagging of the window to any substantial extent. This is important so that the portion of the window proximate the arcuate portion A1 will not ride on the weather stripping disposed on the bottom portion of the sash 30. It has been found in the past that with other pivoting windows after a certain amount of time the weather stripping at the end remote the pivot begins to take a lot of abuse and the window begins to ride upon it.
  • FIG. 7b the aspect described above is clearly illustrated, wherein the portion of the sash 30 being supported upon a pivot pin Hd1 and upon a block Bd riding upon a roller Rd within a channel attached to the sill framing portion 27 wherein members 27i and 27ii describe a channel within which the block Bd rides.
