  • the present invention relates to a fitting of lock 1 visible in Figure 2 which, among other things, keeps it in a partially open position 2 3 corresponding, as shown in FIG. 1, to a window, French window, door or the like 4.
  • FIG. 1 a window whose opening 3 is pivotally mounted, about an axis of vertical rotation 5, on a frame 6.
  • the present invention is not limited to such an opening mode which, when the opening 3 pivots towards the inside of housing is usually defined as an opening to the French.
  • the locking fitting 1 is also applicable to sashes mounted to pivot around a horizontal axis of rotation on the frame, of the type opening to the Italian.
  • this locking fitting 1 includes a locking mechanism 7 of the lever type, one of which embodiment is illustrated in Figure 2. More specifically, this locking mechanism 7 comprises at least an operating rod 8, 8A; 9, 9A extending at least in rebate part 10 of the opening 3. The displacement of these operating rods 8, 8A; 9, 9A is obtained by through a drive mechanism 11 actuated by a control element 12 of the handle, button, barrel type; key, etc ...
  • this element of command 12 can be mounted on the front upright 13 of the sash 3 so as to cooperate with one or more rods of maneuver 8, 9 extending in rebate, upwards or downwards down along this amount before 13 so as to intervene, by example, on one or more locking members 14, roller type or the like capable of cooperating with strikes 15 arranged in concordance on the frame 6.
  • the drive mechanism 11 operates on several rods maneuver 8, 9, these can move, simultaneously, in the same direction or in directions opposite.
  • this or these rods of operation 8; 9 can transmit their movement, through of an appropriate angle gear 18, 19, to rod sections operating 8A; 9A, extending along the sleepers upper 20 and lower 21.
  • this locking fitting 1 comprises a device 1A for keeping the opening leaf 3 ajar by relative to the frame 6.
  • a device 1A is intended to cooperate with one of said operating rods, 8, 8A; 9, 9A.
  • this device 1A is intended to cooperate with one operating rods 8A; 9A extending along the upper cross 20 and lower 21 of the opening 3.
  • the locking fitting 1 comprises two devices 1A cooperating with each of the operating rods 8A; 9A being, precisely, at level of these upper 20 and lower 21 sleepers of opening 3.
  • the present invention is not by no means limited to such a design and it could perfectly be considered an implantation of a device 1A at the level of the amount before 13 of this opening 3 in cooperation with the upright before 22 of the frame 6, if it was a opening swivel or Italian for example.
  • this device 1A can keep the same configuration, including for a right or left use on a window opening at the French in general for any type of opening not sliding.
  • this device 1A comprises, according to the invention and such that shown in Figures 3 to 10, a support 23 mounted fixed on the frame 6, in this case rebate on the cross upper 24 of the latter.
  • a support 23 mounted fixed on the frame 6, in this case rebate on the cross upper 24 of the latter.
  • On this fixed support 23 is mounted articulated one 25 of the ends of a compass arm 26 of which the opposite end 27 is provided with hooking means 28 which, as shown in the different figures 4, 7, 8 and 10 can take the form of a circular stud 29, of cross section T-shaped axial.
  • hooking means 28 which, as shown in the different figures 4, 7, 8 and 10 can take the form of a circular stud 29, of cross section T-shaped axial.
  • other shapes may be considered in accordance with the function that these attachment means must perform 28.
  • these must be able to slide inside a keeper 30 associated with a support 31 mounted integral in displacement of an operating rod, in this case, 8A, placed on the opening 3.
  • the keeper 30 has a T-shaped groove 30
  • this 1A device can advantageously serve as a limiter of the opening angle of the opening 3 with respect to the frame 6.
  • this device 1A is closer this device 1A is to the pivot axis 5 of the opening 3 and more the length of the arm is increased compass 26, the more this opening 3 can pivot at an angle of significant rotation with respect to the frame 6.
  • the locking fitting 1 can be equipped with two 1A devices, one of which intervenes, actually, as a means of maintaining opening it in a slightly ajar position, while the other, placed closer to the pivot axis of the sash 3, limits the rotation of the latter when the first of these 1A devices is released.
  • Figures 4 and 5 illustrate, on the one hand, in perspective and in exploded, and, on the other hand, in the form of a representation in elevation the arrangement made by the different elements composing the device 1A, precisely when the opening 3 is brought into such a ajar position.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 also illustrate a method of realization of the means 32 allowing the connection of the support 31 at the end of an operating rod 8A, knowing that about, that this support 31 can also come to be inserted in a longer 8A operating rod. In these conditions, it is equipped with connection means 32, 32A to each of its ends 33, 34.
  • the attachment means 28 equipping the end 27 of the compass arm 26 are able to disengage of said keeper 30 following a displacement as a result communicated to support 31 by the operating rod 8A to which it is connected.
  • this keeper 30 comprises, at one of its ends 35, an opening 36 authorizing the engagement and release to through the latter, the stud 29 constituting the means hooking 28 in the T-groove 30A.
  • the locking mechanism 7, fitted to the window or analog 4 should be designed so that it is possible, a times the opening 3 unlocked, to give element 12, therefore at the operating rod 8A, at least two positions, one of which activates device 1A to authorize only a half-open of this opening 3 and the other of which generates free rotation or a larger amplitude rotation of this opening 3 by compared to frame 6, this, for example, to allow cleaning the exterior glass surface of a window.
  • control element 12 In one of these positions conferred on control element 12, it must result in the release of attachment means 28 relative to the keeper 30 and, in the other position, the engagement of these attachment means 28 in said strike 30.
  • the locking fitting 1 has two 1A devices, one of which is located closer than the other of the pivot axis 5 of the opening 3, it can be expected that during a first rotation of the handle 12, we simply obtain the unlocking allowing the first of these 1A devices to play its role of maintain the opening 3 in a partially open position.
  • the hooking means 28 corresponding to this first device 1A are able to stand release from the striker 30, making, finally, this first device 1A inactive.
  • the second device 1A placed closer to the pivot axis 5 of the leaf 3 can, him, stay active.
  • the opening 3 is able to open in large, while its rotation relative to the frame 6 remains limited.
  • the device 1 can receive, at the height of the support fixed 23, for example, retaining means 37, shown in the form of an elastic clamp in the attached drawings, even to hold the compass arm 26 in a position parallel to this fixed support 23 during an opening command complete opening 3.
  • retaining means 37 shown in the form of an elastic clamp in the attached drawings, even to hold the compass arm 26 in a position parallel to this fixed support 23 during an opening command complete opening 3.
  • these means of restraint 37 avoid, when the device 1A is deactivated, that the arm of compass 26 does not pivot freely in the direction of the leaf 3 and, if necessary, opposes the closure of the latter.
  • Said retaining means 37 in the form of an elastic clamp, are shown in detail in Figure 10. So, they can be either fixed on the fixed support 23 or reported with the latter on the frame 6.
  • the device 1 retains the same configuration, that it is located at level of upper crosspieces 20, 24, respectively, of the opening 3 and the frame 6 or at the level of their crosspiece lower.
  • this device 1 it is also visible that it suffices to turn this device 1 in one direction or in the other depending on whether the operating rod or rods 8, 8A; 9, 9A are moving in one direction or another or that the window opens to the left or to the right.
