Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a window, in particular for installation in a facade, having a window sash, which is openable relative to a frame, and which in a closed position is secured to the frame by locking means on the sash being in engagement with lock fittings on the frame, in which the sash, from the closed position after release of the locking means from the lock fittings by means of an operating device positioned at at least one frame member, can be moved to an open position by at least one window operator positioned at a frame member.
  • the sash of windows of this type is in the open position secured to the frame on one hand by the operating member of the window operator and on the other hand by the hinge connection of the window, or, in case of windows opening in parallel, the guide mechanisms of the sash.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a window of the type mentioned by way of introduction, in which window the risk of damage to the window parts and of the sash coming loose from the frame in an open position of the window has been substantially reduced.
  • a window which is characterized in that the operating device for moving the sash from the closed position to a ventilating position comprises a motor connected with a driving member for moving a locking rod which is longitudinally displaceable in a sash member, said locking rod being also in engagement with a relative to the longitudinal direction of the frame member inclined section of a track in the lock fitting in the frame, such that the sash by longitudinal displacement of the locking rod is moved away from the frame, the sash being, until the ventilating position has been reached, secured to the frame by the engagement between the locking rod and the track of the lock fitting, and that said track is designed with an open section extending in the transverse direction of the frame member, to which section the locking rod is moved by further longitudinal displacement of the locking rod, following which the window operator is activated and moves the sash from the ventilating position to an open position.
  • the engagement between the locking rod and the operating device and lock fittings of the frame may preferably be established by providing the locking rod with a first and a second pin which during at least a part of the opening and closing movements are guided in the tracks of these members .
  • the window operator is connected with the sash member by means of a plate member which is displaceable in the transverse direction of the sash member and having a track uniform with the first section of the track in the lock fitting of the frame member, and the locking rod is provided with a third pin for engagement with said track.
  • the window operator may remain inactive during the first part of the opening movement, the operating member not having to move outwards together with the sash.
  • Fig. 1 shows a window according to the invention in a closed starting position
  • Fig. 2 the window in a ventilating position
  • Fig. 3 the window in an intermediate position, in which it is released from the lock fitting
  • Fig. 4 the window in an open position controlled by the window operator.
  • the drawings show for instance the top member 1 of a frame and the top member 2 of a relative to the frame openable window sash of a window adapted to be mounted in a facade.
  • the window sash is connected with the frame by guide mechanisms known per se, which during the opening and closing movement of the sash keep the sash in parallel with the frame, but the sash may also be connected with the frame in a traditional manner by means of hinge connec- tions at the bottom, the top or one of the side members .
  • Fig. 1 shows the window in the closed starting position, in which the sash is in full contact with the frame and secured thereto.
  • An operating device mounted on the frame member 1 comprises a motor 3 connected with a driving member 4 with a U-shaped recess 5 for receiving a first pin 6 on a locking rod 7 displaceable in the sash member 2.
  • a lock fittings 8 In the opposite end of the frame member 1 is mounted a lock fittings 8 with a track 9 having a first, relative to the longitudinal direction of the frame member inclined section 10 and a second section 11 extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the frame member and ending in an opening 12.
  • a second pin 13 on the locking rod 7 is, in the position shown, received in the track 9.
  • a window operator with an operating member is mounted on the frame, the window operator being in the embodiment shown a chain operator with a motor 14 and a chain 15, the free end of which by means of a fitting 16 is hingedly connected with a plate member 17, which is displaceably connected with the sash member 2.
  • the plate member 17 has a closed track 18, which is uniform with the first section 10 of the track 9 of the lock fitting 8, in which track a third pin 19 on the locking rod 7 is guided.
  • the sash is secured to the frame by the pins 6, 13 and 19 being kept in abutment against the recess 5 and the tracks 9 and 18, respectively, the locking rod 7 being kept stationarily relative to the sash member 2.
  • the motor 3 of the operating device By opening the window from the position shown in Fig. 1 to the ventilating position shown in Fig. 2 the motor 3 of the operating device is activated, which motor by means of transmission means (not described in detail) brings the driving member 4 and consequently the locking rod 7 to the right of the drawing.
  • the sash member 2 is pushed in a direction away from the frame member 1, i.e. outwards, the second pin 13 moving towards the right and outwards in the track 9 in the lock fitting 8.
  • the third pin 19 likewise moves towards the right and outwards in the track 18 in the plate member 17, while the chain operator, which has not been activated, via the chain 15 keeps it in full contact with the frame member 1, following which the plate member 17 is displaced in the transverse direc- tion of the sash member 2.
  • a sensor which for instance detects the position of the driving member 4, disconnects via a control system the current to the motor 3, when the position shown in Fig. 2 has been reached.
  • the window sash is in this position secured by the second pin 13 in the track 9 and the third pin 19 in the track 18 and in the longitudinal direction of the sash solely by the first pin 6 in the recess 5 of the driving member 4, and is capable of resisting comparatively heavy loads, for instance in form of heavy wind gusts.
  • the size of the ventilation opening is depending on the displacement of the driving member 4 and of the inclination of the tracks 9 and 18, but normally, the sash member 2 will have moved approx. 10 mm from its starting position.
  • the motor 3 is activated, whereby the locking rod 7 is moved further towards the right until the second pin 13 and the third pin 19 have reached their end positions in the tracks 9 and 18 as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the third pin 19 is positioned in an end portion of the track 18 with walls extending substantially in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the frame and sash members and the functioning of which will be explained in the following. In this position, the current to the motor 3 is disconnected, for instance by a sensor once more detecting the position of the driving member 4.
  • the window can now be moved to an open position by activating the motor 14 of the chain operator, which pushes the chain 15 and consequently the sash member 2 outwards.
  • the third pin 19 abuts the interior wall part of the end portion of the track 18, while the first pin 6 disengages the recess 5 of the driving member and the second pin 13 is passed through the second section 11 of the track 9 and out of the opening 12.
  • sensors of per se known type are provided which via the control system activate the motor 14 of the chain operator to pull the sash into full contact with the frame for the attain- ment of the position shown in Fig. 3, following which the motor 3 is activated and pulls, during the movement of the locking rod 7 towards the left, the sash further in contact with the frame for the attainment of the first ventilating position in Fig. 2 or the completely closed position in Fig. 1.
  • an operating device and a chain operator may be provided at each frame member or at least at two opposite members, in which case the motors then have to run synchronously to avoid overload of the sash guiding mechanisms and the chain operators.
  • the control of the operating device and the chain operator for each sash/frame member pair should be coordinated such that the motor of the operating device cannot be activated, when the chain operator is active, and vice versa .
