Definitions
- the present invention relates to a window assembly, a latch for a closure assembly, a hopper window and a vehicle including a hopper window or a window assembly.
- Closure assemblies such as window and door assemblies comprising a frame surrounding an aperture and a leaf arranged to move relative thereto in order to close the aperture are well known.
- Public transport vehicles such as trains and buses are often provided with window assemblies comprising a leaf having a top edge, a bottom edge substantially opposed thereto and first and second side edges interposed therebetween, and which is pivotally mounted to a frame by its bottom edge. The leaf is arranged to move between a closed position and an open position by pivoting about its bottom edge such that its upper edge moves into the vehicle.
- These window assemblies are referred to as hopper windows and are provided to allow ventilation of the vehicle.
- Known hopper windows have several disadvantages. In particular many users find them difficult to operate. They are often provided with catches to retain the leaf in the closed position which must be manipulated by a user in order to release the leaf. To move the leaf into an open position the user also has to pull it towards themselves. This can be awkward particularly for elderly people who find it hard to operate the catch and pull the leaf towards themselves at the same time.
- a window assembly comprising a leaf mounted to a frame, the leaf being arrangeable between a first position and a second position relative to the frame, the assembly having a latch in order to retain the leaf in the first position and to prevent movement of the leaf to the second position, wherein movement of the leaf in a first direction whilst in the first position causes the leaf to be releasable from the latch and for the leaf to be movable in a second direction to the second position.
- movement of the leaf from the second position in the first direction cause the latch to retain the leaf in the first position and to prevent movement of the leaf to the second position.
- the latch automatically retains and releases the leaf solely as a result of the movement of the leaf. Accordingly, the latch may not require any small locking mechanism which may be difficult for users to operate.
- the latch comprises retaining means for retaining engagement means.

- the vehicle may comprise a train or tram carriage.
- the window assembly 100 comprises a leaf 10 and a frame or window frame 20.
- the leaf comprises a planar member having a frame work for retaining a window pane or panes therein.
- the assembly comprises mounting means in order to mount the leaf in the window frame 20.
- the window assembly further includes a latch comprising retaining means and engagement means.
- the engagement means engages in the retaining means in order to retain and lock the window in the window frame. Movement of the window from a first, closed, position 115 in a first direction 111 causes relative movement between the engagement means and the retaining means which causes the engagement means to disengage with the retaining means in order to enable the leaf 10 to move in a second direction 121 towards a second, open, position 120.
- the leaf 10 In between the first position 115 and the second position 120, the leaf 10 locates in a third position 110 which is the position at which the latch has just enabled the leaf to be moved in the second direction 12 to the second position.
- the engagement means is preferably located in the leaf 10 and the retaining means is preferably located in the window frame 20.
- the assembly also comprises biasing means to bias and urge the leaf 10 towards the second position 120. Accordingly, in use, from the closed position 115, an upper region of the leaf 10 is pushed in a first direction 111 in order for the retaining means to move relative to the engaging means. Once at a critical position (the third position 110) where the window cannot be pushed any further, the pushing force is released from the leaf 10 in order for the biasing means to move the leaf 10 in the second direction 121 to a second position 120.
- the assembly comprises limiters to restrict the movement of the leaf 10 in the second direction 121 and to retain the leaf 10 in the second position 120. In order to close the window the leaf 10 is again pushed in the first direction 111until it can be pushed no further. The pushing force is then released and the leaf 10 moves in the second direction 121 and is retained in a closed position 115. Accordingly, the assembly does not require the use of any significant force and also does not use any complicated latches which may be difficult for certain people to operate.
- a window assembly 100 comprises a leaf 10 housed within a frame 20.
- the leaf 10 comprises a bottom edge 11 about which it is pivotally linked to the frame 20 by a hinge 30.
- the hinge 30 comprises first and second hinge members 31, 32.
- the first hinge member 31 comprises a part of the bottom edge 11 of the leaf 10 having a substantially cylindrical form.
- the second hinge member 32 comprises a part of the frame 20 defining a substantially "C" shaped channel arranged to receive and retain the first hinge member 31.
- the first hinge member 31 defines an outwardly facing curved or arcuate surface that extends longitudinally along the bottom edge 11 of the leaf 10.
- the second hinge member 32 defines an inwardly facing curved or arcuate surface in order to co-operate with the curved surface of the first hinge member 31.
- the leaf 10 is arranged to move between a first, closed, position as shown by Figures 1a and a second, open, position as shown by Figure 2.
- first and second hinge members 31,32 each comprise an abutment 33,34 respectively arranged to engage with each other when the leaf 10 is in the second position and to prevent it opening further than the second position.
- the leaf 10 is arranged such that the leaf rotates or pivots substantially through an angle of 30° as the leaf moves between the first position and the second position.
- the hinge 30 further comprises biasing means in the form of a spring or a torsion spring 40.
- biasing means in the form of a spring or a torsion spring 40.
- a first end 41 of the torsion spring 40 being engaged with the first hinge member 31 and a second end 42 being with the second hinge member 32.
- the torsion spring 40 is arranged such that it biases the leaf 10 toward the second, open, position.
- the hinge 30 further comprises a rotary damper 50 at either end thereof arranged to resist the biasing force of the torsion spring 40 to control and decrease the opening speed of the leaf 10.
- the frame 20 comprises baffle means in the form of baffles 21,22 arranged to locate adjacent to or abut the ends of the hinge members 31,32 and thus hide said ends from view.
- the baffles 21,22 also deflect the flow of air into a vehicle comprising the window assembly 100 when the leaf 10 is in the second position.
- the window assembly 100 comprises latches each comprising a retaining means 60 or keep and engagement means 70 in the form of an engagement member 71 or stirker.
- the retaining means 60 and engagement means 70 of each latch are substantially identical with the first latch being a mirror image of the second latch.
- each latch is mounted to the longitudinal edges 12,13 of the leaf 10 in the region of the top edge 14 thereof.
- the retaining means 60 of the latches are mounted to the baffles 21,22 of the frame in corresponding positions.
- the retaining means 60 of each latch is arranged to receive the engagement member 71 as the leaf 10 is pushed towards and passed the first position into a third position. Once the operator stops pushing the leaf 10, the leaf 10 is returned towards the first position by the biasing effect of the springs 40 and the leaf is retained in the first position due to the engagement of the engagement member 71 and retaining means 60 of each latch. The leaf 10 can be released from the first position by being pushed towards the third position whereupon the retaining means 60 of each latch releases the engagement member 71 from locking engagement. The leaf can then be returned towards the second position by the biasing effect of the springs 40.
- each latch is mounted on an arm 72 by which the engagement member 71 is pivotally linked to a body 73 which is mounted to the leaf 10.
- the body 73 may alternatively comprise an integral part of the leaf 10 defining a mounting point for the arm 72.
- the arm 72 and engagement member 71 are linked to the body 73 such that the engagement member 71 may move relative thereto in a substantially vertical direction. The engagement member may thus be caused to move between an upper position 71a and a lower position 71b due to the effects of gravity.
- the retaining means 60 comprises a body 61 housing a moveable member 62 mounted between first and second fixed members 63,64.
- the moveable member 62 comprises a flexible, resiliently deformable material.
- the term movable is defined to incorporate flexible in which a part of the member may flex.
- the moveable member 62 and first and second fixed members 63,64 are arranged to define a ramped engagement surface 65 which first contacts the engagement member 71 as the engagement member 71 enters the retaining means 60.
- the moveable member 62 is in the position indicated by 62a of Figure 10 and the engagement member 71 is in the position indicated by 71b of Figure 7.
- the engagement member 71 is in position 1 shown in Figure 10 relative to the retaining means 60.
- the engagement member 71 is guided towards the upward position 71a until it reaches position 2 relative to the keep.
- the engagement member 71 is in position 2 the leaf 10 lies just before the first, closed position.
- the leaf 10 is then pushed passed the first position causing the engagement member 71 to move further into the retaining means 60 whereupon engagement member abuts a ramped surface 81 of the housing 61 arranged to guide the engagement member onto a shelf portion 82 which co-operates with the ramped surface 81 to define a first stop 66 for the engagement member 71.
- the engagement member 71 is thus retained in position 3 which corresponds to the third, closed, position of the leaf 10 until the user or operator stops pushing the leaf 10 whereupon the leaf 10 is returned towards the closed position by the spring 40.
- the engagement member 71 thus moves towards and into engagement with a ramped surface 83 of the first fixed member 63 which guides the engagement member towards a shelf portion 84 which co-operates with the ramped surface 83 to define a retaining region or a retainer 67 for the engagement member 71.
- the engagement member is then retained in position 4 which corresponds to the first, closed, position of the leaf 10, until a user or operator pushes the leaf 10 towards the third position.
- the engagement member 71 reaches position 5 in which the engagement member 71 engages a ramped surface 85 of the housing 61 below the shelf portion 82 of the housing 61 and the engagement member 71 is guided towards a guide surface 69 of the housing 61 which cooperates with the ramped surface 85 to define a second stop 68.
- the engagement member 71 is thus held in position 6 until the user or operator stops pushing the leaf 10.
- the leaf 10 is moved towards the second position by the or each spring 40.
- the engagement member 71 is then guided by the guide surface 69 passed position 7 towards the exit of the retaining means 60.
- the engagement member 71 causes movable member 62 to flex from position 62a to position 62b (shown by dashed lines in Figure 10) such that the engagement member 71 opens up the exit path for the engagement member 71.
- the engagement member 71 thus moves through position 8 and exits the retaining means 60.
- the movable member 62 returns to the starting configuration 62a such that the movable member 62 is arranged to guide the engagement member 71 into position 1 when the leaf 10 is once again pushed towards the first position.
- another embodiment of retaining means of a latch comprises a housing 90 having a movable member 92 located therein.
- the movable member 92 is pivotally mounted to the housing through a pin 94.
- the movable member provides a ramped surface 95 to guide the engagement member upwards and into the housing 90.
- the movable member comprises an abutment surface 96 which the engagement member will abut as the engagement member travels out of the housing 90.
- the pin is arranged such that the abutment of the engagement member against the abutment surface pivots the movable member and the engagement member moves out of the housing.
- the pin is arranged such that once the engagement member has travelled out of the housing, the movable member will pivot back naturally to the original starting position in which the movable member provides a ramped surface.
- the movable member may pivot about the pin or both the movable member and the pin may move relative to the housing.
- the window assemblies of the present invention may have particularly simple operation, only ever being required to be pushed by a user to both open and close the window, and having no catches which require strenuous manual manipulation.
- the window assembly is a hopper window assembly.
- the hopper window assembly is for use in vehicles and particularly in buses or coaches or train carriages or tram carriages. Accordingly, the hopper window is for use in passenger vehicles and in particular commuter vehicles for transporting people.
