Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locking device for pivot or bottom hung windows, especially, but not exclusively, for such windows mounted on an easily accessible facade.
  • the invention relates to a pivot or bottom window, having a sash provided with a latch for locking engagement with the window frame .
  • the window frame comprises a recess for receiving a latch mounted on the sash and extending parallel to the pivot axis .
  • the latch engages the recess to lock the sash in a ventilation position.
  • DE-43 28 330 discloses such a locking device for a pivot or bottom hung window.
  • the locking device comprises a bushing mounted in the window frame and an axially movable cylindrical locking member received in the bushing having an extended active position and a retracted inactive position.
  • the cylindrical locking member is formed by a key operated locking cylinder. In its active position the locking cylinder obstructs the opening movement of the sash, typically limiting the movement of the sash between a closed position to a ventilation position engaging the latch.
  • This type of lock provides excellent burglar resistance, but is cumbersome to use as the user needs to have the key available for locking and unlocking. Further, it is not possible to lock the window in a ventilation position using the latch when this type of cylinder lock is mounted in the window frame .
  • Cylinder locks are also relatively expensive. Not all customers desire the additional locking feature. Factory fitting all widows of this type with a cylinder lock would increase product cost beyond competitive levels . Cylinder locks are therefore typically retrofitted, which further increases the costs, since skilled technicians are needed to fit the cylinder locks in situ.
  • a locking device for pivot or bottom hung windows comprising a bushing for mounting in a window frame, an axially movable locking member received in the bushing having an extended active position and a retracted inactive position and being resiliently biased towards the extended position, and means for retaining the locking member in the retracted position, wherein the locking member is provided with an axially opening recess for receiving a latch extending from a sash of the window.
  • the sash can be blocked from opening further than a ventilation position when the locking member is in the active position and the sash can also be locked in a ventilation position using the latch when the locking member is in the retracted position.
  • the locking device is inexpensive, so it can be factory fitted as a standard feature whilst maintaining competitive manufacturing costs .
  • the means for retaining the locking member in the retracted position is key-less.
  • the locking member is provided with an radially outwardly extending pin that engages a substantially L-shaped groove in the bushing for retaining the locking member in the retracted position.
  • This construction enables the locking member to be selectively retained in the retracted position.
  • the bushing may be provided with an radially inwardly extending pin that engages a substantially L-shaped groove in the locking member for retaining the locking member in the retracted position.
  • the locking member may be provided with a radially outwardly extending pin that engages a substantially U- or Z-shaped groove in the bushing for retaining the locking member in the retracted position and in the extended position. This construction enables the locking member to be selectively retained in the retracted position and in the extended position.
  • the bushing may be provided with a radially inwardly extending pin that engages a substantially U- or Z-shaped groove in the locking member for retaining the locking member in the retracted position and in the extended position.
  • a pivot or bottom hung window comprising a window frame and a sash provided with a latch for locking engagement with the window frame, a bushing mounted in the window frame, an axially movable locking member received in the bushing having an extended active position in which it obstructs the sash and a retracted inactive position in which it does not obstruct the sash, the locking member being resiliently biased towards the extended position, and means for retaining the locking member in the retracted position, the bushing being mounted in the frame so that it faces the latch when the sash is in an open position and the locking member being provided with an axially opening recess for receiving the latch.
  • the sash can be blocked from opening further than a ventilation position when the locking member is in the active position and the sash can also be locked in a ventilation position using the latch when the locking member is in the retracted position.
  • the locking device is inexpensive, so it can be factory fitted as a standard feature whilst maintaining competitive manufacturing costs.
  • the means for retaining the locking member in the retracted position is key-less.
  • the locking member is provided with a radially outwardly extending pin that engages a substantially L-shaped groove in the bushing for retaining the locking member in the retracted position.
  • This construction enables the locking member be selectively retained in the retracted position.
  • the bushing may be provided with a radially inwardly extending pin that engages a substantially L-shaped groove in the locking member for retaining the locking member in the retracted position.
  • the locking member may be provided with a radially outwardly extending pin that engages a substantially U- or Z-shaped groove in the bushing for retaining the locking member in the retracted position and in the extended position. This construction enables the locking member to be selectively retained in the retracted position and in the extended position.
  • the bushing may be provided with a radially inwardly extending pin that engages a substantially U- or Z-shaped groove in the locking member for retaining the locking member in the retracted position and in the extended position.
  • the bushing is mounted such that the sash can only be opened to a ventilation position when the locking member is in its active position.
  • Fig. 1 shows a closed and a ventilation position of the sash
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view through a locking device in a first preferred embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 3 is a top view on the locking device shown in
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the locking device shown in Fig. 2,
  • Fig. 5 shows the sash in another ventilation position
  • Fig. 6 is a top view on the window frame and sash with a detail showing the engagement of a latch with the locking device with the sash in a ventilation position
  • Fig. 7 is a sectional view through a second preferred embodiment of the locking device according to the invention
  • Fig. 8 is a top view of a third preferred embodiment of the locking device according to the invention.
  • a pivot roof window according to the invention is an openable window with a window frame 2 and an openable sash 1. It is understood that the invention can be equally applied also to bottom hung windows in a substantially vertical facade.
  • the sash structure is pivotally journalled in the frame structure with an axis of rotation parallel with the top and bottom members by means of pivotal hinges 3 , known per se, between the frame 2 and sash 1.
  • the frame and sash structures are for the major part built up by wood, although it is also possible to use metal or plastic.
  • the sash 1 carries a window pane 15.
  • the sash 1 In a closed position, the sash 1 is oriented substantially parallel with the window frame 2. In the closed position a locking mechanism (not shown) engages a recess 16 in the window frame to lock the window.
  • the locking mechanism is operated by a handle 4. Such locking mechanisms are well known in the art and are therefore not shown in detail here.
  • a ventilation position of the sash 1 at which it forms an acute angle with the window frame 2 is shown in broken lines in Fig. 1. Opening the sash 1 further is prevented by a locking device 5 which is described in more detail below.
  • the locking device 5 comprises a metal or plastic bushing 7 provided with a closed bottom and an annular rim 12 at its open end.
  • the bushing is to mounted in a bore in frame 2.
  • a metal or plastic cylindrical locking member 8 is slidably received in the bushing 7.
  • the locking member is provided with a bore 15 in which the latch 6 can be received when the locking member 8 is in a retracted position.
  • a radially outwardly protruding pin 10 is fixed to the locking member 8.
  • the pin extends into an L-shaped groove 11 arranged in the bushing 7. In the retracted position the pin 10 is located at the end of the tangentially extending arm lib of the L-shape groove 11, thus retaining the locking member 8 in the retracted position.
  • the locking member 8 can be moved from the retracted position to the extended position by turning the locking member 8 anti-clockwise and releasing it.
  • the locking member 8 can be moved from the extended position by pressing it into the bushing 7 and turning it clockwise .
  • the locking member 8 is at its axial periphery provided with a serrated or grooved surface for improving frictional contact with an operator's fingers.
  • Relatively broad types of windows may be provided with two locking devices 5, one at each side of the window frame 2, to improve structural stability.
  • the sash 1 can also be locked in a ventilation position by engaging the latch 6 with bore 15 in the locking member 7 when the latter is in the retracted position.
  • FIG. 7 another preferred embodiment of the locking device is shown.
  • a radially inwardly protruding pin 10 is fixed to the bushing 7.
  • the pin 10 is received in an L-shaped groove 11' provided in the locking member 8.
  • the operation of moving the locking member between the retracted position and the extended position is the same as for the embodiment described above .
  • FIG. 8 yet another preferred embodiment of the locking device is shown.
  • An additional tangentially extending arm lie has been added to the L- shaped groove 11, thus forming a U-shaped groove.
  • the pin 10 is located at the end of the arm lie and prevents the locking member from being pushed into the bushing 7.
  • Arm lie may also extend in the opposite direction so that the L-shaped groove 11 becomes Z-shaped.
  • a U- or Z-shaped groove can also be used when the groove is provided in the locking member 8 as described above .
  • a key operated locking mechanism such as a locking cylinder, to lock the locking member in the extended position and eventually also the retracted position.
