Definitions

  • the invention relates to a telescopic window brace comprising two elements that can be shifted into each other and a securing element, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Window braces known to the present day are usually conceived as shear mechanisms consisting of two arms connected by joint, of which one is accommodated as tilting on the window frame, the other as tilting on the window wing.
  • the shear mechanism such as according to the disclosed application DE 34 46 035, requires yet another device, such as a pull rod with tilting motion fixed to one arm, the free end of said pull rod being provided by a tilting sleeve that can slide on the other arm that is provided by notches for snapping said tilting sleeve.
  • the shear mechanism is complemented with a. third arm tilting on the arm that tilts on the window frame, having a joint connection with the other arm tilting on the window wing.
  • Such third arm is provided with a profile groove accepting a pin anchored on the second arm and intended for securing the window wing in positions preselected.
  • window braces based upon the telescopic principle are known, such as according of the disclosed application DE 43 41 353 where the window brace consists of a pair of flat pull rods adjacent to each other, one of said flat pull rods pivoting on the window frame and the other flat pull rod pivoting on the window wing. Both flat pull rods are provided, almost full length, by waved guiding grooves with a system of lateral recesses for allowing to accomodate pins anchored in the opposite flat pull rod at its opposite end.
  • window brace on telescopic principle is known from the patent DE 40 16 757 according to which the window wing is provided with a pivoted guiding pull rod made of a profile with section of square character C accommodating a flat pull rod pivoting on the window frame sliding in the former pull rod.
  • the free end of the guiding pull rod is provided with a brake having an adjustable stop for restricting the movement of the flat pull rod in the guide pull rod.
  • a disadvantage of the said solution is the unreliable operation of the brake that is subject to weather conditions resulting in varied friction of the flat pull rod and, on the other hand, the construction thickness tends to be considerable, usually exceeding the current gap of the window structure.
  • Another telescopic window brace is known according to EP 0 553 523 created by an external hollow beam accommodating a sliding internal hollow beam. The free end of the external hollow beam pivots on the window wing and the free end of the internal hollow beam pivots on the window frame. Both hollow beams are provided with through grooves allowing the insertion of a resiliently tilting stop accommodated in the internal hollow beam.
  • the resiliently tilting stop is arranged so at to mesh with the ends of both through grooves for ensuring the overall length of the telescopic brace, and thus the corresponding size of opening of the window wing.
  • the external hollow beam has a toothed belt attached at the internal side, whereas the internal hollow beam has a resilient locking pawl meshing with the toothed belt and actuated by the resiliently tilting stop.
  • Another telescopic window brace comprising the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1, is known from DE 684 487C.
  • the purpose of the invention is to do away with the mentioned disadvantages of the known concepts of window braces by creating a telescopic window brace of simpler construction providing sufficient strength also if used for larger size windows and requiring no or minor adaptations of the window frame and the window wing in the course of installation.
  • a telescopic window brace comprising two elements that can be shifted into each other and a securing element, wherein it consists of a pair of profiles, the first profile accomodating, as the securing element, a tilting pawl meshing with through notches created in the second profile, characterized in that the section of the profiles resembles a narrow character U that are inserted into each other in the opposite direction, the first profile having an outer web and an inner web that is provided with a first longitudinal groove for a rivet connection with the other profile, and the second profile having an outer web and an inner web with a second longitudinal groove for another rivet connection with the first profile, the first profile having a through hole opening to the side edge of the inner web accommodating the tilting pawl meshing with the through notches created in the bent part of the second profile.
  • the tilting pawl is created by a flat body provided with a hook nose at one end, for engaging with a first protrusion in the through hole, and the opposite end with a stop jut for engaging with a second protrusion in the through hole, the tilting pawl having a one-sided bevel to form a skew stop above its central part, while it is under the action of a pressure spring in the direction towards the bent part.
  • the window clip can be provided with a circular hole with narrowing down extension and a flat resilient security element that partially covers the circular hole, being intended for securing the telescopic window brace against releasing from the window wing.
  • the benefit of the telescopic window brace according to the invention resides in considerable design simplification along with sufficient strength even for the use in larger size windows, its installation requiring none at all, or only minor adaptations of the window frame and the window wing.
  • FIG. 1 is the overall front view of the telescopic window brace
  • Fig. 2 a longitudinal vertical section of the telescopic window brace according to line II - II in Fig. 4
  • Fig. 3 a ground plan view of the telescopic window brace
  • Fig. 4 a cross section of the telescopic window brace according to the line IV - IV in Fig. 1.
  • the telescopic window brace consists of a pair of profiles 1 , 2 in form of a narrow character U that are inserted into each other in the opposite direction.
  • the first profile 1 has a first longitudinal groove 4 in its inner web 3 and the second profile 2 has a second longitudinal groove 6 in its inner web 5. Both longitudinal grooves 4, 6 are adjacent to each other, if both profiles 1 , 2 are inserted into each other.
  • Close to its one end the first profile 1 is provided with a rivet connection 7 firmly accommodated in the outer web 8 and the inner web 3 and passing through the second longitudinal through groove 6 in the inner web 5 in the second profile 2 .
  • the rivet connection 7 serves to guide the second profile 2 in the first profile 1.
  • the second profile 2 is provided with another rivet connection 9 firmly attached to the outer web 10 and the inner web 5 of the second profile 2, passing through the first longitudinal groove 4 in the inner web 3 of the first profile 1.
  • the rivet connection 9 serves to guide the first profile 1 in the second profile 2.
  • Both rivet connections 7, 9 serve at the same time as end stops when the telescopically arranged profiles 1, 2 are extended to the maximum.
  • the inner web 3 of the first profile 1 has a through hole 11 opening to the marginal edge of inner web 3 and provided, at this marginal edge, with a pair of protrusions 12 , 13 that are offset from each other for holding a tilting pawl 14 inserted in the through hole 11, said tilting pawl being under the action of a pressure spring 15 acting towards the said protrusions, the other end of said spring 15 being inserted in the recess 16 of the internal edge of the through hole 11 .
  • the tilting pawl 14 is created by a flat body 18 the one end of which has a hook nose 19 for engaging with the first protrusion 12 in the through hole 11 and at the opposite end a stop jut 20 for engaging with the second protrusion 13 in the through hole 11 .
  • the flat body 18 of tilting pawl 14 has a one-sided bevel above its central part, thus creating a skew stop 21 for engaging with always one of the through notches 22 , 23, 24, or possibly further ones that are provided in the bent part 25 of the second profile 2.
  • Their number and spacings depend upon the requirements relating to the opening of the not illustrated window wing.
  • the opposite end of the second profile 2 has a through notch 26 at the end of the bent part 25 .
  • first profile 1 bears an inserted frame clip 29 that is fixed, for instance by rivets 28, as a tilting anchor of the telescopic window brace to the not illustrated window frame
  • second profile 2 bears a wing clip 31 that is fixed, for instance by further rivets 30, and has a resilient flat security element 32 that partially covers the circular hole 33 with tapered extension 34 for easy installation and removal from the not illustrated pin fixed to the window wing.
  • the telescopic window brace according to the present invention will be installed to the window gap by its frame clip 29 to the inner side of the not illustrated window frame, such as by a current screw connection, and by its wing clip 31 to the outer side of the not illustrated window wing, such as by inserting the wing clip 31 by positioning its circular hole 33 onto the not illustrated pin attached to this outer side of the window wing.
  • the not illustrated pin will enter the tapered extension 34 of the circular hole 33 where the flat security element 32 will ensure the telescopic window brace against release.
  • the window wing After turning the current window handle the window wing will be released and can be tilted to a partially open position in which the second profile 2 will be pulled from the first profile 1, until the tilting pawl 14 accommodated in the through hole 11 of the inner web 3 of the first profile 1 and held by the bent part 25 of the second profile 2 when the window is closed, is now shifted out, gets released and snaps under the action of pressure spring 15 with its skew stop 21 into the first through notch 22 in the second profile 2. Thus the window wing gets locked in the first slightly opened position.
  • the skew stop 21 will be pushed by a finger of a hand against the strength of pressure spring 15, which is allowed by the cross recess 27 in the outer web 8 of the first profile 1 .
  • the skew stop 21 leaves the engagement with the first through notch 22 and the second profile 2 is released.
  • the second profile 2 moves further out of the first profile 1, until the skew stop 21 of the tilting pawl 14 snaps under the action of the pressure spring 15 into the second through notch 23 in the second profile 2.
  • the window wing gets locked in the second partially open position.
  • the window wing can be locked in the third, or possibly in further positions as well as in the so-called cleaning position in which, after the tilting pawl 14 is released, the second profile 2 can be shifted out of the first profile 1 , until the skew stop 21 of tilting pawl 14 snaps under the action of pressure spring 15 into the terminal through notch 26 in the second profile 2.
  • the closing of the window wing is performed by simple pressure upon the same and is achieved continuously, which is allowed by the angle of the skew stop 21 that can smoothly slide under the bent part 25 of the second profile 2 during the retracting movement of the second profile 2 back into the first profile 1 .
  • the telescopic window brace can be used for securing window wings in various opening positions, including the position for cleaning.
