Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a friction stay for use in mounting a frame of a moveable vent to the remainder of a window frame. The invention relates, in particular, to a friction stay of improved ability to withstand loads applied thereto in an attempt to gain unauthorised access to a building.
- In order to gain unauthorised access to a building, it is known to introduce a suitable tool between the frame of a moveable vent and the remainder of a window frame, and to apply a force to the tool to attempt to move the vent frame, and thereby to apply a sufficient load to the friction stay or to the locking mechanism associated with the vent frame to cause the stay or the locking mechanism to fail or to be weakened to such an extent that it is relatively easy to open the vent.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a friction stay whereby the risk of unauthorised access to a building can be reduced. A further object is to provide components for use with an existing friction stay whereby the ability of the stay to withstand loads applied thereto is improved.
- According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a friction stay comprising a vent arm moveable relative to a fixed component fixed, in use, to a stationary part of a window frame, the vent arm and the fixed component each having projections associated therewith co-operable with one another when the vent arm occupies a closed position to inhibit movement of the vent arm in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof.
- One of the vent arm and the fixed component conveniently has, associated therewith, a single projection, the other of the vent arm and the fixed component having two projections defining therebetween a channel within which the said single projection is received when the vent arm occupies its closed position.
- The projections are conveniently provided on components securable to the vent arm and the fixed component
- The projections may be provided with ramped surfaces to assist in moving the vent to a closed position.
- According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a friction stay comprising a vent arm moveable relative to a fixed component fixed, in use, to a stationary part of a window frame, the vent arm carrying a projection which, when the vent arm occupies its closed position, is out of alignment with the fixed component, the projection co-operating with a stop, when the vent arm is in its closed position, to restrain movement of the vent in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the vent.
- The projection and stop are conveniently shaped to co-operate with one another as the vent is moved towards its closed position to guide the vent towards the closed position.
- The projection may further be shaped to act as a stop, the projection abutting at least one further component of the stay when the vent arm occupies an open position.
- Conveniently, the projection is securable to the vent arm.
- The stay may further include co-operating projections in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
- The stay is advantageous in that, when occupying its closed position, movement of the vent arm in its longitudinal direction is restrained, thus the vent is able to withstand increased loads, the risk of damage to the locking mechanism is reduced, and hence the risk of unauthorised access to a building through the vent is reduced. Further, levering of the vent to move the vent in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the vent at the 'hinged' side of the vent is restrained, again reducing the risk of unauthorised access being gained.
- The invention will further be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views illustrating a friction stay in accordance with an embodiment of the invention in open and closed positions, respectively;
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the stay in its open position;
- Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view of part of the stay;
- Figures 5 to 8 are perspective views of some of the components of the stay; and
- Figures 9 to 14 are perspective views of some alternative components.
- The friction stay illustrated in the Figures 1 to 8 comprises a fixed component in the form of a
track 10 arranged to be secured, for example using screws, to a fixed part of a window frame. The friction stay is particularly suitable for use with a window frame constructed from extruded lengths of PVC-U material. It will be appreciated, however, that the friction stay may also be used in other applications, for example window frames constructed from aluminium. Thetrack 10 defines achannel 12 within which aslide member 14 is located, theslide member 14 being slidable axially of thetrack 10. The lower wall of thetrack 10 is deformed to define aprojection 16 acting as a stop which limits sliding movement of theslide member 14. Theslide member 14 may be provided with, for example, anadjustment screw 18 whereby the load resisting sliding movement of theslide member 14 along the track can be adjusted to a desired level. - First and
second linkage arms slide member 14. Thefirst arm 20 is pivotally connected, at its end remote from that pivotally mounted upon theslide member 14 to avent arm 24. Thevent arm 24 is pivotally connected to athird linkage arm 26, the end of which remote from thevent arm 24 is pivotally mounted to thetrack 10. The end of thesecond linkage arm 22 remote from the end mounted upon theslide member 14 is pivotally connected to thethird linkage arm 26. The lengths and positions of the first, second andthird linkage arms vent arm 24 is moveable between a closed position (as shown in Figure 2) in which it overlies thetrack 10 and an open position (as shown in Figures 1 and 3) in which it extends generally perpendicularly to thetrack 10. - In order to accommodate the various connections between the
linkage arms vent arm 24, these components are bent to define steps lying in different planes. - As shown in the drawings, the
vent arm 24 is provided with a number ofopenings 28 whereby thevent arm 24 may be secured, for example using screws, to the frame of a moveable vent. - The friction stay described thus far is of generally conventional form.
- In accordance with the invention, the
track 10 has associated therewith acomponent 30 provided with a pair ofupstanding projections 32 defining therebetween achannel 34. Thevent arm 24 has associated therewith acomponent 36 provided with aprojection 38 receivable within thechannel 34 when thevent arm 24 occupies its closed position, theprojection 38 being co-operable with theprojections 32 such that movement of thevent arm 24 relative to thetrack 10 in its longitudinal direction is restrained. Theprojections surface 40 arranged to ensure that, as thevent arm 24 is moved towards its closed position, thevent arm 24 is lifted to a position that ensures that the vent frame does not abut part of the fixed window frame in such a manner as to prevent closure of the vent. - In order to make fitting of the
component 30 and thecomponent 36 relatively easy, these components are securing using the same fixing screws as those used to secure thetrack 10 and thevent arm 24 in position. Additional fixing screws are also used. In order to ensure that thecomponent 36 extends generally coaxially with thevent arm 24, thecomponent 36 is provided with anupstanding tang 42 which engages within a correspondingly shaped opening provided in thevent arm 24. - In order to further enhance the security attainable using the friction stay, a
projection 44 is mounted upon thevent arm 24, theprojection 44 being co-operable, as thevent arm 24 is moved towards its closed position, with astop 46 mounted upon thetrack 10. Thestop 46 conveniently forms part of an end cap shaped to co-operate with an end of thevent arm 24 to further ensure that movement of that end of thevent arm 24 is resisted when the vent arm occupies its closed position. - As illustrated most clearly in Figure 4, the
projection 44 is arranged to protrude from a side of thevent arm 24 to a position in which it is out of alignment with thetrack 10 when thevent arm 24 occupies its closed position. Theprojection 44 includes anabutment surface 48 of curved form which cooperates with anabutment surface 50 provided on thestop 46. Theabutment surfaces vent arm 24 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the vent is permitted. - The
projection 44 is further shaped such that when thevent arm 24 occupies its fully open position as illustrated most clearly in Figure 3, theprojection 44 engages both the second andthird linkage arms slide member 14 and thestop 16 in resisting such movement. The mounting of theprojection 44 is conveniently achieved using at least one of the screws used to secure thevent arm 24 to the vent. In addition, theprojection 44 includes anintegral tang 52 received within a correspondingly shaped opening provided in thevent arm 24. Anadditional opening 54 is also provided in theprojection 44 whereby an additional mounting screw may be used to secure theprojection 44 to the vent. - In use, mounting of the friction stay is not a significantly more complex process than the mounting of a conventional frictional stay, the main difference being that a few additional mounting screws are used to ensure that the various components are secured rigidly in position. Once correctly mounted, opening and closing of the vent in normal use is not impeded in any way. Indeed closing of the vent is assisted to some extent as the co-operation between the
projection 44 and thestop 46 as the vent approaches its closed position occurs relatively early and from the commencement of the co-operation between theprojection 44 and thestop 46, that part of the vent is guided towards its closed position. Also, once the rampedsurfaces 40 move into engagement with theopposing components - Once the vent is in its closed position, unauthorised access to the building through the vent by levering of the vent is resisted. In particular, attempts to lever the vent in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the
vent arm 24 will be resisted by co-operation between theprojection 38 and theprojections 32. Levering of the side of the vent adjacent theprojection 44 and stop 46 to try and move the vent in a direction perpendicular to its plane will also be resisted by engagement of theabutment surface 48 of theprojection 44 with theabutment surface 50 of thestop 46. Theabutment surfaces vent arm 24 occupies its closed position is very small, thus levering of the vent is resisted to an extent better than that of a conventional stay. It will be appreciated that the ability of the friction stay of the invention to withstand such levering, and hence to reduce the risk of unauthorised access to a building being gained is improved. - If desired, the
projection 44 may be omitted, in which case thestop 46 may be replaced by a conventional end cap. - Figures 9 and 10 illustrate a
component 36 of alternative form in which theprojection 38 is of increased length. Thecomponent 36 of Figures 9 and 10 is intended for use with thecomponent 30 of Figure 11 in which thechannel 34 is of increased length to accommodate theprojection 38. - Figures 12 and 13 illustrate an alternative form for the
projection 44, Figure 14 illustrating an alternative keep for use with theprojection 44 of Figures 12 and 13.
