Definitions
- the present invention relates to a terminal piece for closure rods for door and window frames, comprising:
- a terminal piece of the type referred to above is known from the Italian utility model No. 220647 , filed in the name of the present applicant, which describes a solution in which the position of the catch is adjustable with respect to a part coupled with the rod for closing the door or window frame.
- the adjustment is made by manoeuvring an eccentric pin and blocking the catch with a screw in the desired position. Prior to blocking, the catch can still perform small oscillations in the neighbourhood determined by the position of the eccentric pin.
- blocking is obtained just by means of the friction between the surfaces in contact with the slider and with the catch, produced by the action of the screw. Extraordinary events, such as accidental impact on the frames or else strong gusts of wind, can cause relative movement between the catch and the slider, with the consequent loss of the adjustment.
- FR-A-2396146 and FR-A-2199338 disclose a terminal piece for closure rods for door and window frames comprising: a slider, a catch, a first and a second pin element connected to the slider and to the catch and enabling adjustment of the position of the catch with respect to the slider.
- a face plate is set between the catch and the slider.
