Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an innovative system for hooking/unhooking intended for being mounted on a window of a fitting to fasten to the window an actuating element for automatic tilt-opening of the window. The invention also relates in general to a fitting provided with such a fastening system.
- In the prior art fittings are known in which the window, mounted on a suitable frame, can be opened both in side-hung mode (i.e. rotating around a vertical axis) and in tilt mode (i.e. by rotating around a horizontal axis, at the height of the lower crosspiece of the fitting).
- The changeover from side-hung opening mode to tilt-opening mode is obtained by rotating the handle of the window appropriately; the handle is kinematically connected to movable fastening elements that make it possible to rotate the window alternatively around a vertical axis or around a horizontal axis.
- It is also known to provide the fitting with driving means that is suitable for automatically commanding window opening/closing in tilt mode.
- A fitting of this type is disclosed in United States patent
US 5,226,256 . The fitting is provided with an electric motor intended for rotating an arm that acts on the window to command automatic tilt-opening. In automatic opening mode, the end of the arm engages in a groove mounted on the upper profile of the window to command the opening/closing thereof. - In the event of manual opening, the end of the arm disengages from the groove, which is movable along the profile of the window through the action of the handle of the fitting between a position of engaging with the arm (automatic opening) and a position of disengaging from the arm (manual opening).
- This prior art has a series of drawbacks.
- In particular, the system of hooking/unhooking the arm on the window provides, in the automatic opening configuration, the possibility of sliding the end of the arm along the groove; this circumstance does not enable other types of drive other than the driven stiff arm to be used. For example, a driven chain might not act effectively on the window with the end thereof fastened in a slidable manner in the groove mounted on the window.
- Further, driving with a rotating arm is particularly costly and bulky, adapting badly to the spaces available at the upper crosspiece of the frame of the fitting.
- A further drawback of this solution is that the arm, over time, tends to sag and hang downwards compared with the correct horizontal position. This may lead to problems during the step of closing the window and of hooking the arm to the groove, with the consequent impossibility of achieving automatic opening in tilt mode. In the worst event, the window can no longer be taken to the closed position because of the sagging of the arm downwards.
- The general object of the present invention is to remedy the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a system for hooking/unhooking the actuating element on the window for automatic tilt-opening that can be used with different types of actuator, for example stiff arms, chains, or other.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a fitting with a system for hooking/unhooking the actuating element that is effective, cheap and has a simple structure such as to ensure a reliable changeover from manual opening to automatic opening for the entire duration of the useful life of the fitting.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a fitting that is tiltably openable in automatic mode in which the actuating element intended for being fastened to the window is always in the correct position for engaging with the fastening means on the window for the entire duration of the useful life of the fitting.
- In view of this object, it has been decided to make, according to the invention, a system for hooking/unhooking intended for being mounted on a window of a fitting to command fastening of the window at an end of an actuating element of the fitting suitable for acting on the window to command the automatic tilt-opening/closing thereof, said system for hooking/unhooking comprising fastening means kinematically connected to a handle of the window to be moved, by acting on the handle, between a configuration for automatic opening in which the end of the actuating element is fixed to the window and a configuration for manual opening in which the window is not fixed to the actuating element, characterised in that when the fastening means is in the configuration for automatic opening the end of the actuating element is fastened in a fixed position with respect to the window.

abutment 19, clearly shown infigures 8 and 9 , has a pair oflower ribs window 13, and two facingportions seat 41 is formed for receiving thepivot 24. Theportions head 24a of the pivot engages to form a fastening in a vertical direction. In theportion 40holes 70 are formed that are intended for receiving grubscrews for fixing theabutment 19 to thewindow 13. - Further, on opposite sides of the abutment body, the
portion 40 forms thepyramid seats 27 for coupling with theprotrusions movable element 20. - The operation of the fitting disclosed above is now disclosed briefly.
- By taking the handle to the manual opening position, the window is fastened to the frame so as to enable the window to open in side-hinge mode with rotation around the "y" axis. The
chain 17 is unfastened from the window, as themovable element 20 is taken to the position infigure 2 through the action of thekinematic motion movable element 20 to the handle. In this position thepivot 24 is free from the window in the direction that is transverse to the plane of the window, which can thus be opened. - By taking the handle to the automatic tilt-opening position, the window fastens to the lower crosspiece of the frame, the
movable element 20 is taken to the position infigure 3 , fixing on the window thepivot 24 mounted on the end of thechain 17. When the driving means 16 is started, thechain 17 pushes thewindow 13 to tilt open. - In
figures 10-15 there is shown a second embodiment of the invention, in which elements that are similar to corresponding elements of the first embodiment are indicated by reference numbers increased by 100. - The fitting 111 comprises a fixed
frame 112 and awindow 113 that is alternatively openable manually in side-hinge mode or automatically in tilt mode. - In the second embodiment, the tilt-opening driving means comprises a
stiff arm 117 instead of thechain 17 used in the first embodiment. - The fastening means 119, 120 is identical to the fastening means disclosed with reference to the first embodiment, and is suitable for making the end of the
arm 117 integral with thewindow 113 when the fastening means is configured for automatic tilt-opening of the fitting. Theelement 120 is connected kinematically to thehandle 118 to be moved between the position fastening the arm to the window and the position in which the arm is unfastened from the window. - The actuating means comprises a
motor 171 that drives ascrew 172 engaged with a screw-nut screw combination with ablock 170 that is slidable longitudinally along theupper profile 114 of theframe 112 of the fitting. Theblock 170 is advantageously slidable along a suitable guide and is hinged on an end of thearm 117 opposite the end that is fastenable on thewindow 113. This particular arrangement of the actuating means enables the overall dimensions to be reduced and a desired opening positioning of the window to be obtained in a reliable manner. Thearm 117 is rotatable with respect to the window at thepivot 124, which has a fixed position with respect to the window. - In
figure 11 there is shown the configuration of the fastening means 119, 120 in which the end of thearm 117 is fastened on thewindow 113, with thepivot 124 caged between thefixed abutment 119 and themovable element 120. - In
figure 12 there is shown the configuration with themovable element 120 moved away from the fixedabutment 119 and thepivot 124 of thearm 117 freed from the engagement with the fastening means in a direction that is transverse to the plane of the window. - The fitting 111 also comprises a retaining
block 160, which is clearly shown also infigures 13-15 , which is intended for maintaining in the correct positioning the arm in the event of manual opening of the window in side-hinge mode. - The
block 160, when the window is in the closed position, engages with themovable element 120 to be moved between an operating position engaging with theactuating arm 117 and a rest position retracted from thearm 117, respectively when the fitting is in manual opening mode and in automatic opening mode. - The
block 160 has an elongated shape and is fastened to the frame so as to be able to slide along thecrosspiece 114, being inserted into a channel (not shown) of the upper profile of the frame. For this purpose, theblock 160 is provided withribs profile 114 of the frame. - The
block 160 at an end thereof is provided with aseat 161 open on a lateral side intended for receiving thepivot 121 of themovable element 120 of the fastening means. - At the opposite end the
block 160 is provided with asecond seat 162 that is open in a longitudinal direction that is intended for receiving the end of thearm 117 that bears thepivot 124. - Advantageously, the
seat 162 hasshelves arm 124, to maintain thepivot 124 at all times in the correct position for engaging with the fastening means following a manual opening of the window. This enables the problem downward sagging to be overcome that the arm may have over time. - On the back of the
block 160, i.e. the part intended for facing theprofile 114 of theframe 112, there are two protrudingportions 163 that are arched into a bridge at a notch on the surface of the back. The protruding portions form a brake to the sliding of theblock 160, so that the latter faithfully follows the position of thepivot 121 of themovable element 120 and does not find itself accidentally in an incorrect position when the window closes. - When the fitting is in the configuration for automatic opening, as in
figure 11 , the block is moved to the right, integrally with themovable element 120, and thearm 124 is free to move away from theframe 112. - When the fitting is in the configuration for manual opening, as in
figure 12 , theblock 160, still integral with themovable element 120, is moved to the left and engages the end of thearm 124, preventing the movement thereof. - This promotes the correct detachment of the
arm 124 from the fastening means 119, 120 when the window is opened manually, in addition to enabling thepivot 124 to be maintained positioned correctly for subsequent engagement with thefastenings - At this point it is clear how the objects of the present invention have been achieved.
- In particular, a fastening system has been provided for fastening the actuating element on the window that can be used both in the case of driving with a driven stiff arm and in the event of use of a driven chain. This enables considerable advantages to be obtained, both in terms of economy of scale and of logistics.
- Further, the structure of the fastening system is simple and cheap, and can easily be applied to the window, in addition to ensuring solid and reliable fixing of the actuating element on the window.
- Owing to the presence of the retaining block, the arm is always maintained in the correct position even during manual opening of the window, so as to enable correct engagement between the arm and window over time.
- Naturally, the above description of an embodiment applying the innovative principles of the present invention is provided by way of example of such innovative principles and must not therefore be taken to limit the scope of what is claimed herein.
