Definitions

  • the present invention relates to double doors and double windows comprising two door or window leaves each pivotably hinged to opposite sides of a fixed frame and where the leaves each swing to their own side.
  • Double windows or doors of the above mentioned kind need to be secured in their closed position to the fixed frame in order to prevent opening of the leaves.
  • the locking mechanism comprises a sliding bolt that is slid into a recess in the fixed frame when the leaf is closed.
  • the other leaf is hereafter secured to the first leaf by a second locking mechanism.
  • the sliding bolt typically needs to be slid into the recess in the fixed frame manually in order to secure the leaf properly.
  • people can forget to slide the sliding blot into the recess of the fixed frame and then the leaves are only secured together by the second locking mechanism and not to the fixed frame.
  • the double window or door is as a consequence not secured properly.
  • the two leaves can be opened by pushing from the inside or by pulling from the outside.
  • an inwardly opening window/door assembly the opposite is true.
  • the locking device of the current invention is also suitable for use with window and door assemblies which are different from the one described above.
  • One example is door and window assemblies which have more than two leaves.
  • window assemblies with three leaves are quite common.
  • a removable mullion is arranged in the fixed frame. The mullion is attached to the fixed frame via a locking mechanism and then the two leaves on each side of the mullion are locked to the mullion with each their own locking mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism according to the current invention can also be used in such an assembly in order to secure the removable mullion to the fixed frame.
  • Locking mechanisms of this kind are known in the prior art.
  • DE 29814404 describes a locking mechanism for a double window which is embodied as a hasp that is hinged to the bottom of a first window leaf and can pivot from a first position to a second position.
  • the hasp comprises a free end that in the first position engages with a pin positioned inside the window at the bottom or top of the fixed window frame.
  • the first window leaf can thus be secured to the fixed window frame in its closed position by positioning the hasp in the first position.
  • the hasp In order to open the window leaf, the hasp needs to be positioned in the second position.
  • the hasp further comprises a second free end that is positioned opposite the first free end, and that in the second position would extend outside the frame of the first window leaf.
  • the second window leaf would push to the second free end When this window leaf is closed and the hasp would as a consequence be rotated into the first position.
  • the second window leaf would thereafter be secured to the first window by another locking mechanism.
  • This locking mechanism is however not sufficient as the pin and hasp that secures the first window leaf to the fixed window frame are not very strong and can be ruined by relatively small push/pull forces, such as when a burglar tries to open the window by using a crowbar. Further many people finds that such locking mechanism ruins the aesthetic impression of the door/window assembly and therefore often prefer manual sliding bolts that are positioned between the two windows leaves and are thus not visible.
  • EP1420136 , EP1231344 and FR2854919 disclose locking devices for double door or window assemblies.
  • the locking devices are of the type which are mounted to a first one of the door/window leaves and positioned between the two door/window leaves when they are closed.
  • the locking device comprises a faceplate with a slideable bolt which can be slid into a locking position where the bolt engages with a recess at the top or bottom of the fixed door/window frame.
  • the locking device further comprises a control lever mounted to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the door/window leaves on the front plate. One end of a connecting rod is articulated to the control lever and the other end to the sliding rod.
  • the connecting rod would upon rotation of the control lever slide the sliding bolt along the faceplate.
  • the sliding bolt can thus be slid from the open position to the locked position by rotating the control lever and reverse.
  • the locking device can be mounted at (on) one door or window leaf such that the control lever in the open position would extend outside the door/window leaf. The other door/window would therefore push the control lever when this door/window leaf is being closed and the control lever would thus rotate and bring the sliding bolt into the locking position whereby the windows/doors are secured to the fixed door/window frame.
  • This type of locking device does not secure the door/window leaves sufficiently as it is possible to insert a sharp object such as a screw driver between the two door/window leaves and in this way force the double doors/windows to open and at the same time bring the sliding blot into the open position.
  • Locking devices of this kind are further rather complicated to manufacture as three movable parts (the control lever, the connecting rod and the sliding blot) need to be connected and aligned properly in order for the locking device to work properly.
  • the control lever and connection rod are further embodied as thin metal profiles which can bend whereafter it becomes impossible to close the door/window leaves because the control lever and connecting rod then would not be able to rotate into the locking position between the two windows/doors.
  • JP3581129 B2 discloses another type of locking apparatus for double doors.
  • the locking apparatus is attached to one of the door leaves and comprise a bolt which is slid into a recess in the fixed frame when the other door is closed.
  • the bolt is activated by an activating member which is mounted on the first door leaf in a manner in which it can pivot about a fixed pivot point and pushes the bolt into its locked position when the second door comes into contact with the activating member.
  • GB 1 570 307 describes a lock of the kind which is suitable for use on e.g. a door and which includes a bolt axially slidable between an operative position wherein it projects into a socket or keeper in or on a fixed structure to which the door is connected, thereby to lock the door, and an inoperative position withdrawn from the socket and permitting the door to be opened.
  • One end of the bolt is pivotally connected to a cam disposed for pivotal and translational movements between a pair of guide surfaces extending transversely of the direction of movement of the bolt and a handle fixed to the cam to enable it to be pivoted and translated and by engagement with the guide surfaces to move the bolt between its two positions.
  • the locking device according to present invention is in the following described as a locking device for a double window comprising two window leaves each hinged to a fixed window frame on opposite sides of said window frame.
  • the locking device is arranged in the sash frame of one of the window leaves such that it is positioned between the two window sashes when the windows are closed.
  • the locking mechanism could easily also be used in connection with double doors or with window/door assemblies comprising any number of leaves or with window assemblies comprising a removable mullion.
  • FIGs 1 and 3 illustrate a locking device (101) according to the present invention in the locked position.
  • the locking device (101) comprises a base element (103), a sliding bolt (105) and an activating member (107).
  • the activating member can be rotated as illustrated by the arrow (109) from a first position (illustrated in fig. 1-4 , 5a ) which corresponds to a locked position of the locking device and into a second position which corresponds to an unlocked position of the locking device (illustrated in fig. 5c ).
  • the activating member is pivotally connected to the sliding bolt (105), which protrudes more from the base element in the locked position than in the unlocked position.
  • the sliding bolt is upon rotation of the activating member from the first position to the second position slid downwards inside the base element as illustrated by arrow (111).
  • FIGs 2 and 4 illustrate exploded views of the locking device of figure 1 and 3 .
  • the base element (103) comprises a sliding rail (201) and a guiding track which is made up of two support surfaces (401 a, 401 b).
  • the sliding track runs along the base element and comprises a number of parallel flanges wherein the sliding blot (105) can be inserted.
  • the sliding bolt can thus be displaced along the sliding track from the locked position where a part of the sliding blot protrudes from the base element to the unlocked position where the sliding bolt is arranged inside the base element.
  • the base element can be secured to the sash frame of a window leaf by a number of screws or nails inserted through a number of securing holes (204) in the base element and the sliding bolt comprises oblong openings (206) which allow the sliding bolt to be displaced around the screws or nails.
  • the activating member (107) comprises an activating lever (205) with a securing flange (208) and a cam (207) having a cam surface (216) arranged between and supported by the two support surfaces (401a, 401b) of the guiding track, and a pivot (210) pivotably connected to the sliding blot through a hole (209) in the sliding bolt and a nut (211).
  • the cam surface is arranged to rotate on the support surfaces and thus the centre of rotation of the cam is displaced along the guiding track and the pivot is arranged offset to the center of the cam and would therefore be displaced, as illustrated in figure 5a, 5b and 5c , as the sliding bolt can only move along the sliding rail.
  • the sliding bolt is therefore forced to move along the sliding rail upon rotation of the activating member.
  • the locking device further comprises a resilient friction spring (213) arranged between the sliding bolt and the sliding rail in a recess (215) in the sliding bolt.
  • the friction spring would align the sliding bolt in the sliding rail and thereby reduce play and increase the friction between the sliding blot and the sliding rail whereby the sliding bolt would move more smoothly in the sliding rail.
  • the resilient friction spring could be embodied as a curved piece of metal or plastic or as an elastic material.
  • Figure 5 illustrates how the sliding bolt would be displaced upon rotation of the activating member; where figure 5a illustrates the locking device in the locked position, figure 5b an intermediate position and figure 5c the unlocked position.
  • the locking device is arranged at the top (illustrated as to dotted line 501) of a sash frame of a first window leaf which is closed and the activating lever (205) protrudes outwards of the sash frame in the locked position in fig 5a .
  • the sash frame of the other window leaf is in figure 5c open, and its front edge (503) would as illustrated in figure 5b push to the securing flange (208) of the activating lever (205) when it is being closed.
  • the activating member is hereby forced to rotate around an axis of rotation (505,) which in the illustrated embodiment runs through the center of the cam (207), and since the cam is arranged between the two support surfaces (401a, 401b) of guiding track illustrated as dotted lines (507a) and (507b), the axis of rotation (505) would be displaced along the horizontal line (509) in between the support surfaces as illustrated by arrow (511a).
  • the pivot (210) would at the same time be forced to move along a vertical axis as illustrated by arrow (513) because the sliding bolt can only move alone the sliding rail, and the sliding bolt is therefore forced to protrude from the base element and sash frame.
  • the securing flange (208) is in the locked position illustrated in figure 5a aligned with the front edge (503) of the other window sash and would thus lock the activating member in the locked position because the activating member cannot be rotated as long as the window leaves are closed.
  • the axis of rotation (505) has furthermore passed the vertical axis along which the pivot can be displaced and the sliding bolt is hereby arranged in a self locking position.
  • the securing flange and the self locking position automatically secure the double window when the window leaves are closed and the locking device hereby e.g. prevents a burglar from using a sharp object to open the window.
  • the locking device is further positioned between the two window leaves and is therefore very discreet and does not ruin the aesthetic impression of the double window assembly.
  • the cam surface further comprises two stop surfaces (515a and 515b) formed as linear portions of the cam surface.
  • the stop surfaces would prevent the activating member from rotating 360 degrees.
  • the stop surface (515a) would thus prevent the activating member from rotating clock wise when positioned in the unlocked position in figure 5c and the stop surface (515b) would prevent the activating member form rotating counter clockwise when positioned in the locked position in figure 5a .
  • the guiding track was arranged as a slot in the base element and the activating member comprised a tap which was displaceably and rotatably arranged in said slot.
  • a sliding element was displaceably arranged in a groove in the base element and the sliding element had a pivot to which the activating member was pivotably attached.
  • Many other examples are also possible.
