Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved lock assembly, and a striking plate, for a ventilating window having a sash arranged to be openable with respect to a main frame by pivotal movement about an axis parallel to a pair of opposed sash members.
  • the lock assembly comprises a casing configured to be mounted on the sash, a locking arm, one end of the locking arm being pivotally connected to the casing and the other end of the locking arm being bent to form a pawl member extending at an angle with the rest of the locking, creating a bend in the locking arm, a locking mechanism arranged in the casing for turning the locking arm between a first position defining an unlocked position and a second position defining a locked position, and a striking plate having a base configured to be mounted against the frame, a rear side and an opposite front side, a wall at the front side having a locking face facing the rear side, a portion of the locking face defining an abutment area for a portion of the pawl member in the locked position.
  • EP 2 281 984 discloses a lock assembly as described above, for a ventilating window having a sash arranged to be openable with respect to a main frame by pivotal movement about an axis parallel to a pair of opposed sash members.
  • This lock assembly comprises a striking plate fixed to a main frame member opposite one of the pair of sash members and a casing fixed to one sash member opposite the striking plate.
  • a locking mechanism is arranged in the casing and the locking mechanism is operable by an operator member accessible from the inside of the window via an actuator slide displaceable in a slot in the casing between a first end position defining the unlocked position, a second end position defining the locked position and a third, intermediate position where the window is slightly open to achieve ventilation.
  • Two pawl members protrude through slots in the casing.
  • the pawl members come into engagement with a fixed striking plate whereby they are forced sideward and snap into their locked position.
  • the actuator slide is pulled half way back towards a first position by use of the operator member without the pawl members being displaced.
  • the lock assembly disclosed in EP 2 281 984 has an improved means for preventing intrusion, primarily in the area around the actuator slide by means of an added shield and has proven to be reliable, user-friendly and a generally very satisfying product with good burglar proof characteristics.
  • This object is achieved by providing a lock assembly for a ventilating window wherein the locking face defines a slideway for the aforementioned portion of the pawl member, the locking face extending towards the rear side in a direction away from the base.
  • the resistance of the lock to withstand to a large impact force without opening is substantially improved in that the force applied in the aforementioned manner will tend to result in an upward movement of the tip of the pawl member as it slides upwards on the locking face towards the base.
  • the locking wall has an inner abutment face inclined in the opposite direction which leads to a more disadvantageous deformation of the locking arm.
  • the tip of the pawl member including the aforementioned portion may extend at a right angle, or substantially at a right angle, with the rest of the locking arm. Also, at least a portion of the pawl member can be tapered as a result of the sides of the pawl member converging to the tip of the pawl member.
  • Figs. 1a and 1b shows schematically a conventional window assembly with a frame 1 and a sash 2, each having parallel opposite upright members and parallel opposite horizontal members.
  • Reference numerals 3 and 4 designate the upper horizontal members of the sash and the frame, respectively.
  • the window sash 2 has a window pane 5 and is pivotally mounted to the frame 1 by means of pivotal hinges, with an axis of rotation X parallel with the horizontal sash members and the horizontal frame members.
  • the hinges are located half way between the upper and lower horizontal members of the sash 2.
  • the window assembly as it would be mounted in an inclined building roof and with the window in the open position; the invention can be equally applied also to bottom or top hung window assemblies, including such mounted in a substantially vertical façade.
  • the frame 1 members and sash 2 members are for the major part wooden, although it is also possible to use metal members, or molded plastic members.
  • Fig. 1a shows the window assembly of a preferred embodiment as seen from the outside of a building while fig. 1b shows the assembly as seen from the inside of a building.
  • Fig. 1b shows a handle 8 mounted on the upper sash member 3, for opening the window defined by the sash 2 and the pane 5 and for opening a ventilation passage in the window sash 2.
  • fig. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view through the conventional window assembly of fig. 1a , provided with a prior art lock assembly as shown in eg. European Patent no. 2 281 984 .
  • a casing 10 of the lock assembly is secured to the upper sash member 3, and a striking plate 50' of the lock assembly has a base 52 which is mounted onto the frame member 4, such as by screws and fastening pins 56. Details of this prior art striking plate 50' are shown in fig. 3 .
  • FIG. 2 Shown schematically in fig. 2 is an operator arm 12 of the lock assembly which is secured to the aforementioned handle 8 which is hinged to the sash member 3 at hinge 9.
  • an actuator slide 16 is shown in the locked position in which the window is locked in relation to the frame 4 and cannot be opened without activating the lock assembly.
  • the lock assembly normally will include two locking arms 22 that are each provided with a pawl member 20 at one end.
  • the pawl members 20 extend through curved slots 18 in the casing 10, to project upwards from the casing 10 towards the frame member 4 with the striking plate 50.
  • the actuator slide 16 extends through a straight slot in the casing 10.
  • Fastening pins 14 are used for pivotally connecting the locking arms 22 to the casing 10.
  • fig. 4 shows parts of the lock assembly with an embodiment of the novel striking plate 50 according to the present invention seen in an inverted position for illustrative purposes.
  • Like numerals will be used herein to designate parts and features of the novel striking plate 50 that are also parts and features of the prior art striking plate 50' of fig. 3 ; the novel striking plate 50 may be largely similar to the prior art striking plate 50' of fig. 3 , but for the configuration of the locking faces 59 to be described further below.
  • Fig. 5 shows the locking arm 22 in greater detail.
  • the locking arm 22 is preferably made from plate material, in particular high tensile steel plate material.
  • the locking arm 22 comprises a substantially straight portion that is provided at one end with an aperture receiving a fastening/pivot pin 14 whilst the other end is bend over at a bend 39 to form the pawl member 20.
  • the pawl member 20 may be at an angle ⁇ with the remainder of the locking arm 22 in the range 115 and 120°, such as approximately 118°, which range of angles has been found to give good results for many purposes.
  • the outward surface at the tip of the pawl member 20 is formed with an abutment area 36 for abutment with the locking face 59 of the striking plate 50.
  • the pawl member 20 is preferably provided with narrow sides 38, as seen best in fig. 4 , that converge towards the tip of the pawl member 20 for facilitating entry of the pawl member 20 into a slot 51 of the striking plate 50. Entry of the pawl members 20 happen as the locking arms 22 turn about axis B while they are simultaneously moved with the sash towards the frame member 4 on turning the sash 2 about axis X to the closed position.
  • the portion of the pawl member 20 closest to the bend 39 may be profiled to improve the resistance of the pawl member 20 to be bend over when a large reaction force is applied to the abutment area 36 of the pawl member 20, as could happen when an intruder seeks to open the window by applying a force onto the sash member 3 to the right in fig. 5 .
  • the base 52 of the striking plate 50 is provided with a locking wall 58 on two of its corners, and has a rear side 63 opposite the locking wall 58.
  • the locking wall 58 has on the inside closest to the rear side 63 the aforementioned locking face 59 for abutment with the abutment area 36 of the pawl members 20.
  • Two slots 51 are defined for receiving the pawl members 20 between the guide face 62 arranged on a protrusion 61 and the locking wall 58.
  • the novel striking plate 50 provides a resistance against breakage of the lock assembly in that the locking face 59 is slanted backwards towards the rear side 63.
  • the novel striking plate 50 provides a resistance against breakage of the lock assembly in that the locking face 59 is slanted backwards towards the rear side 63.
  • the locking wall 58 has an inner abutment face 59' inclined in the opposite direction, as indicated very schematically by the dashed lines in fig. 5 , which will lead to a more disadvantageous deformation of the locking arm 22.
  • Shown in fig. 6 is an embodiment of the invention where the turning axis B of the locking arms 22 is slanted somehow in respect to the plane A of the window by angle ⁇ .
  • This has proven beneficial to accommodate for differently sized windows, i.e. windows where the distance between the upper and lower horizontal sash members 3 is relatively small. In such smaller windows, as the window is turned around axis X through a given angle the horizontal displacement of the sash member 3 and, hence, the locking arms 22, is relatively small compared to the displacement of the locking arms 22 of a larger window turned through the same angle.
