Abstract

A device is arranged to selectively open and close a window and activate a fan. The device comprises a housing 11 containing an actuator, a fan and a signal receiver. The device is operable in response to signals from a gas sensor and a remote control to drive the actuator to open or close the window and to activate or deactivate the fan. The window is opened and the fan activated on detection of a gas, for example a poisonous or explosive gas. The window and fan can also each be controlled using the remote control. The actuator may comprise a linear actuator using a compression spring which operates an L-shaped lever 10, or a push-pull chain (figure 9). An alarm may also be provided when the gas is detected.

Description

DESCRIPTION
THE HINGING SASH ACTUATING GAS EXTRACTOR
An electrically powered extractor fan combined in a housing with a signal receiver & a sash operating mechanism which opens or closes the hinging member (5) of a window when adjacently attached to the static frame (6). Figure 1. illustrates a sloping window installation, whereas figure 6 shows a vertical window installation, which is modified with an additional right angle mounting bracket (15) and a bigger housing (11).
The window opening mechanism & extractor fan are automatically controlled by the signal receiver, which responds to the signal transmissions of a remote gas detector, or a hand held remote control.
When gas is detected, the signal receiver always prioritizes the gas alert signal, opens the window & activates the extractor fan. This results in rapid extraction of dangerous gas & reduces the risk to occupants from poisonous gas inhalation, or explosion.
Unless the fan or window opening mechanism have responded to gas alert, either the fan or window mechanism are operable by remote control. The extractor fan intakes and expels gas or air through perforated vents in the housing (16. in figure 1). Air flow direction in & out of the housing is shown by arrows in figures 5 & 6.
The preferred window operating mechanism comprises a base plate (1) (also perforated), which is screwed to the static window frame, or to a right angle mounting bracket (15), as in fig. 6. The cross flow tangential fan (20) is mounted within the housing on top of the window' actuating mechanism which is attached to the base plate. The signal receiver (12) is mounted to the inside of the housing (11).
Unless another type actuating mechanism is fitted, such as the push pull chain actuator (see figs. 7 & 9), the window opening mechanism comprises an L shaped cranked sash operating lever (10) herein termed the craiik' driven by an electrically powered linear actuator (15), & describes a quadrant arc in connection with a linear slide (13) attached to the opening sash. The crank (10) is mounted on a spindle bolt (7) attached in an upright position to the base plate. Rotation at this fulcrum is made by a spherical plane bearing (9) driven into the crank's elbow drilling, which allows for slight changes in its rotational axis. The shorter crank leg is driven by an articulating pin linkage (14) connected with the fork ended moving member of the tubular electric liii ear actuator. 2.
The linear actuator's opposite end is anchored within a spherical plane bearing (8) contained by a bearing housing (2) attached in an upright position to the far end of tile base plate (1).
Whilst tile crank's shorter leg is driven by the linear actuator, the crank's longer leg (see fig. 2) moves through an arc out of the housing slot provided (see figs. 2 & 6) from a position folded within the housing to it's fully extended position perpendicular to the sash. Further movement is prevented by electrical limit switches within the linear actuator at both ends of its travel. The arc's radius described by the longer crank leg is synonymous with the sash's maxi mum opening di stan cc.
The anchored end of the linear actuator incorporates a spring loaded buffer assembly (see fig. 5). This comprises a compression spring (17) sleeved over the actuator's end shaft, held in tension between the actuator's body end face & the spherical plane bearing (8) by the actuator end shaft nut (18). Resistance in the sash closing movement is opposed by the compression spring, causing the actuator end shaft to push back against spring tension a nominal distance though the spherical plane bearing in which it may loosely slide back & forth. The effect of the buffer assembly is to absorb increased resistance periodically encountered by the closing movement, whilst also adding a mechanical incentive to the beginning of the opening movement. 3.
