Definitions

  • a window assembly includes a window pane, which is pivotable about a transverse axis, and releasable means which at a position intermediate in the range of pivotal movement restricts only further pivotal movement of the pane away from its closed position and at a second position restricts pivotal movement of the pane in both directions.
  • the invention relates to windows and window assemblies.
  • the invention provides a window assembly comprising two upright side frame members or jambs, a window pane extending between the side members and attached thereto for pivotal movement about a transverse axis at or adjacent to the centre of the height of the pane and releasable means for restricting rotation of the pane beyond a sloping position oblique to the frame members and intermediate in the range of pivotal movement, the releasable means being arranged to restrict rotation beyond one position as aforesaid and to hold the pane in another position of rotation.
  • the range of pivotal movement is approximately 360 and the locking means are arranged to hold the pane in two positions.
  • positions may be altered to suit the required design of the window but it is preferred that these positions are either about 150 or about 140 apart.
  • the pane slopes at about 15 of opening (i.e. the pane slopes at about 15 to the vertical with the bottom edge on the outside of the window) when in the first mentioned position.
  • the pane slopes at about 20 of opening (i.e. the pane slopes at about 20 to the vertical with the bottom edge on the outside of the window) when in the first mentioned position.
  • This arrangement facilitates cleaning of both sides of the pane from within the building.
  • the upright frame members are of channel section with the mouths facing outwardly away from one another and the locking means are contained within one of the channels.
  • the channels may have weather beads as disclosed in British specification No. 726,345 and the sides of the pane may have resilient sealing strips (e.g. of pile fabric, brushes or formed plastic) and/or weather beads as on the blade clips in specification No. 726,345.
  • sealing strips or beads may be on the backs of glazing channels fitted to the side edges of a glass sheet.
  • the pivot bearings between the window pane and the side members may be constructed to provide a measure of frictional resistance to movement of the pane.
  • the invention further provides a composite window assembly comprising two upright frame members, two or more louvre blades extending between and pivotally attached to the frame members for pivotal movements about the central axes of the blades, operating means for effecting such pivotal movements of all the blades in unison, a pane, larger than the individual louvre blades, also extending between the frame members and pivotally attached to the members for swinging movement about its central transverse axis, said pane occupying a window space different from that of the louvre blades and being pivotable independently thereof, and releasable means for restricting rotation of the pane beyond a sloping position oblique to the frame members and intermediate in the range of pivotal movement, the releasable means being arranged to restrict rotation beyond one position as aforesaid and to hold the pane in another position of rotation.
  • the pane and the frame members may embody any or all of the features already described.
  • the frame members may be of channel form as aforesaid and one of these may house both the operating means for the louvre blades and the releasable means for the pane.
  • the releasable means may comprise a notched wheel or disc rotatable with the pane and a pawl on one of the upright side members engageable in the notches of the wheel or disc.
  • FIGURE 1 shows the assembly Within a surround frame, the window being in its closed position
  • FIGURE 2 shows the back of one of the upright side frame channel members, looking into the mouth of the channel, including one form of releasable means for restricting rotation of the pane beyond a sloping position oblique to the frame members and also locking means for holding the pane in its closed position; and
  • FIGURE 3 is a detail view of an alternative form of the releasable means.
  • the assembly comprises two glass louvre blades 10 held in end clips 11 pivotally attached to upright side channel frame members 12.
  • the arrangement is as described in British specification No. 726,345, including the weather beads and operating means for the louvres, with the difference that the operating bars (not shown) are extended downwardly to a handle (also not shown) accessible on the inside of the window and located just above the transverse pivoted axis of the window pane.
  • each channel 16 there is a longitudinal groove in which is held a resilient sealing strip for making sealing contact with the weather bead on its adjacent side frame member 12.
  • each channel 16 there is mounted a handle 20 which, when the pane is in its closed position, engages with a tongue 21 fixed to the adjacent frame member 12 and thereby locks the pane in this position.
  • Each tongue 21 is located such that it protrudes from its frame member 12 in a direction parallel to the pane 15, and enters a recess 22 between the handle 20' and its mounting 23 on the channel 16.
  • Each handle 20 may be pivoted in relation to its mounting 23 to effect release or engagement of the handle with the respective tongue 21.
  • Each channel 16 is received, at the cent-re of its length, within a shoe 24.
  • Each shoe 24 is rigidly attached to its respective channel 16 by moulding the shoe over and around two lugs which have been pressed from each wall of the channel and outwardly therefrom.
  • ea h shoe may be riveted to its respective channel.
  • Each of these shoes 24 has on its rear face, a central boss carrying a rotatable spigot (not shown) which passes through a hole in the base of the side cannel member 12.
  • Fitted on the spigot within the channel member 12 is a bearing ring of nylon which fits within a circular recess in a bearing block 28 secured within the side member 12.
  • the spigot centre is at 29.
  • the block 28 is split at 30 and a screw 32, accessible through a hole 31, is provided in the block for drawing the split parts together and so contracting the recess into frictional engagement with the nylon ring and providing stiffness in the rotational movement of the window pane.
  • the frame 12 is provided with releasable means for restricting rotation of the pane beyond a first position and for holding the pane in a second position.
  • These positions are at about 15 of opening (i.e. the pane slopes at about 15 to the vertical with the bottom edge on the outside of the window) and at about 150 from that position (i.e. the pane again sloping at about 15 to the vertical with the bottom edge on the outside of the window) but with the outer face of the pane adjacent the interior of the building.
  • the movement of the window is such that in the former position the bottom edge of the window may be closed without operation of the said releasable means but may not be opened further. This provision being provided for the combination of safety purposes and ease of operation of the window. In the latter position the window is held against movement in either direction.
  • a circular disc 46 with two notches 47 (defined by a lip 47a) and 48 for engagement with the free end 53 of an L-shaped lever 49.
  • This lever 49 is pivotally mounted at 50 to the block 28 and is held either in engagement with one of the notches 47 and 48 or with the periphery of the disc 46 by a spring 51.
  • a further lever 52 also pivotally mounted at 50 to the block 28, is provided for releasing the end 53 of the lever 49 from engagement with the notches 47 and 48 of the disc 46, the lever 52 being provided with a lug 54 which is located within a slot 55 provided in the lever 49.
  • the lever 52 is accessible at the outside of the channel 12 and is operable such that when the end 53 of the lever 49 is engaged with one of the notches 47 and 48, rotation of the lever 49 will effect disengagement of the lever 49 from the notch of the disc 46, the lever 49 at the same time depressing the spring 51. Return movement of the lever 52 is elfected by a spring (not shown).
  • the notch 47 is shaped such that when the free end 53 of the lever 49 is engaged therewith the disc 46 may be freely rotated in one direction but is held against movement in the other direction until the lever 49 is moved out of engagement with the notch by the lever 52.
  • the window is in the first of the two above-described positions and when the lever 49 is engaged with the notch 48 the window is in the second of the two above-described positions.
  • An alternative form of releasable means (see FIGURE 3) comprises a disc 60 rigidly attached to the spigot, the disc 60 having two diametrically opposed radial tongues of which one can be seen at 34 projecting through a slot in the end of the block 28.
  • a guide block 36 Secured within the channel 12 there is a guide block 36 of which the opposite edges 37 provide opposed guide channels.
  • a slide 38 is guided in these channels and has a notch 39 within which the lugs 34 may be received to lock the pane.
  • the slide is urged towards the lugs by a spring 4-0 acting through a link 41 pivoted to the slide and there is a release lever 42 having a fulcrum at 44 on the guide block 36 and a pivotal connection at 45 to the link.
  • the lever 42 like the lever 52 in the other form of releasable means, is accessible at the outside of the channel 12 and may be operated to withdraw the slide 38 from engagement with a lug 34 and so to release the pane.
  • both notches may be of the type 48 such that the window is securely held in both positions of opening and can only be released by operation of the release lever 52.
  • the disc 46 may be provided with a plurality of notches, some of which may be of the type 47 and some of which may be of the type 48.
  • the blocks 38 and 36 may be made in one piece. Further, the link 41 may be omitted, the spring acting directly on the slide and the lever 42 engaging the slide with a cam action.
  • a window assembly comprising two upright side frame members, a window pane extending between the side members and attached thereto for pivotal movement about a transverse axis at the centre of the height of the pane, and releasable means for restricting rotation of the pane at at least two positions in the range of pivotal movement, the releasable means, in respect of the first position which is intermediate in the range of pivotal movement, restricting only further pivotal movement of the pane away from its closed position and, in respect of the second position, restricting pivotal movement of the pane in both directions.
  • a window assembly as claimed in claim 1 in which the range of pivotal movement is approximately 360' and the releasable means restrict rotation of the pane in two positions.
  • a window assembly as claimed in claim 1 in which separate releasable means are provided for holding the pane in its closed position.
