Abstract
The invention provides retractable retaining elements (234), such as spring clips, on either the subframe or the window or door frame (200), which have to retract to allow the window or door frame (200) to be fitted, but which spring outwardly when the window or door frame arrives at its fully fitted position to retain that frame. In addition to the retaining element (234) there is a locking device (256), which is manually operably by turning and which, when operated, applies a locking force nullifying the resilience of the retaining element. Hence, the retaining element can be very pliant, to allow easy fitting of the window or door frame, but once the window or door frame is in position, the resilience is cancelled, so as to provide a rigid stop, preventing withdrawal of the window or door frame.
Claims
1. A method of retaining a functional (window or door) frame for a building in a subframe, in which there is a retractable retaining element on one of the functional frame and a subframe, which retaining element retracts during the insertion of the functional frame into the subframe to allow the relative motion between the retaining element and a protuberance on the other frame needed to allow the functional frame to arrive at its proper location in the subframe, characterised in that a locking force is applied to the retaining element after it has passed, or been passed by, the protuberance to hold the retaining element in a projected position, where it engages with the protuberance to prevent withdrawal of the functional frame from the subframe, the locking force being provided by a manually operable turning cam mechanism.
2. A method of retaining a functional frame for a building in a subframe as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that retraction of the retaining element during insertion of the functional frame into the subframe is obtained by compression of the retaining element against its inherent resilience.

. A method of retaining a functional frame for a building in a subframe as claimed in claim 3, characterised in that the cam mechanism is locked in - 77 -
