Definitions

• the invention relates to improvements in windows, comprising a casing and a so called doubl ⁇ link ⁇ d side- hung casement consisting of two window frames, each one of which has at least one windowpane mounted therein.
• Windows that are arranged to be turned in order to make their external face accessible from within a room often are pivot-hung, i.e. they are arranged for pivotal movement about horizontal shafts disposed in the casing. Often, this is a disadvantageous arrangement since part of the window, when pivoted, enters into the room where curtains and objects placed on the window sill interfere with the pivotal movement.
• the fitting consists of a pivotable arm mounted on the casement and of two essentially parallel articuled arms secured in respectively the pivotable arm and the casing.
• Guides positioned at one pair of the window corners travel in grooves formed in the casing.
• the subject invention suggests a device which may be mounted in conventional side-hung windows of the kind defined in the introduction hereto and which with the aid of a double hinge at the free longitudinal frame edge allows the external face of the window to be turned completely over.
• the characterizing features of the device are defined in the appended claims. The device is very easy to mount and is of a simple and inexpensive construction.
• Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a part of a window equipped with the device in accordance with the invention
• Figs. 2 and 3 are plan views of the two window frames of the casement in different positions of pivotement
• Fig. 4 is a horizontal cross-sectional view through the casing with a built-in window blocking mechanism
• Fig. 5 illustrates said blocking mechanism schematically in a different position.
• FIG. 1 The drawing figures illustrate a conventional window including a casing 1 in which is side-hung a casement 2 comprising two window frames 3, 4, each mounting a single windowpane 5, 6.
• the main component of the improved device in accordance with the invention is a fitting 7 which is pivotally supported on a casing-mounted hinge 8.
• the fitting 7 is secured on the inner longitudinal edge-side 9 of the two window frames 3, 4 by means of bolts or screws 10, the latter being of the kind having a head thereon.
• bolts or screws pass through their respective one of recesses 11 formed in the fitting 7 so as to penetrate into the window frames 3, 4.
• the bolts or screws 10 abut by means of their heads against the fitting 7 but are not tightened firmly against the latter.
• the recesses 11 extend in pairs and in opposite relationship, up to their respective one of the vertical edges 12 and 13, respectively, of the fitting 7.
• a locking member which in accordance with the illustrated embodiment consists of a spring- biased pin 14, 15 is arranged in each window frame 3, 4.
• the pins 14, 15 When in their outer, spring-actuated position, the pins 14, 15 extend through corresponding holes formed in the fitting 7, for the purposes of keeping the window frames 3, 4 in adjoining relationship and thus preventing them from being pulled apart.
• the window frames 3, 4 are interconnected by means of a double hinge 17.
• the device in accordance with the invention allows the window frames 3, 4 to be pulled apart in two ways.
• the bolts 10 in the window frame 4 may be disengaged from their associated recesses 11 and the window frame 4 be pivoted in the manner illustrated in Fig. 3, in which position the outer face of the window frame 4 is turned inwards, towards the window opening.
• the device in accordance with the invention thus makes it possible to pivot a basically conventional linked casement in a simple manner, allowing its external face to become accessible from the window opening, for instance for the purpose of cleaning the windowpane. Since the pivotal movement of the casement 2 is effected entirely outside of the window opening there is no need to take the trouble of pulling the curtains out of the way or removing plants or other objects from the window sill.
• the fitting 7 is equipped with a blocking mechanism.
• the latter comprises a pivotable arm 18, one end of which is hingedly mounted on the fitting 7 whereas its opposite end is provided with a locking pin 19, see Figs. 4 and 5.
• the blocking mechanism further comprises a rotatable spindle 20 in which a number of recesses 21 are formed.
• the rotatable spindle 20 may be turned clockwise by means of a knob 22 against the action of a spring 23.
• the rotatable spindle 20 preferably cooperates with a locking means of some kind, not illustrated in the drawing figures but having the function of blocking the rotatable spindle 20 in the position illustrated in Fig. 4 following complete turning of the knob 22 in the clockwise direction.
• This arrangement makes it easier to pivot the window from an open position to a closed position or vice versa, because there is no need to simultaneously use one hand to operate the knob 22.
• After closing or opening of the window the rotatable spindle 20 could be freed from its blocked position by simply turning the knob 22 in the opposite direction.
• the device in accordance with the invention is not limited to the embodiment illustrated and described in the aforegoing but could be varied in many ways within the scope of the appended claims. This is true as regards the design of the fitting as well as of the blocking mechanism.
