Definitions
- This invention relates to a fastener and more particularly a fastener of the type used for fastening a closure such as a window in a closed position.
- Window fasteners of a type having a pivotally movable handle with a tongue which can engage on a wedge element are known.
- the fastener will generally be fastened to the window sash and the wedge to the window frame.
- Such fasteners are commonly referred to as wedge fasteners.
- a further form of window fastener which has proved to be extremely popular is the so-called wedgeless fastener.
- This fastener relies on a movable flap to overlap the edge of the window frame when the sash is in the closed position. The flap is secured in this overlapping position by a tongue of the handle and thereby secures the sash in a closed position.
- the advantage of this form of fastener is that it is not necessary to have a separate wedge element, nor the associated time taken to fit a wedge to the window frame and furthermore, ensure that the wedge is in the correct position for co-operation with the tongue of the fastener.
- a window fastener including a lever handle rotatably mounted to a base, and selectively movable to a closed position, an open position and a venting position, a flap pivotally coupled to the base, a drive element movable by the lever handle to cause the flap to move from a closed position to an open position as the handle is moved from its closed position to the open position, a retainer element movable to a retention position in response to movement of the lever handle to retain the flap in an open position when the handle is moved to the venting position, the lever handle including a first tongue for maintaining the flap in the closed position of the flap and a second tongue engageable, in use, with a window frame when the lever handle is in the venting position.
- the lever handle includes a mounting section with which the first and second tongues are attached.
- the first and second tongues are preferably longitudinally spaced apart relative to an axis of rotation of the handle and extend from the mounting section in substantially opposite directions.
- the second tongue includes a contact surface made of a material which will not cause damage to the window frame.
- the drive element and the retainer element are mounted for relative movement therebetween in a lost motion manner.
- the drive element includes a cam surface which is engageable with a follower, the follower is coupled to the flap whereby in use the engagement between the cam surface and the follower effects movement of the flap.
- the retainer element includes a flap stop which is engageable with the follower and prevents the flap from moving from its open position.
- a stop element projects from the flap stop and is located in a groove in the base and is moveable to contact with one or other of the ends of the groove.
- the drive element includes a pair of spaced apart surfaces between which is located a projection coupled to the retainer element whereby relative movement between the drive element and retainer element will result in the projection coming into contact with one or the other of the spaced apart surfaces.
- the drive element can be an annular element with a projection extending from the external periphery thereof, the projection being adapted to engage with a follower which is drivingly coupled to the flap, the annular element being coupled to a spigot of the handle such that rotation of the handle relative to the base causes the peripheral projection to engage with the follower.
- the retainer element can be an annular body rotatably mounted on the drive element, the retainer element has a flap stop which is adapted to engage with the follower to cause the flap to remain in the open position, the retainer element has a first engagement element located between spaced apart engagement surfaces of the drive element whereby respective of the said engagement surfaces can drivingly come into contact with the first engagement element depending on the direction of relative rotation between the drive element and retainer element.
- the retainer element includes a lug which projects from the flap stop and is located between end stops of the base whereby upon the lug coming into contact with an end stop following movement of the drive element and retainer element together relative movement between the drive element and retainer element can occur.
- the drive element and retainer element are coupled to a spigot mounting of the handle, the spigot mounting in turn being rotatably coupled to the base.

- the wedgeless fastener according to the present invention is based on the wedgeless fastener construction as described and claimed in New Zealand patent 500423.
- the fastener therefore includes a lever handle 1 0 formed by a lever 1 1 and a boss or mounting section 1 2. Projecting from the boss section 1 2 is a tongue 1 3.
- the lever handle 10 is pivotally mounted to a base or chassis 14. To this base 14 is pivotally coupled a latching tongue or flap 16.
- a cover 1 7 is engaged over the base 14. This is primarily for aesthetic purposes e.g. it provides a more pleasing appearance to the base portion of the fastener.
- the cover 1 7 covers the fasteners which are engaged through the openings 18 in the base 14. The fasteners fasten .the base to the window sash.
- the fastener is therefore largely of the construction as described in New Zealand patent specification 500423, the content of which is herein incorporated by specific reference.
- a spigot 1 2a (see Figure 32) of the boss 1 2 engages through an opening 1 9 in the base 14.
- This spigot 1 2a is engaged with a cam washer 20 which engages in a shaped recess 21 in the underside of the base 14.
- the cam washer 20 has a turret 22 the distal stepped end 22a of which rotatably engages in the bore 1 9. .
- the middle stepped portion 22b of the turret 22 is provided with a pair of spaced apart shoulders 36 that function, as hereinafter described, as an internal stop/driver for the stop washer 30.
- the stop washer 30 is essentially an annular element 31 which has projecting from its external periphery a flap or wedge stop 32. Substantially opposite the flap stop 32, but projecting from the internal periphery of the annular ring 31 , is a lug or projection 33. Projecting from the underside of the flap stop 32 is a stop element 34.
- the stop washer 30 is placed on the turret 22 so that it engages against surface 37 of the cam washer 20.
- a headed fastener (not shown) is inserted (shank first) through the centre opening through the cam washer/stop washer assembly to engage in a bore 1 2c ( Figure 32) in the spigot 1 2a of the boss 12.
- the cam washer 20 is coupled to the lever handle 10.
- the cam washer 20 thus retains the boss 12 on the base 14.
- the fastener has a head which locates in the mouth 23 of the cam washer.
- the tongue 13 is formed as part of or mounted directly to the boss form 1 2.
- the tongues 1 3 and 28 are substantially in an opposed outwardly directed position. Tongue 13 is disposed such that it comes into contact with the flap 1 6 as the lever handle 10 is moved back into the closed and latching position. Consequently, the tongue 1 3 moves the flap 16 into the position shown in Figures 1 -3 whereby the flap 1 6 will overlap with the edge of the frame of the window and thereby hold the sash (to which base 14 is mounted) in the closed position.
- the purpose of the second tongue 28 is to provide a venting function.
- the lever handle 1 0 can be moved from the position shown in Figures 1 to 3 to the position shown in Figures 5 and 6 where the flap 16 has been moved by the cam washer 20 to the open position. In this position of handle 10 the window sash can be moved to an adjusted open position relative to the window frame. This is in accordance with the window fastener of New Zealand patent specification 500423.
- the lever handle 1 0 can then be moved to the position shown in Figures 8 and 9 whereupon the second tongue 28 will overlap and via surface S will engage against the window frame. This enables the sash to be held in a vented position.
- the venting distance i.e. the distance the sash will be from the frame is effectively the distance indicated by the dimension D of Figure 8.
- the interaction of the stop washer 30 and the cam washer 20 thus provides, in a lost motion fashion, movement of the flap stop 32 so as to maintain a force on the follower 38 and thereby hold the wedge flap 16 in the open position when the handle is moved from the open position to the vented position.
- a compart operating mechanism is provided for control of the flap 1 6 and in such a way that the base 14 can be as compact in size as is required for a fastener to befitted to a window sash.
- Figure 32 shows a further embodiment of the invention where tongue 28 includes a pad 40 of a material (e.g. a plastics material) which is unlikely to cause damage to the window frame.
- the pad 40 is preferably a one piece moulded unit which has a contact surface 41 .
- the pad 40 is attached to the tongue 28 in a tongue and groove type attachment.
- a groove 42 is formed in the tongue 28 and a complementary shaped dovetail tongue 43 can be slid into the groove 42.
