  • Patent number: 5448857
    Abstract: An apparatus for selectively securing a window sash to a window frame, including a longitudinally extending jamb liner secured to the frame adjacent one side of the sash, and a movable cam between the frame and the liner for selectively adjusting the spacing therebetween. Frictional locking surfaces are provided between the liner and the sash whereby the cam in a locking configuration biases the liner away from the frame and thereby against the sash to frictionally lock the sash against movement relative to the liner. The liner defines a portion of the track guiding the sash for substantially planar movement and the cam may also be selectively moved to a releasing configuration allowing the liner to sufficiently approach the frame to allow the sash to be cleared from the liner.

  • Patent number: 5301989
    Abstract: A latch for selectively connecting a sash of a double-hung window to a slide track in a window frame, including a lever including a gear at one end, a latch housing mountable to the sash, the housing including means for pivotally supporting the lever, and a locking member movable between a locked position securing the sash to the track and an unlocked position releasing the sash from the track. The locking member includes a tongue projecting from the latch housing when the tilt latch is in the locked position and lying within the latch housing when the tilt latch is in the unlocked position, and a rack engaging the lever gear to move the locking member to locked and unlocked positions in response to pivoting of the lever. The lever gear includes a disk formed along one side, and the locking member includes a channel along the rack receiving the disk during pivoting of the lever.
