  • Patent number: 8308204
    Abstract: An assembly for securing an openable aperture closure member (11) in closed position relative to an aperture defines by a main frame (12), the aperture closure member (11) including a mechanically rotational element (24, 44, 54) for securing said closure member (11) to the frame (12), the assembly for securing comprising a push and/or pull actuation assembly (35) for easing the securing and/or releasing process for the aperture closure member, the actuation assembly including a handle bar (26) and at least one connecting member (37) which operably connects the handle bar (36) to the mechanical element (24, 44, 54); wherein the push and/or pull actuation assembly (35) is adapted to be translationally movable by an operator and the connecting member (37) is adapted to convert translational movement of the actuation assembly (35) into rotational forcing movement of the mechanically rotational element (24, 44, 54).

  • Patent number: 8161684
    Abstract: An assembly for securing a hinged building window (11) in closed position relative to an aperature defined by a main frame (12). The assembly includes a compressible gasket disposed between the hinged building window (11) and the main frame (12) defining the aperature. The hinged building window (11) and the main frame (12) each includes a respective portion (20) of a magnetic means for securing the hinged building window said (11) to the frame (12), where the magnetic means for securing includes a two magnetic magnets that are magnetically attracted to one another.

  • Publication number: 20080265589
    Abstract: An assembly for securing an openable aperture closure member (11) in closed position relative to an aperture defined by a main frame (12). The assembly further includes a compressible gasket disposed between the closure member (11) and the frame (12) defining the aperture. Each of the aperture closure member (11) and the main frame (12) includes a respective portion (20, 42) of a magnetic means for securing said closure member (11) to the frame (12), wherein said magnetic means for securing includes a magnetic field in one portion (20) and a magnetically attractive portion (42), one of the magnetic field portion and the magnetically attractive portion being disposed on the openable closure member and thus being adapted to be movable by an operator with the openable closure member alternately into a magnetically attractive closure position and a magnetically unattractive opening position.
