Abstract: A device with a door, in particular a door of a cooking appliance, supported for pivoting movement in a pivoting direction, for closing a useable space and with a guide system for at least partially lowering the door into a storage space in a guided manner, the device comprising at least one guide assembly operatively associated with the guide system and coupled to the door in a static manner in the pivoting direction and coupled to the door in a movable manner in at least one surface extension of the door.

Abstract: A window assembly including a frame having an interior portion with an inner surface, and a sash having an interior portion and an exterior portion. The window assembly includes an operational mode and a wash mode. In the operational mode, the sash is movable from a closed position to a position in which the sash is generally perpendicular with the frame. In the wash mode, the sash is movable to a position where the exterior of the sash faces toward the interior frame.

Abstract: A pair of metal disks having a central opening for receiving a fastener to sandwich the corners of a plurality of rectangular panels for the temporary erection of display partitions at a trade show, exhibition or entertainment event.

Abstract: A locking system for a window sash comprises a lock handle assembly, reciprocating rod members connected to the lock handle assembly, and rotatable cam assemblies connected to the rod members. Each cam assembly has a cam element which upon reciprocation of its respective rod element moves into and out of a cam keeper which is mounted on an adjacent window sash. Each rod member has a rod tip which moves into and out of a channel provided in the window frame. In a first operation of the lock handle assembly, the rod members are reciprocated inwardly to rotate the cam elements out of their respective cam keeper and to move the rod tips partially out of the frame channels which allows the window sash to be moved vertically within the channels. A further operation of the lock handle assembly moves the rod tips entirely out of the channels to allow the window sash to be tilted.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for windows having upper and lower sashes slidably disposed in a window frame. The mechanism has three modes, that is a locked mode, an unlocked mode and an auxiliary mode. In the locked mode at least one sash clamp mounted on a transverse rail of one sash engages a cooperating receiving element mounted to the adjacent transverse rail of the other sash, whilst a spring-biased pawl projects into a guide groove in the window frame. In the unlocked mode the sash clamp disengages the receiving element to allow the sashes to be slid relative to each other. In the auxiliary mode the spring-biased pawl is withdrawn from the guide groove to permit the sash to be moved transversely for cleaning.

Abstract: A window assembly having a window latch construction is disclosed. The window assembly comprises a window frame having parting bead mounted therein and a window sash having mounted thereon a parting bead cam rotatable from a first position to a second position. When the parting bead cam is in a first position, the window sash can slide vertically with respect to the window frame. When the parting bead cam is in a second position, the window sash can tilt angularly with respect to the window frame.

Abstract: A sliding window structure has a facility for swiveling a sliding window element about a vertical axis for cleaning purposes and the like. The window element may be released from top and bottom confining tracks to allow for pivoting thereof by lowering the bottom track using adjustment screws provided for this purpose. The window element is pivotally suspended from the top track by a pivot pin threaded into a roller carriage received in the top track.

Abstract: Presented is a window construction of the sliding window type that includes one or more panes slidable to open or close the window opening, each of the panes being pivotal in addition to being slidable to provide access to both sides of the window pane to facilitate cleaning of both sides of the glass pane from the inside of the room.

Abstract: A structural panel, such as a window or door sash which is mounted for horizontal sliding movement between a pair of tracks forming its frame and which is pivotable about a vertical axis extending through a pair of apertures in the tracks. The sash is supported for movement along the tracks by respective carriers located adjacent each corner of the sash. The sash includes releasable locking means located within one stile and a pair of pivot assemblies located in the other stile. Each pivot assembly includes a rod which is extendable vertically through an aligned carrier and into the aperture in the associated track. The carrier into which the rods extend includes a rotatable mount to enable the sash to be pivoted out of the frame when the releasable locking means is released.
