  • Patent number: 4887392
    Abstract: Apparatus for causing a rotatable actuator to effect unlocking of a window latch and then to swing the window sash open when the actuator is rotated in one direction. When the actuator is rotated in the opposite direction, it first causes the sash to swing closed and then causes the latch to lock and hold the sash in its closed position. In one embodiment, the actuator is effective to swing an arm and shift a slide for purposes of moving the sash and operating the latch. In another embodiment, the actuator rotates a lead screw which advances nuts for moving the sash and operating the latch.

  • Patent number: 4860493
    Abstract: A shaft of a window actuator is operable to open and close a casement window sash when the shaft is rotated either by a hand crank or by a motor from inside of the premises. The shaft is automatically locked against rotation if a backdriving force is applied to the actuator from outside the premises. This prevents an open sash from being buffeted by wind and from being pulled open further by a potential intruder.
