Abstract: This casement lock (1), notably for casement doors, French windows or the like, comprises essentially a casing (2) enclosing a mechanism for actuating a half-turn bolt, and one or a plurality of operating rods (5, 6) urged to their locking position by resilient means (9). This casement lock is further provided with damping means (14) for slowing down the operating rods (5, 6) during their return movement to the locking position under the action of the resilient means (9).

Abstract: This device for controlling the leaf (5) of a door or window opening to the outside comprises a casing (6) secured to the inner face of the sill (4) of the dormant frame (3) and adapted to house a crank-actuated mechanism for controlling the rotation of an operating arm (7) provided at its end with a roller (13) engaging a guide rail (15) secured to the leaf (5). Protection means (19) are provided for preventing the access to the operating arm (7), notably at the beginning and at the end of the opening and closing movements of the leaf. Locking means (42) are also provided for locking the leaf (5) in any angular position thereof with respect to the dormant frame (3).

Abstract: A locking device for doors, windows or the like includes a fixed element in which a movable element is slidably mounted. The movable element is configured for locking against rotation the square-section spindle or handle-bar to which the handle controlling the opening and closing of the door or window is fitted. Mechanism are provided to immobilize the movable element relative to the fixed element in both the locked position and the unlocked position of the locking device. The movable element includes catches or lugs adapted to engage openings formed in the fixed element. This locking device is adapted to be fastened to the jamb of the movable frame of a door or window, and more particularly between the movable frame and the square-section spindle of handle-bar.

Abstract: A hinge for doors or windows which includes a first blade fitted to a door or window and a second blade attached firmly to the casing of the door or window. One of these blades is provided with a central knuckle placed in the free space between two end knuckles attached firmly to the other blade, and one pin engaged in these knuckles ensures the free rotation of one blade as compared to the other. The aforesaid central knuckle comprises, furthermore, a pore that opens into one or more housings into which are engaged plugs provided with jaws fitted with catches that enter into peripheral grooves made in the pin. These jaws take the shape of a cylinder with an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the boring of the housings, less twice, at least, the thickness of the catches.

Abstract: A striker plate, particularly for doors, windows, or other closures. It includes a body having a bearing face which is adapted to be secured to the interior surface of the fixed frame of the closure and a lug provided with hooking surfaces cooperating with the rear surfaces of the hooking portion of the latch bolt secured to the closure. The striker plate is provided with a bidirectional adjustment mechanism interposed between the bearing face of the body and the interior surface of the fixed frame.

Abstract: This automatic double-action casement bolt comprises a pair of locking bars urged by resilient return means to a locking or bolting position in which the bars engage corresponding keepers, these bars being retracted from the keepers and moved to their unbolting position by a set of angular levers fulcrumed at their vertices on the casement bolt casing, each angular lever being connected through one arm to one of the sliding bars, each angular lever comprising, at the end of its other arm, a notch engageable by a catch of at least one control rod movable in a direction across the bars and formed integrally with an operating and control handle urged by other resilient means to its inoperative position, the notch of the other arm of each angular lever being formed in the edge of this arm so as to provide an open clearance of which the bottom constitutes a striking edge adapted, when the casement bolt is unbolted, to co-operate with the catch of the control rod.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a locking fitting, in particular for sliding casements of windows, doors or similar ports, that includes an assembly in a housing composed of a slide connected to a bolt for the purpose of locking the bolt in position and a locking device fitted with a pawl featuring at least one tooth and actuated by a grip integral with the slide and by a for controlling the locking device featuring a no-load run of the slide prior to moving the bolt.This locking fitting is characterized in that it comprises a blocking device with resilient pull-back that locks the bolt in its open position which is integral with the slide in shifting.

Abstract: This fitting for two-way opening windows or French-windows is adapted to be operated by means of a single handle for imparting to the fitting a locked position and two opening positions; the fitting is disposed between the fixed frame and the movable frame of the window and comprises on the one hand at least one locking member rigid with a control rod disposed on one of the frames and adapted to be moved through a distance corresponding to two successive pitches by actuating the handle, and on the other hand at least one keeper engageable by the locking member and disposed on the other frame, this keeper comprising locking means of which one component, the locking member or the keeper, is movable through a distance corresponding to one pitch of the movement performed by the control rod in the direction of travel thereof.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for providing the application of glue on preselected zones of a printed circuit, according to which provision is made for a tank containing liquid glue, and a series of push rods arranged at preselected positions, which first contact the glue in said tank, then deposit the drops of glue on a board for printed circuits.

Abstract: This invention provides a process and apparatus comprising at least one unit to grip a microcomponent arranged at the top opening of a stack of microcomponents inside the magazine according to which the presence of said microcomponent is checked by the gripping members and the electrical efficiency thereof is then tested. The apparatus comprises various units, each of which comprises at least one gripping member to selectively draw and deliver a single microcomponent; a control member to operate said gripping means; a sensor to sense the presence of the microcomponent if positioned in the gripping member which, in case, also carries on measures to check the efficiency thereof. Then, if required, the absence or the presence of a faulty microcomponent is signalled.

Abstract: Process and relative feeding device to provide small objects on a single plane, according to which in a series of magazines holding the stacked objects of different thicknesses and tolerances a differentiated operation pusher by adjustable stroke is caused to act upon one end of each of the magazines, whereas at the same time the opposite ends or free top openings of the magazines are closed by a stop device, the objects thus moving against the device; then moving the latter away from the openings and contacting the aligned external surface of the objects with the planar surface onto which the objects will be applied.
