  • Patent number: 10550618
    Abstract: A fitting assembly arranged between a fixed frame and a sash of a window or a door, comprises a fixed-frame-side support bracket, a sash-side support bracket, a scissor assembly as well as a spacer. The fixed-frame-side support bracket surrounds a fixed-frame corner of the fixed frame with a bearing leg and an additional support leg. The sash-side support bracket surrounds a sash corner of the sash with a bearing leg and an additional support-bracket leg. The spacer may either be arranged on the side of the additional support-bracket leg of the fixed-frame-side support bracket facing a first fixed-frame rebate face or on the side of the additional support-bracket leg of the sash-side support bracket facing a first sash rebate face. A scissor assembly supported on the bearing leg of the fixed-frame-side support bracket and on the bearing leg of the sash-side support bracket allows the sash to be rotationally and translationally moved with respect to the fixed frame.

  • Publication number: 20190376315
    Abstract: A lock for a closure element of a real estate property, includes a pivoting catch on which a spring acts in a preferred direction, a locking member, and a manual or mechanical drive device. The locking member is designed as a rotary locking member that is driven by the drive device in a circulating manner about a locking member axis in only one rotational direction and comprises multiple locking elements which are offset to one another over the angle at the circumference of the locking member and which interact with the pivoting catch as respective tumblers depending on the rotational angle. Only one of the locking elements constantly acts directly on the pivoting catch for a locking and unlocking process, and the adjacent locking element opposite the rotational direction of the rotary locking member acts on the pivoting catch by rotating the rotary locking member for a subsequent locking and unlocking process.

  • Patent number: 10501974
    Abstract: A fitting assembly for a window or door includes a leaf tiltable and detachable from, and slidable parallel to, the fixed window or door frame, and a control element with a fastener mountable permanently on the frame and an insertion part pivotable and slidable relative to the fastener. In an insertion position, in which a control pin is pushable into the insertion part, an insertion part end section lies preferably partially against the fastener for conducting away control pin-insertion part impact into the fastener via the end section. The insertion part may pivot out of interlocking engagement with the fastener by a control arm on which the control pin may be located or formed, such that subsequently the insertion part can slide via the control pin. The control element can have a freewheel mechanism for pivoting the insertion part only during fitting assembly opening and not during closing.

  • Patent number: 10267076
    Abstract: A connecting device, in particular for installing at least one opening stay on a window leaf has a rail, which can be guided as far as possible in the direction of the first longitudinal axis thereof into a groove of the connecting device. The groove engages at least in sections behind the rail. The blocking of the longitudinal displaceability of the rail in the groove is guaranteed at least counter to the first longitudinal direction by a projection connected to the rail, which projection engages in a recess in the region of the groove. The projection is held in the installed position of the connecting device by a spring element in the recess. A spring element is arranged on the rail preferably in a limited movable manner. Alternatively or in addition, the connecting device can comprise a cap which holds the projection in the installed position of the connecting device indirectly and/or directly at least partially in the recess.

  • Patent number: 5581941
    Abstract: The invention concerns a tilting-swinging roof window, in which the window sash (1) is held by two arms (3) mounted to pivot on the upper end of the casement (2). In the swinging movement, the window sash (1) is guided by swivel pins (12) slidable in grooves (9) on the side members (6) of the casing (2). In the tilted position, the sash (1) is tightly connected by the arms (3) to the upper end of the casement (2). The roof window is provided with an opening device, which, in the area of the longitudinal side members of the casement, requires little space, applies force to the window casing as uniformly as possible, and has parts which are largely integrated into existing components.

  • Patent number: 5581942
    Abstract: A connecting assembly for installing the sash of a house skylight to the sides of its casement, has connecting parts that can pivot relative to each other, and the casement has holding elements that have cross sections which will engage therewith. This assembly allows the window sash to be inserted from the interior rapidly and in a simple manner by engagement with the positioning arms on the casement. This is achieved by the connecting parts (3) having a U-shaped cross section (4), which accept swinging positioning arms (5) which serve as the holding elements, and these connections can be locked by self-engaging attachment elements (6) that can be engaged without tools.

  • Patent number: 5581945
    Abstract: A slide ventilation assembly for a roof window installation has a multiplicity of elongated walls defining an enclosed space with two of the walls extending at 90.degree. to one another, and a connector wall piece disposed between the adjacent ends of the two walls. The two walls have apertures spaced along the length thereof, and elongated ventilation slides are slidably mounted on them. The slides have apertures spaced along the length thereof and are slidable between a first position in which their apertures are aligned with the apertures in the walls. A connector connects the slides for concurrent movement thereof, and a manipulatable operator is provided to move the slides to effect alignment of the apertures in the slides with the apertures in the walls to allow air to pass through the walls and enclosed space.

  • Patent number: 5568702
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hinged, swinging skylight in which the sash can rotate and is carried by two arms arranged so they can swivel on the upper end of the casement. The sash is held in the swinging position by spindles that seat in grooves or channels on the side members of the casement and can move therein. In the hinged position, the sash is tightly connected to the arms. To increase comfort and improve operability, the grooves have no limits for the upper ends and the spindles are able to move longitudinally along the side rails of the sash by activating a handle in such a way that they are in the grooves in the swinging position and outside the grooves in the hinged position. At the same time, coupling elements are activated by the handle and are connected tightly to the arms in the hinged position of the sash, and this connection is released in the swinging position.
