  • Patent number: 8051604
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge/tilt window with a window frame and a casement with a casement frame that can be tilted about a horizontal rotational axis (X) and about a vertical rotational axis in relation to the window frame. The window also includes a hinge/tilt shank for opening and closing the casement. The hinge/tilt shank has a main arm that is hinged on the casement frame for tilting the casement and a gear with multiple articulations that is hinged on the main arm and the window frame in order to rotate the casement about the vertical rotational axis. A drive device, which is driven by an electric motor, includes a feed chain for opening the casement into a tilted position and for closing the casement from the tilted position.

  • Publication number: 20060080911
    Abstract: A mounting unit for a window or a door including a frame and a leaf mounted on the frame. The leaf is movable from a closed position by at least one curved guiding mechanism into a parallel knockout position and the leaf is pivotable from the parallel knockout position about a vertical axis into a rotary opening position. At least one upper horizontal guiding mechanism is provided on a top side of the leaf and at least one lower horizontal guiding mechanism is provided on a bottom side of the leaf to guide the leaf. In a closed position of the leaf, the at least one upper and the at least one lower horizontal guiding mechanisms are arranged inside the frame. The at least one upper and the at least one lower guiding mechanisms are each linked about the vertical axis to the frame and the leaf.

  • Patent number: 5974985
    Abstract: A table with a frame, a table plate and at least three table legs, whose table legs as well as optional desk accessories such as a telephone holder or a working lamp may be fastened onto the frame in a slot. The table legs or desk accessories are preferably inserted into the slot through an adapter. The table frame may be formed from frame sections connected to each other by means of corner connectors. Onto the frame a slidable and tiltable carrier for a computer monitor can be mounted. Individual tables can be connected to each other by connectors.

  • Patent number: 4928428
    Abstract: A housing outlet comprises an inner closure frame provided with a C-shaped receiving groove and having a plurality of sections and a locking bar assembly having a single handle and a plurality of locking bars which are slidably supported in the receiving groove. The locking bars have a U-shaped cross section with two legs having side grooves extending over the full length of the legs and limited by a lower web having a thickness of S1 and an upper web having a thickness of S2. The receiving groove has a height H.sub.1 which is greater than the height H.sub.2 of the locking bar by the thickness S1 of the lower web. The receiving groove and the locking bar have a cross-section which is the same in all sections of the closure frame. The receiving groove has an inwardly extending edge strip, which has a height H3 smaller than the height N of the side grooves.

  • Patent number: 4790583
    Abstract: An actuating handle arrangement for the actuation of fittings of a window casement or a door leaf includes an actuating handle which is mounted for turning about a turning axis on a housing which is secured to a window casement or door leaf frame. The actuating handle operates a pusher bar fitting which is coupled with an entraining member of a slide which is mounted in the housing for displacement in the longitudinal direction. The slide is provided with a guiding groove, in which there engages an entraining pin of an eccentric which is connected with the actuating handle. In the end positions of the actuating handle which correspond to the closing and the tilting position of the window casement, the line connecting the intersection point of the turning axis and the intersection point of a central axis of the entraining point with an imaginary plane along which the slide moves extends at right angles to the central longitudinal axis of the guiding groove.
