  • Patent number: 7774982
    Abstract: A turn-tilt window includes a blind frame and a leaf, which can be tilted in relation to the blind frame about a first axis (X axis) and turned about a second axis (Y axis), fittings, located between the leaf and the blind frame, for moving the leaf in relation to the blind frame, the fittings including at least one turn-tilt bearing, a rocker bearing, and a turn hinge. An electromechanical or electromagnetic functional element is associated with at least one of the rocker bearing and the turn hinge in order to control movement the leaf in relation to the blind frame. The functional element is controlled by a handle which is connected thereto via a wireless manner or by electric lines and is not connected to the functional element, the rocker bearing, or the turn hinge by any mechanical linkages.

  • Patent number: 7770943
    Abstract: A window or door including a circumferential blind frame and a leaf with a surface element is provided, which can be pivoted about one or more axes in relation to the blind frame, as well as including fittings, located between the leaf and the blind frame, which are used for moving the leaf in relation to the blind frame. Electromechanically actuated locking elements are provided for locking the leaf into the blind frame. Each locking element has its own electromechanical drive, and/or the locking elements are configured such that, when the window is closed, they are displaced in relation to the pane plane, thus pressing the leaf perpendicularly against the blind frame with a predetermined contact force.

  • Publication number: 20090139848
    Abstract: A window, in particular a turn-and-tilt window, comprises a window handle (2) that has a handle (4) for the manual movement, in particular rotation, of a window casement (3) of the window (1), wherein switching elements (19, 23, 24) are provided on the window (1) and/or window handle (2). According to the invention, the switching elements (19, 23, 24) are coupled to a control for actuating at least one peripheral device (6-17) arranged at a distance from the window (1). A central switching system for different peripheral devices (6-17) can thus be embodied on the window (1).

  • Publication number: 20070170729
    Abstract: The invention relates to a window comprising a window frame and a casement which can be displaced in relation to the window frame, mountings which are arranged between the casement and the window frame and which are used to displace the casement in relation to the window frame, and a handle which is disposed on the casement. The handle comprises control elements and/or sensors and a handle part which can be displaced, particularly rotated, on the casement in various positions of the handle which correspond to different operational positions of the casement. The handle is connected in a wireless manner or via electric lines to electromagnetic or electromechanical locking elements between the casement and the window frame, and/or to electromagnetic or electromechanical functions, in particular coupling elements for at least one or several mountings and/or to an electromechanical drive device which is used to open or close the casement.
