Patent number: 10648195Abstract: A low profile actuating window lock for casement windows having a longitudinal slot in a sidewall of the casing for the lock, wherein a fork component translates within the slot in a direction perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the handle and the handle rotates along a plane perpendicular to the fork component, the handle pivotable about a restrictor arm that pivots relative to the casing, allowing the handle to rotate fully from the locked position to the unlocked position with low clearance from the window frame. The pivot points of the handle and restrictor arm configuration allow for an over center linkage that prevents back driving the casement window lock.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Interlock USA, Inc.Inventors: Peter J. Minter, Mathew D. Ruspil

Patent number: 9260893Abstract: The invention relates to a window lock having a trigger and a bolt, the trigger being rotatable about an axis of rotation and the bolt being movable between a locked position, a first unlocked position and a second unlocked position. The bolt also includes a clip that engages first and second stops. The trigger rotates about the axis for engaging and disengaging the clip with the first and second stops. The first and second stops and the clip are all located on the same side of the axis of the trigger.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Interlock USA, Inc.Inventor: Mathew D.

Publication number: 20100083714Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic lock for a window comprising a button having a locked position and an unlocked position, a spring clip in contact with the button for holding the button in the unlocked position, and a trigger wheel. The lock also has a trigger housing with an activated position and a deactivated position, and where the trigger wheel is attached to and rotatable on the trigger housing. Movement of the trigger housing causes the trigger wheel to move and contact the spring clip. Additionally, contact between the trigger wheel with the spring clip causes the spring clip to move and allow the button to move from the unlocked position to the locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Garth C. Keighley, Mathew D. Ruspil

Publication number: 20100084875Abstract: The invention relates to a lock for a window having a button and a spring for biasing the button to move from an unlocked position to a locked position; a spring clip in contact with the button for holding the button in the unlocked position; a trigger for engaging with the spring clip to release the button and allow the spring to move the button toward the locked position; a hook for moving from an unlocked position to a locked position in correspondence with the button moving from the unlocked position to the locked position; and a rotatable arm with one end attached to the button and another end attached to the hook, the rotatable arm for transmitting a movement of the button to a movement of the hook. A magnet is attached to the trigger and the magnet is moved, which in turn actuates the trigger, by a polarity of another magnet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2008Publication date: April 8, 2010Applicant: INTERLOCK USA, INC.Inventors: Garth C.
