  • Publication number: 20220154507
    Abstract: A fitting arrangement for a leaf of a sliding window or door that can be moved away in parallel, includes a control unit having a mounting part for fixing on the leaf and an adjusting part which is displaceable relative to the mounting part for moving the leaf away in parallel. A movement unit is fastened to the control unit and has an energy storage device and an activation element for the energy storage device. A closure arrangement for a building opening, includes a frame, the control unit and the adjusting part. The leaf which, in a closed position, can, by means of the control unit, be brought up to the frame and be moved away from the frame in parallel, so the leaf is displaceable along a guide rail of the frame. The movement unit supports an automatic movement of the leaf along the guide rail.

  • 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: 10077594
    Abstract: A displacement arrangement for displacing a sliding leaf of a window or a door relative to a fixed surround of the window or the door in a direction which is transverse relative to a main plane of the window or the door includes an actuation mechanism arranged on the leaf that is movable with at least one portion in a circumferential direction of a rebate, a first control element arranged on the portion of the actuation mechanism and a second control element arranged on a guiding member, where the guiding member is guided on a fixed surround and arranged on the leaf to be movable transversely relative to the circumferential direction of the rebate.
