Abstract: A non-handed actuator for window locks, including a base securable to the window frame, a handle secured to the base for pivoting about a first axis through an angle of approximately X degrees, an oppositely extending drive link secured for pivoting with the handle, and a connecting link securable to the lock control member of a window lock. The connecting link is pivotable relative to the drive link and includes a spacing member and a connecting member. The connecting member is securable to the lock control member and pivotable relative to the spacing member between limit positions approximately 180 degrees apart. Tabs on the spacing member abut the connecting member when the connecting member is at either of the limit positions, with the connecting link being pivotable relative to the drive link through an angle of approximately 2X degrees, where X is between 140 and 180.

Abstract: A lockable window, and a manual control for a lockable window. The window includes a window sash having a first locking member and a window frame having a second locking member mounted thereon for movement between a locked position cooperating with the first locking member for locking the sash to the frame when closed against the frame and an unlocked position clear of the first locking member to allow movement of the sash relative to the frame. The frame also has an opening therein for allowing access to the second locking member from an interior side of the frame. The lock control has a housing including an enclosure open on one side with a flange around the open one side, the housing being mounted with its enclosure substantially in the frame opening and its flange on the interior side of the frame. A handle is pivotally secured in the housing enclosure and includes an opening at one end.
