  • Patent number: 11851914
    Abstract: A fitting arrangement for a sliding window or a sliding door has an actuating mechanism that can be arranged on a sliding sash and that is movable at least with a portion in the rebate circumferential direction, and a first control element that is arranged on the portion of the actuating mechanism, and a second control element that is arranged on a transverse slide. The transverse slide has a locking element, and the control elements interact and are tailored to one another in such a way that, upon a movement of the portion in the locking direction, the locking element is moved away from the sliding sash perpendicularly to a main plane of the sliding window or of the sliding door.

  • Publication number: 20230383583
    Abstract: A pressing device has a roller part, a control part and a fastening part. The pressing device can be mounted to a leaf of a window or door. The roller part is movable in the mounted state of the pressing device, in particular, vertically relative to the control part. The control part is movable horizontally to the fastening part in a positively controlled manner. A spring element is provided between the control part and the roller part in order to subject the roller part, in addition to the force of gravity, to a downwardly directed spring force, i.e., towards the running rail.

  • Publication number: 20230366251
    Abstract: A fitting arrangement for a window or a door has a drive bar with a through-hole. A control pin and/or a counter element of the fitting arrangement is/are passed through the through-hole and connected to one another such that the control pin is captively retained on the drive bar. The control pin is preferably connected to the counter element without the use of tools. Particularly preferably, a spring element is provided which latches the control pin by pressing the control pin and the counter element axially together. The spring element can be designed in the form of a circlip which, in the not yet assembled state, is arranged on the control pin or the counter element.

  • Publication number: 20230193677
    Abstract: A carriage has a wing part which can be fastened to a wing and a roller part which is displaceable on a running rail. The wing part is displaceable in a positively controlled manner transversely to the running rail. The roller part has a height-adjustable roller upper part. The vertical adjustability of the roller upper part with respect to a roller holder of the roller part is achieved by means of an adjusting element which is displaceable by means of an adjusting screw. The adjusting element is preferably supported with at least one adjusting element bevel on a pendulum axle of the running roller holder and/or on an upper part bevel of the roller upper part.

  • Patent number: 11428033
    Abstract: A pre-assembled fitting group for a window or door has a drive rod portion, which is movable in the rebate circumferential direction, a first control element, and a second control element which is arranged on a cross slide. The first and the second control elements cooperate and are coordinated with one another in such a way that a displacement of the first control element by the drive rod portion causes a displacement of the cross slide. A guide part that can be fixedly mounted on the sash, wherein the cross slide is at least partially movable relative to the guide part.

  • Patent number: 11085216
    Abstract: A displacement arrangement for moving a window sash or a door leaf has a control part which is displaced by an actuating device relative to a guide part which can be mounted fixedly on the sash/leaf. A first control projection is provided between the control part and actuating device and engages in a first control slot of the control part and engages in a first guide slot of the guide part. The first control projection has a first rolling bearing for bearing on the first guide slot. The first control projection can have a second rolling bearing for supporting on the first control slot. A supporting rolling bearing can be provided between the guide part and the control part. The displacement arrangement allows the generation of a high contact pressure of the sash/leaf on the fixed frame under moderate operating forces and thus good sealing of the window or the door.

  • Publication number: 20200392776
    Abstract: A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.

  • Publication number: 20080058767
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cannulator that has an adjustable shape for conforming to an anatomy to reach the tubal ostium of a patient. The cannulator includes a body segment, a tip section, and a handle. The body segment is made of a malleable material having a malleable characteristic with a degree of resistance to lateral deflection until sufficient force is applied to cause permanent bending thereby imparting a shape to the body segment. The tip section is positioned at a distal end of the body segment and the handle is positioned at a proximal end of the body segment.
