Abstract
A multipoint lock including a pivoting lock bolt including a fixed pivot point and a sliding pivot point, a translating lock bolt, a linkage coupled to and configured to pivot the pivoting lock bolt and to translate the translating lock bolt, an actuation mechanism configured to actuate the linkage and to effect pivoting of the pivoting lock bolt and translation of the translating lock bolt, and an input mechanism configured to receive user input and transmit the user input to the actuation mechanism, the user unput including shifting the input mechanism between an unlocked position and a locked position.
Claims24
A multipoint lock comprising:
- a pivoting lock bolt having a first end and a second end, the pivoting lock bolt including a single fixed pivot point located at the first end and a sliding pivot point;
- wherein the pivoting bolt includes a closed channel, the longitudinal axis of the closed channel parallel with the longitudinal axis of the pivoting bolt, and the sliding pivot point is defined within the closed channel;
- a translating lock bolt;
- a linkage coupled to and configured to pivot the pivoting lock bolt and to translate the translating lock bolt;
- an actuation mechanism configured to actuate the linkage and to effect pivoting of the pivoting lock bolt and translation of the translating lock bolt;
- and
- an input mechanism configured to receive user input and transmit the user input to the actuation mechanism, the user input including shifting the input mechanism between an unlocked position and a locked position.
A fenestration system comprising:
- a hinged panel including a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a third surface extending between the first surface and the second surface;
- and
- a multipoint lock arranged with the hinged panel, the multipoint lock including:
- a pivoting lock bolt including a fixed pivot point, a sliding pivot point, and a translating lock bolt;
- wherein the pivoting bolt includes a closed channel, the longitudinal axis of the closed channel parallel with the longitudinal axis of the pivoting bolt, and the sliding pivot point is defined within the closed channel;
- a linkage coupled to and configured to pivot the pivoting lock bolt and to translate the translating lock bolt;
- an actuation mechanism directly coupled to the linkage and configured to actuate the linkage and to effect pivoting of the pivoting lock bolt and translation of the translating lock bolt;
- an input mechanism configured to transfer rotation of the input mechanism to the actuation mechanism in response to a user shifting the input mechanism between an unlocked position and a locked position.
