The links (1050, 1060) of the linkage mechanism are connected to each other in a bearing axle (1055). One or more joints between the links and the frame and sash hinge parts comprises a sliding joint (1056, 1062) cooperating with a guide track (1036, 1045) and another joint may be a sliding joint or a hinged joint (1051, 1061). One or both of the guide tracks (1036, 1045) may comprise a curved portion.
