Abstract
A window assembly includes a fixed frame and a rotary frame mounted therein. The rotary frame can be unlocked from the fixed frame and rotated relative to the fixed frame about a vertical axis disposed at the center of the rotary frame. The rotary frame can be latched in selected angular positions, or slid horizontally to either the right or the left. The rotary frame can be unlocked from the fixed frame by movement of a single handle.
Claims19
A window frame assembly comprising a fixed frame and a rotary frame mounted in the fixed frame;
- the rotary frame carrying a transparent sheet;
- the rotary frame being rotatable relative to the fixed frame within a range of substantially 360 degrees about a vertical axis of rotation located at a horizontal center of the rotary frame;
- and a manually releasable locking mechanism locking the rotary frame against rotation.
A window frame assembly comprising a rectangular fixed frame and a rectangular rotary frame mounted within the fixed frame;
- the rotary frame carrying a transparent sheet;
- the fixed frame including upper and lower fixed horizontal sections, and right and left fixed vertical sections each interconnecting the fixed horizontal sections;
- the rotary frame including upper and lower rotary horizontal sections and first and second rotary vertical sections each interconnecting the rotary horizontal sections;
- the fixed horizontal sections and the fixed vertical sections together forming an outer peripheral edge surface;
- the rotary horizontal sections and the rotary vertical sections together forming an inner peripheral edge surface facing the outer peripheral edge surface;
- the upper fixed horizontal section being connected to the upper rotary horizontal section by an upper bearing;
- the lower fixed horizontal section being connected to the lower rotary horizontal section by a lower bearing disposed beneath and in alignment with the upper bearing, wherein the upper and lower bearings together define a vertical axis of rotation for the rotary frame;
- the axis of rotation disposed at a horizontal center of the rotary frame, wherein the rotary frame is rotatable out of a closed state relative to the fixed frame to an open state within a substantially 360° range of rotation;
- and a locking mechanism releasably locking the fixed frame to the stationary frame to prevent rotation of the rotary frame;
- the locking mechanism being manually releasable.
