Positive action fenestration lock

Abstract

A positive action fenestration lock, i.e. adaptable to be attached to a moving window profile and to interact, by sliding, with a fixed window profile, said positive action fenestration lock comprises: a hollow body closed by a base plate; a bolt-wedge displaceable rectilinearly with respect to the hollow body and the base plate, respectively; a button located generally in the hollow body and pivotally connected to the base; an actuator and a flat spring, the latter being attached to the former, controlling together the rectilinear movement of the bolt-wedge, while the latter is activated by the button; a pair of restoring torsion springs, located between the base plate and the button, for resisting against a torque caused by the button, the latter being adaptable to be finger pressed by an operator; and a helical compression spring acting permanently on the actuator and, impliedly, on the flat spring.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
