Universal lock handle assembly for casement windows

A universal lock handle assembly for a multi-point casement window having a frame with an inside surface, the lock handle assembly comprising:

• an escutcheon for mounting to the inside surface of the frame, the escutcheon comprising a body comprising an inner side facing away from the inside surface of the window and an outer side that extends through the inside surface of the window, the escutcheon further comprising a slot for receiving a handle,
• the handle comprising a grip connected to a mid-section, the mid-section being connected to forked end, the mid-section of the handle being pivotally connected to the escutcheon at an axis that extends transversely to the outer side of the escutcheon,
• the forked end comprising two spaced-apart legs that define an open slot for slidably receiving a slider,
• the open slot comprising a closed proximal end and an open distal end, the slider slidably moving between the closed proximal and open distal ends during operation of the lock handle assembly,
• the slider being pivotally connected to a tie bar.

• the handle comprising a grip connected to a mid-section, the mid-section being connected to forked end, the mid-section of the handle being pivotally connected to the escutcheon by a shaft that extends transversely through the mid-section and at least partially through the opposing walls of the outer side of the escutcheon,
• the forked end of the handle comprising two spaced-apart legs that define an open slot for slidably receiving a slider, the legs of the forked end each comprise a groove, the groove of each leg accommodating a liner material,
• the slider further comprising two edges, each edge of the slider facing one of the legs of the forked end, each edge comprises a groove for slidably receiving the liner material of one of the legs,
• the open slot comprising a closed proximal end and an open distal end the slider slidably moving on the liner material and between the closed proximal and open distal ends of the slot during operation of the lock handle assembly,
• the slider being pivotally connected to a tie bar.
