Abstract
A window fastener having a mounting base (21), a latching flap (12) moveably coupled thereto, a handle (14) and a latching tongue (15). the handle (14) is movable between first and second positions and is coupled to the latching tongue (15) so that the latching tongue moves the latching flap (18) when the handle (14) moves to a latching position. A movement inducing mechanism (34, 41) operable by the handle (14) causes movement of the flap (12) to occur when the handle is moved from the latching position to a non-latching position.
Claims14
A window fastener comprising a mounting base, a latching flap pivotally coupled to the mounting base, said flap being movable between a latching position and a non-latching position, a handle movable between first and second positions, a latching tongue coupled to the handle, the latching tongue being engageable with the latching flap when the flap is in the latching position and the handle has moved from the first position to the second position, the handle also being operably coupled to a movement inducing mechanism, the movement inducing mechanism operatively being coupled with the latching flap so that as the handle is moved from the second position to the first position the flap is moved by the movement inducing mechanism to the non-latching position.
