Abstract

The invention relates to an adjusting device (20) for hinged windows (21) comprising, as components, a base body (25), a control element (26), an actuating lever (27), and a connecting bracket (28). These elements are connected to one another in twos and in an articulated manner by means of a hinged joint. The base body (25) is fastened with one end thereof to a body part (22). The connecting bracket is fastened with one end thereof to the hinged window (21). A detent device is preferably provided on the hinged joint (32) between the control element (26) and the actuating lever (27) and comprises a detent body and a detent notch. The detent body Is guided in a displaceable manner inside a longitudinal guide of the actuating lever (27) and is pressed, via a spring plate, against the control element (26) by means of a pressure spring. The control arm is provided with one or more detent notches.
