Integrated tilt/sash lock assembly

An integrated sash lock and tilt latch assembly for a sash window assembly, the sash window assembly having a sash window having an upper rail and slideable within a master frame, the sash lock and tilt latch assembly comprising:

• a keeper adapted to be mounted on the sash window assembly;
• a housing configured to mount within the upper rail;
• a sash lock mechanism mounted within the housing, the sash lock mechanism comprising a rotor having a locking cam protruding from the rotor and the rotor further having a leg assembly protruding from the rotor in a direction generally opposite the locking cam;
• a tilt latch mechanism mounted within the housing and operably connected to the sash lock mechanism, the tilt latch mechanism comprising a latch bolt adapted to engage the master frame;
• a connector having a first end connected to the latch bolt and a second end operably coupled to the sash lock mechanism;
• and
• an actuator operably connectable with the sash lock mechanism, the actuator having a locked position wherein the rotor is in a first position and the locking cam of the rotor engages the keeper to lock the window assembly in a closed position, an unlocked position wherein the rotor is rotated in a first direction from the first position and the locking cam of the rotor is disengaged from the keeper to allow the window assembly to be opened, and being further moveable to a tiltable position wherein the rotor is further rotated in the first direction and the latch bolt is retracted so that the latch bolt is adapted to be disengaged from the master frame, wherein the leg assembly is adapted to abuts the keeper to prevent movement of the actuator from the unlocked position into the tiltable position when the sash window assembly is in the closed position and the actuator is attempted to be moved from the unlocked position into the tiltable position, and wherein the leg assembly does not abut the keeper when the sash window assembly is in an open position and the actuator is moved from the unlocked position into the tiltable position.
