Abstract
A metalwork for a window having a fixed frame and a leaf. The metalwork also includes a control which enables opening and closing of the leaf so as to turn around vertical or horizontal axes depending on the position of the control.
Claims15
An operational mechanism for a window comprising a fixed frame (2) and a leaf (3), and a control (15) of the operational mechanism, which, when operational is arranged to open and close the leaf (3) to turn around a vertical axis (X-X′) by use of hinges (11) or which can tilt around a horizontal axis (Y-Y′) depending on the position of the control (15) arranged to move from a closing position in which the window (1) is closed, to a first opening position for one of either of the turning or tilling movements of the leaf (3) depending on the window, in particular turning for a turn tilt window (1) or tilting for a tilt turn window (1), and further to a second opening position for another movement of either one of said turning or tilting movements of the leaf depending on the window, in particular tilting for a turn tilt window (1) or turning for a tilt turn window (1), the operational mechanism comprising:
- a scissor mechanism (29) comprising a guide to be mounted on the leaf and a main arm (30) which is hinge-mounted to a carriage (32) which can shift on the guide and which is connected to a hinge of the vertical axis (X-X′) when operational;
- a slide latch (28) shiftable by the control (15) over an outer perimeter (8) of the leaf;
- a locking device for locking and unlocking the main arm in relation to the leaf (3), the locking device having two coupling elements, a first coupling element (37) located on the main arm (30) and a second coupling element (38) located on the slide latch (28) respectively, which coupling elements can mesh to lock the main arm (30) by controlling the operational mechanism (6) for allowing turning of the leaf or be moved apart in view of the free movement of the main arm (30) for allowing tilting of the leaf, wherein the first coupling element (37) is formed as a gudgeon fixed on a rotating arm (39) which is rotatable around an axis (40) with respect to the main arm, the gudgeon being positioned eccentrically on the rotating arm (39) at a distance from the axis (40) and working in conjunction with the second coupling element (38), the rotating arm (39) arranged to turn in a reversible manner half a turn between two lockable positions:
- a first lockable position corresponding to a turn tilt operational mechanism (6) wherein the first and second coupling elements are meshed when the control (15) is in a closing or first opening position and are disengaged when the control (15) is in a second opening position;
- a second lockable position corresponding to a tilt turn operational mechanism (6), wherein the first and second coupling elements are disengaged when the control (15) is in the closing or first opening position and are meshed when the control (15) is in the second opening position.
