A pivot joint includes a first component (12) having a projecting boss form (16) and a second component (11) having an opening (25) for receiving the boss form (16). A headed fastener (32) and washer (27) engage with the boss form (16), which includes engagement elements (17) that dig into the washer (27) when the joint is assembled.
A latch which is suitable for latching a window in a closed and sealed position. The latch has latch furniture (10) adapted to fit into a window, section S with minimal protrusion from the section. The furniture includes a sealing lever handle (17) and a latch release handle (16) located in a recess (15) in the latch furniture. The latch further includes a latch mechanism (11) adapted to engage with the latch furniture 10. The latch mechanism (11) has one or more latch bolts 65 operable by the latch release handle 16 and a latch pin (41) engageable with a striker assembly which is mounted to a section of a window frame. The latch (pin 41) is coupled to the sealing lever (17) whereby operation of the sealing lever (17) moves the window section S into a sealing position relative to the striker assembly.
E05C 1/14 - Fastening devices with bolts moving rectilinearly with latching action with operating handle or equivalent member moving otherwise than rigidly with the latch the handle or member moving essentially towards, or away from, the plane of the wing or frame
E05B 5/00 - Handles completely let into the surface of the wing
E05C 1/06 - Fastening devices with bolts moving rectilinearly without latching action with operating handle or equivalent member moving otherwise than rigidly with the bolt
A window fastener includes a lever handle (10) rotatably mounted to a base (14). The handle (10) is selectively movable to a closed position, an open position and a venting position. A flap (16) is pivotally coupled to the base (14). A drive element (20) is movable by the lever handle (10) to cause the flap (16) to move from a closed position to an open position as the handle is moved from its closed position to the open position. A retainer element (30) is movable to a retention position in response to movement of the lever handle (10) to retain the flap (16) in an open position when the handle is moved to the venting position. The lever handle (10) has a first tongue (13) for maintaining the flap (16) in the closed position of the flap and a second tongue (28) engageable, in use, with a window frame when the lever handle is in the venting position.
E05C 3/04 - Fastening devices with bolts moving pivotally or rotatively without latching action with operating handle or equivalent member rigid with the bolt
E05C 3/10 - Fastening devices with bolts moving pivotally or rotatively without latching action with operating handle or equivalent member moving otherwise than rigidly with the bolt the handle or member moving essentially in a plane substantially parallel to the wing
E05C 17/46 - Devices for holding wings openDevices for limiting opening of wings or for holding wings open by a movable member extending between frame and wingBraking devices, stops or buffers, combined therewith by mechanical means in which the wing or a member fixed thereon is engaged by a movable fastening member in a fixed positionDevices for holding wings openDevices for limiting opening of wings or for holding wings open by a movable member extending between frame and wingBraking devices, stops or buffers, combined therewith by mechanical means in which a movable fastening member mounted on the wing engages a stationary member
A latch assembly for use with a window sash sliding mounted with a window frame. The latch includes at least one bolt (18) moveable in a body (10) between a retracted position and a projecting position. In the projecting position the bolt 18 is engageable in cavity in a strike (12). A connecting mechanism in the form of cranks (20) couple the bolt 18 to an operating member (14), which is part of latch furniture (11). A magnetic actuating element (29) and a biasing element (33) are coupled to the bolt (18) whereby when the latch body (10) is disposed relative to a strike (12) in a position where the bolt (18) can engage with the strike (12) a magnetic attraction between a magnetic part (26) of the strike and the magnetic actuating element (29) occurs to draw the bolt (18) into latching engagement with the strike (12).
A key (K) and lock (10) system includes a lock (10) with a spacer element (14) attached to the plug of the lock. The spacer element (14) cooperates with a shoulder (S) of a key (K) to enable that key to operate the lock. When the spacer element is detached from the plug, the key if inserted does not align properly with the lock. The system is particularly suited to locks with construction keying.
A pivot joint includes a first component (12) having a projecting boss form (16) and a second component (11) having an opening (25) for receiving the boss form (16). A headed fastener (32) and washer (27) engage with the boss form (16), which includes engagement elements (17) that dig into the washer (27) when the joint is assembled.
