摘要:
An operator for controlling the movement of a window sash relative to a frame, including a base attachable to a frame; a linkage secured to the base and attachable to a window sash to control the movement of the window sash relative to a frame; a rotatable input shaft rotatably secured to the base and driveably engaging the arm, the input shaft having a female drive region formed therein; a drive member; a transmission shaft secured on one end to the drive member and having a male drive region disposable within and mateable with the input shaft female drive region to transfer rotation of the transmission shaft to the input shaft; and means for locking the transmission shaft to one of the base and the input shaft to hold the male drive region in mateable engagement with the female drive region.

An improved structure is provided for a window sash lock having a catch mounted to a face of a window frame to grasp and release a keeper reciprocally mounted to a face of a window sash. A housing (12) is mounted against the frame face (13) that has an opening therethrough with a portion substantially cylindrical about an axis perpendicular to the frame face (13). An operator (52) for the catch (32) comprises a cylindrical pivotal portion (56) which is receivable within the housing cylindrical portion and is adapted to pivot about the axis. The operator also includes a handle portion (54) secured at one end to the operator pivotal portion (56). The operator further comprises an actuator portion having a button (60) at one end for engaging the catch to control movement thereof. The actuator portion is secured at the other end to the operator pivotal portion. A part of the actuator portion is trapped between the housing and the frame face to prevent removal of the operator from the mounted housing.

A window operator handle foldable between an operable position for manual pivoting and a storage position, including a body with a manually graspable portion at one end and a recess in the other end, and a base including a longitudinal cylindrical portion having a central bore extending completely through the base. The handle body recess is defined by side walls spaced a selected width, a top wall, and a wall at one end oriented substantially parallel to the operator drive shaft when the handle is in the operable position, with the base cylindrical portion having an outer diameter slightly less than the selected width. An operator drive shaft is securable in the base bore so that the an outer end of the drive shaft is substantially adjacent the handle body when the handle is in a storage position. The handle base is secured for pivoting relative to the handle body about an axis substantially orthogonal to longitudinal whereby in the storage position the base is substantially within the handle body recess. The body top wall serves as a stop for pivoting of the base relative to the body when the handle is pivoted to the storage position and the body end wall serves as a stop for pivoting of the base relative to the body when the handle is pivoted to the operable position. A detent on the handle base is sharply tapered at one end, with the detent itself being narrower than the recess selected width by a selected amount. A detent spring has two legs connected at one end by a spring base secured at the other end of the handle body. In an unbiased position, the other ends of the spring legs are spaced apart less than the width of the detent, with those leg ends having a total width which is less than the selected amount and engaging the detent tapered end when the handle is in the operable position.

A rivet for pivotally interconnecting first and second superposed links each having an opening therethrough, including a first head having a link engaging surface and an outer concave surface, and a shank having first and second portions with a shoulder therebetween, with the first portion being adjacent the head and receivable in the first link opening and the second portion being receivable in the second link opening. During assembly, the rivet is compressed so that the second portion is deformed to form a second head to secure the links between the first and second heads, and the first head is deformed to reduce the concavity of the recess therein and axially shift the first link over the first shank portion to virtually eliminate axial free play.
摘要:
A window assembly including a frame having an interior portion with an inner surface, and a sash having an interior portion and an exterior portion. The window assembly includes an operational mode and a wash mode. In the operational mode, the sash is movable from a closed position to a position in which the sash is generally perpendicular with the frame. In the wash mode, the sash is movable to a position where the exterior of the sash faces toward the interior frame.
