Abstract

A pivot-tilt mechanism for a window or a door comprises a transmission (32), groove bands and locks (74, 92). The pivot-tilt mechanism has a pivot fixture (22) and a tilt fixture (24) and the transmission is formed of two parts and comprises a drive (18) for the pivot fixture (22) and a drive (20) for the tilt fixture (24). The pivot fixture (22) and the tilt fixture (24) are driven one after the other.

Claims

1. A pivot-tilt mechanism for a window or door, the mechanism comprising:

a pivot fixture;

a tilt fixture;

a first drive communicating with said pivot fixture;

a second drive communicating with said tilt fixture; and

an actuating means communicating with both of said first drive and said second drive for sequential operation of said pivot fixture and said tilt fixture.

2. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said pivot fixture is driven when said tilt fixture assumes a neutral position and wherein said tilt-fixture is driven when said pivot fixture assumes a neutral position.

3. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said actuating means comprises a central translating part, wherein said first drive comprises a first translating part communicating with said pivot fixture and wherein said second drive comprises a second translating part communicating with said tilt fixture, wherein said central translating part drives said first and said second translating parts.

4. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 3, wherein one of said first and said second translating parts is decoupled from said central translating part when a respective other one of said first and said second translating parts is coupled to said central translating part.

5. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 4, further comprising means for coupling and decoupling said first and said second translating parts to and from said central translating part.

6. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said actuating means comprises a crank for moving said first and said second drives.

7. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said actuating means comprises a toothed gearing.

8. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 7, wherein said toothed gearing comprises a differential transmission.

9. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said first drive comprises a first toothed rod and said second drive comprises a second toothed rod.

10. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 9, wherein said first and said second toothed rods are disposed proximate to one another, said actuating means comprising a first toothed wheel communicating with said first toothed rod and a second toothed wheel communicating with said second toothed rod, wherein said first toothed wheel and said second toothed wheel are disposed one on top of the other, with said actuating means further comprising means for motionally coupling said first toothed wheel to said second toothed wheel.

11. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 10, wherein said first toothed wheel has first teeth along only a part of an entire circumference thereof and said second toothed wheel has second teeth along only a part an entire circumference thereof, wherein said first and said second teeth sequentially engage said first and said second toothed rods.

12. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 10, wherein said actuating means further comprises toothed gearing having a differential transmission, wherein said differential transmission drives said first and said second toothed wheels.

13. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 9, further comprising a housing and locking means, said locking means cooperating with said first and said second toothed rods to sequentially lock said first and said second toothed rods to said housing such that only one of said first and said second toothed rod sections can be driven at a same time.

14. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 13, wherein said locking means comprises a locking element which is driven by one of said first and said second toothed rods and which locks another one of said first and said second toothed rods to said housing.

15. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 14, wherein said locking element always re-assumes an unlocked position when changing from said first drive to said second drive and when changing from said second drive to said first drive.

16. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said tilt fixture comprises a pivoting shackle communicating with said second drive.

17. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 16, wherein a free end of said shackle can be hooked into a closing plate provided on a stationary window or door frame.

18. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 17, wherein said closing plate is open when said pivot fixture assumes an unlocked position.

19. The pivot-tilt mechanism of claim 1, wherein said actuating means comprises means for driving said first and said second drives using a motor.
