Abstract

In a window comprising a stationary frame and a tilting sash, the tilting axis is displaceable in a transverse direction relative to the frame or the sash substantially in the plane thereof so that the sash may be opened into a position in which the sash is situated substantially horizontally in the upper region of the window opening surrounded by the frame.

Claims

1. A window comprising:

a frame member and a sash member;

pivot means at an intermediate portion of said sash member defining an axis and permitting said sash member to be tilted relative to said frame member about said axis;

link means extending substantially perpendicularly to said axis;

means hingedly connecting the ends of said link means to said frame and sash members, respectively;

first guide means in one of said members defining a displacement path for said pivot means parallel to the plane of such member;

second guide means in one of said members defining a displacement path for the hinge means connecting said link means to such member; and

locking means to selectively prevent the displacement of said pivot means or said hinge means along said first and second guide means, respectively.

2. A window as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pivot means are journalled in slides cooperating with said first guide means which are provided in said frame member, and wherein said hinge means include a slide cooperating with said second guide means which are provided in said sash member.

3. A window as claimed in claim 2, wherein the slide associated with the link means and at least one of the slides associated with the pivot means is operatively connected to a common change-over mechanism for the simultaneous locking of one of said slides and rElease of the other slide.

4. A window as claimed in claim 2, wherein said pivot means are axially displaceable and in one extreme position are operative to lock the associated slide relative to said frame member.

5. A window as claimed in claim 4, wherein a maneuvering bar, mounted in said sash member, is operatively connected to a handle, and has its end operatively connected to the axially displaceable pivot means and to a pin for locking the link slide to said sash member, respectively.
