Abstract

An automatic ventilation regulating device for windows, doors and the like, which have a movable portion and a fixed portion, including a spindle; a slide displaceable on the spindle; driving means for displacing the slide on the spindle, the spindle and the slide being connectable with the movable and fixed portions, respectively; and a settable thermostat arranged for controlling the operation of the driving means in response to the temperature in the room to be ventilated.

Claims

1. An automatic ventilation regulating device for windows, doors and like having an openable portion and a fixed portion, said device including:

a threaded spindle rotatably mounted;

a slide displaceable on said spindle when said spindle is rotated, said spindle being pivotally connected with one portion and said slide being pivotally connected with the other portion; and

means to automatically vary the degree to which the window or door is opened in response to temperature, said means comprising intermittently operated motor means for rotating said spindle for short periods, and a settable thermostat for controlling the operation of said motor means to drive said motor means intermittently for short periods in response to the temperature in the ventilated room.

2. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which said slide is provided with a through hole through which said spindle passes and which is provided with a thread corresponding to the thread on said spindle.

3. A device as claimed in claim 1, particularly for inwardly opening window casements and doors, in which said motor means is arranged to be attached to said fixed portion of the window or door and said slide is arranged to be attached to said movable portion of the window or door.

4. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which said motor means consists of an intermittently operating electric motor.

5. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which said thermostat is positioned at a distance from said motor means and arranged to control said motor means in such a way that said slide is displaced in the closing direction, when the temperature in the room is below the one set on the thermostat, and in the opening direction, when the temperature in the room is above the set temperature.
