Abstract

There is provided a fitting for a window for single-handedly swinging and tilting such window, said fitting being arranged, with the exception of the operating handle provided with a position-arresting facility, concealed between the frame and casement of the window, with at least one lock facility consisting of a lock pin on the casement side as well as a lock plate on the frame side; a tilting facility associated with the bottom cross member of the window frame; a bottom hinge for swinging and tilting; and a swinging top hinge cooperating with a scissors-type lever system or linkage for tilting the window. The window fitting includes a flat belt revolving in the casement of the window in a guide channel with inserted corner turning facilities, the flat belt being rigidly connected with a driving lug for the operating handle, the lock pin of the lock facility, a lock element of the tilting facility and with a lock element of the scissors-type lever system for tilting the window.

Claims

1. A fitting for a window having a casement and a frame for the single-handed swinging and tilting of such window, said fitting being arranged, with the exception of an operating handle provided with a position locking facility, concealed between the frame and casement of the window, comprising at least one lock facility consisting of a lock pin on the casement side and a lock plate on the frame side, a tilting facility including a lock element associated with the bottom cross member of the window frame;

a bottom hinge for swinging and tilting; and

a top hinge for swinging cooperating with a scissors-type lever system including a lock element for tilting the window, the improvement comprising;

a flat belt having connected free ends and revolving in the casement of the window in a guide channel having inserted corner-turning means, said belt being rigidly connected with a drive lug for the operating handle, the lock pin of the lock facility, a locking element of the tilting facility, and with a lock element for the scissors-type lever system for tilting the window open, the free ends of the revolving flat belt being connected with each other in the guide channel of the bottom cross member of the window casement by a spring-loaded screw clamp consisting of a holding element slidably inserted in the guide channel of the window casement for one end of the flat belt, and a connecting element slidably guided in said holding element for the other end of the flat belt, with a lock screw guided through a first attachment of the holding element engaging a second attachment of the connecting element, said second attachment being arranged opposite said first attachment of the holding element, and with a compression spring provided between the first attachment of the holding element and the head of the lock screw.

2. The fitting as defined in claim 1, wherein the lock pin of the lock facility is slideably guided in the guide channel of the casement by an attachment which forms one piece with said pin and having an opening for passage therethrough of the flat belt, said flat belt being fixedly positioned between the spherical cap-shaped foot of a hexagonal socket-head bolt screwed into the lock pin extending up to said opening in said attachment, and a recess in the attachment matching the foot of the hexagonal socket-head screw and disposed opposite said foot.

3. The fitting as defined in claim 1, wherein a lock element of the tilting facility on the casement side, in the fully and partly tilted positions of the casement, engages by means of a hook connection a tilting trestle rigidly mounted in the guide channel of the window frame.

4. The fitting as defined in claim 1, wherein each corner-turning facility comprises a basic body mounted in the guide channel of the casement, having two arms for guiding the flat belt, and a cover clipped in the guide channel, said corner-turning facility being formed of plastic.

5. The fitting as defined in claim 1, wherein the hinge for swinging and tilting comprises a bearing block secured on the window frame, a hinge tang inserted in the bearing block by means of a pin formed on the hinge, and a bevelled holding element secured on the hinge tang and mounted in the guide channel of the casement and simultaneously serving as the cover for the basic body of the corner-turning facility.

6. The fitting as defined in claim 1, wherein the scissors-type lever system includes a lever having a lock pin which, in the partially tilted position of the window casement, engages behind a projecting extension of the lock element, and, in the rotating or swinging as well as closed positions of the casement in a center cut provided in the lock element.

7. The fitting as defined in claim 1, wherein the scissor-type lever system includes a guide rail mounted in the guide channel of the window casement and an adjusting facility mounted in the guide channel of the window casement connected to said guide rail.

8. A fitting for a window having a casement and a frame for the single-handed swinging and tilting of such window, said fitting being arranged, with the exception of an operating handle provided with a position locking facility, concealed between the frame and casement of the window, comprising at least one lock facility consisting of a lock pin on the casement side and a lock plate on the frame side, a tilting facility including a lock element associated with the bottom cross member of the window frame;

a bottom hinge for swinging and tilting; and

a top hinge for swinging cooperating with a scissors-type lever system including a lock element for tilting the window the improvement comprising;

an endless flat belt revolving in the casement of the window in a guide channel having inserted corner-turning means, said belt being rigidly connected with a drive lug for the operating handle, the lock pin of the lock facility, a locking element of the tilting facility, and with a lock element for the scissors-type lever system for tilting the window open, said lock plate of the lock facility being retained in its position on one side by a through-extending recess engaging one bevelled bridge of the guide channel of the frame, and on the other side by a hexagonal socket-head screw inserted above said recess and extending inclined across said plate to beneath the other bevelled bridge of the guide channel of the frame, said screw having a tapered foot supported on the bottom edge of the associated angular bridge of the guide channel of the window frame and engaging said bridge between said foot of said screw and an attachment of said lock plate.
