Hardware for closure
First Claim
1. Hardware for a movable closure 3 of a window or door, which closure can be locked in a spaced, parallel position and in this position is horizontally shiftable, which closure has lower swing arms 10 and upper swing arms, wherein the swing arms 10 are in each case pivotally connected to the closure, on the one hand, and pivotally connected to a traveling carriage 12 with a releasable locking device 16 for each swing arm 10 when the closure is located in parallel-stop position, which locking device 16 consists of a bell crank 17 mounted in the vicinity of the traveling carriage 12 and the swing arm 10, which locking device can be moved in or out of working connection by means of a control lug 22 engaging an abutment 28 mounted on a stationary frame 1 by the closing slide movement of the closure 3, characterized by the fact that,the bell crank 17 has two arms and is pivotally mounted on the traveling carriage 12 which carries the control lug 22 at the end of the arm 19 directed toward the stationary frame 1, that the arm 20 directed towards the swing arm 10 is pivotally connected 23 to a connecting rod 24 which is pivoted to the swing arm 10, that the connecting rod 24 and the arm 20 of the bell crank 17 connected with it form a toggle joint 27 which can be automatically reversed by means of the control lug 22 on the bell crank 17 and the frame abutment 28 during the closing slide movement of the closure 3 from an extended position locking the parallel-stop position of the swing arm 10 between the traveling carriage 12 and the swing arm 10 into a folded position which releases the closure, and that the bell crank arm 19 carrying the control lug 22 in the extended position of the toggle joint 27 is provided relative to the closing slide movement of the closure 3 of the support pivot 18 of the bell crank 17 at the traveling carriage 12 in an over-center manner.

Abstract
Hardware for a door or window, in which the closure can be moved out of the opening in the stationary frame to another position parallel to the said opening and then moved horizontally to a position that is non-coextensive with the opening. Upper and lower swing arms are provided, each connecting the closure to a traveling carriage. A releasable locking device is provided to lock the closure in the outer position, the device having a supporting lever connecting the swing arm to the carriage. This lever is brought into working position during the movement of the closure by means of a control lug with a thrust abutment located on the frame. The supporting lever consists of a bell crank pivotally mounted on the carriage, which crank carries the control lug at the end of one arm directed toward the stationary frame. The other arm, extending toward the swing arm, is pivotally connected to a connecting rod which is also swingably connected to the swing arm. The connecting rod and the bell crank that is connected to it from a toggle that is reversible by use of the control lug and a thrust abutment on the stationary frame. This occurs automatically at its extended position when the closure moves toward its closing position, releasing the swing arm from the position in which it is locked by an over-center condition of the toggle.

1. Hardware for a movable closure 3 of a window or door, which closure can be locked in a spaced, parallel position and in this position is horizontally shiftable, which closure has lower swing arms 10 and upper swing arms, wherein the swing arms 10 are in each case pivotally connected to the closure, on the one hand, and pivotally connected to a traveling carriage 12 with a releasable locking device 16 for each swing arm 10 when the closure is located in parallel-stop position, which locking device 16 consists of a bell crank 17 mounted in the vicinity of the traveling carriage 12 and the swing arm 10, which locking device can be moved in or out of working connection by means of a control lug 22 engaging an abutment 28 mounted on a stationary frame 1 by the closing slide movement of the closure 3, characterized by the fact that,
the bell crank 17 has two arms and is pivotally mounted on the traveling carriage 12 which carries the control lug 22 at the end of the arm 19 directed toward the stationary frame 1, that the arm 20 directed towards the swing arm 10 is pivotally connected 23 to a connecting rod 24 which is pivoted to the swing arm 10, that the connecting rod 24 and the arm 20 of the bell crank 17 connected with it form a toggle joint 27 which can be automatically reversed by means of the control lug 22 on the bell crank 17 and the frame abutment 28 during the closing slide movement of the closure 3 from an extended position locking the parallel-stop position of the swing arm 10 between the traveling carriage 12 and the swing arm 10 into a folded position which releases the closure, and that the bell crank arm 19 carrying the control lug 22 in the extended position of the toggle joint 27 is provided relative to the closing slide movement of the closure 3 of the support pivot 18 of the bell crank 17 at the traveling carriage 12 in an over-center manner.

9. Hardware for a closure 3 of a window or door, which is lockable in a parallel-stop position and in this position is horizontally shiftable, which closure has lower swing arms 10 and upper swing arms, at least the one of the lower swing arms 10 being pivotally connected on the one hand to a lower transverse closure bar and in each case is pivotally connected to a traveling carriage 12 with a releasable locking device 16 for at least the one lower swing arm 10 when located in the parallel-stop position, the locking device consisting of a supporting lever 17 engaging on the one hand in the region of the traveling carriage 12 and which on the other hand can be brought into or out of working connection through a control lug 22 with an abutment 28 located on the stationary frame 1 during the slide-close movement of the closure 3,
characterized by the fact that, the supporting lever 17 is a bell crank 19 exclusively mounted by a pivot 18 on the traveling carriage 12, a control lug 22 is carried at the end of the bell crank 19 facing towards the stationary frame 1, while the arm 20, which faces toward the swing arm 10 is exclusively articulated by a pivot 23 to a connecting rod 24, which also is connected by a pivot 25 to the swing arm 10, that furthermore the connecting rod 24 and the pivoted lever arm 20 of the supporting lever 17 form with one another a toggle joint 27, which is reversible by the control lug 22 of the supporting lever 17 and the frame abutment 28 during the slide-closing motion of the closure 3, this reversal operating automatically at least from an extended position locking the parallel-stop position of the swing arm 10 between the traveling carriage 12 and the swing arm 10 to a closed position which releases it, that the bell crank 19 of the supporting lever 17 which carries the control lug 22 in the extended position of the toggle joint 27 is provided relative to the supporting lever 17 at the traveling carriage 12 in a trailing manner, and that the connecting rod 24 is likewise designed as a two-link lever (24a, 24b), and that its lever 24b projecting beyond the pivot 25 at the swing arm 10 operates to pivot or slide through a pin 33 in a guide slot 34 located on the closure 3, which slot is provided at the end that is associated with the parallel-stop position of the closure 3 with a notch 35 for the pinion 33.
