Definitions

the invention relates to an openable window sash / door sash with a handle which can be rotated about an axis of rotation arranged perpendicular to the sash plane and with a fitting which drives the locking pin and which is movably guided in the predetermined longitudinal region of a fitting groove, the handle and fitting being connected to one another in such a manner by means of a deflecting gear are that the rotary movement of the handle is converted into the longitudinal movement of the fitting.
Such window sash is generally known as a so-called tilt and turn window.
a rotary movement is generated via the handle, which is converted into a corresponding closing or opening movement of the fitting.
the invention is not limited to such tilt-and-turn windows, but e.g. also includes double-leaf sash windows with a rotating and rotating design.
the object of the invention is to improve the known deflecting gear so that the use of as few gear members as possible also makes it possible to bridge large distances.
the invention manages with only two moving parts.
the handle, axis of rotation and swivel lever form a non-rotatably connected unit.
the push lever is rigidly connected to the movably guided fitting rod. The free end of the pivot lever and the free end of the push lever engage in one another, so that a linear movement of the push lever or the fitting rigidly connected to it is generated from the rotational movement of the pivot lever.
the pivoting lever can be configured particularly advantageously as a gearwheel. This not only simplifies assembly but also allows an unlimited swivel range. In this development, it makes sense to have the toothing of the pivot lever engage in a rack-like drive rod which is guided longitudinally on the window sash / door sash. In this way, the rotational movement of the gear-type swivel lever is converted into a linearly guided movement with an unlimited swivel range. By simply coupling the thrust lever to the longitudinal drive rod, a creates a perfect connection that no longer requires any additional elements.
the required bidirectional drive can be implemented in the simplest way.
the opening can also be designed in the form of a fork, so that the pin is simply inserted into the fork with simplified assembly.
the invention proves to be of particular advantage for the requirement in historical old buildings where the axis of rotation of the handle should sit on the blow bar. No solutions in the area of plastic windows have become known for this.
the transmission bridging between the handle and the fitting is known to be prevented by the sash profile. Solutions have been sought to mill the sash profile accordingly in order to be able to drive the fitting when the handles are arranged on the blow bar.
these attempts have not been successful since suitable reversing gearboxes were not available.
the reversing gear according to the invention is so small that it can be fully accommodated even in a cavity in the blow bar.
the end area of the swivel lever thus sweeps over the sash frame as desired.
the profile of the casement be milled in the swept region through a longitudinal slot and to connect the push lever to the end region of the pivot lever through the milled slot.
a simple rigid connection between the push lever and the fitting results from the fact that the push lever is T-shaped or Y-shaped or the like at its end connected to the fitting. is spread and in the area of the spread ends with two in the longitudinal direction of the fitting spaced fasteners is connected to the fitting.
FIG. 2 shows a window sash / door sash according to this invention in cross section.
window casement / door casement consists of a casement 1 with a handle 3.
this casement is part of a double-leaf window and has a corresponding window casement 2 without a handle.
sash is also used for the term window sash / door sash.
a handle 3 is rotatably mounted on the sash frame about an axis of rotation 4 lying perpendicular to the sash plane 6.
the handle 3 is connected to one another with a fitting 7 driving the locking pin 8 such that the rotary movement 10 of the handle is converted into a longitudinal movement 11 of the fitting.
the fitting 7 is movably guided in a fitting groove 9 running along the casement frame on the casement. The fitting is guided such that the locking pin 8 can retract or extend with respect to a stationary locking plate 27.
the axis of rotation 4 of the handle 3 is the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting groove 9 crosses at a distance of 13.
the distance 13 is so large that the axis of rotation 4 extends outside the outermost boundary plane 15 of the casement.
the main problem with this invention is therefore to design the deflection gear so that the axis of rotation 4 is in principle stored outside of the casement.
the axis of rotation is not supported on the sash frame, while the stationary parts required for the axis of rotation 4 can be attached to the sash frame.
pivot lever 16 On the axis of rotation 4, as shown in FIG. 1 in particular, there is a pivotally connected pivot lever 16 which can be pivoted back and forth by means of the handle 3.
the pivot lever 16 takes a push lever 17 with it.
the push lever 17 is rigidly connected to the fitting 7 for the locking pin 8.
the push lever 17 therefore only executes the longitudinal movement 11 of the fitting 7, while the pivot lever 16 executes the rotary movement of the handle.
the gear coupling in particular the embodiment according to FIG. 1, but preferably a further development according to FIG.
the plane of movement of the push lever 17 is perpendicular to this.
the common area of engagement between the pivot lever 16 and the push lever 17 therefore runs along a vertical line along which the free end of the push lever 17 which is in engagement with the pivot lever is movable.
the engagement zone 18 of the pivot lever moves back and forth along the fork-shaped opening at its free end, while the engagement zone of the push lever runs only vertically.
the swivel lever has at the end a fork-shaped opening into which a corresponding pin of the push lever 17 engages.
the length of the fork-shaped opening is dimensioned such that within the intended pivot angle for opening and closing the window constant engagement between pivot lever 16 and push lever 17 is ensured.
Swivel lever 16 and push lever 17 each have a 2-direction driver.
the 2-direction driver of the swivel lever and the 2-direction driver of the push lever are constantly in mutual engagement.
Figures 2 to 4 show that the pivot lever 16 can be designed as a gear 20.
the gear wheel 20 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the axis of rotation 4.
the axis of rotation 4 is formed by a square 29, which is connected to the handle 3.
the gearwheel 20 engages with the teeth 31 in corresponding recesses 32 in a longitudinally extending toothed rack 21.
the toothed rack 21 is arranged to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction within a housing 33; the housing is designed as a common gear housing for the deflection gear.
the rack-like drive rod 21 therefore only has to be coupled to the push lever 17.
the pin 18 is rigidly connected to the rack 21.
the push lever 17 can simply be in with its fork-shaped opening Longitudinal direction on the pin 18 are inserted. This serves to facilitate the assembly of the reversing gear.
the push lever 17 projects with its fork-shaped opening 19 at the free end of the front plane of the casement to such an extent that the deflection gear, which consists of a pivot lever 16 or a pivot lever 16 and rack 21, can now be inserted into the fork-shaped opening.
the fork-shaped opening 19 of the push lever 17 engages around the pin 18 rigidly connected to the rack 21, and the deflection gear can be fastened.
the blow bar 22 has a cavity 23 which receives the entire deflection gear, consisting of the pivot lever 16 and the rack 21. Then the blow bar 22 can be firmly connected to the sash 5.
the resulting longitudinal slot is reliably covered by the blow bar 22 and therefore remains invisible.
the push lever 17 can be a separate component independent of the fitting 7.
the push lever 17 has a transverse extension at the end to be connected to the fitting 7.
the outline of the thrust lever 17 therefore corresponds essentially to a T.
the transverse leg of the thrust lever 17 has connection points 25 with the fitting 7 at each of its two end regions.
the connection points are spaced apart from one another by a distance 26 in the longitudinal direction of the fitting 7 and are therefore able to absorb the transverse forces acting on the free end of the thrust lever in terms of torque.
