the fitting 2 comprises spring means 31 arranged to so as to permanently request the bolt holder 6 in the unlocking direction 16.
the spring means 31 are arranged between the transverse face 32 of the bolt holder 6 facing the locking direction 15 and opposite to the face 13, and the fixing member 22 located at the end 33 of the housing 3 in said direction 15 of locking.
the handle 8 comprises a conformation 36 which, in the locked position of the handle 8 shown in FIG. 2 is close to the bottom 21 of the housing 3 and extends in the direction 15 of locking and in the direction 30 towards the bottom 21 of the housing 3.
the bolt holder 6 has a conformation complementary 34 adapted to transmit to said conformation 36 of the handle 8 the thrust of the spring 31 to press the handle 8 against the bottom 21 of the housing 3.
the conformations 34 and 36 of bolt holder 6 and handle 8 are flat portions parallel, so the contact between these two conformations takes place over the entire surface thereof.
the force of the spring 31 is transmitted by the conformation 34 to conformation 36.
the component of this force perpendicular to the surface 36 decomposes in a component directed in the direction 30 towards the bottom 21 which presses the handle 8 against the bottom 21 of the housing 3, and a component in the unlocking direction 16 which is transmitted to the axis 11 of the handle 8 and which is compensated by the resistance opposed by said axis 11.
the conformation 36 of the handle 8 is extended towards the bottom 21 of the housing 3 by a projecting dihedral 38 and by a surface portion 39 extending in the direction 16 for unlocking and in the direction 30 towards said bottom 21.
This surface portion 39 includes a region 40 which, in the locked position of the handle 8 shown in Figure 2, comes into contact with the bottom 21 of the housing 3.
the handle 8 is shaped so as to be completely or nearly lodged completely inside the housing 3 in its position locked.
the handle 8 has a support region 42 located substantially opposite the conformation 36 with respect to the pivot axis 11 of the handle 8.
This support region 42 is shaped so that in the locked position of the handle 8, shown in FIG. 2, this region 42 is substantially flush with the outer surface 43 of the outer plate 10 of the housing 3.
part 45 of the handle 8 protruding outside the housing 3 can serve as handle for controlling the sliding of sliding sash 2.
the bottom 21 of the housing 3 is constituted by two wings 46, 47 projecting towards each other at the end of the walls side 19 and 20 of the housing 3.
the handle 48 has a profile which corresponds to that of handle 8 truncated along line 49 in dashed lines Figure 2, and deprived of the aforementioned part 45.
the handle 48 thus has the conformation 36, the protruding dihedral 38, the extension 39 and the region 40 which cooperate with the bolt holder 6 to lock this one in its locked position of figure 2.
the handle 48 also has the support region 42 which allows the bolt holder 6 to be unlocked.
the handle 48 does not allow control the sliding opening 2.
the fitting is completed by a handle of not shown.

the handle 50 has a protruding part 51 of any shape that projects out of the housing 3 and which is easy to maneuver to order, either the locking and blocking of the bolt holder 6, or unlocking and unlocking it.
the handle 50 can be easily used for operate the sliding sash 2.
the bolt holder 61 and the handle 62 one has a light 63, the other a roller cam 64 adapted to move in the light 63.
the cam roller 64 and light 63 are arranged in such a way that the cam roller 64 slides along the opposite walls 65, 66 of light 63 when the handle 64 pivots and the bolt holder 62 slides.
the light 63 is provided on the handle 62 and the cam roller 64 is integral with the bolt holder 61.
the reverse arrangement is also possible.
the light 63 opens at the periphery of the handle 62 (or of the bolt holder 61 in the opposite case), on the edge 67 thereof located on the bottom side 21 of the housing 3.
the handle 62 has at least one finger 68 extending longitudinally in the locking direction and the bolt holder 61 has a surface element 69 forming stop which comes into contact with the free end 70 of the finger 68 in the locked position of the bolt holder 61 to block it in said locked position.
the finger 68 and the stop 69 are arranged so as in the locked position of the bolt holder 61 and of the handle 62, the force exerted by the stop 69 on finger 68 requests handle 62 in direction 71 lock, clockwise in Figures 11 and 12.
the light 63 is a notch formed on the edge 67 of the handle 62 and that the cam roller 64 is integral of the bolt holder 61.
the bolt holder 61 has a central arm 74 extending longitudinally in direction 16 of unlocking.
the handle 62 has two flanges 75 arranged transversely on the side and on the other side of the arm 74. Each flange 75 carries a notch 63 which cooperates with a respective roller 64 mounted at the end of the arm 74.
a spring shown diagrammatically in 76, is provided advantageously to permanently request the bolt holder 61 in the unlocking direction 16.
a structural fitting has thus been described simple and relatively reliable which can be sized for the smallest standardized width, 16 mm, classic sliding door lights and which can be used in the same way in the lights of wider width.
the sliding of the bolt holder 6 is, in the embodiments of Figures 1 to 10, the result a pivoting of the handle in the direction of locking, and a pivoting of the handle in the opposite direction, assisted by the action of a spring, to unlocking.
the handle 8, 48, 50, 62 of this fitting can easily meet ergonomic requirements necessary for easy operation of the sash sliding 2.
This fitting can be designed with shapes and very varied styles that allow great possibilities for customizing said fitting.
