Abstract

The invention relates to a fitting for supporting the wing of a window in such a way that the wing can rotate about a horizontal or about a vertical axis of rotation in relation to the window frame. The fitting comprises a frame part in the form of a C-shaped guide rail (1) to be fastened to the frame, a sliding piece (2) longitudinally movable in the rail, a wing part in the form of a wing plate (3) to be fastened to the frame, a scissor arm (4) fastened rotatably both to the frame part (1) and to the wing part (3), a support plate (5) fastened rotatably both to the sliding piece (2) and to the scissor arm (4), and at least one link (6) fastened rotatably to the wing part. When the link (6) is also fastened rotatably to the support plate (5) and the distance between the two axes of rotation of the link (6) is so small that the wing plate always rests with a substantial part on the support plate (5) the fitting is capable of absorbing considerably higher loads than conventional fittings of this type. <IMAGE>

Description

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich um einen Fensterbeschlag der in der Einleitung zu Anspruch 1 angegebenen Art.The present invention is a window fitting of the type specified in the introduction to claim 1.

Beschläge dieser Art, sogenannte Ausstellvorrichtungen, sind beispielsweise aus GB 2 047 309 B und US 3 345 777 A bekannt und so konstruiert, daß sich die Drehachse des Flügels beim Öffnen des Fenters vom Rahmen wegbewegt. Dadurch entsteht ein Spalt zwischen Flügel und Rahmen, der eine Reinigung der Außenseite des Fesnters von innen ermöglicht.Fittings of this type, so-called opening devices, are known for example from GB 2 047 309 B and US 3 345 777 A and are constructed in such a way that the axis of rotation of the wing moves away from the frame when the window is opened. This creates a gap between the sash and frame, which allows the outside of the window to be cleaned from the inside.

Bei den herkömmlichen Beschlägen ist ein Lenker sowohl an dem der Drehachse des Flügels am nächsten liegenden Ende des Flügelteils als an dem Gleitstück drehbar befestigt. Bei dem von GB 2 047 309 B bekannten Beschlag kann ein zusätzlicher Lenker am Flügelteil sowie an der Stützplatte drehbar befestigt sein. Auch mit diesem zusätzlichen Lenker ist der Beschlag nur in der Lage, relativ leichte Flügel zu tragen, weil das Flügelteil nur von den Enden des Scheren­arms und des Lenkers bzw. der Lenker unterstützt wird, wenn das Fenster ganz geöffnet wird.In the conventional fittings, a handlebar is rotatably fastened to both the end of the wing part closest to the axis of rotation of the wing and to the slider. In the fitting known from GB 2 047 309 B, an additional link can be rotatably attached to the wing part and to the support plate. Even with this additional handlebar, the fitting is only able to carry relatively light sashes because the sash part is only supported by the ends of the scissor arm and the handlebars or the handlebars when the window is fully opened.

Ein weiterer Nachteil bei den herkömmlichen Beschlägen kann beim Schließen des Fensters auftreten, wenn das der Drehachse am nächsten gelegene Ende, die Riegelnase, des Flügelteils in eine am Rahmenteil angeordnete Riegelvor­richtung geführt werden soll. Wegen eines unvermeidlichen Widerstands gegen dieses Einführen wird der Arm stark auf Biegung beansprucht. Dies bedeutet, daß eine einwandfreie Funktion nicht gewährleistet werden kann.A further disadvantage with the conventional fittings can occur when the window is closed, if the end closest to the axis of rotation, the locking nose, of the wing part is to be guided into a locking device arranged on the frame part. Because of an inevitable Resistance to this insertion, the arm is subjected to great bending stress. This means that proper functioning cannot be guaranteed.

Zweck der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Beschlag der betreffenden Art ohne die genannten Nachteile verfügbar zu machen.The purpose of the present invention is to make a fitting of the type in question available without the disadvantages mentioned.

Dies wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, daß der Beschlag wie in Anspruch 1 beschrieben ausgebildet ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that the fitting is designed as described in claim 1.

Bei dieser Konstruktion ruht ein erheblicher Teil des Flügelteils während der ganzen Drehbewegung zwischen der geschlossenen und der ganz geöffneten Position des Fensters auf der Stützplatte, die deshalb weitaus größere Be­lastungen als herkömmliche Beschläge aufnehmen kann.With this construction, a considerable part of the wing part rests on the support plate during the entire rotational movement between the closed and the fully open position of the window, which can therefore take up much greater loads than conventional fittings.

Bei einem Beschlag gemäß der Einleitung des Anspruchs 2 ist es gemäß der Erfindung zweckmäßig, den Beschlag wie im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 2 angegeben auszubilden.Dadurch wird eine problemlose Verriegelung gewährleistet, weil sich der Winkel unter dem die Verriegelung zwischen dem Verriegelungsende des Rahmenteils geschieht - und die Riegelvorrichtung sich nicht wesentlich während der Verriegelungsphase ändern.With a fitting according to the introduction of claim 2, it is expedient according to the invention to design the fitting as indicated in the characterizing part of claim 2. This ensures problem-free locking because the angle at which the locking occurs between the locking end of the frame part - and the locking device does not change significantly during the locking phase.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht des geschlossenen Beschlages,
  • Fig. 2 die zugehörige Draufsicht,
  • Fig. 3 die Draufsicht bei teilweise geöffneter Stellung des Beschlags,
  • Fig. 4 eine der Fig. 3 entsprechende Ansicht, jedoch in ca. 90° geöffneter Stellung des Beschlages.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • 1 is a side view of the closed fitting,
  • 2 the associated top view,
  • 3 is a top view with the fitting partially open,
  • Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to Fig. 3, but in about 90 ° open position of the fitting.

Der gezeigte Beschlag umfaßt ein Rahmenteil in Form einer C-Führungsschiene 1, die sich an einem Fensterrahmen befestigen läßt, und ein Flügelteil in Form einer Flügel­platte 3, die sich an einem Flügelrahmen befestigen läßt. Ein Gleitstück 2 ist in der Schiene 1 gelagert und läßt sich in Längsrichtung in dieser Schiene bewegen. Sowohl an der Führungsschiene 1 als an der Flügelplatte 3 ist ein Scherenarm drehbar befestigt, und sowohl an diesem als auch am Gleitstück 2 ist eine Stützplatte 5 drehbar befestigt. An der Flügelplatte 3 und an der Stützplatte 5 ist schließ­lich ein Lenker drehbar befestigt, dessen Länge bzw. Abstand zwischen seinen beiden Drehachsen so abgestimmt ist, daß die Flügelplatte 3 stets mit einem wesentlichen Teil auf der Stützplatte 5 ruht.The fitting shown comprises a frame part in the form of a C-guide rail 1, which can be attached to a window frame, and a wing part in the form of a wing plate 3, which can be attached to a wing frame. A slide 2 is mounted in the rail 1 and can be moved in the longitudinal direction in this rail. A scissor arm is rotatably fastened to both the guide rail 1 and the wing plate 3, and a support plate 5 is rotatably fastened to this as well as to the slide piece 2. Finally, a link is rotatably attached to the wing plate 3 and the support plate 5, the length or distance between its two axes of rotation being matched so that the wing plate 3 always rests with a substantial part on the support plate 5.

Wenn zugleich der Abstand zwischen den Drehachsen des Scherenarms 4 im Verhältnis zur Flügelplatte 3 und zur Stützplatte 5 mit dem Abstand zwischen den beiden anderen Achsen des Lenkers 6 übereinstimmt, werden die Lochachse der Flügelplatte 3 und die Lochachse der Stützplatte 5 jederzeit parallel sein. Dies bedeutet - wenn für die Riegelnase 8 der Flügelplatte eine entsprechende Riegelvor­richtung 7 vorhanden ist - daß sich der Verriegelungswinkel beim Schließen des Fensters nicht wesentlich ändert.If at the same time the distance between the axes of rotation of the scissor arm 4 in relation to the wing plate 3 and the support plate 5 corresponds to the distance between the other two axes of the link 6, the hole axis of the wing plate 3 and the hole axis of the support plate 5 will be parallel at all times. This means - if there is a corresponding locking device 7 for the locking lug 8 of the wing panel - that the locking angle does not change significantly when the window is closed.
