Abstract

An opening/closing arrangement, for example for opening/closing of windows, consists of two arms (1) and (2), which at one end are mutually swingably hinged by a hinge (5) and at the opposite end are swingably hinged, respectively, to a window frame (4) by a hinge (6) and to a window (3) by a hinge (7). The arms (1) and (2) are furthermore a distance from the hinge (5) mutually interconnected by a push/pull rod (8), which at one end is swingably attached to the arm (2) and at the other end is eccentrically swingable mounted by a swivel joint (10) on an activating arm (11), which can be given a turning movement in the clockwise or anticlockwise direction round an axis (c-c), whereby the swivel joint (10) is moved in a circle or semicircle from en extreme position in which the swivel joint (10) is the farthest distance away from the arm (2) over an intermediate to another extreme position in which the rod (8) is parallel with the activating arm (11) in which position the window is open, and then, when the window is closed is moved back again. The activating arm (11) is coupled to a driving arrangement, which can consist of a gear (13) coupled to an electric motor (14), which can be remote controlled. The gear (13) and the motor (14) are fixed to the arm (1). The arrangement offers a high speed and low force in the intermediate positions and a low speed and high force in the extreme positions. Consequently the closing force is high. The jamming risk is low.

Description

Opening/closing arrangement, for example for opening/closing of windows.
The present invention relates to an opening/closing arrangement for the opening/closing of for example windows.
Window openers are known by which the window is opened and closed by means of a remote controlled chain drive. Such window openers are of a complicated construction and therefore cost expensive to produce. They exert a constant force and therefore the risk of jamming is a correspondingly high.
It is a purpose of the present invention to describe an opening/closing arrangement without the drawbacks of the known window openers,
This is achieved by embodying the opening/closing arrangement as described in the characterising part of claim 1.
The result is that the opening/closing arrangement is of simple construction and consequently has a low production cost. The opening/closing speed can be adjusted. The arrangement exerts a low force in the intermediate positions and a high force in the extreme positions. This consequently gives a strong closing force, the jamming risk is reduced, and a window can be given any desired intermediate position.
In claim 2 it is described how the load factor on the arm attached to the window will be the least possible.
In claim 3 it is described how the point of attack of the push/pull rod on the arm attached to the window in an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention can slide during the opening/closing movement.
Claim 4 relates to a preferred attachment of the push/pull rod to the activating arm and to the arm hinged to the window in an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention, and
claim 5 relates to a preferred embodiment of the hinges for attachment of the arms to the window and the window frame in an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention. The invention is explained in detail below with reference to the drawing, in which
fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention, seen from above, in its closed position.
fig. 2 is an illustration corresponding to the one in fig. 1 in which the opening/closing arrangement is shown in a partially open position,
fig 3 is an illustration corresponding to the one in fig. 1 showing the opening/closing arrangement in its fully open position.
fig. 4 shows the opening/closing arrangement seen in the direction of the arrows l-l in fig. 1,
fig. 5 shows a section after the line IWI in fig. 1,
fig. 6 shows a section after the line Ill-Ill in fig. 2,
fig. 7 shows a section after the line IV-IV in fig. 3,
fig. 8 is a schematic view, seen from above, on a slightly reduced scale of an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention in a closed, slightly open, and fully open position,
fig. 9 is a smaller scale view, seen from the inside, of a window in its closed position with an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention,
fig. 10 shows an illustration corresponding to the one in fig. 9 in which the window is in a slightly open position,
fig. 11 is an illustration corresponding to the one in fig. 9 in which the window is in its fully open position,
fig. 12 is a larger scale view of a section B in fig. 9,
fig. 13 is a larger scale view of a section C in fig. 10,
fig. 14 is a larger scale view of a section D in fig. 11 , fig. 15 is a larger scale perspective view of a slightly altered embodiment of an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention.
fig. 16 is a smaller scale view from above of the opening/closing arrangement shown in fig. 15, and
fig. 17 shows a an electric diagram for the control of an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention.
As shown in fig. 1 an opening/closing arrangement according to the invention comprises two arms 1 and 2, which, seen from above in the closed position of the window 3, where the window rests against an edge in a window frame 4, extends in the direction of the window 3, which is to be activated. At one end the two arms 1 and 2 are swingably attached by a hinge 5. The arm 1 is at the opposite end of the hinge 5, swingably hinged to a window frame 4 by a hinge 6, and the arm 2 is at the opposite end of the hinge (5), swingably hinged to a window frame 3 by a hinge 7.
A distance from the hinge 5 the arms 1 and 2 are coupled together by a push/pull rod 8, which at one end can be carried through an opening 9 in the arm 2 and at the other end is eccentrically turnably mounted by a swivel joint 10 on an activating arm 11 , which can be given a turning motion clockwise or counterclockwise around an axis c-c. This will move the swivel joint 10 as shown in figs. 5-7 in a circle or semicircle from an extreme position, fig 5, in which the swivel joint 10 is the farthest possible distance away from the arm 2, and in which the push/pull rod 8 is parallel with the activating arm 11 , in which position the window is closed, to an intermediate position, fig. 6, in which the window is partially open. If desired the window can remain fixed in this position, or the swivel joint can be moved on to an other extreme position, fig. 7, in which the push/pull rod is parallel with the activating arm 11 , and in which the window is fully open. When the window is to be closed the swivel joint 10 is returned to its initial position.
The driving arm 11 is coupled to a driving mechanism by an axle 12. The driving mechanism can consist of a gear, preferably a planet gear 13, coupled to an electric motor 14, which can be remote controlled. The driving mechanism can be fastened to the arm 1 by a mount 16 and can as shown be oriented in the longitudinal direction of the arm 1.
The arm 2 can be positioned approximately opposite to or level with the pivot axis c-c. This will have the least possible effect on the arm 2. As shown in fig. 1 the opening 9 can be embodied as a longitudinal slit in the arm 2, whereby the torsion effect on the rod is reduced or avoided.
As shown in fig. 8 the hinge 7 on the arm 2, when the window is being opened or closed, is moved in a plane e-e at right angles to the window 3 and the window frame 4.
The speed of motion of the push/pull rod 8 and consequently of the arms 1 and 2 is minimal in the extreme positions. This results in a correspondingly great closing force, when the window is being closed.
As shown in figs. 15 and 16 the arms 1 and 2 may instead of flat iron be made of round profiles. The rod 8 can be coupled to the arm 2 and to the activating arm 11 by a ball joint, and the hinges 6 and 7 can be embodied as ball joints.
The motor 14 can be powered by an electric circuit, which as shown in fig. 17 can consist of a 24 V transformer 17, which on its output side is connected to two reversing switches 18 built into a switch from which the current is conducted through contact breakers 19 to the motor 14. Parallelly above each breaker there is an integrated diode 20.
The driving arrangement can instead of a horizontal axis of rotation c-c be embodied with a vertical axis of rotation.
The activating arrangement can instead of a motor be manually operated, for example via a wire arrangement.
