Combined check rail lock and keeper

A concealed cam lock and keeper both of which can be mounted within cavities in the check rails of the respective lower and upper sash of a double hung window. The concealed cam lock has only an exposed handle with a raised section of the housing closing off a notch required for assembly of the housing with the check rail. The handle of the check rail lock has an offset to cover any wood splintering that may have occurred in the check rail of the lower sash in forming the check rail for receiving the housing of the check rail lock. The keeper is mountable in a cavity in the check rail of the upper sash at a location to permit mounting of weather stripping therebeneath and generally at the level of the lower edge of the window glazing and has downwardly inclined openings to receive fasteners for attaching the keeper to the check rail and which can extend into the check rail without interference with the glazing.

Concealed check rail lock and keeper

A check rail lock having a housing with an interior space which rotatably mounts a shaft connected to a handle and a cam and with stop members associated with the cam and the housing for limiting rotation of the cam between locked and unlocked positions. The cam is releasably held in either of these positions by mounting of a spring washer on the shaft to which the cam is fixed, and with the spring washer and the housing having coacting detent structure which releasably holds the cam in either the locked or unlocked position. The spring is generally concave for predetermined spring loading and has planar sections with detents to assure good engagement with detent notches on the housing.
