An apparatus for a tilt lock latch mechanism to be incorporated in double hung windows. In one embodiment, the tilt lock latch mechanism includes a rotatable element which rotates serially from a locked position, to an open position, to a tilt position.

Methods and apparatus for a single lever tilt lock latch window

The present invention is directed to a locking slide block slidably and pivotably mounting a window sash to a side member of a window frame having a vertical jamb channel. The locking slide block has a housing with oppositely disposed sliding surfaces for guiding the housing in the jamb channel. Operably connected to the housing is a locking means for selectively engaging the jamb channel and locking the housing in a fixed position, and a cam for selectively operating the locking means. A sash pivot operatively connected to the cam is operably connectable to the sash. The housing also has a sash pivot retainer spring. A retaining means is utilized to protect a free second end of the retainer spring from bowing and deforming due to forces applied to the window sash in operation.

Locking slide block

The roller assembly of this invention comprises a grooved wheel attached to a perforated metal tape or spring which is movable over a sloping track by means of a toothed gear wheel or sprocket.

Sliding panel roller assembly

This invention relates to a balance assembly for windows in which a gas pressurized piston and cylinder device with pulley wheels at each end acts as a balance element for the windows.

Balance assembly for a window

The invention relates to tilt-out window assemblies in which a window sash may be rotated from its normal vertical position causing a slide block connected to a spring balance assembly to be locked into place to prevent release of the spring balance assembly on tilting or removal of the window sash from the window frame. The slide block rides in the jamb channel in which the window sash normally slides up and down and incorporates a rotatable locking cam. The locking cam is rotated on tilting of the window sash so as to force a set of locking members against the sides of the window frame jamb channel to engage the block into a fixed position in the channel. The window sash is operatively connected to the locking cam to provide rotation thereof to lock the slidable block. The window sash may be removed from the frame and from engagement with the locking cam if desired.
