Abstract
The present invention is directed at a locking slide block for slidably and pivotally mounting a window sash to a side member of a window frame having a vertical jamb channel. The window pivot has a housing with oppositely disposed sliding surfaces for guiding the housing in the jamb channel. Operably connected to the housing is a locking spring for selectively engaging the jamb channel and locking the housing in a fixed position. A sash pivot is operably connected to the sash and to the housing. The housing also has a sash pivot retainer spring. The pivot and housing have flanges to prevent the pivot from being pulled away from the housing proximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of an elongated portion of the pivot.
