Jan 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/494272
Inventors:
Peter J. Minter - Branford CT
John A. Chiaia - Branford CT
Assignee:
Roto Frank of America, Inc. - Essex CT
International Classification:
E05C 106
US Classification:
292142, 292DIG 20, 292DIG 47
Abstract:
A lock handle assembly for a multi-point casement window is disclosed. The lock handle assembly includes an escutcheon for mounting to the inside surface of the frame. The escutcheon includes an elongated body which features an inner side facing away from the inside surface of the frame and an outer side that extends through the inside surface of the frame. The escutcheon further includes an elongated slot for receiving a handle through the inner side of the escutcheon. The slot comprises an upper end and a lower end defined by upper and lower walls respectively. The handle is pivotally connected to the escutcheon by a shaft having an axis that extends transversely through the slot. The shaft further connects a movable link to the handle. The shaft also passes through a fixed gear which is secured to the escutcheon. The fixed gear includes an arcuate gear.

Lock Handle Assembly For Casement Windows

US Patent:
6425611, Jul 30, 2002
Filed:
Jan 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/493598
Inventors:
Peter J. Minter - Branford CT
John A. Chiaia - Branford CT
Assignee:
Roto Frank of America, Inc. - Essex CT
International Classification:
E05C 308
US Classification:
2923363, 292DIG 33, 74533, 74540
Abstract:
A lock handle assembly for a casement window is provided. The lock handle assembly includes an escutcheon that includes an inner side and an outer side. The escutcheon is securable to the frame inside a cavity with at least a portion of the inner side of the escutcheon being disposed at the inside surface of the frame. The escutcheon also includes an upper wall and a lower wall with an elongated recess disposed therebetween for receiving a handle and defining the limits of rotation of the handle. The handle extends into the recess and is connected to a drive disk. The drive disk is pivotally connected to a fixed gear plate thereby providing a rotational axis for the handle. The fixed gear plate is secured to an inside surface of the frame. The fixed gear plate includes an arcuate gear segment. The drive disk is also connected to a drive gear link which includes a proximal end having an arcuate gear segment enmeshed with the arcuate gear segment of the fixed gear plate and a distal end which is connected to a connecting link at the connecting axis and which is connected to a tie bar.

Casement Window With Improved Tie Bar Guide And Striker

View page
US Patent:
6651389, Nov 25, 2003
Filed:
Dec 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/742741
Inventors:
Peter J. Minter - Branford CT
John A. Chiaia - Branford CT
Assignee:
Roto Frank of America, Inc. - Essex CT
International Classification:
E05B 6506
US Classification:
49394, 292 36, 292302, 292DIG 33
Abstract:
An improved casement window is provided which includes a tie bar and at least two tie bar guides through which the tie bar slidably extends. The tie bar guides are secured to a window frame which includes an elongated groove that extends parallel to the tie bar. Each tie bar guide includes at least one locating leg that extends outward from the tie bar guide body and that is received in the groove of the window frame to assist in the easy location of the tie bar guide and tie bar along the window frame. Further, each tie bar guide may be equipped with a protruding nib that is received in an aperture disposed in the tie bar. The cooperation of the tie bar guide and the aperture of the tie bar ensures that the tie bar guide is properly spaced along the length of the tie bar. The nib is sheared off of the tie bar guide after the tie bar guide is secured to the window frame and the tie bar is moved axially through the guide. The tie bar guide may also include outwardly protruding ribs that provide structural support for the wood stop that overlays the tie bar, the tie bar guides and the window frame.

Actuator For Use In Fenestration Systems

View page
US Patent:
7708322, May 4, 2010
Filed:
Nov 3, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/980204
Inventors:
E. Erik Timothy - Apollo Beach FL, US
Peter Minter - East Haven CT, US
Assignee:
Caldwell Manufacturing Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
E05C 1/02
E05C 1/00
US Classification:
292137, 292 36, 292 38, 2923363, 292DIG 20, 292DIG 47, 49394
Abstract:
An actuator for use in fenestration systems having a swinging sash or door is characterized by the use of a linear member running continuously from an actuating assembly to a locking pin assembly. The linear member can be a flexible linear member, allowing it to convey motion to the locking pin assembly around corners. The locking pin assembly has a moveable locking pin with an actuator and an extension that can engage a keeper. The linear member has multiple actuator engagement sites along its length where the actuator of the locking pin can engage the linear member. The linear member can then be used to move the locking pin with respect to the locking pin assembly so that the extension can engage or disengage a keeper. The locking pin assembly can be mounted on a fenestration frame and the keeper opposingly mounted on a window or door mounted in the fenestration frame. Alternately, the keeper can be incorporated into the fenestration frame and the locking pin assembly opposingly mounted on the window or door mounted in the fenestration frame.

Low Friction Adjustable Roller Pin

View page
US Patent:
7946633, May 24, 2011
Filed:
Sep 10, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/852441
Inventors:
Peter Minter - Reno NV, US
Assignee:
Interlock USA, Inc. - Reno NV
International Classification:
E05C 9/00
E05C 1/04
US Classification:
292 23, 292 9, 292150, 49394
Abstract:
A roller pin of the type mounted on a tie bar that slides to drive the roller pin into engagement with a keeper of a casement window includes an inner pin and an outer roller. The outer roller includes an integral outer flange that is circular and spins with the outer roller to reduce friction during engagement with keeper. The inner pin includes an offset mounting pin at one end and is enlarged at the other end to hold the outer roller on the inner pin. The enlarged end of the inner pin is flush with the outer flange and is provided with a recessed opening that receives a tool, such as a screwdriver, to rotate the inner pin and adjust its position relative to the tie bar and a keeper. The invention is also directed to a tie bar and multiple roller pins in combination.

Lock Mechanism For A Casement Window

View page
US Patent:
8353541, Jan 15, 2013
Filed:
Aug 19, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/194314
Inventors:
Peter Minter - Reno NV, US
Assignee:
Interlock USA, Inc. - Reno NV
International Classification:
E05C 1/02
US Classification:
292137, 292158
Abstract:
The invention relates to a lock mechanism for a casement window having a keeper adapted to be attached to a sash, a lockbar adapted to be attached to a frame for engaging with the keeper to lock the casement window, and an actuator for actuating the lockbar to engage with the keeper. The actuator includes a fork having a V shaped groove, the V shaped groove includes a first leg and a second leg, and the actuator includes a switch having a channel for placement of a drive pin. The switch is rotatably mounted at a juncture of the first and second legs so that the channel generally aligns with either the first leg or the second leg for facilitating alignment of the drive pin within the V shaped groove.

Child Safety Casement Operator Cover

View page
US Patent:
20140069016, Mar 13, 2014
Filed:
May 19, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/118066
Inventors:
Daniel Perry - Reno NV, US
Peter J. Minter - Reno NV, US
Assignee:
Interlock USA, Inc. - Reno NV
International Classification:
E05F 15/00
US Classification:
49 31, 49279
Abstract:
A child safety device for a casement window includes a handle-driven gear reduction assembly having a sensor gear driven at a reduced speed relative to the handle, a sensor arm driven by the sensor gear of the gear reduction assembly and a slider movable between a stop position where rotation of the handle is prevented and a retracted position where rotation is allowed. A spring biases the slider towards the stop position. The slider is held in the retracted position by a catch and is released by the sensor arm to prevent further opening of the window when the sensor gear reaches a predetermined location. The safety device resets when the window is closed and can be overridden to allow full opening of the window by an adult. In the preferred design, the child safety device is a cover that can replace the cover of an existing casement window operator.
