Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0552033A1] A locking handle for a door or window comprises a fixing plate (1), a handle (11) which is pivotally mounted on the fixing plate for movement between open and closed positions, and a catch (19) which automatically engages when the handle is moved into the closed position to prevent subsequent movement of the handle to an open position until the catch is released. The catch comprises a push button (21) which is pivotally mounted at (24) on the handle and is resiliently biased by spring means (25) to urge a first portion (29a) of the button into engagement with a first recess (10) of the fixing plate (1) when the handle is in the closed position, said engagement preventing turning of the handle, and the arrangement is such that depression of the push button (21) releases the catch by rocking the button against its resilient bias to move the first portion (29a) of the button out of the first recess (10) in a direction which is substantially at right angles to the direction in which the button is depressed. <IMAGE>
