| (54) | Window restrictor |
| (57) This invention relates to a window restrictor, primarily for use upon a tilt and
turn window. The window has a window frame (2) and a window panel (1) which is movable
relative to the frame between a closed position and an open position, the window panel
having a lip (90) which overlies a part of the window frame when the window panel
is closed. The window restrictor has a first mounting part (16; 116) adapted for mounting
upon an edge (9) of the window frame in the gap between the window frame and the window
panel, a stay (20; 120) pivotably mounted upon the first mounting part, the stay comprising
a beam (32) and a hooked end (34; 134), the hooked end being adapted to engage and
retain a peg (36; 136) mounted upon the window panel, the stay being resiliently biased
relative to the first mounting part, a second mounting part (12; 112) adapted for
mounting upon the edge (9) of the window frame adjacent to the lip (90) of the window
panel, a slider (14; 114) which is movably mounted upon the second mounting part,
the slider having a control member (84; 184) adapted to lie underneath the lip and
to engage the stay. When used with a tilt and turn window the peg may be the stud
of the tilt and turn mechanism.
