sash in the window sash's cleaning position. The safety latch system comprises a first
part (4) which is mounted to the upper sash element (3a) and a second part (5) which
is mounted to the lower frame element (2c), and where the first part (4) comprises
i) a fixed element (6) which is fixed to the upper sash element (3a) and ii) a moveable
