Abstract: A 4-bar linkage assembly overcomes the space constraints of window assemblies having so-called “Euro-Groove” hardware mounting systems in which opposing mounting channels are formed in sash and frame members of the window assembly. A base portion of a vent bar of the linkage assembly fits within the sash channel, and an offset portion forms a stop against one end of the sash channel for locating the linkage assembly within a window sash. A track member attaches the linkage assembly to the frame channel. A fixed connection between the base portion and the offset portion projects between overhanging rails of the sash channel for supporting the offset portion. A spacer supports intermediate linkages of the assembly above sidewalls of the sash channel for operating the linkage assembly within a remaining clearance space between the sash and frame channels.

Abstract: A mechanism which selectably limits the opening of a hinged window vent. The mechanism has a releasable arm that permits the vent to be conveniently opened beyond the selected limit. An assembly is disclosed for limiting travel of a vent relative to a frame. The assembly includes a security fastener for restricting transition of the assembly between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. An arm is pivotally connected to a mounting bracket by a locking plate and a loading pin.

Abstract: A supporting bracket for windows which can be used on any side of a window and which can be mounted using existing central mount installation tooling is disclosed. The supporting bracket uses dual sided containment of the vent bar end for preventing sash play and uses camming surfaces to allow for immediate sash pull in which prevents weather-strip problems and prevents the supporting bracket from binding during an opening operation. In some embodiments, an end cap engages opposite sides of a symmetric vent bar end. In another embodiment, a pin attached to the vent bar is engaged on opposite sides by a track formed within the main track of the supporting bracket. In all embodiments, the vent bar and the link pivotally connecting the vent bar to the track are prevented from moving in a direction opposite the direction of opening during an opening operation. The arms of the supporting bracket may have fully rounded edges for preventing binding between adjacent arms during load. Also, the vent bar end and corresponding structure for dual sided containment in each embodiment are symmetrically shaped so that the supporting bracket may be utilized on any side of a window.
