Turning handle for the lock of a leaf of a window or similar and method for operating the lock

摘要

The handle has an actuating grip (3) provided in neutral position such that the grip is retracted in a sash or a leaf partially with regard to height and can be pivoted from the neutral position into a working position as a folding grip. The grip can be rotated about a rotational axis (17) in the working position. An operating element i.e. sliding element, is switched between a coupling and a decoupling position in relation to a control element (16), where the operating element rotates with grip only in the coupling position. An independent claim is also included for a method for actuating a closing mechanism of a sliding sash of a window and a leaf of a door.
