A NOISE REDUCING LOCKING ASSEMBLY FOR A VENTILATING WINDOW

摘要

The invention relates to a locking assembly for a ventilating window having a sash arranged to be openable with respect to a main frame by pivotal movement about a pivot axis parallel to a pair of opposed sash members. The locking assembly comprises a casing secured to the sash member opposite a strike plate on the main frame. At least one pawl member is arranged in the casing to be movable between a locked position, in which it is in locking engagement with a stationary locking member of the strike plate, and an unlocked position, in which it is released from said locking engagement. A locking control mechanism controls the movement of the pawl member(s) and is operable by an operator member accessible from the inside of the window via at least one actuator slide. According to the invention the locking assembly further comprises an integrally formed noise reducing liner positioned to prevent direct contact between the fastening pin and the casing and between the pawl member and the casing, respectively.
