WINDOW SECURING MEANS AND METHODS

摘要

An assembly with a ventilation arrangement for securing an openable aperture closure member (11) in closed position relative to an aperture defined by a main frame (12). The assembly further includes a compressible gasket disposed between the closure member (11) and the frame (12) defining the aperture. Each of the aperture closure member (11) and the main frame (12) includes a respective portion (20) of a magnetic means for securing said closure member (11) to the frame (12), wherein said magnetic means for securing includes a two magnetic that are magnetically attracted to one another. One portion is disposed on the openable closure member and thus being adapted to be movable by an operator with the openable closure member alternately into a magnetically attractive closure position and a magnetically unattractive opening position, whilst the other portion is disposed on the main frame. The gasket is at least partially compressed when the closure member (11) is secured to the aperture, and the magnetic locking means (20) overcoming the force needed to compress the gasket.
