A window stay for adjustable mounting of a window sash into a window frame. The window stay includes a first mounting plate (10) adapted for attachment to a frame of a window and a second mounting plate (11) adapted for attachment to a sash of a window. An arm (12) is pivoted at one end to the second mounting plate (11) and its other end is pivoted to the first mounting plate (10). The second mounting plate (11) is coupled to a carriage (14), preferably by being coupled directly thereto by a pivot joint (21). A carriage housing (17) extends longitudinally along the first mounting plate (10) and a portion of the carriage (14) is slidingly engaged within the housing. The carriage (14) has a wear resistant surface (14) which is in sliding contact with an inner wall surface of the housing (17). Adjustment means (25, 27) enable the contact pressure between the wear resistant surface and the inner wall surface to be adjusted. <IMAGE> |
