Abstract

A fitting arrangement for a window or a door has a drive bar with a through-hole. A control pin and/or a counter element of the fitting arrangement is/are passed through the through-hole and connected to one another such that the control pin is captively retained on the drive bar. The control pin is preferably connected to the counter element without the use of tools. Particularly preferably, a spring element is provided which latches the control pin by pressing the control pin and the counter element axially together. The spring element can be designed in the form of a circlip which, in the not yet assembled state, is arranged on the control pin or the counter element.

Claims (60)

1 . A fitting arrangement for a window or a door, comprises:

a displaceable drive bar with a through-hole;

a control pin and a counter element arranged on the control pin, wherein the control pin and/or the counter element is passed through the through-hole and the counter element engages behind the drive bar;

wherein either:

a) the counter element is mounted on the control pin without a use of tools;

b) the counter element is mounted on the control pin by a frictional engagement; and/or

c) the fitting arrangement has a slot nut on the control pin where the slot nut is pivoted in the counter element up to a stop of the counter element and engages behind the counter element;

wherein the fitting arrangement has a carriage, the carriage comprising:

a roller part with a running roller;

a fastening part mountable on a leaf of the window or door;

a guide slot in the fastening part;

a control slot in the roller part that extends at least in sections obliquely to the guide slot;

wherein the control pin projects into the guide slot and the control slot in order to displace the roller part relative to the fastening part by a movement of the drive bar.

2 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the counter element is arranged on the control pin and the counter element cannot be released from the control pin in a non-destructive manner.

3 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the counter element is mounted on the control pin in a form-fitting manner.

4 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the fitting arrangement has a spring element which is arranged between the control pin and the counter element and in the assembled state engages indirectly or directly with the control pin and the counter element in a form-fitting manner.

5 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the control pin and/or the counter element have a lead-in chamfer for widening or pressing-together of the spring element during mounting of the counter element on the control pin.

6 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the spring element is designed as a spring ring.

7 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the counter element is configured to be passed through the through-hole together with the control pin, wherein the counter element is configured to be widened after passing through in order to engage behind the drive bar in the assembled state.

8 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the counter element is designed in the form of a cap where the cap during assembly is radially expandable by an axial movement relative to the control pin.

9 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the counter element is displaceable in a longitudinal direction of the drive bar and in the assembled state engages with a securing groove of the control pin.

10 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the control pin is held on the counter element by a press fit.

11 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 10 , wherein a round billet is inserted into the control pin and engages behind the counter element in the assembled state.

12 . The fitting arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the control pin and/or the counter element has/have a retaining claw in order to prevent the counter element from being pulled off the control pin.

13 . The window or the door comprising a fixed frame and a leaf, wherein the fitting arrangement according to claim 1 is mounted on the leaf.

14 . A method for mounting the fitting arrangement of claim 1 , comprising the method steps of:

guiding the control pin through the through-hole of the drive bar;

securing the control pin by the counter element; and

including the step of either:

a) mounting the counter element on the control pin without a use of tools;

b) mounting the counter element on the control pin by frictional engagement; and/or

c) pivoting the slot nut on the control pin until the slot nut abuts against the stop in the counter element.

15 . A fitting arrangement for a window or a door, comprises:

a displaceable drive bar with a through-hole;

a control pin and a counter element arranged on the control pin, wherein the control pin and/or the counter element is passed through the through-hole and the counter element engages behind the drive bar;

wherein either:

a) the counter element is mounted on the control pin without a use of tools; and/or

b) the counter element is mounted on the control pin by a frictional engagement,

wherein the counter element is configured to be passed through the through-hole together with the control pin, wherein the counter element is configured to be widened after passing through in order to engage behind the drive bar in the assembled state.

16 . A fitting arrangement for a window or a door, comprises:

a displaceable drive bar with a through-hole;

a control pin and a counter element arranged on the control pin, wherein the control pin and/or the counter element is passed through the through-hole and the counter element engages behind the drive bar;

wherein either:

a) the counter element is mounted on the control pin without a use of tools; and/or

b) the counter element is mounted on the control pin by a frictional engagement,

wherein the counter element is displaceable in a longitudinal direction of the drive bar and in the assembled state engages with a securing groove of the control pin.

17 . A fitting arrangement for a window or a door, comprises:

a displaceable drive bar with a through-hole;

a control pin and a counter element arranged on the control pin, wherein the control pin and/or the counter element is passed through the through-hole and the counter element engages behind the drive bar;

wherein either:

a) the counter element is mounted on the control pin without a use of tools; and/or

b) the counter element is mounted on the control pin by a frictional engagement;

c) wherein the control pin is held on the counter element by a press fit, wherein a round billet is inserted into the control pin and engages behind the counter element in the assembled state.

18 . A fitting arrangement for a window or a door, comprises:

a displaceable drive bar with a through-hole;

a control pin and a counter element arranged on the control pin, wherein the control pin and/or the counter element is passed through the through-hole and the counter element engages behind the drive bar;

wherein:

a) the counter element is mounted on the control pin without the use of tools;

b) wherein the counter element is mounted on the control pin in a form-fitting manner;

c) wherein the fitting arrangement has a spring element which is arranged between the control pin and the counter element and in the assembled state engages indirectly or directly with the control pin and the counter element in a form-fitting manner.
