ABSTRACT:
A window construction having fixed and movable frames and an associated latch assembly. The latch assembly includes a latch housing, a latch member reciprocable within said housing and a cam lock. The cam lock is rotatably mounted within the housing and has a first position wherein the cam lock urges a latch member into a locked position and a second position wherein the latch member may be moved to an unlocked position. The cam lock is preferably composed of a resilient, resinous material and has a cantilevered portion which engages a portion of the latch member. A special tool or key of predetermined configuration may be required to rotate the cam member. Among other uses, the latch may be employed in connection with double hung windows which are adapted to be tilted inwardly for cleaning. In such use the windows may be subjected to sliding movement regardless of the latch position, but tilting movement may be accomplished only when the latch assembly is in a locked position.
