ABSTRACT:
A window stop (10) for limiting movement of a sliding window along a predetermined path of window movement is provided. The window stop (10) has a housing (12) having a cavity (20) wherein the housing (12) is adapted to be positioned adjacent the path of window movement. A bolt (14), operatively associated with the cavity (20), is moveable between a first position (BP1) within the housing (12) and thereby out of the path of window movement, and a second position (BP2) extending out of the housing (12) into the path of the window movement whereby the window is able to contact the bolt (14). An actuator (16) is pivotally supported by the bolt (14) between a first position (AP1) locking the bolt (14) within the housing (12) and a second position (AP2) allowing the bolt (14) to extend to its second position (BP2). A spring (58) biases the bolt toward its second position. The bolt (14) receives forces from the window contacting the extended bolt (14). A tongue and groove arrangement is provided to allow efficient distribution of forces from the bolt (14) to the housing (12).
