ABSTRACT:
A latch for selectively connecting a sash of a double-hung window to a slide track in a window frame, including a lever including a gear at one end, a latch housing mountable to the sash, the housing including means for pivotally supporting the lever, and a locking member movable between a locked position securing the sash to the track and an unlocked position releasing the sash from the track. The locking member includes a tongue projecting from the latch housing when the tilt latch is in the locked position and lying within the latch housing when the tilt latch is in the unlocked position, and a rack engaging the lever gear to move the locking member to locked and unlocked positions in response to pivoting of the lever. The lever gear includes a disk formed along one side, and the locking member includes a channel along the rack receiving the disk during pivoting of the lever. A stop is secured to the latch housing, which stop engages the locking member to prevent overpivoting of the lever arm when the lever arm is moved into the unlocked position. A detent is provided including first and second spaced grooves on one of the lower housing and the locking member and a protuberance on the other of the lower housing and the locking member. The housing includes upper and lower housings which are secured together to mount axially aligned pivots extending from opposite sides of the gear in open notches on one or the other housing members.
