Description

1 TARIFF GRADUAL LOCKING MECHANISM TECHNICAL AREA 5 This invention can be used in the furniture industry, for windows in sun loungers that function as casement windows. For use in mechanisms that are required to remain in a stepped and locked position. It relates to the developed stepped locking mechanism. For all types of stepped stops. It is a locking mechanism that can be used. STATE OF THE ART In the known state of the art, there are many Rastomat Telescopic systems with a similar function. A multi-stage locking mechanism is included. The currently used multi-stage mechanism. In the known state of the technique, the pin is locked into the lock tongue with a tight fit. This means... Over time, it loosens during use and the pin comes out. Thus, pin 15 It becomes unable to perform its locking function. In the known state of the art, the body is monolithic. It is open on one side. The upper and lower parts consist of three bends. There is a small margin of error in ensuring that the heights of the notches match. The notch is higher. If a load is placed on the higher notch, no load will be placed on the lower notch. Therefore, if no load is placed on the lower notch, the entire load is placed on one side, i.e., 20 It sits on the higher notch. This causes the pin to loosen and eventually fall out of place. This causes it to come loose and prevents a secure lock. The known technique... The pin in this position is solid and has limited flexibility. It is located in the locking tongue and is movable. There are holes in the handle. A spring system moves the locking tab back and forth. The technique... In its known configuration, springs and holes are used. The holes are perforated 25 of the locking tongue. It was drilled because they wanted to move away from the spring system. However, this hole... Drilling operations are costly. Below are some of the problems with the known state of the art. It has been explained in detail. The stepped mechanism, as is known in the state of the art, has a specific locking function. 30 used to provide and widely used in various applications today It is a preferred structure. However, there are certain weaknesses in current designs. One of them is the tight fit of the stepped mechanism pin to the lock tongue. 2 The reason is that it is fixed in place. This tight fit will change over time during use. It tends to loosen, and the pin can come out of place. This situation is caused by the pin providing... This reduces the effectiveness of the lockup and jeopardizes security. The current situation... This loosening problem in the system leads to a shortened lifespan over time. It opens and prevents the mechanism from working properly. 5 Another problem is that the mechanism's body is monolithic and open on only one side. The structure is such that the heights of the notches are exactly the same. This prevents it from arriving, which is a significant weakness in terms of functionality. This creates a problem, especially when a load is placed on the higher notch; a lower 10 No load is placed on the notch, which leads to the load being concentrated on a single notch. This opens it up. Concentrating the load at one point ensures the mechanism functions properly. this prevents the pin from loosening and coming loose over time. This type of faulty load transfer prevents the locking function from being performed adequately. This results in a mechanism that is unable to do so. 15 Furthermore, the fact that the pin's interior is solid and its flexibility is limited prevents locking. This further reduces the effectiveness of its function. The lack of flexibility, This prevents the mechanism from offering a more flexible and robust structure, which leads to locking. This could result in the language not working as reliably as it should. The key language and 20 The holes in the movable arm enable the spring system to move, allowing for forward and backward motion. Although it causes problems, this system also offers long-term durability and safety. It contains elements that could pose a problem in this regard. In conclusion, these weaknesses in the current stepped mechanism design, 25 It imposes limitations in terms of lifespan and safety. Therefore, due to the drawbacks described above and the current usage... Due to its shortcomings, it has become necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. Therefore, an invention is needed to overcome these problems. 30 3 DEFINITION OF INVENTION The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical In order to bring new advantages to the field, in the furniture sector, in sun loungers... windows that are desired to remain in a stepped and locked position when functioning as tilt-and-turn windows It relates to a stepped locking mechanism developed for use in mechanisms. 5 It is a locking mechanism that can be used for all types of stepped stops. The invention utilizes a slotted pin. Because the slotted pin is hollow, the material that comes into contact with it... It absorbs the load and stretches. It returns to its original position, meaning it has high elasticity. Material It is made of steel. When a load is applied, it flexes and therefore does not come loose. Therefore, 10 It securely performs its locking function. The body and lid in this invention are not integral. A two-part structure has been created. A support is placed between the two parts on the main body. There are riveting protrusions on the left side. Therefore, when the main body and the cover are joined... Riveting is performed, and in this way the cover and the main body are separated from each other. There is no chance. In alternative applications of the invention, besides riveting, spot welding or 15 This connection can also be established with the source. Furthermore, in the current state of the art... Drilling operations have been eliminated and a less costly method has been used by employing leaf springs. A structure has been established. The invention is a stepped locking mechanism in larger and smaller sizes, of different dimensions and 20 It can be produced in different sizes.
