Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of door and window technology, specifically a simple window latch. Background Technology

[0002] Window latches are an important part of windows. Window latches generally come in the following types: Spherical latches: These can be used both inside and outside the window. They have a spherical handle and are usually made of brass or stainless steel. Many models are available to match your home's decor. Some spherical latches can only be opened by turning the handle from the outside, while others require a key. Sliding window locks: These are suitable for sliding windows. The latch is claw-shaped or hook-shaped. Once locked inside, a key is needed to open it. There is no handle, and the lock has a double latch, requiring a key to open from either the inside or outside. Push-pull window locks: These locks are characterized by their small size and are the most commonly used window locks on the market.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0031] A simple window latch, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the window includes a window frame structure 1 with a lock hole 2. One end of the lock hole 2 is a round hole 3 for installation, and the other end is a keyway 4 for supporting rotation. A latch 5 is installed inside the lock hole 2. The latch 5 includes a crossbar 501. One end of the crossbar 501 is fixedly connected to a first limiting piece 502, and the other end is fixedly connected to a second limiting piece 503. This simple window latch design provides a simple yet effective window locking mechanism. By installing the latch 5 in the lock hole 2 of the window frame structure 1, it ensures that the window is securely locked when closed, preventing accidental opening or swinging, thus improving home security. Simultaneously, the fixed connection between the first limiting piece 502 and the second limiting piece 503 and the crossbar 501 forms a stable limiting structure, ensuring that the latch 5 is firmly installed in the lock hole 2 and will not fall off or shift due to external forces. This not only enhances the stability of the latch but also extends its service life, providing users with a more reliable window locking solution.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 There are two lock holes 2, located on the front and rear sides of the window frame structure 1 respectively. By opening a lock hole 2 on each side of the window frame structure 1, greater flexibility and convenience are provided to the user. This design allows the latch 5 to be installed on the front or rear side of the window according to actual needs, better adapting to different installation environments. At the same time, the double lock hole design also enhances the security of the window. Users can choose to install latches in both lock holes, thereby achieving double locking of the window and further improving the window's anti-theft and anti-pry performance.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A rotating rod 504 is rotatably connected to the second limiting plate 503. By rotatably connecting the rotating rod 504 to the second limiting plate 503, a convenient operating handle is provided for the user, making unlocking and locking the window easier and more intuitive. The user can simply rotate the rotating rod 504 to complete the locking or unlocking action, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The rotating rod 504 has two circular grooves 505, which are mirror images of each other. By creating two mirror images of the circular grooves 505 on the rotating rod 504, a more comfortable grip and operating experience is provided for the user. The design of the circular grooves 505 allows the user's fingers to naturally fit into the grooves when rotating the rotating rod 504, increasing the stability and comfort of operation. At the same time, the mirror image arrangement of the circular grooves 505 also takes into account the convenience of left- or right-handed use. Whether the user is left- or right-handed, they can find a suitable circular groove 505 for operation, taking into account the usage habits of different users and further improving the user experience.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The window frame structure 1 is equipped with a hook 6. By setting the hook 6 on the window frame structure 1, a fixing point is provided for the user to ensure that the window frame can be locked more securely, increasing the tightness and stability of the installation. At the same time, when the window is locked, the hook 6 can increase the strength of the window and improve the safety of the window.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating rod 504 features rounded corners, effectively preventing sharp edges from causing scratches or discomfort to the user's hands during operation. This design allows for safer and more comfortable operation when rotating or holding the rotating rod 504. Furthermore, the rounded corners enhance the aesthetics of the rotating rod 504, making its overall lines smoother and softer, improving the visual appeal and making the lock more in line with the aesthetic needs of modern homes.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diameter of the first limiting piece 502 is smaller than that of the circular hole 3, and larger than that of the short axis of the keyway 4. The design that the diameter of the first limiting piece 502 is smaller than that of the circular hole 3 allows the latch 5 to be smoothly installed into the lock hole 2 of the window frame structure 1 through the circular hole 3, ensuring that the installation process of the latch is simple and smooth. At the same time, the diameter of the first limiting piece 502 is larger than that of the short axis of the keyway 4, which effectively prevents the latch 5 from accidentally falling out of the lock hole 2 after installation, providing a stable locking effect and ensuring the safety of the window.

[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The diameter of the second limiting piece 503 is larger than the diameter of the round hole 3 and the short shaft dimension of the keyway 4. The larger diameter of the second limiting piece 503 ensures that the latch will not slip out from the round hole 3 end after installation, thereby increasing the stability and security of the latch. At the same time, the larger diameter of the second limiting piece 503 is also larger than the short shaft dimension of the keyway 4, which further enhances the fixing effect of the latch in the lock hole 2. Even if the window is subjected to external force, this design can ensure that the latch will not be pulled out or shaken from the keyway 4 end, providing users with more reliable security.

[0039] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, after the window is installed, the first limiting piece 502 can be passed through the round hole 3, and then the downward mirror crossbar 501 can be inserted into the keyway 4. At this time, the first limiting piece 502 and the second limiting piece 503 form a limiting structure, so that the latch 5 will not fall out of the lock hole 2. At the same time, the keyway 4 and the crossbar 501 form a rotating mechanism, which facilitates the temporary simple locking of the window and the window frame and prevents the window from moving due to lack of fixation.

[0040] When it is necessary to rotate the latch 5, pinch the arc groove 505 and rotate the latch 5 to complete the unlocking operation.

[0041] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
