Description

Technical area

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for securing window handles to prevent unauthorized changes to the locking state of the window handle according to the preamble of claim 1. State of the art

[0002] Window handles can usually be opened by turning them 90 degrees. Window locks are familiar from the state of the art, but they represent a complete innovation. Window locks from well-known manufacturers are based on special stainless steel rails that prevent the window from being opened from the outside. However, these solutions do not interfere with the rotation of the window handle; they simply prevent the window itself from being opened. This means that even if the handle is turned 90 degrees in the opening direction from the outside, the window still cannot be opened. This represents a different type of security. Description of the invention

[0003] The present invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages and providing a reliable and simple security solution for windows in recreational vehicles such as mobile homes and caravans. The device for securing window handles according to the invention is particularly designed to prevent the window from being easily opened or forced open from the outside, in particular by unauthorized persons such as burglars. The device is designed to prevent the rotational movement described above and thus block the opening of the window. The aim is to offer users an additional security barrier that protects their privacy and property without compromising the use of the window.

[0004] According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

[0005] The device according to the invention is formed from a shaped profile which can be arranged on the window handle and which comprises at least one handle receptacle aligned along a receptacle axis, wherein the shaped profile comprises at least one profile part which is aligned at an angle to the receptacle axis and extends on the shaped profile from the handle receptacle in the opposite direction to the opposite side of the shaped profile for blocking the rotational mobility of the window handle.

[0006] The device according to the invention advantageously consists of a 3D-printed shaped profile that is simply slipped onto the window handle. It preferably has a recess that allows it to be easily pulled onto the handle, where it then snaps into place. On one side of the window, the handle remains visible, while on the opposite side it is blocked by the extended locking part. The extended profile part connects to the window frame and thus ensures that the handle can no longer be moved, effectively preventing the window from being opened.

[0007] The device according to the invention thus makes it possible to secure the window by securely blocking the rotational movement of the window handle, thus preventing unauthorized opening. This solution ensures quiet, fast, and effective protection without modifying or permanently blocking the window handle itself.

[0008] The device according to the invention represents a particularly effective security solution for recreational vehicles such as mobile homes and caravans. In its preferred embodiment, it is simply slid over the window handles and prevents unauthorized opening of the window from the outside. The window opening is secured by a stable support on the window frame, so that the latch cannot be moved in the direction that would open the window. This prevents the rotating movement of the window handle (90 degrees to the window opening). This additional security measure prevents potential burglars from opening the window quickly, easily, and, above all, quietly. The device according to the invention thus offers reliable protection and increases security when parking and spending the night in recreational vehicles.The special design of the present invention also offers additional security, as there is currently no security device on the market that prevents the window lever from being deliberately opened from the outside using a wire or other tools. Brief description of the drawings

[0009] Further objects, features, advantages and possible applications of the device according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawings.

[0010] The drawings show Fig. 1 the device according to the invention in an advantageous embodiment in a perspective view from its rear side; Fig. 2 the device according to the invention as in Fig. 1 in perspective view from its front side; Fig. 3 the device according to the invention as in Fig. 1 in further views. Implementation of the invention

[0011] As from Fig. 1, the shaped profile 10 and / or the profile part 101 is preferably at least partially curved and / or at least partially bent with respect to the receiving axis AA, wherein the curved formation or the at least one bend extends between the handle receptacle 100 and the end of the profile part 101.

[0012] In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the shaped profile 10 and / or the profile part 101 is formed from a substantially flat shaped body, wherein the handle receptacle 100 is designed as a profile receptacle 1000 protruding on one side of the shaped profile 10.

[0013] In a further embodiment of the invention, a support profile 102 protruding on one side on the same side of the shaped profile 10 is formed opposite the profile holder 1000.

[0014] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a partially circular or arcuate receptacle 103 is formed on the shaped profile 10 between the handle receptacle 100 and the opposite side S.

[0015] The advantage of these embodiments is particularly evident in the device's ease of installation and use. The device according to the invention is easy to assemble and requires no complex tools or prior knowledge. The 3D-printed molded part 10 is simply placed onto the window handle and snaps into place. This allows the user to attach or remove the window lock in seconds.

[0016] The device according to the invention blocks the rotation of the window handle, preventing the window from being opened from the outside. This makes it virtually impossible for burglars to open the window, even if they attempt to manipulate the handle using a wire or other means.

[0017] The device according to the invention is preferably designed so that it is only truly visible on one side of the window. The window handle is visually extended somewhat by the device, but is virtually invisible due to its design. This provides an unobtrusive yet effective security measure.

[0018] The device according to the invention only blocks the rotation of the window handle and does not impair the regular function of the window. This means that the window can continue to be opened and closed normally as needed, as long as the device is removed.

[0019] Through the preferred use of robust, 3D-printed materials, the device according to the invention is durable and suitable for long-term use in various weather conditions without being easily damaged.
