U.S. 7,111,430


An ultra cost-efficient device, U.S. Patent 7,111,430 incorporates the best features of patent 6,823,626 plus additional installation simplicity and cost savings.

Formed from a single piece of stainless spring steel wire, the device can be 100% wireformed or riveted to additional parts as shown at the bottom right (the circular hook, available for all versions, is an effective child-resistant feature making disengagement of the Tilt Limiter™ more difficult for young fingers).

Methods for attaching the wireformed shapes to the sash and jamb can be as varied as your imagination. The device shown requires no fasteners and only two small holes, punched into the sash stile for complete installation. One-length-fits-all Tilt Limiters™ work with all windows ranging from 8" to 72" in height.  They are non-handed and compact, keeping inventory to the absolute minimum.

Additional U.S. and Canadian patents pending also cover this variant of the Tilt Limiter™.

The upper variation uses independent jamb slides and a safety release feature that prevents distortion damage to aluminum windows if the tilt feature is abused. Click on the certified laboratory test report below to see how incredibly strong and rugged the Tilt Limiter™ really is.








Hardware Manufacturers take note:

The device described in this patent will work exceptionally well as an integral part of an injection molded, fastener-less tilt-latch. Window manufacturers would be able to use your tilt latches fitted with Tilt Limiter™ technology, with absolutely no tooling changes made to their production lines. They simply slide your tilt-latch into place as usual, and the Tilt Limiter™ is automatically installed at the same time.
What could be more simple?
