Claim Text:
1. A sliding window assembly comprising: a window frame supporting a main glass with an opening, the window frame including a timer bearing and a main track; a carriage coupled in the window frame and supporting a slider glass sized to fit into the opening in the main glass, wherein the carriage is displaceable between an open position, a ready position, and a closed position, the carriage including a bearing track in which the timer bearing is engaged; a glider positioned in and moving linearly along the main track, the glider having a length at least as long as a length of the carriage, wherein the glider is provided with at least one stop at an end of the glider; and a lever assembly connecting the carriage with the glider, wherein the bearing track is shaped such that the carriage is linearly displaceable on the tinier bearing in a first direction between the open position and the ready position, and such that the carriage is linearly displaceable on the timer bearing in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction between the ready position and the closed position, wherein the lever assembly comprises a pivotable lever that is connected at a first connection point directly to the glider and at a second connection point directly to the carriage, wherein the first connection point constitutes a pivot axis for the pivotable lever, wherein the second connection point is spaced from the first connection point by a distance substantially corresponding to a distance displaced by the carriage between the ready position and the closed position, wherein the pivotable lever is displaceable between an active position and a locked position, and wherein the pivotable lever is configured such that from the active position to the locked position, the second connection point is pivoted around and over the first connection point, and the pivotable lever assumes an over center position.
