Patent ID: 7617707

Claim:
A window-locking assembly used on a window assembly and comprising: a body having a chamber being defined in the body between an open front and a closed rear; and a pivot hole being formed through a sidewall and communicating with the chamber; a handle being mounted pivotally in the body and having a proximal end; and an inner surface; and a mounting head being formed on protruding from the inner surface of the handle near the proximal end, being mounted rotatably in the pivot hole, extending into the chamber in the body and having a central shaft with a proximal end being attached to the inner surface of the handle; and an outer bearing surface and driver being formed part way around the central shaft at the proximal end, protruding radially out from the central shaft and inscribing an angle; and a locking device being connected to and moved by the handle in the chamber in the body and having a locking arm being mounted pivotally in the chamber in the body, being attached pivotally to the mounting head and having a mounting end being connected to the mounting head in the chamber near the pivot hole in the body with a mounting hole being formed through a center of the mounting end, corresponding to and being mounted around the mounting head and having a central hole segment; and a drive segment being formed coaxially part way around and communicating with the central hole segment and inscribing an angle significantly larger than the angle of the outer bearing surface and driver of the mounting head; and a locking end; and a mounting element mounted around a distal end of the central shaft of the mounting head and holding the locking arm on the mounting head, wherein the handle further has an outer surface; and two side edges; and a latch recess being elongated, formed longitudinally in the outer surface of the handle near the distal end and having two sides; an inner end; an outer end; a latch hole formed through the handle in the latch recess near the inner end and selectively aligning with one of the detents in the sidewall of the body; two detent holes formed transversely respectively through the side edges of the handle and the sides of the latch recess near the inner end; and two pivot holes formed respectively through the side edges of the handle and the sides of the latch recess between the latch holes and the detent holes; and a rocking latch being a flattened V-shape, mounted pivotally in the latch recess.
