Abstract
Abstract A corner deviating device for a locking bar brace supported in a casement frame of window or a door has a one-piece housing which is provided in a corner region with a mounting opening for a spring band having drivers at its ends, the mounting opening being closable by an angular cover. One leg of the housing is insertable into a receiving groove of one wing of the casement frame, while the other leg of the housing is fixable on an edge strip of an associated receiving groove of another wing of the frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A corner deviating device of a locking bar brace with locking rods slidably supported in C-shaped receiving grooves of a casement frame of a window or a door, with receiving grooves formed with identical cross sections in all wings of the casement frame and having inwardly extending edge strips which are removed in a corner region of the casement frame for forming a mounting opening, the corner deviating device comprising an angular housing mountable on the casement frame and having at least two legs; a deviating member which is mounted on said housing and formed as a spring band which has two ends and is provided at said ends with drivers for associated locking bars thereof, said housing being formed as a one-piece member and having a corner region provided with a mounting opening for insertion of said spring band with said drivers therethrough; and an angular cover which closes said mounting opening, said legs of said housing being formed so that one of said legs is insertable into the receiving groove of one wing of the frame, and another of said legs is fixable on the edge strip of the associated receiving groove of another wing of the frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
200 words
A corner deviating device of a locking bar brace with locking rods slidably supported in C-shaped receiving grooves of a casement frame of a window or a door, with receiving grooves formed with identical cross sections in all wings of the casement frame and having inwardly extending edge strips which are removed in a corner region of the casement frame for forming a mounting opening, the corner deviating device comprising an angular housing mountable on the casement frame and having at least two legs; a deviating member which is mounted on said housing and formed as a spring band which has two ends and is provided at said ends with drivers for associated locking bars thereof, said housing being formed as a one-piece member and having a corner region provided with a mounting opening for insertion of said spring band with said drivers therethrough; and an angular cover which closes said mounting opening, said legs of said housing being formed so that one of said legs is insertable into the receiving groove of one wing of the frame, and another of said legs is fixable on the edge strip of the associated receiving groove of another wing of the frame.
