An improved window winder

A window winder for moving a movable pane of a window assembly between a closed and open position by rotation of a handle 92 wherein the window winder comprises an integral locking mechanism which is moved from the engaged/disengaged position though movement of the handle, preferably axial movement. The locking mechanism is preferably disengaged when the handle is pulled outwards, and comprises a toothed gear 96 which engages with a locking bar 101. A key may be used to fixing the locking mechanism in the locked or unlocked position. The handle may be biased, e.g. via a spring 115 into the raised position and may move within a housing 91 which is cup shaped.
