Please forgive me for reviving this old thread, but the OP examples present an opportunity for clarification. Are the locks on the OP examples called muelle de ventana and the release on the smaller one called a cierre de golpe and the larger one called a cierre de anilla? Or are all the locks called cierre and muelle just refers to an external spring?

What are these systems called in English?

The black one is Sevillan style but most likely made in Albacete.

The other one is a kind of mixed and it confuses me but it definitely looks Spanish, close to Albacetan style.
