Just had two upvc tilt-and-turn windows delivered. Each one came with four of these parts:

Any idea what they are? They're 10cm long and 1cm deep and about 4.5cm front to back.

I can't see any part of the frame or opener that they interlock with.

I found the manufacturer's specifiers' guide online which identifies them (very helpfully) as "ancillaries, mouldings." LMO301 on page 13:

They look like the shims used between wall and frame during istallation.

Look more like bridge packers (used at the bottom and sometimes round
the side of the recess where the glazing fits).

It's hard to be sure frm that drawing. Bridge packers can be generic or
they can be made to clip into a particular frame which then it would
make sense they had a part number.

Do they fit into the rebate below an opening sash to take some of the
weight to prevent the sash from dropping?

They don't look like either the bridge packers, or the shims from my
windows, but then mine were not tilt&turn, and I suppose each
manufacturer is different

Guess, you'll have to contact the supplier ...

Thanks for all the replies.

I swallowed my pride and rang the manufacturer.

They clip into the sash to support the packers when the unit is toed and heeled.

I didn't think there was room for them in the sash but obviously there is. The chap at tech services was very friendly anyway.

They're run up blocks, sometimes used to square up the sash in the frame if
it needs it.
Most fitters throw them away on sight, you can keep them in your shed for
future requirements, and then throw them away at a later date.

Quote from somewhere suggesting they may a a security related application:

Our Run-up blocks are designed to clip fit. They are also engineered with sturdy side-walls which gives additional strength - a must in PAS001/BS7950 security tests where they work as anti-lift devices.

If they were suggesting they were anti-jemmy blocks, those are more
