MEANS FOR HOLDING SASH IN POSITION.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it. known that 1, ANDREW BRUNTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the ,county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Means for Holding Sash in Position, of which the following is a. full, clear, concise, and exact description,.reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this spec fication.
My invention relates to improvements in window supports and has for its object the production of a device by means of which a swinging sash or window may be yieldingly held in any desired open position or locked in position when closed.
- -A further object is the production of a simple device by the use of which the window or sash may be held open to any de-- embodiments of which are illustrated in the.
- accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a front view of a transom equipped with my improvement;
Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 represents a sectional view of the sash and frame showing wings or brackets; Fig. 4 represents a sectional view on the line 44 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a portion of Fig. 1, showing the transom closed; Fig. 6 represents a sectional view on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; Fig. 7 represents an end view of Fig. 8; 8 represents an enlarged front elevation showing' a portion of Fig. 1 with a lower fastening device; Fig. 9 represents a side eleva tion of Fig. 8; Fig. 10 represents a sectional detail showing a modification; and Fig. 11 represents a sectional view on the line 11-11 of Fig. 1. m I
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts'in theseveral figures of the drawings. I have illustrated my device in connection with a transom, hinged at the bottom, and in Figs. 1 and 2 the numeral 12 represents Specification of Letters Patent. Pafiientd Jan. 21, 1913. Application filed March 27, 1912. Serial'No. 686,693. I
The sash i held normally closed by any suitable locking means, such for instance as a spring bolt 16 on the. sash adapted to look into the socket 17 on the frame. -At its lower end the bolt is provided with an ordinary gripping ring 18 by means of which the bolt can be withdrawn and the transom openedin the usual manner.
On either or both sides'of the transom I provide frictional retaining means, by
' means of which thesash may be kept in any desired position, comprising broadly a swinging supporting bar '19 pivotally mounted at itsupper end on a bolt 20 in the upturned ear or flange of a bracket 21 portion of its length, as shown at 22, the sides of the slot being either smooth, as
shownat 22 (Fig. 9), or notched, as shown 'mounted on the frame. The bar or brace 19 is interiorly slottedthroughout the greater in Fig. 2. On the face of the'sash is mounted an ear or bracket 23 provided with a pocket 2 1 in the bottom of which is screwed a bolt 24 surrounded by a spring 25. The outer end of the bolt passes through the slot 22 in thebar 19 and washers 26, 26 e are mounted on the 'bolt on either side on the face of the bar; the. head 27 of the bolt holding the parts securely in place. The spring is normally under'compression so as to force the washer 26 against the inner .face of the bar 19, frictionally holding it in any desired position.
When the transom is closed the bar 19 fits snugly against the side'of the sash and is locked .in position by means of 'a latch 28, the hooked end 29 of which'enters an opening-or socket 29 in the frame through an opening 30 'in the plate 31 secured to the frame over the socket. The bar is held in place by pulling up the end or handle 32 of the latch, bringing the hook 29 into en gagement with the under face of the plate 81, as shown at 33.
In order to insure the smooth action of the bar and prevent it striking or binding against the sash or frame in closing the transom, I provide a pair of guiding wings or brackets 34:, 34 secured opposite each other on' the sash'a-nd frame, having their upwardly inclined flanges set at a slight into closed position.
. closed, comprising a plate 36 secured to the 'ing' in a handle 38. to swing into the slot 39 in a bracket 40 mounted on the sash and to also fit within the slot or notch 40 in the end of the bar 19. As clearly shown in Fig. 8, the bar may be sash in any suitable manner and on which is pivotally mounteda catch or latch 37 end- This latch is mounted positively locked when the transom is closed by swinging the latch 37 into locking position.
f It is, of course, evident that instead of mounting the. bracket on the sashto receive the bolt I may provide means for fitting the bolt in the side of the sash itself,- -as shown on the left in Fig. 1, and an improved form of such means is shown in detail in Fig. 11- in which asocket 41 having agperiphcral flange 42 is fitted into ahole 43 bored or sunk into the sash. The socket 41 has in I thecenter of its bottom a hole adapted to receive the end of-Tthe screw bolt 24. It will be noted that the end'24 of the bolt isextended and adapted to be screwed into the sash itself. A covering box 44 surroundsf the springand fits snugly within the inner periphery of'thesocket4l, the top 45 servng as a rest for the top of the spring and also taking the place of the inner washer 26 in the other form. In this form of device the' parts are protected from the weather and are much less liable to rust or get out oforder.
It is to be noted that'while Ihave shown different forms of device on the, same figure in the drawing, it is not intended to use such forms in .actual practice as, of course,
in using the devicesthe same style will .be
used on both sides of the sash or-fra'me,
both with respect to the friction-holding-device and also the locking device for -'securing the bar in closed position. v
Heretofore great difliculty hasbeenl experienced with opening transoms, windows and doors and keeping them open any pre}. determined distance, especially in the case r of transoms or cellar windows in which the Window is frequently opened part way and a stick inserted, restingon the frame and against the sash,'the resultbeing that the stick is frequently knocked 'out, the Window dropping against the frame, thus breaking the glass. A similar difficult is experienced with transoms or upper win ows, especially.
those used in halls and lodge rooms, requiring the use of a long polewith a hooked end, which is adapted to engage and unlock the retaining bolt, permitting the window to be pulled down. With this device out departing from the spirit of my hon.
Iclaimz v y 1. In a device of the character described,.
attached the window can be pulled down to any desired distance and held frictionally' in place, the-compression of the spring 25 being arran ed to meet existing circumstances, that IS, in the case of large windows the spring will be made heavier and longer so as to exert lateral pressure against the bars, especially if the window is to be pulled down and'outwardly. In the event that it is to be used with windows opening sidewise alighter spring could be used as less friction would'be'required to hold the window or door in place.
All of the forms shown'involve very simple construction'but they are of such a nature as to accomplish valuable results that have not heretofore been attained by any of the devices now in use.
It is, of course, clearly understood that other forms of construction or material may be used to accomplish the same result withinventhe combination with a frame, a sash, a slotted supporting bar. swingingly mounted onsaid frame, a bolt passing through the slot in said bar and engaging said sash, a spring normally under compression mounted within said sash and surrounding said bolt and bearing against the face of said bar. A y
2. In a device of thecharacter described, the combination with a frame, a sash, a slotted supporting bar swingingly mounted on said frame, frictional engagmg means a socket mounted on said sash comprisin fitting in or on said sash, a ho t passin through the slot in said bar and into sai socket, a spring normally under compression mounted insaid socket'and surroundin said bolt and adapted to bear against the inner face of said bar.
3. In a device of the character described, the combination with a frame, a sash, a slotted supporting bar swingingly mounted on said frame, frictional engaging [means mounted on said sash comprisln a socket fitting in or on said sash, a bot passing through the slot in ,said bar and into said socket, a spring normally under compression mounted in said socket and surrounding said bolt, a. cap fitting within said socket and surrounding said spring, the compression of said spring forcing said cap against the inner face of said bar. v
4. In a device of the character described, the combination with a frame, a sash, a slotted supporting bar swingingly mounted on said frame, frictional engaging means mounted on said sash comprising a socket fitting in Or on said sash, a bolt passin through the slot in said bar and into said socket and screwed into said sash, a spring normally under compression mounted in said socket and surrounding said bolt and adapted to bear against the innerface of said bar. a H v 5 In a device of the character; described, the combination with a frame, a sash, a slotted supporting bar swingingly mounted on said frame, a bolt passing through the slot in said bar and engaging said sash; a. spring I normally under eomprewon mounled within said sash and surrounding said bolt and bearing against the face of said bar, and
means mounted on said sash and adapted to engage means mounted on said frame and also to engage said bar, thereby locking said 15 sash in closed position. r
In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name in' the presence of two witnesses.
