WINDOW-FIXTURE.

Application filed December 17, 1907.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, DAVID EDWARD Hiro- Lrro, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and usefulWindow-Fixture, of which the following is a specification. v

An object of the invention is to provide a simple device that can be sold to the trade ready for application by a mechanic who can select or make the wooden parts for the window, and which device can, by such mechanic, be applied to such wooden parts, and which device, when so applied will afford strong and reliable frictional means to hold the window sash in place, will allow the same to tilt when required, and will yieldingly hold it from tilting, except upon application of requisite force.

The invention comprises a pair of rubplates of light, strong and novel construction pivotally connected together and adapted to hold between them a tongue or weather strip that may be so constructed and applied as to close the joint between two faces that are pivotally connected together.

The invention comprises a new article of manufacture and the combination and parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Various objects and advantages may appear from the subjoined detailed description.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure 1 is a fragmental view partly sectioned illustrating the fixture as applied in practical use. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the article of manufacturel to be sold to the trade, comprising the fixture plates and connection, arranged as the same will be delivered to the trade, and omitting the springs. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the device shown in Fig. 2 with springs in place. Fig. 4 is an end view ofthe same with springs in section. Fig. 5 is a cross section of the fixture as applied in a window, :c5-m5, Fig. 1, indicates the line of section. Figs. 6 and 7 are face views of the respective rub plates detached. Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmental detail showing clearly the connection between the bolt and channeled rub-plate.

The rub-plate 1 is pressed from sheet Specification of Letters Patent.

attaching plates rub together. A bolt 3 inserted through a central opening in the rub-plate 2 and screw-seated in a central opening 6 in the rub-plate 1 and held adjustably in place by a jam-nut 7. The leafspring 8 is placed in the channel 4 upon the bolt 3, and a similar leaf-spring 9 is placed upon the bolt 3 outside of the rub-plate 2.

The fixture comprises the parts above enumerated as adapted to be manufactured and placed on the market for the purpose of providing a reversible window with a weatherproof joint; a pair of said fixtures being applied to each reversible sash.

l0 designates a sash.

11 designates a stile of the sash, the same being deeply channeled, as shown at 12, to receive the deeply channeled rub-plate 1.

13 isa slightly grooved member in the form of a strip to provide a runner or shoe for the sash. The grooved rub-plate 2 is seated in said slightly grooved member'. The channels of the stile and the groove of the strip correspond in depth to the channel of the rub-plate 1 and the groove of the rnbplate respectively secured thereto.

14 is a tongue or weather strip yieldingly mounted in the channel 4 and adapted to be spring-pressed by means of the spring 8 and, where required by auxiliary springs 8f into the shallow groove 5.

The spring 9 on the sash runner or shoe strip, is applied between the bolt head 15, and the outside strip or runner, 13, so that the strip is yieldingly forced toward the stile at the same time that the tongue or weather strip is yieldingly forcedtoward the strip. By this means a constant pressure is applied to hold the rub-plates togather, and also to hold the tongue or weather strip 14 and strip 13 together.

Thetongue has a rounded engaging face 16 to pass vout of the shallow groove 5 without jamming whenever the sash is turned relatively to the strip or shoe 13.

The rub-plates are each provided with perforated attaching plates 17, having per- VforationslS, to receive screws 2O for fastening the rub-plates to the respective members as 11 and 13 which the fixture is intended to secure together. ,In the form shown in the drawings thencentral perforation 6 of the channeled rub-plate is provided with screw threads 21, and the degree of friction between the rub-plates may be varied by loosening' and` tightening the bolt 3, and then theadjustmentmay be maintained by setting' the j am-nut 7.

In practicaluse `the reversible window is held against free pivotal movement by the friction, of the rub-plates which may be adjusted as above detailed to any desired degre'efof frictional resistance, and in additionto such resistance the resistance of the spring pressed tongue or AWeather strip helps to hold the window sash firmly in place in the window, frame 22 which is grooved in thejusual way,to receive the members 13 and allow the same to slide up and down.

The plates are of practically the same areaafter being bent up and are of greater length than width and the perforations 1S bywhich they are to be fastened to the members that are to be united are spaced apart a greater distance than the width of the plates, so thaty when the plates are turnedcrosswise upon each other access to the perforations is afforded on each side of the plates. The space between the perforationsv 18V at the op'positevends is somewhat greater than the thickness of the members to be united, so thatwhen the plates haver beenl `pivvoted togetherthey can be turned crosswise Ato each other and then applied respectively to the members to be united and' screws inserted through the perforations and into Vsuch members. v The rub-'plates are channeled for a twofold purpose, the channel construction serving .to permitthe use of very light material which can bereadily stamped into the form yand cankbe soldat a minimum price; and in .thesecond place, the lchannels serve the purpose of accommodating the weather strip to make a tight joint. j Itis not necessary, however, inV every instance that a wea'therstripy shall be used, the main featurev ofthe ,invention being the novel form of `the?.rino-plates whereby their lightness, cheapness andstrength are secured.

making the rub-plates of the channeledv yform and providing them with attachingplates extending outwardly from thechannelsand adapted to rub against eachother greatstrength and a degree of resiliency is secured with comparatively light material and the rub-plates are adapted for use with or without the weather strip. Appropriate friction can be provided for by adjusting the nut 7 before the plate 1 is screwed to the sash. engaging the bottom of the channeled plate meets with a measurably resilient resistance as will be understood by reference to Fig. l so as to maintain a satisfactory frictional contact in spite of the wear and without frequent adjustments.

Important features of the foregoing construction that should be particularly noted as being of great advantage are the channels in the rub-plates, one of said channels being curved, a weather strip designed to seat-in said curved channel and substantially fitting from side to side of the other channel so that it will work smoothly in said channel, a bolt adjustably pivoting the two rub-plates together, and a leaf spring mounted on the bolt between the bottom of4 said other channel and the weather strip and designed to press at its ends against the weather strip, the value of this construction being that the weather strip is thus pressed by the leaf spring at two widely separated points, one on each side of the bolt, so that when the weather strip swings around the axis of the bolt, the weather strip will not tend to cant out of true parallelism with the grooved member 13.

Vhat I claim is 1. A window fixture comprising means forming a channel adapted to receive a weather strip and a spring, attaching plates extending outwardly from the sides of the channel, a rub-plate having a longitudinal groove in opposition to the channel and having attaching plates at the sides of the groove in opposition to the first attaching plates, a bolt connecting the two rub-plates together, a spring upon the bolt outside of the grooved rub-plate, and a spring upon the bolt in the channel.

2. In a window, means forming achannel adapted to receive a weather strip and a spring, attaching plates extending outwardly from the sides of the channel and forming a rub-plate; a second rub-plate having a longitudinal groove in opposition to the channel and having attaching plates at the sides of the groove in opposition to the irst attaching plates, a bolt inserted through the centers of the rub-plates, a runner upon the outer end of the bolt against. the second rubp1ate,`a weather strip upon the bolt in the channel against the inner face of the second rub-plate, a spring upon the bolt in the channel against the weather strip, and a second spring upon the bolt against the outer face of the runner.

3. A fixture for pivotally connecting two members together, said fixtures consisting The nut j of tWo rub-plates, one of which is formed with a deep channel having straight parallel side-Walls to form a guide for a Weather strip and the other of which plates is arched across the channel and adapted to seat a rounded side of the Weather strip; both of said rub-plates being provided With corresponding flanges the flanges of one plate engaging those of the other plates; said flanges beingr perforated to receive fasteners for fastening the rub-plates to separate members; the arch and the foor of the channel being perforated to receive a bolt; and a bolt in pivotal relation to the arch and in fixed relation to the channel floor. 15.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles, Cal., this 5th day of December, 1907.
