HANGER FOR SCREEN AND STORM SASHES.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7 Patentedlscept. 25, 1%)15.

Application filed July 19, 1915. Serial No. 40,691.

are used to attach what are known in the art as full frame screens andfull frame storm sashes to an ordinary window frame, in such manner as to permit them to be swung outward for the purpose of cleaning the glass in the window frame, while at the same time said frames are held closely to the window 7 frame when closed to place.

T he objects of this invention are, tolobtain a hanger of the kind named which can be installed by a person on the inside of the window frame; which will-hold the'upper end of the screen or storm sash closely to the window frame when said sashes are closed; which will permit the same to be swung outward at the lower end thereof, when desired; and which will hold said sash at the upper end thereof in such manner that it cannot be accidentally separated from said window frame; while at the same time a separation of said parts can be easily effected when desired.

I have illustrated a hanger embodying my invention properly installed on a window frame, with so much of said frame as is required to properly illustrate said installation, in the drawing accompanying and for-min g a part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of the upper end of a window frame and sash (having a screen therein) attached to said window frame by a device embodying this invention; the top part of the window sash and glass therein being broken away to exposethe device and screen to view. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 22 of Fig. 1, viewed'in the direction indicatedby the arrows. a like section on said line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and viewed in the same direction, with the screen sash which is attached to the window sash by the device embodying this invention swung outward on said device. And Fig. 4 is a vertical section, (on anenlarged scale) of the top rail of a window frame, the top rail of a screen sash, and of a device em bodying this invention joiningsaid rails to- Fig. 8 is gether, with said screen sash closed, as in Figs. 1 and 2.

A reference letter applied to designate a given .part indicates said part wherever the same appears.

A is a window frame, a being the outside head bead thereof. a is the outside bead; a the parting bead, and a the inside bead of the frame a. B is the top rail of the upper sash in frame A, and b the glass in said sash. D is a screensash, (Z being the top rail thereof and (Z one of the stiles thereof. C is netting in sash D, forming the screen.

E is a base plate, forming an element in adevice embodying this invention, and F is a depending finger, extending downward and outward from base plate E, as is well illustrated in Fig. 4. I make said depending finger integral with said base plate. G is the lower end of depending finger F and H is a pin which is inserted in the said lower end G. Where base plate E and depending finger F are made of sheet metal, as is illustrated in the drawing, I turn or roll said lower end G to obtain the aperture in which pin H is inserted. To permit the ready insertion of the pin, and its removal. when. desired, while obviating all liability of said pin to become accidentally separated from said finger I use an ordinary cotter pin.

I is a base plate located on the sash, and J is a table on base plate I. K is an aperture in table J.

L, L, are ordinary wood screws, by means of which the base plate E is attached to the bead a, and base plate I is attached to the rail rZ.

WVhen sash D is closed to beads a, (H, as is illustrated in Figs. 2, and 4:, the table J is near to base plate E, and end k of aperture K is in contact with the finger F, thereby drawing said sash closely to said beads. 1

and finger On removing'pin H from end G of said finger F separation of base plate I and table J from base plate E and depending fingerF is easily efiiected. f

To install the device the base plate I may first be secured to sash D; finger F inserted in aperture K, and said sash put in place against the indow frame. Thereupon the base plate/E can be secured to top bead a, by means of screws L, so as to hold said sash D closely to the beads a, a erred the base plate E may first be secured to bead a; sash Dput in place against the window. frame, marks be made for the placing of base plate I on said sash, and said base plate I then secured to'said sash.

I claim: 7 I
