GLAZING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

Application filed January 5, 1914. Serial No. 810,310.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN RAsMUssEN, a subject of the King of Denmark, but having filed my intention to become a citizen of the United States, and resident of Racine, in the county of Racine and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glazing; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention consists in what is herein particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims of this specification, its object with being partly broken away; Fig. 2,-a'

partly cross-section perspective view of a fragment of a sash rail or stile and a pri marily flat strip of soft-met'al engaging a kerf in the same; Fig. 3, a similar view showing said strip indented in the stile or rail, and Fig. 4, a partly cross-section per spective view illustrating one of my improved glazing-joints, the section being indicated by line 4-1 in Fig. 1.

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 5 indicates the lower rail, and 6 a stile of a sash in which a pane 7 of glass is secured by means in accordance with my invention.

At the intersection of the faces of its rabbet, each rail and stile of thesash is provided with a longitudinal groove at a rightangle to the plane of the glass with which said sash is glazed, and engaging the groove is a primarily fiat strip 8 of soft metal parallel to the weather face of said rabbet beyond which it extends previous to the placing of said glass and the completion ofthe glazing-joint. The soft-metal strip is preferably fastened to the adjacent rail or stile of the sash by indenting the same therein at intervals of its length, as shown at 9. When the glass is placed in the sash, its edges 01)- pose the several soft metal strips, and a waterproof core 10 of contractile and'expansile material is laid along the outer intersection of each of said strips and glass, after which the then outwardly extending portion of each of the aforesaid strips is crimped inward, by a suitable tool, to form a compression-housing for the adjacent core and to extend parallel to said glass. The waterproof core under compression has yield and expansion coincidental to expansion and contraction of the glass, and thus an automatic compensating weathertight joint results between said glass and each rail or stile of the sash. Waterproofed cord is one of the various materials suitable for the cores, and putty may be economically employed in the making of said cores. The crimped soft metal strips may be bent outward to obtain the necessary clearance for removal of broken glass, and recrimped on cores, as aforesaid, laid in against a substitute pane.

I claim:

1. The combination of a sash having each rail and stile thereof provided with a 1ongitudinal groove at the intersection of the faces of its rabbet, strips of soft metal extending into the grooves on planes parallel to the weather faces of the sash-rabbets, a pane of glass abutting the metal strips at right-angles thereto against the other faces of said rabbets, and cores of contractile and expansile material opposing said strips and glass at the intersections of the same within compression housings that result from a crimping of the aforesaid strips over said cores and against the glass parallel thereto.

2. The combination of a sash having each rail and stile thereof provided with a longitudinal groove at the intersection of the faces of its rabbet, strips of soft metal extending into the grooves on planes parallel to the weather faces of the sash-rabbets into which they are indented, a pane of glass abutting the metal strips at right-angles thereto against the other faces of said rabbets, and cores of contractile and expansile have hereunto set my hand at Racine in the material opposing said strips and glass at county of Racine and State of Wisconsin in the intersections of the same Within compresthe presence of two Witnesses. sion housings that result from a' crimping of V MARTIN 'RASMUSSEN. 5 the aforesaid strips over said cores and Witnesses:

against the glass parallel thereto. 7 7 v A. R. JANECKY, In testimony that I claim theforegoing I v L. A. LAUER.
