y SHIP-WINDOW.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN Woodlynne,

State of New Jersey,

S'. WHITE, of

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ship` Windows, whereof the following is a speciication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

Ship windowscall for the employment of a number'of alternative sashes or closures. Thus, it is desirable that there shall be 'provided for such windows in addition to the clear glass sash or double sash, a heavier storm sash, a sliding blind or shutter, and an insect screen. The problem of the' stowage of somany'sashes in the limited space afforded by marine construction, is the one to which this invention is directed.V One or more of the sashes may simply be made .removable, but as a rule it is necessary to stow two or three of the sashes within thewall space. Hitherto this has been accomplished by the use of a pocket below the window aperture. The objection to this is that it provides a space capable of lreceiving water. According to my present invention I provide a space directly over the vvindowaper-V ture and employit for the stowage of two or three of the sashes employed.

It is a further object o f my invention to render allof the sashes'light enough to be handled and adjusted withoutthe employ nient of counterweights.

Further details of my invention will be referred to in thespeciflcation and claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I, is a vertical sectional view of a ship window and surrounding parts `embodying my'invention, the window being provided with a screen sash, storm sash, glass sash and shutter sash. Figs. II, and III, are detail sectional views showing the arrangement of my anti-rattler strips on either side of theV plain sash.

Referring to Fig. the window therel shown is set in a wall formed of an outer partition 2, and an inner partition 3, with provision of the space 4, between the two,-

above the window, forming a convenient pocket for the stowage of such sashes protecting the window as are not removably interposed in the aperture. The sill 5, frames the bottom of the window aperture. Run-ways for the sashes are formed at the` sides of the window aperture, byproperly .spaced parting beads in the form of the anti# Specificationy of Letters Patent.

rattler strips 6,*and 10, which are preferably l sheet brass bent to form athree-sided trough. The central side is' pierced by a series of diagonal slots `7, succeeding each other at intervals,

short enough to enable a sash to be set at any' desired height. The side rails A of the sashes which run against these metal Y parting beads' are faced with lmetal strips Sliding in y the inner partition and the strip 6,7is a sashV with fixed slats 9. Sliding in 8, provided the run-way between Vthe strips 6, andlO, is a glass'pane 12. Sliding in the run-way 'formed between the outer partition and the lstripY 10, is the storm sash 16, which is provided near thevbottom with a small heavy glass pane 13'.- Asimilar small set in the upper part of this which otherwise is solid. The

the run-way Vformed between outer partition has a small translucentbut f,

not transparent pane 15, set in it, as a point corresponding to the position of the lower small pane 13,'when the storm sash is raised. When the shutter sash, the Yplain glass sash, or the storm sash are raised, they arestowed within the space 4, above'the window be-V tween the partitions. The height of the shutter sash'is such that when the sash'is lowered,v the top will come sufficiently below thepartition wall 3, Vto leave a space .correand permitthepassage of sufficient light. Furthermore, the passage of light is not interfered with by the stormv sash in either position, for when in the lower position, its top is also below opening `15, and when raised pane 13, correspond with pane 15as shown in Fig. I.

A sash 20, provided with a wire net insect screen 21,v is removably inserted within the window aperture outside of the sashes,

pose, the window aperture is provided at the top with the overhanging strip 22, beneath which the screen sash is set. At the bottom the screen is secured by the sliding dowel pin25, the end of which enters an appropriate socket inthe sill.

The glass sash 11, has attached toits in- 28, provided with av which is withdrawn by pres ner face Va metal case latch or pin 29,

sure upon the handlesV 30. The pin 29,'is

` normally spring pressedy vso as to shoot into one of the slots in the anti-rattler strip to which its end is opposed. When entering .one of these slots, the weight of the sash which have been mentioned. For this purice the comparatively small size of the sashes l thus provided, whereby they are rendered of less weight than those which have hitherto been Vemployed for similar purposes. It is desirable that such saslies should be of small weight7 vsince if they are very heavy, itis necessary to provide balancing weights or spring tape balances which are very objectionable iii marine architecture.

Having thusdescribedmy invention, I`A

claim: v Y

l. In a ship window, the combination of the window aperture formed in a wall having inner and outer partitions; a space between said partitions -above the window aperture for stowage of the sashes, the win'- dow aperture being oi' greater height in the inner partition than the outer partition, a sash stowing away in said storage space of a height only suthcient to close the aperture in the outer partition, whereby a clear space is provided between the top of vthe aperture in the inner partition, and the top of the sash, and-a small pane inserted iiiV the outer partition in position to permit light to pass through'the above mentioned` clear space.

In a ship window, the combination of a window aperture having inner and outer partitions, a space between said partitions aperture for stowage of aperture being of greater partition, a storm sash stowing away in said Y stowage space also provided with a small pane which registers ywith the first nientioned small pane when the storm sash is in its raised position. l

3. In a shipfwindow, lthe combination `of the window aperture foi-ined in a wall having inner and outer partitions; a space between said partitions above the window aperture for stowage of thesashes, the window aperture being of greater height inthe inner partition than the outer partition; a in, said 'stowage space'oi sash stowing away a height only suiiicient to close the aperture in the outer partition, `whereby a clear space is provided between the top vot' theY l aperture in the inner partition and the top of the sash, a-s1nall pane inserted inthe outer partition in position to permit light to )ass throuUh the above mentioned clear. l :s

space, a storm sash stowing above the ywin'- dow and also provided with small panes, the lower of said panes corresponding in position to the-first mentioned sniall pane when the storm sash is in the Yraised position.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto Pennsyl-` signed my name, at Philadelphia, vania, this'iirst day of October 1914.
