To all whom e' may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY H. Sonnorsn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cool;

and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window- Sashes; and I do hereby declare that the following is aull, clear, and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specificationn Window sashesas heretofore constructed have usually been provided with removable cad members whereby1 the lighto glass carried by the sash can loe-removed or inserted in the sash and retained in position by the beads. The addition of removable heads to a Window sash has not only detiacted from `its appearance, but in instances where nieta llic sashes havebeen used for passenger the rerhovable beads.l which of necessitv nina-t also he of metal, have not been enti sin oessful in operati-on. '.lhe associacmn of metallic bead witha metallic sash for o purpose of retaining the light ot glass ai piace has involved a number of complicated parts, making the construction expensive and otherwise impractical.

This invention relates to a metallic .sash construction wherein the top, bottom and side'rails of the sash are detachable from one another, and are each provided with retaining beads permanently associated therewith for the light of glass whereby the glass may bfi-.inserted or rniovcd from thc sash by removal of one of the rail or stile members.

It is an object oi' this invention to construct a metallic sash embracing.,r tubular dctachablc side, top und bottoni rails, each hav ing moans associated therewith to receive i light of glass therein, whenvthc device is assembled.

Itis also an object of this invention to provide a metallic sash constructed of tubular detachable members and with means scoured within said meiiihcis for attaching; the inembcrs together in assembled relation.

It is also an object of 'this invention to con.w 5o-struct a metallic sash of tubular top, bottoni und side rails, and with illcr blocks con- (aim-d within said rails and riveted thereto, said rails having integral heads formed thereon adapted to register with one another so when the rails are assembled to intein Specification. of Letters Patent.

light of glass, and with incans adjustably coninectiingr said rail members to one anothei` by said hloclis, insuring a proper association ol' the parts.

lt is furthermore an obiectof this invention to construct a window sash having integral heads thereon to receive a light oi' glass therebetween, and with one of said rails formed to receive a catheostripping element therein.

itis finally an object of this invention to construct a metallic window sash easily asseinhied, and of substantial, construction, and consisting of few parts.

The invention l(in'a preferred form) is illustrated in. the drawings and hereinafter more fully described in the drawings:

Figure l is a fragmentary front :tace view of a portion of the trainingn for a car window principles of my invern .1: is an in tcrior fragmentary face view )er corner of a window sash showin ing elements in dotted lines.

il is similar view of a lower cornet` o window sash.

i is a section taken on line 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of G is a view similar to Fig. 2, but with iris shown in sectiona r i 7 is a section fallen on liuc 7 7 ot 3 with parts in elevation.

iis shown in the drawings:

il portion of a caris indicated by the reference numeral l, and mounted in thc 'erindow apertures therein are sushcs containing the lights of glass 2. side rails of the sashes arc out at their ands at an angle oi 45 degreesr and substantially rectangular in section. Each rail consists a unitary sheet of metal lient to afford the inner and outer straifrht walls 3 speci ivcly, and an end wall 5, and that portion. of the metal joining the inner and outer face walls 3 and fl, is shaped to ailord the inner and outer heads il and "l, respectively, therebetween. The 1afroove s to receive the iight of glass k3, therein, and, if desired, any sfiita. Ile packing may he inserted between the giace and the l l to in the costilla; ci' the casi n seal,

@je ses' '.lhe iop, hottom and l and l, i'c- The construction of the bottom rait is slightly different in that in place of thc end wall 5, the metal is stamped to afford a dove tailed groove or recess, as indicated by the reference numeral 8, and clearly shown in Fig. 5. The purpose of said groove 8, is to permit a packing member 9, to beinserted therein and to Seal between the sash andthe sill of the Window frame when the sash is in Closed position.

The means for attaching and maintaining the rails of the window sash in assembled relation comprise filler blocks l0, which are secured within and near each end of the top and bottom ra'ils by means of rivets 11. Said filler blocks are further provided with an internally threaded aperture for a purpose hereinafter pointed out.

The side rails of the window sash are provided with filler blocks 12, riveted therein by suitable rivets 13, but in this case the -filler blocks extend outwardly through the angled ends of the rail and are furthermore provided with a projecting portion 14, which is adapted to engage within the tubular Atop andbottom rails respectively when the same are assembled with the side rails. An aperture extends through each of said liller blocks 12, and inserted rotatably through each thereof, is a long machine screw 15, the# threaded end of which engages in the threaded aperture in the filler block 10, thus permitting said blocks to be drawn up toward one another and insuring close association of the respective rails of the sash.

From the construction disclosed it is readily seen. that the rivets for the filler blocks, as well as the adjusting screws, which are countersunk into the respective rails flush with the surface of the outer walls tl'ieretet,

` form no projections whichv might interfere with the operation of the sash.

The4 operation is thought to be obvious from the description. However, when it is necessary to insert or remove a light oi' glass from the sash it is only necessary to remove one of the rail members and the glass Can then be readily slipped along the grooves between the beads 6 and 7;

.I am' aware that various details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departingfrom the spirit or' this invention, and I therefore do not pur pose limiting the patent granted otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my inventi n:

1. 1n a window sash hollow side, top and bottom members mitered at their ends to form a tight joint, ller blocks rigidly se y, cured in the ends of each hollow member,

i,ese,eea

the blocks in two of the members having a threaded aperture and the blocks in the other two members having passages there-A through and Screws extending through the passages in said blocks and engaging in the screw apertures to tightly drawfthe mem* bers together in assembledrelation. n

2. ln a window sash hollow top, side and bottom members formed to provide oppositely disposed beads to retaina glass therebetween, independent filler blocks in the ends of all ot' the members and means extending through the tiller blocks in part of 'the members and engaging the filler blocks in the other members to tightly draw the sash members together. l

3. ln a window sash structure of the class described, tubular side rails,l tubular top and bottom members, filler blocks mounted within said top and bottom members, filler blocks mounted within the ends-of said respective side rails projecting therefrom and adapted to interitwith said top and bo'ttom members and means engaged through the filler bloclrs of said side rails and .having threaded engagement with the filler blocks in said top and bottom .members to draw the same tightly to one another in rigid assembled relation.

il. ln a window sash structure of the class described, side rails, and top and bottom rails with the ends of each thereof oblique,

filler blocks mounted. on the interior at each beyond the ends thereof, and means rotatably engaged through the filler blocks of the side rails and' adapted for engagement with the liller bloclrs mounted within vsaid top and bottom rails to draw said respective rail members tightly to one another in assembled relation. y

5. ln a. window sash construction of the clairs described hollow top and bottom rails,

at each end of each thereof, and means adjustably mounted in. said filler blocks of said side rails adapted to adjustably engage said iillfer blocks of said top and bottom rails to draw said respective rails tightly into assembled relation.

.ln testimony wher/eet1 l have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
