UNITED STA ES ATE ERNEST L. TEICH, OF NEW BEI TAi ooNNEoTIoU'r, ASSIGNOR. TO THE AMERICAN HARDWARE CORPORATION, OF NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECTICUT.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST L. TEIGH, a citizen of the United. States,residing at New Britain, county of Hartford, State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Casement-Window Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in casement window holders and has for its object to provide a holder which can be ap plied to either outwardly swinging sashes or inwardly swinging sashes. It further has for its object to provide a friction casement window holder in which the friction is released when the sash is reaching its closed position so that the sash shall move freely at that time and the holder shall not act to restrain the portion to which it is attached when-other portions of the sash have reached fully closed position.

The following is a description of an embodiment of my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 shows my improved holder applied to a window having an inwardly swinging sash;

Fig. 2 shows the holder applied to an outwardly swinging sash window;

Fig. 3 shows the outwardly swinging sash partially open;

Fig. 4 shows the holder detached from the window; and,

Fig. 5 shows a detail of the holder.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 is a tubular casing within which slides -a rod 2. The casing is pivotally connected at 3 to a sash plate 4. The rod is pivotally connected to a sill plate 5 through a universal connection consisting of a link 6 pivoted to the rod at 7 and to the sill plate at 8, the axes of these pivotal connections 7 and 8 being at right angles to one another. 9 is a split friction bushing carried by a cap 10 screwed on to the casing 1, the opposing surfaces of the bushing and mouth of the tubular casing being tapered so that as the cap is screwed further on to the casing, the friction of the bushing upon the rod 2 is increased. The inner end of the rod 2 carries a centering enlargement 11. The rod 2 for about two inches at its outer Specification of Letters Patent.

end is slightly tapered as at 12 so that when that portion reaches the bushing 9 the friction of the bushing upon the rod is removed so that the rod moves freely into the easing. 7 7 In applying the holder to an inwardly opening window, the sill plate 5 is connected to the sill so that the axisv of its pivot 8 is parallel to the axis of the hinges of the sash, the casing l'lying'adjacentto thesill and lower than the bottom of the sash, and the sash plate 4 being secured to the sash in a corresponding position. The sash is then free to be opened inwardly, the rod 2 turning about the pivotal connection 8.

When the holder is applied to an outwardly opening window, the holder is placed above the sill and parallel thereto, the sill plate 5 being so mounted upon the sill that the axis of the pivotal connection 8 is at right angles to the axis fthe window hinge and the axis of the pivotal connection 7 is parallel to the axis of the sash hinge, with the result that the sash can be swung outwardly, the rod 2 turning about the pivotal connection 7. The rod 2 is rotatable relatively to the casing 1 so as to permit such mounting.

When the holder is attached to a window of either of the above described types and the sash is approaching its closed position, the friction of the bushing will cease when the friction bushing reaches the tapered portion 12 of the rod 2 so that the sash is in all parts unrestrained when it is about to reach its closing position, thus preventing the holder from tending to hold any part of the sash open when it is desired to have it entirely closed.

As will be evident to those skilled in the art, my invention permits of various modifications without departing from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. In a casement window holder, the combination of a rod and a casing constituting co-acting members relatively rotatable and adapted to slide longitudinally one upon the other, said casing having friction means engaging said rod, a sash plate and a sill plate each connected to one of said co-acting members, and a universal connection between one of said plates and the member to which it is connected, adapting the holder to be applied to either inwardly or outwardly opening casement Windows.

2. In a casement Window holder, the oombination of a rod, a casing therefor r0tatable relatively to said rod and adapted to slide longitudinally thereon, said casing having a friction bushing engaging said rod, a sill plate and a sash plate connected to said members, the connection between said sill plate and its member being a universal connection, adapting the holded to be applied to either inwardly or outwardly opening casement WlIlClOWS.

I 3. In a casement 'Windovv holder, the combination' of a rod, a casing therefor rotatable relatively to said rod and adapted to slide longitudinally thereon, said casing having a friction bushing engaging said rod, a sash plate connected to 'said casing, a link pivotally connectedto said rod and a sill plate 'pivotally connected to said link, the

greater part of its length and slightly re du'fced in" diameter 'adjacentto its outer end.
