SASH-CORD CONNECTOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 30, 1919.
Application filed September 16, 1919. Serial No. 324,119.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE Isnn. a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sash Cord Connectors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to sash weight cord connectors.
Some of the objects of the invention are to provide a device with which to meet existing demands for a practical device of this character, to this end, this invention in use, permits the sash Weight to be connected to one end of the sash weight cord and the attachment of the cord to the window sash without the necessity of removing the sash from its frame; to permit the making of the necessary connections between the cord and either the sash Weights or to the window sash without breaking or damaging the woodwork such as the weather strips, and beads between the sash runways and other parts of the window frame.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the facile manner in which desired connections between cord, weight, and window sash may be effected.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation, a part of the window sash being broken away and the connector device being shown in elevation.
Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the slide element.
Referring to the drawing, it will be noted that the side rail of the window sash 10, is recessed as at 11. The recess being rather elongated and has fixedly arranged therein a channel element 12. Screws or the like 13, securely hold the element 12 in place in the recess. The channel element mentioned acts in the nature of a guideway for a slide ele ment 14. The two elements mentioned are adapted to interlock when the slide element is at the limit of its inward movement and such result is accomplished in a manner presently described. The element 12 is provided with an aperture 15 near the upper end thereof and in order that a spring latch 16 carried at the upper end of the slide element may be received in the aperture, the sash rail is recessed. as at .17- n t e present instance, the latch'lo is formed from a slngle piece of material, having a vertically disposed manipulating portion 16*, a horizontal portion 16", which extends through an opening 14: in the slide element, an oblique portion 16 and a second vertical portion 16 The juncture between the oblique portion 16 and the vertical portion 16 extends through an opening 14 in the slide element. By so forming the latch and its particular connection with the slide element, a pivotal action is had. A flat spring 18 is attached at one end as at 19 to the slide element and the free end thereof engages the vertical portion 16 of the latch giving a, spring controlled latch. 'The lower end of the slide element 14 is provided with a lug 20 to which one end of the sash weight cord is attached.
In making the cord connection to the window sash, the slide element is withdrawn from its locking engagement with the channel element 12. This isaocomplished by moving the latch outwardly out of engagement with the shoulder formed by one wall of the aperture 15 and the contiguous wall of the recess 17 in the side rail after which the slide element may be completely withdrawn or removed fromthe window sash. The proper connection of the cord to the slide element is then made and said slide element may then be moved into interlocking engagement with the channel element 12. It will be understood that this may be accomplished without removing the window sash from its frame in a convenient and easy manner.
Connection between the cord and the sash weight may be easily efiected as well as the connection between the cord and the window sash, that is to say, without the necessity of removing the window sash from its frame as will be understood, giving a desired advantage. It is suggested that in new window structures it be only necessary to provide access to the sash weight pocketby parting the runway strip near the bottom thereof to provide a sufiiciently large open ing, temporarily closed, to give access to the weight when it is desired to make connection between the weight and the cord, thus obviating breaking or damaging of the window frame structure.
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, the
right is reserved to make necessary changes and modifications Within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
What is claimed as new is 1. A sash weight cord connector comprising, a channel element adapted to be fixedly secured to a window sash, said element having an aperture therein, a slide element adapted to be arranged in the channel element, a spring pressed latch having a manipulating portion carried by said slide element and engageable in said aperture, said manipulating portion of the latch extending beyond one end of said slide element, and an apertured lug on said slide element to which the sash cord is connectible.
2. The combination with a window sash having an elongated recess in the side rail thereof, of a sash weight cord connector comprising a channel element having an aperture therein, fixedly arranged in said recess, a slide element provided with a spring pressed latch adapted for engagement in said aperture when the slide element is slid to the limit of its inward movement in the channel element for locking engagement with said element, and a lug on said slide element to which the sash cord is connected.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
GEORGE ISER.
