Application filed April 10, 1919. Serial No. 288,977.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN A. Cnozinn, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Knoxville, in the county of Marion and State of iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to window brackets or seats and'has for its object the provision of novel means whereby a seat or bracket may be applied to a window casing and held against movement, the said invention including novel means for supporting arms ofthe bracket at` a point outside of the window frame, preferably by having the supporting members rest on the stone sills outside of a window rather than on the wooden window sills. These supports which are made adjustable, can be moved with respect to the arms so that the supports will be brought at proper position with relation to the wooden and stone sills.

A. further object of this invention is to provide a bracket of the character indicated which can be readily applied to or removed from a window.

The bracket is of utility for use by window washers, painters or as a portable sleeping porch.

A still further object of this invention is to provide a cage or seat which constitutes a part of the bracket and will serve as a guard for the occupant of the bracket to prevent his dislodgment therefrom.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction, and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 illustrates a view in elevation of the bracket applied to a window, the window sill being shown in section;

Fig. 2 illustrates an underneath plan view;

Fig. 3 illustrates a transverse sectional view of the bracket.

Fig. 4C illustrates a sectional view of one ofthe arms showing a lug in elevation.

in these drawings, l have shown a frame comprising two side arnis and 6 integral with a connecting section 7, the ends of the side arms. being curved back to .overlie portions of the arms and terminate in eyes or loops 8 and 9 respectively, the said eyes being intended for the reception of a stay or retaining bar 10 which extends across the opening in the window and engages the inner surfaces of the window frame. j

,Lugs .11 each have a split end 12 with a recess 13 at the inner portion of the split, the said recess constituting` a seat for an arm and the lug proper constituting afoot or support for the said arm,the saidlug being adapted to rest on a stone sill with the side of the lug preferably in engagement with the wooden sill so as to constitute a brace which will prevent sagging of the outer ends of the arms and serve to prevent play or movement of the bracket. rl.`he end of each lug has a transversely disposed aperture 14C extending through the split portion and adapted to receive a bolt 15 by which the sides of the split portion of the lng are drawn together to increase the frictional contact between the lug and the arm and by this arrangement the lug may be held at different positions of adjustment by the arm. The cage or seat in the present embodiment of the invention comprises two layers 16 and 17 of suitable material, preferably wood, having bolts 18 run therethrough and the said bolts also extend through strap irons 1S to strengthen the structure and to form an anchorage whereby the seat is connected to the arms, it being shown in the drawings that the said strap irons terminate in hooks or loops 19 which embrace the arms, as fully shown in Fig. 3.

A. cage is secured on the seat and the said cage comprises a frame 2O formed of metal, the said frame having feet or angularly eX- tending ends 21 attached to the seat by fastenings 22 such as screws, or the like.

From an inspection of the drawing and from the foregoing description, it will be apparent that when the arms are placed in Vthe position shown in Fig. 1 and the bar 10 is applied to the eyes and the feet or lugs are clamped on the arms in position to bear against the edge of the wooden sill, and the ends of the lugs engage the stone sill, the bracket will be quite rigidly temporarly held or secured in place and that it can be removed at will.

In the Jrorm of invention shown in the drawing, the eyes 8 and 9 are formed integral with shanks 23 which fit in the arms, which arms are hollow and are preferably lformed from metal pipe.

*ed` to engage a. window frame, seat, straps thereon having hooked ends to embrace the bars, means for securing the straps to the seat, and a cage carried by the seat.

2. In a window bracket, arms having ends overlying the arms proper and terminating in eyes, la bar inserted in the eyes and adapted to engage a window frame, a seat, straps Y thereon having hooked vends to embrace the bars, means for securing the straps to the seat, a cage carried by the seat comprising a frame having angular ends secured to the seat, and a netting applied to the frame.

3. In a window bracket, arms having ends overlying the arms proper and terminating in eyes, a bar inserted in the eyes and adapted to engage a window frame, a seat, straps thereon having hooked ends to embrace the bars, means for securing the 'straps to the seat, a Cagel carried by the seat, lugs adjustably attached to the arms and adapted to rest on a sill for supporting the arms.

il. In a window bracket, arms having ends overlying the arms proper and terminating in eyes, a bar inserted in the eyes and adapt ed to engage a window frame, a seat, straps thereon having hooked ends to embrace the 'ba-rs, means "for securing the straps to the seat, a cage carried by the seat, lugs adapted to rest on a sill for supporting the arms, said lugs having split ends terminating in a recess to receive the arms, and bolts forA drawing the split sections of the ends together for rictionally engaging-the arms.
