PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD 0. SHORT, 0F S'I IA'UL, MINNESOTA.
STORM-WINDOW OPENER AND CLOSER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 1, 1921.
Application filed January 10, 1921. Serial No. 436,139.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD G. SHORT, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Storm-"Window Opener and Closer, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to devices for opening, closing and locking storm windows and other outer windows, and the object is to provide a simple, reliable and easily operated device of said kind, which will automatically open and close an outer window simultaneously with the raising and lowering of the adjacent inner window.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a vertical section of an ordinary type window, its casing and outer or so-called storm window provided with my device.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of my device and portions of a window and storm window to which it is attached.
Fig. 3 is a face view or vertical elevation of the slotted member of my device.
Fig. 4: is a section approximately as on line 44E in Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a vertical section on line 55 of Fig. 3 and a sliding member added, showin the latter in position to be withdrawn.
*ig. 6 is a face view of the window showing on a reduced scale that two of my devices are applied to said window.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals 6 is a window casing, 7 the upper sash and 8 the lower sash of a two-part vertically slidable window of ordinary construction, and 9 is a storm window hinged at 10 and adapted to be closed and held closed by a hook 11.
Pivoted to brackets 12, which are secured one upon each side bar of the storm sash 9, are the upper ends of two metal braces 13, the lower ends of which are pivoted at 1a, each one to a T-shaped bracket 15. The arms 16 of the T are broadened into lateral wings adapted to slide up and down in opposite lateral grooves 17 formed in a guide 18 having a slot 19 for the leg of the bracket T to slide in. The slot has near its top end an enlargement 20 for the wings 16 to slip through when o desired, and to facilitate such insertion and removal the wings are curved somewhat at 21. The guides 18 are secured by screws or nails 22 one to each side rail of the lower sash 8. Only for very small window will one brace at one rail of thle storm sash serve to hold the sash proper y.
My device is preferably attached in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 6, with the guide 18 on each side of the lower inside sash 8 and the opening 20 in each guide being at the upper end. A bracket 12 is then secured to each side member of storm sash 9 at such height above guide 18 that the T- shaped bracket will be in upper end of groove 17 (as shown in Figs. 1 and 8) when the inner sash is down and storm sash hooked at the bottom.
The device is operated in the following manner:
The storm window being closed and hooked, the operator first raises sash 8 to position 8 (Fig. 1) which movement does not affect storm sash because guide 18 merely moves upward until the T-shaped bracket 15 occupies lower end of space 17 in the guide 18. The raised position 8 of lower sash thus gives the operator acces to hook 11 to release the same. By then continuing to raise the sash 8 the braces 13, through brackets 12, push the storm window 9 outward more or less according to height that inner sash is raised and how much opening of windows is desired.
The closing operation is merely the reverse of the opening operation, sash 8 being pushed down approximately to position 8*, storm sash is then pulled in and hooked at its lower end, the latter action being easily accomplished because brackets 15 merely slide downward in the slots 17 and then the inner sash is pushed down.
What I claim is:
1. A storm-window operating device comprising an inclined actuating rod pivotally connected with the storm sash and the adjacent inner window sash, one end of said rod having a limited sliding motion, said slidable end carrying a pivoted T-shaped member with its leg pivoted to one end of the bar, a guide member having a slot for the leg of the T-shaped member and a groove adjacent the slot for the arms of the T shaped member to slide in.
2. The structure specified in claim 1, said slot in the guide member having an enlargement to permit the removal of the T- shaped member.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
EDWARD G. SHORT.
