REVERSIBLE WINDOW CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Jan, 31., 1922,
Application filed November 2, 1920. Serial No. 421,248. g
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VILLIAM B. Noon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grafton, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reversible lVindow Constructions, of which the follow ing is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and improved window construction, and more particularly to a reversible window construction.
Among the objects of the present invention are, to. provide a simple and efficient reversible window construction in which a number of the parts heretofore employed in such constructions are eliminated; a construction provided with weather strips for tightly sealing the window when closed; and new and improved means for rigidly maintaining the weather strips in the desired positions either when the window is closed or open.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate an application of my invention,
Fig. 1 is a part front elevational and a part sectional view of a portion of a reversible window construction embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line IIII of Fig. 1; i
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail view particularly showing the locking mechanism; and
Fig. 4 is a detail View showing the locking mechanism in plan. 1
Referring to the drawings, 2-2 designate the window stiles constructed of wood, metal. or any suitable material, and 3 a reversible window sash located between and movable with respect to the stiles 22. As illustrated and as preferred, each window sash of the window construction is pivotally secured by a pivot member 4: to a shoe or member 5, the latter being in turn attached to a pulley chain or rope 6; Each stile is provided with a vertically extending groove or slot 7 adapted to slidably receive a shoe 5 and the chain or rope 6, and in addition to the grooves 7 the stiles are provided with slots 8.
Characteristic and important features of the present invention include the combined weather strips and guide members and the means for rigidly maintaining the said strlps and guides in the desired positions relatively to the stiles and the movable window sashes of the construction. As rillustratcd, said means include two similar movable members 9, one member 9 being disposed in a slot a running along a vertically extending side of the sash, and the other member in a similar slot a on the opposite side of the sash; lock- 111g members 10, one secured to an upper end of one of the members 9 and the other locking member to the other member 9; and two plate members 11 countersunk in the upper sash member 6 at opposite ends thereof.
Each of the locking members .10, as shown, has its inner end secured to a member 9 at 12, and its free end provided with-a down wardly projecting pin or lug 13, the latter being designed to be entered in one or the other of the openings or depressions 'ltof one of the plates 11.
The weather strip members 9 are each provided with oblique slots 15-15 and carried by the side members of the sash are pins 16, said pins 16 being disposed in the respective slots 15.
From the above, it should be understood that when the sash 3 is in its normal closed position, the strips or members 9 are in a lowered position and project from the sides of the sash into the grooves or slots 8 of the stiles or casing. While the said members 9 are in the positions just mentioned, the looking members 10 are positioned to maintain members 9 within the slots 8, this being accomplished by placing the pins 13 of members 10 in the outer openings 14: of the plates 11. It will be noted that when the parts are positioned as just described, the sides of the sashes are effectively sealed by the strips 9 and that the construction is of such acharacter that the sash may be raised or lowered without withdrawing the members 9 from the slots 8 of the stiles. r
In order to permit the sash or sashes to be swung on its or their pivot members, pin 13 of each of the respective members 10 is withdrawn from the outer opening or depression This movement of the or members 9 are locked into position witnin the grooves (4, thus permitting the sash to be freely swung on its pivots without interference.
What I claim is:
1. In a reversible window construction, the combination with a pair of casing stiles, of a window sash movably mounted between the stiles and having a plate carried by a cross member or" the sash, one of the said stiles having a vertically extending groove therein, a movable member carried by the window sash and adapted to be entered in the said stile groove, a locking member having one end secured to the movable memher and its free end having means for engaging the said plate.
2. In a reversible window construction, the combination with a pair of casing stiles, of a window sash movably mounted between the stiles and having an apertured plate carried by a cross member of the sash, said stiles having vertically extending grooves therein, movable members mounted in grooves in the sash and adapted to be entered in the said stile grooves, a locking member having one end secured to the upper portion of each movable member and its free end having means for engaging one of the apcrtured plates.
3. In a reversible window construction, the combination with a pair of easing stiles, of a window sash movably mounted between the stiles, one of the said stiles having a vertically extending groove therein, a laterally and vertically movable member carried by the window sash and adapted to be entered in the said stile groove, and locking means on the top of the sash for adjustably connecting the upper end of the movable member and the cross member of the sash.
4. In a reversible window construction, the combination with a pair of easing stiles, or" a window sash movably mounted between the stiles, one of the said stiles having a vertically extending groove therein, a vertically and laterally movable member carried by the window sash and adapted to be entered in the said stile groove, and cooperating locking means at the top of the sash for adjustably connecting the upper end of the movable member with the sash.
In testimony whereof I my signature,
WILLIAM R. WOOD.
