WINDOW-SASH HOLDER.v
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 14, 1922.
Application filed October 9,-1920. Serial No. 415,813.
To all whom t may concern Be it known .that we, ALTHnoD J. HoULn and ELMER H. HUMBLE, citizens of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Vindow-Sash Holder, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to weightless window sashes and more particularly to holders therefor.
The object of the invention is to provide a window sash equipped with a spring carrying casting, which casting may be made to fit windows of any size and the spring adjusted to support sashes of any weight.
Another object is to provide such a holder constructed so as to be applicable to any sash by mortising out a recess in one side rail to receive the spring carrying casting.
Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described, and then specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure l' represents a front elevation showing a window equipped with this improved sash holder.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the holder in operative position.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the holder detached.
Fig. 4 is a face view of the holder, and,
Fig. 5 is a detail transverse section taken on the line 5--5 of Fig. l.
In the embodiment illustrated a window frame F of ordinary construction is shown having mounted for sliding movement therein upper and lower sashes l and 2, respectively, the side rail of each of which has mounted therein a holder 5 constituting thisinvcntion. These holders are all alilre and are constructed in the form of castings mounted in recesses 4 mortised out of the side rails of the sash as is shown clearly in Fig. 2, the recesses being of a size to snugly receive the castings.
Each casting 5 has at its opposite ends outwardly extending forwardly offset apertured lugs 6 whichrest in recesses 7 formed in the outer edge of the side rail 3 of the sash adjacent the ends of recess 4 so that when the casting is assembled in operative position, the outer faces of the lugs 6 will be flush with the outer edges of the sash rail.
An outwardly bowed leaf spring 8 is mounted in the casting 5 and is adjustably secured at its opposite ends therein by means of screws 9, the tightening up of which reduces the length of the spring and consequently the resiliency thereof.
Mounted on the center of the bowed leaf spring 8 is a roller l0 designed to contact with the window frame stile to facilitate the ready movement of the sash in the lifting and lowering thereof and which will yet operate to frictionally engage the frame and hold the sash in.adjusted position.
From-the above description it will be obvious that the sash equipped with this improved holder may be readily raised or lowered and held in adjusted position by frictional contact of the roller with the window frame which is held in such position by the pressure of the spring 8. The use of this device dispenses with weights, ropes and pulleys such as are ordinarily used for suspending window sash in raised position and to facilitate the vertical movement thereof. It also avoids the necessity of the construction of pockets to receive the weights, thereby economizing in the lumber used, cheapening the initial cost of a window.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the drawings and set forth inthe specification, but it will be understood that any modifications within the scope of the claim may be made in the construction without departing from the principle of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Vhat is claimed is:
The combination with a window sash having a rectangular mortise in one side rail thereof with shallow seats in the outer face of said rail communicating with the ends of said mortise; of a holder shaped to fit and seat in said mortise and comprising a casting having longitudinally extending apertured ears at its opposite ends fitting in said seats flush with the outer face of said rail and secured by screws passing through said apertures, an outwardly bowed leaf spring mounted in said casting with its ends engaging the end walls of the castings at their junction with the casting, screws i extendingl through the' ends of Said spring tate movementof the and frietionlly at points spaced from its terminals and hold it in adjusted position.
having threaded engagement with the bot- In testimony whereof, We aix our signa# 10 tom of sai-d' casting, whereby -the tension tures hereto. Y i Y V- of the spring may be varied, and :i roller I carried by the crown of said spring to cn- ALTHEODV J. HOULE.
Y tact with the Window frame stile to 'fzicili-V l ELMER H. HUMBLE.
