WINDOW CONSTRUCTION.
Application yfiled September 11, 1919. ySerial No. 323,147.
T all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS J. PLYM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Niles, in the county of Ber-rien and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful lm- 1 provements in Window Constructions, of
which the following is a specication. j
My invention relates particularly to improvements in the construction of window tracks and associated mechanism, whereby windows may be opened lwith a swinging motion in a vertical plane vand yet may be weathertight when closed, and I have sought to improve upon ythe `construction of the tracks, to improve upon the connection of j the slidable elements with the track, to provide an improved weatherstrip 'for keeping wind and rain from entering between the sash and the frame, to improve in general upon existing structures of this character, and to accomplish such further objects, advantages, and capabilities as will later more fully appear. f
With these and other incidental objects in view, l have devised the structure shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows a vertical transverse section through an open window showing my construction applied.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary 'elevation of the structure shown in Fig. 1 with part of the frame broken away and in section.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my improved track, showing the connections betweenthe track and the window sash.
Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are detail cross-sec tions along the lines 4 4, 5-5, 6-6, 7 7, and 8-8 of Fig. 2 respectively.
Referring more specifically to these draw* ings, the window casing is .denoted by the numeral 1, the sash by 2, and the track in general by 3. A link 4 is pivotally connected at 'one end to a block 10 secured to the edge of the sash 2, while its opposite end is pivoted at 9 to block 8. Intermediate the ends and nearer tothe one last named is pivoted at 7 a link l5, whose opposite end is piv-v oted at 6 to a block 12 secured vto track 3, as best shown in Fig. 6. At its upper edge, sash 2 has secured thereto a metal strip 11,
. which is pivoted at one end to slidable block 11a, which runs in guideway 17 of track 3, shown best in Fig. 3. The details of this construction are shown best in Fig. 4, where metalstrip 11 is shown connected to block 11a by a rivet 11b, the block being` embossed 14 and 15,the former adapted to co-operate with track 3 to form a weathertight construction to keep wind and water from entering bet-ween the sash and track, and the latter cooperating with window stops 16 to from another weather tight connection. The edges 15 enter into a groove or grooves formed within or'betweenl stops 16, and, being resilient, a close fit is necessarily secured between the parts at this point. Part 14, being resilient, also, is bent slightly when it comes into contact with track 3 to form a tight but yielding joint when the window is closed. It will be noticed that this weatherstrip not only helps to form watertight joints with the window stops and track, but furnishes also a resilient means to assist in keeping the window from rattling in strong winds.
Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, it will be seen that track 3 comprises a hollow guideway 17, whose edges 18 form overhangs which are bent sharply outwardly in extensions 19 and 20, which are then bent away from the face which is to be directed toward the sash, forming rearwardly extending side pieces 21 and 22. Part 22 is then bent laterally to form the edge strip 23 provided with holes for the reception of screws by means of which the track is fastened to the window frame. This edge strip 23 has the securing screws covered by window stop pieces 16 to more securely fasten the track in place and also to hide the screws. The sheet metal of which track 3 is made is resilient, and therefore yields to cause the track to cooperate with part 14 in forming a tight but yielding connection between the sash and the frame.
It is noted that part 21 of track 3 fits closely against the wooden strip 21 of the window frame, thereby forming a tight joint to prevent snow, rain, or dust from getting between the woodwork and the track.
From this` description it will be seen that grooved track 3 with its slot facing the sash serves as a guideway for slidable blocks 8 and 11a; that, because of its resiliency, it cooperates with the weatherstrip on the edge of the sash to keep out wind and rain; also because of its resiliency, it will help the weatherstrip in compensating' jor swelling and contracting or the sash and frame as the same gets wet and dries out, and also beV cause of its resiliency, .a.,.closev but sufficiently yielding connection between the sash and frame is formed to avoid yany straining of parts when opening and closing the window.
In operation, when the sash is pushed outwardly at the bottom, it carries withitpthe upper end or link Ll, and because ofthe 'pivotalc'onnectionvof link 5 at points 6 and 7, the lower end of link l is caused to move upwardly, carrying with it, in guideway 17, the 4block 8. At the same time, the upper edge 4of the sash attached t block 1lL1 moves downwardly, carrying said yblock downwardly along gl'iideway 17. The operation ofthe device is very much improved by having the hollow track and the blocks or shoes ruiming in the openingl or' the track.
It should be noted that thisdevice vmay i beinstalledby attachingb'lockl() 'and'.str'ip ll tothe edge of the sash and then placingthis whole assembly in place within'the window trame, after which screws are inserted, the holes in the edge strip 23 or' track 3 land window stops `16 are put on to nishthe installation. This method of assembly and Iinstallation is much simpler thanprevious methods and makes it possible for the work to be done quickly and easily.
Though I have shown and described in considerable ldetail the preferred form of my invention, this is not to be construed in a limitingpsense, the `same being done for the purpose of enabling one 'skilled in the art to which this invention pertains to construct and irs-eth1; same.
Having now described my invention,
l claim: t
l. track 'for a window construction comprising a hollow guideway havingI overhangs within which blocks may slide and be retained by the overhangsor'the guideway, extensions from the overhangs extending laterally beyond the guifdeways, and side pieces extending rearwardly from the said extensions, one of which side pieces serves as attaching vmeans or holding the track to a window frame.V I
2. A track for a window construction comprising a lhollow guideway having overhangs and within which blocks may slide and be retained by the overhangs, lateral extensions from the overh-angs, and `side pieces rearwardly extending from said lat eral extensions, one olf said side pieces serving as attaching` means for holding the track to a window frame, said lastnam`ed side piece being resilient whereby the guideway may be resiliently supported upon the frame for lateral movement underpressure.
ln la window construction, a resilient hollow 'track supported by Vone edge for slight lateral Iresilient movement, in combination with a sash having a metal weatherstrip vsecured to an edge thereof, said lweatherstrip having an edge curved over to closely engage the track and prevent the entrance'o'f wind and water.

6. In a window construction having va 'frame and a sash, in which the -sash is adapted to swingloutwardly, parallel to a vertical plane, a hollow track having a flange whereby it is' resiliently mounted upon'the frame and having a slot facing the sash, `a block rigidly mounted in the track' and a vpair of blocks slidably mounted in the track, one near the bottom and one near the top thereof, one or such slidable blocks being `pivot-ally connected through the slottovthe sash, and a link lpivotally connecting the sashand the other slidable block and pivotalliy co'nnectedby means of' a link to the iXed'block, Asaidv sash and 'trac-kwith their connections being yassembled"as a unit and placed inthe frame, there being whindow stops jtocoverthe track securing means and serve as abutmentsagainst whifch'the sashwmay swing.
