aeaeae sir "stars r ALIBION F. W'IXSCN, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
'WINDOVJ' HEIGHT.
Application filed January 4, 1923. Serial no. 610,589.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBION F, lVIxsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Window Weights, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same;
My invention relates to-window weights and has for its object to provide a weight capable'of being readily broken into a plurality of sections of predetermined: weight. As a salient feature of this invention, I'so construct the weight that the separated sections at the breaking line will have ends prepared to receive coupling devices. This feature permits all of the sections of a weight to be utilized, either individually or recoupled together in any desired order to make up a sectional weight of substantially any desired heaviness. The weight may have any suitable form in cross-section and ,it may consist of two or more sections or portions capable of being readily broken apart. 7
To meet the demands of the trade, it has, as is well known, hitherto been considered necessary and it has been the common practice to make window weights in a very large number of different sizes, requiring a pat- It is not an uncommon thing for a dealer to carry as much as from thirty to forty different sizes of window weights, and as some of these sizes are always running out ahead of others, the deal er finds it necessary frequently to give small orders to fill in with the depleted sizes.
In some cases, it has already been the practice to provide a window weight with a small end section capable of being broken off to reduce the size of the weight, but the broken-off portion has necessarily been treated as wasteor used for scrap-because no provision has hitherto been made for coupling together or individually using as a weight any of the broken-off sections.
My invention practically revolutionizes the scheme of making, carrying in stock and using window weights and makes it possible for a dealer to readily meet all of the de- 'mands for the various different window three different sizes of my improved windowweights. For example, the three sizes carriet might be as follows: 1. A window weight made up of three sections capable of being readily broken apart and the sections thereof in poundsrepresenting 12-1l--14. 2. A. second or similar window weight in which the sections in pounds represent 68- l0; and 3, a third weightin which the sections in pounds represent 5-7-9. Three such window weights, capable of being broken into sections such as indicated and reassembled in any desired order or used separately, will afford means for producing substantially all of the different sizes of win dow weights that will be required by the trade. In fact, a single three-section weight such as noted, will give a considerable range of variation in weight.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the inventioi1,-like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. l is an elevation with some parts sectioned, showing such a window weight designed with a rectangular crosssection; and
Fig. 2 is a perspective showing a portion of one of the window weight sections and particularly indicating the line on which it is broken and the condition of that end of the weight section.
The weight illustrated is made up of three sections Z) and c which are adapted to be readily broken apart on definite lines by casting V-shaped channels 3 at the places where the separation of the sections should be made. The upper and lower end-s of the complete weight are also preferably beveled at 4:.
Window weights are usually hung on the lower ends of cords or chains, and to adapt such to be inserted into the ends of the weight, the latter is formed at its ends with axial passages 5 that load to the central portions of diametric or transverse passages 6. To give to the broken ends of the weight sections the same construction as is provided at the ends of the main weight, axial holes. 7 are extended longitudinally of the weight from diametric or transverse passages 8, which latter are located on opposite sides of the breaking lines afforded by the channels 3.
The passages 56 and Z8 may be readily formed, in the process of casting the weight,
