Application filed February 27, 1922. Serial No. 539,654. 1

ventilator'adapted tobe positioned in the lower rail of a window sash, although not necessarily restricted to this position, as the same may be readily applied to the upper sash, and also to doors, cars and the like.

Objcctsjofmy invention are to provide a ventilator of the character described so constructed as to permit a room to be readily.

ventilated without opening the window; to provide improved means for controlling the influx of air intothe room; to provide means associated with and actuated by control mechanism, the said means being in the form'- "of receptacles adapted to hold medicated material so that the influx of the air particularly into a sick room will be pure and extremely sanitary. I

A further object of this invention is to provide a device of the'character described, which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, and which can be readily inserted in the sash of a window without materially altering the construction of the same.

Other objects andadvantages will be ap parent during the courseof the following description. i

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Fig. 1. is a front elevation of the lower end of a window sash havingmy improved ventilator applied thereto, Y y

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. l, i

Fig. 3 is a horizontal view. taken on, the line 33 of Fig.2, r

Fig. is a detail plan view showing the meansior holding in position the pivoted door of the ventilator, N

Fig. 5 is a rear elevation of the ventilator, Fig. 6 is a modified type of ventilator, and V v Fig. 7 is another type of ventilator that 7 may be employed.

In the accompanying drawings wherein preferred embodiment of my invention, the reference character-A designates an ordinary windowsash, the lower end rail 01* which is provided with a lringitudinalslot oropening 8, which slot extends substan--- tially the entire- Width of the lower rail and is adapted to receive therein the ventilating device herewith designated as a whole by thenumeral 9. 7

The ventilating device embodies in its'construction a rectangular casing including a iorthe purpose of illustration is shown a top wall 10,- a bottom wall 11, and side walls 12. This casing is adapted to fit snugly in the spaceofthe bottom rail that is provided by the opening 8, andin orderthat the descri tion of the osition of the casin with relation to the sash maybe readily "under stood, the part of the casing thatextends itlnn the room,as shown n Fig. 1, will be hereinafter referred to as the front-of,

the ventilating device, while the portion that is positionec ad acent the outside of the sash,

as shown to advantageinFig. 5, will be re ferred to as the rear of the ventilatingdevice. The respective'walls of the, casing terminate at the front thereof in flanges 13, which flanges pcrmitthe'casing to be secured to the.

bottom rail .J'i, and preferably detachably Adja cent the rear oft-he casing a screen 15 is secured, by fastening elements 14.

suitably retained by rear "flanges 15"o-f the casing. The purpose of this screen is to prevent the entrance ofinsccts or bulky foreign matter into'thesaid casing.

As shown to advantage in be observed that the flanges 15'-are cutaway in order to provide'means for the exit of rain water, that may enter the ventilating device through the screen and accumulate therein. 7

Adoor 16 is pivotally secured to' the side walls 12Iofthe casing, and the po ntsof; pivotal contact are preferably oil-center, as

disclosed to advantage in Fig. 2. -This door has mounted adjacent its upper extremity, on the outside thereof, a handle 17, suitably curved to ailord a hand hold not. only for conveniently actuating the door fwhen it is desired to open or. close the ventilating device, but also "to present a means for readily ralslng the wmdow sash when occasion ,may demand.

The numeral 18 designates a pair of,

curved extremities, preferably formed integral with the door and positioned adjacent Fig. '5 it"will til the lower extremity of the same, but disposed on the inside thereof in contra-distinction to the curved handle 17. The purpose of these extensions will he hereinafter fully explained; V i

As shown to advantage in Figures 2 and at, the top Wall 10 has slots 19 formed therein adjacent the'front of the casing, and the portion of the wall between the slots is longitudinally grooved or inwardly bent as at 20. 'lhe-purpose of this construction is to have the inwardly 'bent portion 20'con- -vitlrthe top of the door 16 when 1t is. moved from the dotted nneposition to the;

"full line position as shown in Fig. 2. By employingthe slots 19 the portion disposed between-the same will, due to its inherent soi'ing nature, firmly engage the top of the said door, and prevent. its accidental displac iient from its closed position.

The numerals 21 and 22 designate receptacles which can eitherbe made integral u t3. the side walls 12, can be positioned ad iacent thereto. 'l 'hese receptacles are pr. ."lClGCl'WVl-illl hinged doors 23 provided with extensions lneach of these receptacles, l propose to insert a'iuzantity ot' medicated material such as a-bso; :ent cotton on which is sprinkled carbolic acid or some suitable sanitary medicinal preparation. It will be obvious from this construction, that when the door of the ventilating device is opened, as shown indotted line position in Fig. 2, that the ex ensions-l8 will contact with the doors 23 and the receptacles will accordingly he opened.

inns the influx fresh air will mizgfaith the medicated atmosphere Willlllil the ventilating device and'carry pure air intotie room. in conjunction with the ventilating device preferably for hospital rooms, although it is to he understood that the ventilating device can be readily constructed without.

the use of these receptacles. In order to limit the u-p .vard movement of the hinged doors 23, stops 25 provided on the Walls 12 are positioned directly above. the said doors.

lVhile .l have shown a rectangular casing disposed within the bottom rail A of the window .fiSllIlCVGlthGlQSS, it is to be under-- stood that modified forms of devices such as I those of around. o-roval shape as shown in Figs. 6 and T, can likewisehe employed.

These said 7 i ed "forms an readily accommodate the various parts'o'f the device ashetore described, except that the door 16 will be made to conform to the shape of the device use 1 i it is to he understood that the form of 'Ihe use or these receptacles my invention, herewith shown and'described is to be taken as a preferred example of the smile, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of partsmay be resorted to Without departing fromthe spirit otthe invention or the scope 01"- the uhjoined claims.
