JOHN T. oeonrann, or new YORK, N. Y.

SASH GRIP.

Application filed March 23, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN T. OGonunn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of 8 the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sash Grip, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to attachments for windows and particularly to an improved grip used for raising and lowering the sashes of the window.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved grip which may be arranged either on the lower or upper sash and operate to present a ready structure for an operator to grasp when shifting the window sash.

Another object of the invention, more specifically, is to provide a sash grip which is so formed as to be readily grasped by the hand and at the same time capable of being placed on the upper sash of the window so as to be out of the way of the lower sash 2 when raising and lowering the lower sash or raising and lowering the upper sash.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentary front view of part of a window frame and part of the 80 upper and lower sashes, one of said sashes being shown with the grip embodying the invention applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through Figure 1 approximately on line 22.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view through Figure 1 approximately on line 3-3.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a window frame of any kind and 2 and 8 the upper and lower sashes respectively. These sashes are provided with glass panes in the usual manner and are of the usual construction found in ordinary houses. In apartments and small houses, the upper sash 2 is usually of such a height that an ordinary person may touch the same. In order to provide means for raising and lowering the upper sash, a pair of grips 4.- have been provided as shown in Figure 1. These two grips are identical, i0 phat the description of one will apply to It will be noted that the body or vertical section of the grip is provided with a Serial No. 546,131.

knurledor roughened section 5 whereby the hand will not readily slip when the grip is engaged by the hand for raising and lowering the sash 2. This body or vertical section 5 is bent at the ends for providing integral attaching members consisting of laterally projecting extensions 6 having outer end portions 7, said end portions being designed to receive screws or other securing means 8. In this way, the body 5 is offset inwardly from the inner face 9 of the sash 2. This arrangement prevents the grip from striking the top bar 10 of the lower sash 3. This arrangement of grip permits the sash to be raised or lowered at any time without trouble and in case there is a curtain or shade over the sash 2, the operator may extend his hand around the curtain or shade and grasp the grips 4; to move the sash as desired without injuring or molesting either the shade or curtain. This grip is preferably used on the upper sash in apartments or other dwellings but if desired, it may be used on lower sashes.

The body 5 has been shown in the drawing as corrugated or roughened but it is, of course, understood that this body could be made any shape in cross section and smooth on the outer surface if preferred.

hat I claim is As a new article of manufacture, a sash grip comprising an elongated body provided at its ends with attaching members, said attaching members comprising outer end portions adapted to be secured to the inner face of the upper sash of a window, and, inner end portions merging the outer end portions into the body, said inner end portions extending substantially at right angles to the axis of the body and in the plane of the latter for the initial part of their length from their juncture with the body and then being bent to extend laterally of said plane for the remainder of their length, whereby the body will be supported in a plane parallel to and ofiset inwardly from the plane of the inner face of the upper sash when the outer end portions of the attaching members have been secured to the inner face of the upper sash and the upper sash may be slid vertically in the usual manner without with the lower sash.
