SASH MOUNTNG.

Application filed .Tune 19, 1923. Serial No. 646,340.

To all 'whom t may concern.' p

Be it'known that I, ARTHUR C. Seurin, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city and county ot' San Francisco, State of California, have made a new and useful invention, to wit, Improvements in Sash Mountings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, concise, and exact description ot the same.

This invention relates particularly to a mounting for supporting and controlling the opening and closing movements of av sash or other analogous enclosures.

An object of the invention is to provide a sash mounting which is simple in construction, easily installed, demoimted and adjusted, which will support a sash uniformly in all adjustments and permit the sash to be substantially reversed on its mounting.

A further object ot fthe. invention is t0 provide a sash guiding mechanism for controlling and regulating the opening and closing movement of a swinging sash within a window frame, and having means to in crease or .diminish the reeness ci movement of the moving parts of the sash guiding mechanism.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a window frame having a sash slidably and pivotally related thereto by means of frictionally adjustable. supporting arms, connecting the sash and frame, for maintaining the sash in any open position against wind pressure and the like. Other objects and advantages will appear as this description progresses.

ln this specification and the annexed drawings, the invention is illustrated in the form considered to be the best, but it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to such form, because it may be embodied in other forms, and it is also to be understood that in and by the claims following the description, it is desired to cover the invention in whatsoever form it may be embodied.

ln the accompanying two sheets of drawings,

Fig. l is a vertical cross-section taken through a window frame having a sash mounted ther-ein in accordance with my invention.

'Fig 2 is a cross-section taken through Fig. l on the` line .2-2 showing the sash in the closed or vertical position.

Fig. 3 is a section taken through Fig. 1 on the line 3 3, showing the sash in a vertical position within a window frame.

Fig. 4: is a vertical section through a window trame having a sash mounted therein on a` modified form of operating apiparatus.

- Fig. 5 is an enlarged `fragmentary crosssection taken through Fig. 4 at the uppermost slide shoe and showing the sash in a closed or vertical position. i

Fig. 6 is an enlarged section taken through Fig. l: on the line (5e-6.

Fig. 7 is a still further modified form of construction. i

Fig. 8 is a modified torni of guide track.

This invention relates to the pivoting of a window sash, on its opposite stiles at a pair oit corresponding points, to slide shoes which are slidably retained in a pair of independent and angularly arranged guides on opposite sides of a easement. Y

In detail, the construction illustrated in the drawings includes a window frame composed of a sill l, stool 2, and side jambs 3, connected across the top by the lintel 4,. together with the usual stops 5, or other weatherprooling linish, mounted on the interior ci the jambs, stool and lintel.

A sash 6 is adapted to be mounted in the window trame and slidably and pivotallyfi connected at a pair ot corresponding points, on each of its opposite stiles, to separate slide members one member of each `pair being confined to vertical and the other to horizontal movements on the adjacent side of the window frame.

The side jambs 3, of' the trame are either channeledto form guideways, as in Fig.' 7, or are provided with metal guideways 7 having ange edges 8 thereon, shown in Figs. l through 3, which are adapted toi be secured in a relatively vertical position and in alignment with each other, on the opposite side j ambs. The flange edges 8 of the channel gui'deways 7 have holes therein, l through which nails or screws may passior iixedly securing the guideways to the said jambs. The stops 5 are adapted to be secured to the j ambs 3, to partially cover the guideways 7 so as to finish the interior of the window `frame in accordance with standard practice. The channel guideways 7 are preferably Jformed from metal ot any desirable contour. li' desired, the guideway 7 could be provided with means for regulating friction on the slide shoe by the construction' indicated in F ig. 8..

. Slide shoes 12, consisting of metal; members with flange'ends 11 are adapted to be slidably retained on the `guideways 7. The

' v flanges 11 project away from the guideways the; socket plates .to secure ythe sashl and /socketl platestogether and tof permit the obtaining of: lateral adjustmentof thesash 6 within the window frame.` At the .upper ends'thel socket plates 19l are pivoted to the' flanges 11, and at the lower ends, the said. socketv plates are pivoted to the hor'- zontal slide shoes 17, to be hereinafterl described in1 detail. Thismanner of mounting the opposite Stiles of thesash inthe socket plates isa` `convenient and economical method off. mounting or demountingthe sash for con- Y nectioniV to its operating ixtures land elimi-v natesthev necessity of having to remove said fixtures from the window frame. The slide shoeS-f'1i2support the sash 6 for sliding movement` inf al vertical direction, and` also per# Y mitlthesash to'be swung outwardly from a both jambe 31 of the window frame. guideways 1,4-` are preferably placed at right l zontal and. vertical guides, will cross. The4 closed. verticalzposition to a substantially reversed position.

Channel shaped guideways 14 are placed in a substantially horizontalvr positionTon -he anglesato-gtheguideways 7 in order that the p-aths;-,ofr sliding4 movement, in both theV horisideijambs. are grooved out to receive the guideways: 14l and to allow the outer faces ofthe guideways 14 tovlie flush@ with the facesof thegjambs 3' and'v to pass under the vertically-positioned guideways?. Although have; shownlanddescribed the vertical and- I bothgguideways, integrally, in one element.

'lihei bentzv side 16 of'the-guidewayv- 14 isv f horizontal;` guideways; as separateandindependent members, it would bev clearly within.- the,.fp11rviewA of-*the invention lto formY shapedso thatthefree edge 16-` extends over thefv channel forl a greater distance than the opposite edgesof-,said guideway.

The slide `shoes 17 are connected bvf; thel pivots- 18,5 to the lower end lof. socketplates' 19, on oppositestiles of the sashv 6, hetiveenthe head rail` andv horizontal center ofrythesash.V Screws 21 pass through openings; provided` in the bent sides 16l ofl the guideways 14 into the jambs 3 for the pur- The sash 6, by means. of the verticallyY slidable shoes 12 and the horizontally slid'- able shoes 17, may be thus supported with-1n the window frame and moved fromy a closed vertical position intoI a substantially reversed,

position. The slide shoes 12 retained in the vertical guideways 7 support the sash withinthe, window opening, andv additional, support is furnished to the sash by the shoes 1'7 slid vng in the horizontal guideways, which support and give an accurate control over the movement of the sash.

In the modified form ofsashl mounting shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, vertically positioned guideways-7 are provided which extend approximately the full length of the sash. The sash 6 is pivotally connected at its upper end by pivots 13 on the plates 23 to the slide shoes 11', slidably mountedfon the vertical guideways 7 Horizontal guideways 14 are mounted at corresponding points on the side jambs 3 in recesses, or

grooves, provided in saidjambs andthe slide shoes 17 are slidably conined in the guideways 14. Sash supporting arms l24 are pivoted at 25 to the plates 25 on the opposite rabbetted stiles of the sash 6, at points intermediate the head rail 6 of said sash and the horizontal center thereof, The opposite ends of the arms 24. are pivoted at 26 to` slide shoes 27 (corresponding to the slide shoes 11 which are mounted for movement in avertical direction on the guidel` ways 7. The` arms 24 are pivoted interme-y diate their ends at 28 to the slide shoesl' mounted in the horizontal guideways 14.. Screws 20 are adapted to pass through one side ofl the guideways 14. for creating friction on the slide shoes 17 arms 24v may be efectivel tion with the slide shoes 1 of the horizontal guideways, for supporting and controlling the opening and closing movements ofay sash of a larger size than could bek conveniently operated by the mechanism shown in- Figs. 1 through 3y inclusive. The arms 24, thus aid the slide shoes 11' yin supporting the weight of the sash 6.

Both of the

sash

6 or 6 illustrated in the drawings, when operatively installed in a window frame are opened by manually pushing outwardly on the lower rail of said sash. The outward movement of the lower rail of the sash causes they slide shoes 11 or 11 (on the head rails of the sash)y to defA scend. As the ,upper railfof the sash a proaches the horizontal plane, the sli 'e The supportused, in conjuncf` shoes 17 or 17 in the horizontal guides, move outwardly. The horizontally

movable slide shoes

17 or 17 serve to support the weight of the sash in conjunction with the supportof the sash controlled bythe slide shoes 1l or 11 on the vertical guides. The control of the sash in a window frame by either the preferred or modified forms of construction is identical. The modified form of construction is resorted to where the sash to be supported can not be conveniently manipulated and controlled by the preferred form of sash mounting. A sash mounted in the manner described may be substantially reversed in a window opening so as to present its outer surface to the interior of a room to facilitate washing.

Although I have shown 'and described a sash mounting with particular referenceto a wooden window sash, it is to be understood thatit would be clearly within the purview of the invention to utilize the sash mounting on different kinds of windows and transoms. Although I have illustrated and described a vertically positioned sash adapted to operate in a vertical plane it is to be understood the type of sash mounting` described could be applied equally as well to a casement window adapted to operate in a horizontal plane.
