Application filed August 15,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN McAsKILL, a resident of Brooklyn, Kings County, New f the United States, certain new and useful Im- Sliding and Swinging Winprovements in h the following is a spec1 dows, of whi fication.

This invention relates to windows, and more especially to swinging and vertically moving sashes, the object ,of the invention being to provide the window structure wit grooves which are used in certain parts but which are absent on other parts of the window frame so that the sash frames may be swung from their operative positions for thepurpose of repair, to afford more ventilation for the room, or to clean the glass anes.

The window in the frame to prevent or cold air, but when, it the sashes on their hinges sashes are normally secured the admission of rain is desired to swing they are slid to positions in the allowed to swing open; then both may remain in these positions or same level.

These and other objects are more fully described in the following set forth in the appended claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a window with the improved sashes and showing the dotted lines;

the inside;

Fig. 3 is same;

Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 4--4 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a similar view on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2; v Fig. 6 is a fragmentary detail of the upper sash and its slide;

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the upper end of the upper sash from the outside;

Fig. 8 is a similar view of the lower sash from the outside; and

Fig. 9 is a reduced view of the window from the inside showing how the sashes swing in the window frame.

In windows of this description as heretofore made, the sashes are secured by some a vertical sectional view of the shown in dotted lines of the invention 1922. Serial No. 582,067.

screw or catch that must be removed before they can be swung open. The present invention seeks to eliminate all'such adjuncts and at the same time to effect a positive and thorough closure of the window opening or to permit the swinging inward of the sashes to leave the opening in the window frame practically clear.

At each side of the window frame 10 is located a slide 11 or 12 playing respectively in a guideway 13 or 14, the slide 12 normally h located at the upper right-hand end of the storm-tight means consisting of tongues and frame, while the slide 11 is normally located in the lower left-hand side of the frame.

Any form of counterweight may be connected'with these slides and hold them at any desired point, and the weights 30 are in Fig. 2 and will answer the purpose.

To the slide 11 is hinged the lower sash 15, as shown in-Fig. 5, and the opposite edge of this sash has a groove16 that receives a the tongue 17 forming a part of one of vertical members of the window frame, while the hinged edge has an overlapping lip 18 which fits around one side of the slide while the window is closed to provide a thorough closure against wind or rain.

The slide 11 is made weather-proof by its side flanges 19 and central tongue that abuts flange 18, and the whole is designed to close ly close out'the elements. of the sash is the usual beveled bar 20, while the usual strip 21 is provided at the sill. A thorough closure is therefore provided around the entire sash.

The upper sash 22 is similar to sash 15, but its hinges and slide 12 are at the opposite side of the frame.- As will be seen in Fig. 4, the guideway 14 is made up of the vertical members of the window frame, and as also shown in Figs. 6 and 7 the adjacent lip 23 acts as an efiicient weather strip on the outside of the sash at the hinged edge. The opposite edge of this sash 22 has the vertical groove 24 to receive a tongue 25 on the window frame, and to provide a closure against the elements a lip 26, on the outer face of the sash, plays in a corresponding roove in the window frame.

The above described construction provides a simple but very complete closure when the sashes are closed, and which in no way interferes with the operation of the sashes.

When it is desired to swing the sashes open the closures 17 and 25 will not prevent the inward swing of the sashes when the upper sash is slid to its extreme lower position in the frame and the lower sash is slid to its extreme upper position.

, To swing the lower sash 15 open, it is elevated until its e swung inward, dotted lines .and then lowered to the position shown. The upper sash 22 is then lowcred until its grooved edge is free from the tongue 25, and it may then be easily swung inward and thewhole frame leftfree and open, the said sash being hinged to slide 12 far enough out to permit the sash to avoid the tongue 17- and swing inward at substantially a right angle.

Reversing this operation will again put the sashes in their operative positions.

Itwill'be seen in Figs. 3 and 7 that the upper end of slide 12 is extended above its hinged and accompanying sash. As the sash oes not normally extend to the top of the frame in this instance a recess is left at this point in which a shade roller 27 may be journalled and removed from the outer face of the frame, thus not appearance but protecting the shade from injury.

It is obvious that the device may be otherwise arranged or modified without departingfrom the essential features above described or from the-scope of the appended claims. I

What I claim is:

' 1. In a window, the combination of a frame having on each side strips defining a guideway a. slide in each guideway, and adapted to normally be located inthe upper part and the lower partof the frame respectively, a tongue in each guideway and opposite the normal position of each slide, a sash hinged to each slide and having a groovein its free edge to engage and recelve'the tongue, and weather closures at the hinged edge of the sashes.

I 2. In a window, the combination of a window frame havi g s'ide strips, a slide at each side of the frame and adapted to play between the strips, a sash hinged to each slide and having a groove in its free edge and a lip at its hinged edge, a tongue at the lower part of one side of the frame to be received in the groove of the lower sash,

only improving its.

'posite guideway,

a tongue-in the upper part of the side of the frame and opposite the side of the first tongue and adapted to be received in the groove of .the upper sash, and weights for the sashes.

3. In a window, the combination of side strips on the frame of saidwindow and defining guideways, a. slide of substantially T-shape and adapted to play in the guideways at each side of the frame, a sash hinged to each slide and having a lip at the hinged edge and adapted to project over the edge of said slide to form a weather strip and having a groove in its outer and free edge, a tongue'in the guideway at the lower end of one side of the frame to be received by the groove of the edge of one of the sashes when in normal and closed action, and a similar tongue in the upper end of the opposite guideway to be received in the groove of the other sas 4. In a window, the combination of a frame having strips within each side to define guideways, substantially T-shape slides adapted to play vertically in the guideways, an upper sash hinged to one of the slides and having a projection to overlap the said slide and having a v I free edge, a tongue on part of one of said guideways to be received by the groove in the sash, an extension on the upperrndof said slide, a lower sash hinged to the other slide and having a projection same slide and a groove ,in its free,edge, a tongue in the lower part of the frame adapt: ed to be received in the groove of the latter sash, and a projection at the hinged-edge of the latter sash.

5. In a window, the frame having vertical guideway at each side, a tongue in the guideway at the lower end of one side of the frame, a tongue in the upper end of the opa slide substantially T- shaped in crosssection held in the uideways at each side of the frame and a apted to move vertically, an upper and lower. sash hinged to the respective slides and having grooves to receive-the opposite tongues, and

combination of a lips on the hinged edges of the sashes to signature.
