WINDOW.

Application led May 2, 1923. Serial No. 636,155.

To all whom it may comem-.

Be it known that we, JOHN POLACHEK, JULTUs JErsEN, and EDMUND PEREMI, citizens of the United States, and residents, respectively, of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State lof New York; of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn,l 1n the county of Kings and State of New York; and of the city of New York, Elmhurst Manor, Long Island, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Window, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descri tion.

T is invention relates to improvements in windows and has particular reference to a metallic window construction. v

An object of the invention is to provide an improved window wherein the window frame and sashes are so constructed and interengaged that the same will effectively prevent the ingress of air and dust into a room when the sashes are in closin position.

Another object is to construct t e framesand sashes in such manner that the window may be readily and quickly assembled in operative positlon.

The above and other objects will a pear more clearly from the following'detall description, when taken in connection with the accompanyin drawings, which illustrate a preferred em odiment of the inventive idea.

In the drawin Figure 1 is a ront elevation of the window constructed in accordance with'the invention; I

Figure 2 is a section substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1,- illustrating both sashes in cross section;

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectionv on the line 3-3 of Figure l; and

Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the stiles of the sashes.

The window is made of any desirable material, such as steel or bronze, and the material is rolled or extruded to form the various arts of the window. The frame of the win ow comprises the side, to `and sill sections 5, 6 and 7, respectively. nasmuch as the side and top sections are identical in construction, a description of one will suiiice for both and similar characters will be used to-designate like parts. The side sections,

only one of which is illustrated in Figure 2, each comprises the outer, intermediate and inner portions 8, 9 and 10, respectively, the intermediate portion being secured along its longitudinal edges to the adjacent overlapping longitudinal edges of the outer and inner sections by means of suitable fasteners 11. Medially of its longitudinal edges the intermediate portion 9 is bent to provide a parting strip 12 and on opposite sides of said parting strip the portion 9 is further provided with flanges 13 which combine with the sides of the parting strip 12 to form grooves 14 for a purpose which will presently appear. The longitudinal edges of the intermediate portion 9 are also bent to form anges 15 which cooperate with adjacent portions 16 and 17 of the outer and inner members 8 and 10 of the side section to form other grooves 18.

The sill section 7 is of channeled formation so as -to receive a suitable material 19 utilized to securely anchorsaid section in proper position-with respect to the sill of' the window opening. Intermediate the edges of the section 7 the same is provided with an upwardly projecting portion 20 having the sides 21 and 22, the latter of which cooperatesjwith a flange 23 to form a groove 24 for a purpose-which will appear in the course ofthe descri tion.

The window furt 1er comprises the upper and lower sashes 25 and 26 which are practically identical in construction. The sashes 25 and 26 include Stiles, generally indicated by the numeral 27, the upper and lower rails 28 and 29 and the meeting rails 30 and 31. The stiles 27 and the upper and lower rails 28 and 29 are substantially alike in construction and each includes a web portion 32 having the ianges 33 extending from the longitudinal edges thereof in the same direction and in parallel relation. Adjacent one of the longitudinal edges of the web portion 32 a third flange 34 extends in the opposite direction from the flan es 33, but in parallel relation thereto and thls flange 34 is utilized in securing the ane of glass in the window sash, as clearly illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. The flanges'33 of the stiles 27 and the same flanges of the top rail 28 of the upper sash are en ageable in the rooves 14 and 18 and comine with the si e and top sections of the frame to form the air chambers 35. By the provision of the plurality of points of contact and interengagement between the frame and the sashes and the formation of the air chambers, it will be obvious that the construction will effectively prevent the ingress of air or dirt into the interior of a-room when the sashes are in closing position. The flanges 33 of the bottom rail 29 are of different widths and when the lower sash is in closing position the outer flange overlaps the side 21 of the portion 20 of the sill section, while the inner flange engages in the groove 24 formed by the side 22 and flange 23, thus further providing an effective means for preventing air and dust entering a room; The bottom rail 29 combines with the portion 20 of the sill section to form an air chamber 36 which communicates with the chambers 35. The meeting rails 30 and 31 are provided along their adjacent edges with flanges 37 and 38, respectively, which overlap as clearly illustrated in Figure 3, when the sashes are in closing position.

Disposed on each side of the window frame and extending partially over the top thereof are casings 39 in which the parting strips 40 are disposed for dividing the casings into compartments for receiving the usual counterweights 41 for the sashes. The intermediate portions 9 of the side sections of the frame may be provided, if desired, with rubber bumpers 42 attached to plates 43 and against which the lower sash 26 may engage to prevent noise when opening the window. The intermediate portions 9 may be removed by looseninglthe screws 11 so that access may be had to the interior of the casings 39 for the purpose of repairing or replacing the counterweights or their associated parts. l

The lower sash 26 may be provided with an operating handle 44 to facilitate the raising and lowering of the sash. The meeting rails 30 and 31 are locked together by a locking device 45 of any desired construction and in addition to this lookin device the lower sash 26 may also be provi ed with a suitable lock 46 in the form of a spring pressed bolt carried by the inner section 10, as shown in Figure 2.

What is claimed is:

l. In a window construction, a. Window frame having side, top and sill sections, said side and top sections each including inner, intermediate and outer members, said intermediate members being formed with a parting strip and flanges arranged on each side of said strip, certain of said flanges combining with said parting strip to formY grooves and others of the flanges combining with the inner andv outer` sections to form other grooves, said sill section being provided with an upwardly extending portion and a flange adjacent said portion to form a groove, and sashes mounted in said frame and including flanges engageable in the grooves in said side, top and sill sections when the sashes are in closing position.

2. vIn a window construction, a window frame having side, top and sill sections, said side and top sections each including inner, intermediate and outer members, said intermediate members being formed with a parting strip and flanges arranged on each side of said strip, certain of said flanges combining with said parting strip to form grooves and others of the flanges combining with the inner and outer sections to form other grooves, said sill section being provided with an upwardly extending portion and a flange adjacent said portion to form a roove, and sashes mounted in said frame an including flanges engageable in the grooves in said side, top and sill sections when the sashes are in closing position, the flanges of said sashes and sections cooperating to form air chambers.

3. In a window construction, a window frame formed with a side section, said side section comprising inner, intermediate and outer members, said inner and outer members being formed with means adapted to interlock with a wall, an upstanding portion ladapted to fit against the window sash and an inwardly extending portion adapted to overla part of the intermediate member, said intermediate member being formed with a. section substantially Ushaped in cross section at the center acting as a parting strip, a pair of flanges spaced a short distance from said vparting stri whereby sash receiving grooves are provi ed, an upstanding flange at each edge of the intermediate member co-acting wlth the inner ahd outer members for forming sash receiving grooves,l and a air. of flanges on the side of the interme iate member opposite the parting strip adapted to engage said inner and outer members along their inner edges, and means extending through the intermediate member for rigidly securing the same to said inner and outer members.
