UNITED STATES MILTON H. zIEeLna, on AKRON, 01110.
WEATHER srarr.
Application filed. October 15, 1923. Serial No; 668,735.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, LIILTONJHQ ZIEGLER, a citizen of the'United States of America, residing at Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WVeather Strips, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates generally to weather strips and particularly to weather strips designed for use upon hinged sashes.
The principal obj eet of the invention is to provide weather stripping which will engage the window sill tightly when the sash is closed and which willvdisengage itself from the sill as the sash is opened.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a weather strip of this nature which is possessed of a simple and efficient construction, one which is reliable in use, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, readily associated with the ordinary hinged sash, durable, attractive in appearance, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
-With the above and other objects in View as will appear as the description progresses, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of theweather strip showing the same associated with a window sash and frame.
Figure 2 is a horizontal transverse section taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1 looking downwardly.
Figure 3 is a vertical section taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 1.
Figure A is a detail perspective view of the weather strip,
Figure 5 is a rear elevation of the weather strip,
Figure 6 is a detail perspective showing a section through the weather strip,
Figure 7 is a perspective view of one of the stop elements used in conjunction with the sash and weather strip, and
Figure 8 is an end elevational view of the weather strip.
Referring to the drawing detail it; will b t 1 des na th rdinary W dow frame and 2 the sill thereof. The sash 3 is of-conventional construction and hinged to the frame as indicated at 4.
v The weather strip includes a fixed leaf A and a hinged leaf B. The fixed leaf A is in the form of a bar provided with an overhanging extension or depending longitudinal flange 5. This fixed leaf is secured to the bottom of the sash 3. The leaf B is in the form of a bar having its upper edge beveled and hinges 6 are attached thereto having each one of its leaves engaged with the bevel end or edge of the leaf B. The other leaf of the hinges are secured to the rear face of the fixed leaf A. The free end or edge of the leaf B is provided with a, strip 7 of suitable weatherproof material. When the leaf B is extended so that its rear face is in the same plane with the rear face of the leaf A, the strip 7 will extendbelow the bottom edge of the sash 3. Suitable means 8 is provided on the rear facesof the leaves A and B for holding the leaf B in angular relation to the leaf A,-the normal position of the parts being indicated to advantage in Figures 4 and 5. Byreferring to Figure 8, it will be seen that excessive accidental upward swinging of the leaf B will be prevented by the overhanging extension or depending flange 5 of the leaf A. This means 8 preferably includes a resilient wire fixed to the leaves by means of staples 9. The wire spring 8 is preferably disposed obliquely of and on the inner sides of the leaves A and B, and the intermediate por- 4 position.
The sill 2 of the frame 1 is provided with a stop 10 of L-shaped structureand adapted to be engaged by the hinged leaf B as the sash is swung to a closed position whereby the leaf B will be moved so as to swing into a position to force the strip 7 thereon into a firm and tight engagement with the upper surface of the sill. 'When the sash is swung to an open position it will be seen that the ag l af B W 11 became diseng ged freethe stop and that the means 8 Will move the leaf B so that its strip 7 is raised from out of engagement with the sill.
It is evident that this weather stripping may be used upon doors or upon any swinging member where desired. Although I have described my invention with a certain degree of particularity, it is evident that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of par-ts may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as hereinafter claimed:
Having thus described my invention, what I '-claim as new, is:
--Ina weather strip, an upperleaf having a-"depending longitudinal flange on the outer lower corner thereof, hinges, a-flat lower lea-f having-it's upper portion attached to the lower portion of the upper leaf by said hinges so that the upper portion of the lower leaf is normally in spaced relation to and disposed inwardly of said longitudinal flange and whereby the lower leaf may swing vertically relative to the upper leaf, said flange of the upper leaf depending below the 'up'pered'ge of said lower leaf, and spring means to normally yieldingly maintain the leaves in an angular relation to each other with the lower leaf inclined outwardly, said spring means embodying a piece of resilient wire With astraight intermediate major portion eXt-ending obliquely across the inner surfaces of the leaves, said leaves having fiat inner surfaces and having ture.
