W. J. DECKER CURTAIN WINDOW Filed August 1920 Patented Jan. 5, 1 926.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM J'. DECKER, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO DECKER MANUFACTUR- ING COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE.
CURTAIN WINDOW.
Application filed August 30, 1920. Serial No. 406,845.
Toall whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, lVILLiAM J. DECKER,
a citizen of theUnited States, and residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Curtain Window, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to windows especially adapted for the curtains of motor vehicles, and its object is to provide a window of this character wherein all parts of the sash or frame shall be entirely concealed by the fabric, and in which the fabric shall be flat excepting just at the glass panel where the fabric has a slight roll. 7
This invention consists in two rigid members secured together to form a sash, one of the members being called the sash frame and the other the sash ring, the frame being formed with an internal recess to receive the glass panel, and two fabric sheets which are normally parallel to each other and WlllCll are both outside of the sash and which are formed with registering openings, the material of the two sheets just around the openings being turned inwardly and then back, the edge of one sheet being secured in the recess in the frame and the edge of the other being secured between the two sash members.
It also consists in forming the sash ring with a series of struck-up fingers by means of which this ring may be attached to the inturned edge of the adjacent sheet.
It further consists in the details of con struction illustrated in the accompanying drawings and particularlypointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. l is an elevation of a portion of a vehicle curtain provided with one of my improved windows. Figs. 2 and 3 are sections on the lines 22 and 3--3 ofFig. 1 on larger scales.
Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.
The sash shown in the drawing is made up of a frame member 1, which may be of any desired material and is provided with a recess 2 along its inner edge to receive the edge of the glass panel 3. A ring 4 of metal is secured to the frame 1 in any desired manner, screws '5 being shown, to hold the glass in position.
The curtain proper is formed of two shown) fabric sheets (3 and 7 which are normally parallel to each other, being connected at their outer edges in the usual manner (not These sheets are formed with registering openings and the fabric of sheet 6 is turned in and then back until its inner edge 8 is in the recess 2 where it may be secured in any desired manner, small nails or tacks 9 being shown.
The ring 4 is formed with struck up tongues 10 which pierce the inner turned back edge 11 of the fabric sheet 7 and are then bent down to attach the ring to the fabric. Fabric sheet 7 is gathered into a ball in the opening in the sash ring 4 until the screws 5 are put in to secure the ring to the frame 1, after which this fabric sheet is smoothed down and its outer edge is attached to the outer edge of the sheet 6. When the curtain thus built up is stretched in place, no part of the sash is visible, nor
,is there any projection, bead or rib to indicate the width of the sash. The fabric sheets contact with the edges of the glass panel and extend outwardly therefrom substantially parallel to each other. The fabrics are attached to the sash on the inner sides of the two members which compose the sash and the points of attachment are therefore entirely concealed.
The cross section of the sash members, the shape and proportions of the sash opening and the other details may all be changed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the following claims.
I claim 1. In combination, a glass panel, a sash frame extending around the glass panel and having a recess in one side to receive the glass, a fabric sheet having an opening and having its inner edge folded around the side of the frame opposite the glass panel and back upon itself around the opening with its edge extending into the recess in the sash adjacent the glass, a second fabric sheet having an opening registering with the first and being turned back upon itself around the opening, a metalring interposed between the turned-back portion and the rest of the second sheet and formed with fingers to engage said turned-back portion, and screws. to secure the ring to the frame with the turned-back portion of the second fabric sheet between the frame and the ring, the
two fabric sheets extending substantially parallel to each other from the glass panel and entirely enclosing the sash.
2. In combination, two fabric sheets having registering openings and having the edges surrounding the openings turned inwardly and backwardly, a sash comprising a frame and a ring between said fabric sheets, the frame being formed with a recess to receive a glass panel, one of said fabric members being attached to the frame within the recess and the other to the ring on its inner side, said fabric sheets extending substan tially parallel to each other from said openings and on the outer sides of the sash which is entirely enclosed thereby.
8. In combination, a glass panel, a sash frame extending around the glass panel and having a recess along the inner edge of its inner side to receive the glass panel, a metal ring secured to the frame to hold the glass in position, a fabric sheet having an opening and lying flat against the outer side of the ring and turned inwardly and back on itself to extend between the frame and the ring, and asecond fabric sheet also formed with an opening and lying flat against the outer side of the frame and turned inwardly and back upon itself to extend into the recess.
4. In combination, a glass panel, a sash frame extending around the glass panel and having a recess along the inner edge of its inner side to receive the glass panel, a metal ring secured to the frame to hold the glass in position, a fabric sheet having an opening and lying flat against the outer side of the ring and turned inwardly and back on itself to extend between the frame and the ring, and a second fabric sheet also formed with an opening and lying flat against the outer side of the frame and turned inwardly and back upon itself to extend into the recess, said ring being formed with fingers to secure it to the first fabric sheet.
In combination, two substantially parallel fabric sheets having registering openings and having the edges surrounding the openings turned inwardly and backwardly, a glass panel between the inturned edges of the two sheets, a sash comprising a 1* and a ring positioned between the fabric sheets, each sash member being secured to one of the sheets, and means to attach the ring to the frame member.
6. In combination, two substantially parallel fabric sheets having registering openings and having the edges surrounding the openings turned inwardly and backwardly, a glass panel between the inturned edges of the two sheets, a sash comprising a frame and a ring positioned between the fabric sheets, each sash member being secured to one of the sheets, and means to attach the ring to the frame member, said ring being of sheet metal with struck-up lingers piercing the adjacent inturned edge of one of the fabric sheets which fingers are bent down onto the ring to unite it to said sheet.
7. The combination with the curtain fabic and the lining fabric forming the covering of an auto top of a two-piece window frame adapted to be secured one to each fabric section and concealed therebetween, a window secured between the frame sections and the fabric sections and means for securing the frame sections together.
