J. T. ZIVERT WEATHER STRIP Filed May 10, 1926 Patented Dec. 21, 1926.

UNITED STATES JOHN T. ZIVERT, OF ROXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS.

WEATHER STRIP.

Application filed May 10,

This invention relates to an improved weather strip adapted for use in association with windows and window frames for providing a weather and dust proof joint.

The invention has reference to two slightly different embodiments, one of which is adapted for disposition between the upper and lower sashes and the corresponding portions of the window frame and the other one of which is adapted for disposition between the sashes themselves in order to pro vide a. good joint at three places to exclude all dust, cold air and extraneous matter.

My principal object is to generally improve upon inventions of this class by providing one of exceeding simplicity which is very inexpensive to both the manufacturer and user, and is such in construction as to effectively serve the purpose for which it has been designed.

Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following descriptlon and drawing.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure 1 is a vertical section through a conventional form of window showing the several appliances in operative position.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention.

Figure 3 is a transverse section through the device as seen in Figure 2.

Figure 4: is a perspective view of the other embodiment of the invention, and

Figure 5 is a transverse section on the plane of the line 5-5 of Figure 4.

In the drawing, the reference character 1 designates generally the window frame, 2 represents the upper sliding sash, and 3 the lower sash. As before indicated, one form of the invention is adapted for disposition between the upper and lower sashes at the top and bottom respectively adjacent the corresponding portions of the window frame. This form of the invention is generally designated by the reference character 4 and is seen plainly in Figures 2 and 3. It simply comprises a metal strip 5 bent into channel formation, together with a packing of felt 6, suitably fastened in place. The chan- 1926. Serial No. 108,112.

neled backing member is provided at longitudinally spaced points with openings 7 to accommodate appropriate fasteners, preferably small wood screws.

The other embodiment of the invention is generally designated by the reference character S and here again we find a channel shaped metallic packing member 9 in which a strip of felt 10 is appropriately fastened. It will be noticed, however, that attaching ears 10 are struck out from the cent 'al portion of the backing member and additional attaching ears 11 of a slightly different design are struck out from the end portions. Moreover, the felt is constructed to extend beneath the last named attaching ears 11v as at 12.

It is plain to be seen that when all three of the weather strips are in place, an ellicient joint is provided at the several points indicated, thus excluding cold air, beating rain, and dust.

No doubt, by considering the description in connection with the drawings, persons familiar with devices of this class will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the same. For this reason a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is As anew article of manufacture,a weather strip adapted for disposition between adja' cent portions of a pair of sliding window sashes comprising a metallic backing member of channel shaped cross section provided at longitudinally spaced points with openings for passage of appropriate fasteniugs, a plurality of apertured attaching ears struck out from the central portion of the backing member and extending at right angles thereto, and additional apertured attaching ears struck out from the end portions of the back member, a strip of felt fitted between the side portions of the channel member and having its outer edge projecting beyond with the corresponding edges of said side portions, the end portions of the felt being provided with extensions adapted to underlie the end attaching ears.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JOHN T. ZIVERT.
