Description

J 7, 1927' R. H. SHELTON I WINDOW SASH HOLDER Filed Aug. 19, 1925 Patented June 7, 1927.
UNITED STATES.
ROBERT'H. SHELTON, OF DUR ANT, OKLAHOMA.
WINDOW-SASH HOLDER.
Application filed August 19, 1925. Serial No. 51,181.
The present invention relates to a combined sash holder and latch, the primary object of the invention being to provide a de vice for latching a window sash in various positions of adjustment, the latching device being such as to support the window, eliminating the use of window weights and cords.
An important object of the invention is to provide a device ofthis character which will set up a binding action between the window sash and its frame, reducing the strain directed to the locking device to the minimum.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of adevice which maybe readily and easily applied to window constructions, by persons unfamiliar with mechanics.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating a window as supplied with a holding and latching device constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is an elevational view of the keeper forming a part of the invention.
Figure 3 is an elevational view illustrating a modified form of keeper.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates a window frame in which the sash 6 moves, the sash 6 being of the sliding type and movable in guideways formed in the frame.
The fastener and latching device forming the essence of the invention embodies a bracket member 7 which is provided with an opening to accommodate one end of the rod 8 which as shown is relatively long and is mounted in the bracket in such a way asto permit the same to swing with respect thereto.
The reference character 9 indicates the keeper that is carried by the window sash and which embodies a shank 10 formed with a head 11 that fits within an opening provided in the plate 12, the shank 10 being herein dislosed, may be made mounted to pivot within the opening. An opening is also the reception of the rod 8, there being provided threads 13 at the outer end of the shank 10 for the reception of the winged nut l t-that may be screwed down to engage the rod and hold the rod against movement with respect to the keeper.
As illustrated by Figure 3, the keeper is especially designed for use in connection with wooden frames, and embodies a shank 15 formed with a right angled lower end 16 having an opening to receive the screw 17 to hold the keeper to the window frame.
In this form of the invention, the rod which is indicated at 18 operates through an opening at the base of the threaded portion of the shank 16 and is engaged by the winged nut 19 to set up a binding action between the rod and its opening to prevent movement thereof.
From the foregoing it will be seen that when the winged nut has been moved to set up the binding action as described, the weight of the window will cause the window to move laterally, setting up a binding action between one edge of the window sash and the guideway in which it moves, in a manner as shown by Figure 1 of the drawing, to the end that this binding action will act to restrict movement of the window sash and transfer to a degree, the weight of the window sash, from the keeper and securing device,'to the edge of the window sash.
I claim In combination with a sliding window sash, and the frame in which the sash operates, a bracket member secured to the window frame, a rod pivotally mounted in the bracket, a plate having an opening, secured to the lower rail of the sash, a shank having a head positioned in the opening of the plate and adapted to pivot with respect to the plate, said shank having an opening extending transversely therethrough, and having a threaded portion adjacent to the opening, said rod adapted to pass through the opening of the shank, and a winged nut on the threaded portion of the shank to engage the rod to clamp the rod to the shank.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature.
ROBERT H. SHELTON.
