WEATHERPROOF winnow.
Application filed August 26,1326. .Serial No. 131,741.
This invention relates to a window constructedto prevent the entrance of wind, dust and rain.
A primary object of the invention is to construct a window with sealing means at the meeting points of the sash and at the junction of the sash with the side rails of the frame.
With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination and ar rangement of parts which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a perspective View partly in section of an upper and lower window sash with this improvement shown applied.
Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the top of the lower sash.
Fig. 3 is a similar View of the lower portion of the upper sash.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view taken from the bottom of the lower rail of the upper sash.
Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken on the line 5--5 of Fig. 1.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
This invention contemplates in the construction of such a protector for windows of the sliding sash type, the provision of a cap plate 10 to be located on the upper face of the top rail of the lower sash to overlap the joint between the sash rendering the window windproof when closed; another cap plate 20 on the lower face of the bottom rail of the upper sash which underlaps the lower face of the top rail of the lower sash and carries a strip 21 fitting in the joint between the meeting rails and providing what may be termed a reinforcing shoe for breaking the air.
In carrying this invention into effect, it is proposed to mount it on a sliding sash window, the frame of which is shown at 1 and includes side rails 2 equipped with the usual stops 3. Slidable in frame 1 is the lower sash 4 which includes stiles 5 and a top rail 6 on which the protector or cap plate 10 is mounted.
The upper sash also slides in frame 1 and includes stiles 8 and a bottom rail 9 on the lower face of which rail the air break reinforcing shoe 20 is secured.
In that connection, it is to be noted that one of the distinctive features of this invention resides in so mounting the protector or shoe 20 that it may be speedily re moved, and applied and when applied is securely held and yet quickly and easily released.-
The cap plate 10 shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5 is preferably made fiat and ofa length corresponding to-the length of the top rail 6 of the sash 4 or slightly longer than said rail, the ends of said plate being cut out as shown at 11 to fit the ribs on the inner faces of the side rails 2 of the window frame. The inner corners of this plate are notched as shown at 12 to fit around the stiles 8 of the upper sash. This plate 10 projects at its rear edge beyond the rear face of the upper rail 6 of the sash 4 to form an overlapping lip 13 designed to fit between thestiles 8 of sash 7 and to overlap'the lower rail 9 thereof to protect the'join tbetween the meeting rails of the two sashes. Midway therear edge of the lip 13 is formed a notch 14 designed to I slid-ably engage the center rib or partition 8" of theupper sash. This plate 10 may be constructed of any'suitable metal or other materials and has positioned between it and the rail 6 to which it is secured a layer of felt 15 or other suitable material to insure an air and dustproof connection between the meeting rails of the sash. The longitudinal edges of the plate 10 is turned down over the edges of said layer of felt.
The protecting shoe or reinforcement 20 which is detachably mounted on the lower face of the lower rail 9 of the upper sash 7 is made T-shape in cross section as shown clearly in Fig. 5, being in the form of a plate folded midway the width thereof to provide a rib-like member 21 designed to be inserted between the meeting faces of the rails 6 and 9 of the lower and upper sash. This plate 20 has a forwardly projecting lip 22 designed to overlie the lower face of the rail 6 of sash 4, while the body portion of the plate is provided with a pulrality of longitudinally disposed slots 28 for the passage therethrough of screw-eyes 24 to secure the plate to the lower face of rail 9 as shown clearly in Figs. 4 and 5. These screw-eyes are first placed in the rails and the plate is applied thereto by turning the eyes so that the slots 23 will slip over said eyes and when the plate is properly adjusted, these screw-eyes are turned so as to be arranged transversely of the slots and thus securely hold the plate in position and yet effectively excluded at this point.
permit it to bereadily removed when desired.
The projecting lip 22 of the plate 20 is provided midway its length with a notch 22 designed to slidably engage the intermediate rib of the lower sash 4.
It will thus be seen that when thecap,
