WINDOW.
Application led June 8, 1927. Serial No. 197,423.
This invention relates to windows ofthe `conventional type in dwellings, office build` ings and the like, and its main object is to provide a novel Vinstallation whereby the usual counterweight chambers in the window frame are eliminated.` y
A further objectof the inventionis to so construct the novel window that its counter- Weight apparatus will be readily accessible for inspection, repair or replacement. A still further object of the ,invention is torencase the counterweight` apparatus in a novel manner, so as tofully conceal the same and lend the window a neat appearance.
Another object of the novel window is to make access to its counterweight apparatus so handy that the average person will find it an easy matter to attend to a repair or replacement in the eventof an emergency.
A final but nevertheless important object of the invention is to construct the novel window of few and` simple parts, whereby the cost of its production and installation may compare favorably with figures applying to prevailing types of windows.
With the above objects in view and any others that may suggest themselves from the specification and claims to follow,` a better understanding of the invention may be gained by reference to the accompanying` drawing, in which:
Figure l is a perspective view of a fragment of the installation, partly cut away;
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the counterweight suspension; and
Fig. 3 is an elevation of one of the window sashes in full-y elevated position.
In window frames of the prevailing type, the counterweight apparatus is housed in compartments made in the frame jambs, and when a weight jams or the sash cord breaks, `it is necessary to remove the window stops and then the jamb-panels for access to the defective art. This work entails more or less diilicu ty and usually requires the services of a carpenter.
In designing the invention to relieve the above condition, I use la window frame of standard construction, except that it need not have the internal'counterweight compartments in its jambs. Instead, I incorporate the counterweight apparatus in the region of the Stiles of the window sashes. Thus,
in the illustration of the sash 5 the stile 6 is only solid in part, being supplemented by a box casing 7 of metal which is adapted to slida-bly'lit the sash groove in the frame` in the manner of the ordinary sash. In alinement with the sash casing 7-which is secured to the sash by screws 8 or other suitable means-'wis a tubular shaft 9, which depends from the top rails of the window frame 10 to a point somewhat below the middle of.
the window. The shaft 9 is similar in form `to the casing 7-that s, `rectangular--and is;
dimensioned to smoothly telescope into the same. Thus, the case of theinner sash as closed) (Fig. 1) the casing and the shaft Vwill be relatively extended as shown, while 16 for suspension from a hook 17 secured in the top rail of the frame. In order that the attaching plate 12 and the cord 13 may clear the shaft,` the inner wall of the latter is parted-as shown at 18throughout its entire length.
It will now be seen that an installation is hadwhich completely conceals the counterweight apparatus at all times to those who approach the window from within or without. Yet, when anything is wrong with the same, the corresponding shaft 9 may be quickly lowered by removing the two top screws 11, exposing the defective part-or parts for handy removal, repair or replace nient. y The improvement requires no radical departure in the designv Vof windows and frames therefor; and whatexpense may be added for the sashes is easily compensated by the simplicity of the window frame for the present purpose.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in preferred form, I am aware that it is` capable of many minor changes and refinements, and I therefore wish to claim all i such changes and refinements as cominor within the scope and spirit of the appended el aims,
I claim:- Y
l. A window installation comprising a frame, a sash movable therein, casings incorporated in the side edges of the sash, and shafts in the iframe and teleseoped by the easings during the movement of the sash, said shafts having longitudinal slots extending Jtheir entire length and toward the sash, coun terweights movable Within said teleseoping parts, pulleys at the top of said frame, Cords trained over said pulleys and connecting the sash and Weight'.
2. A window installation comprising a frame, a. sash movable therein, Casings ineor porated in the side edges of the sash, and Shafts secured in the top ol the frame and depending in teleseoping alinement with said easings. said Shafts being teleseo'ped by the easings during the movement of the sash` counterweights connected by cords with said .Ltash and trained over pulleys arranged at the top of the frame. said shafts having an open slot longicudinall)v of the side thereof adjacent the saSh. Said weighs being movable within Said telescoping paris.
3. A window installation eompriaing a frame, a .Cash movable therein, tubular easinge` neared to the Sides ol' the sash, tubular sha Y sea'ured to thotop ofthe frame and teleseopiealiy rezxrivable in said easingfs, pulleys` secured to the top of the lranie. munter- Weights connected with the sash by cords trained over said pulleys, Said pullevn` cords and counlerweighs being emll'inuoul'lvhouaed within said lelescoping parte.
A winrilinv installation eolnprifsing a frame. a Sash movable therein, tubular Casings Secured to the sides olt the sash1 tubular shafts secured to the top of the frame and Lelearopieallv receivable in aaid easing, liulleys favoured lo the top of the iframe. counteruieiglie eonueeed willi the aaah h v eords: trained over said pulleya.
