UNITED STATES CHARLES G. vomr, or HIGKSVILLE, NEW YORK.
WINDOW-FRAME CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed March 25, 1927. Serial No. 178,274.
This invention relates to window frames, and has especial .reference to the sill construction.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a weather'tight construction in a window frame between the sill and the side casings, to the end that air and water leakage will be prevented. and consequent rotting of the parts of the window frame.
The nature of the invention and its distinguishing features and advantages will appear when the following specification is read in connection with the'accompanying drawing, in which I Figure 1 is a sectional view through the sill of a window frame embodying the structural features of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1. H
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, it will be apparent that there has been shown one of the side casings 10 of a window frame and sill 11. The side casing 10 comprises a front stile 12, a blind stop 13, a jamb 14 and an inside stop 15. In the present instance in addition to the sill 11, there is shown a subsidiary sill 16.
The construction thus far described is one,
which has been found to be incomplete to exclude the elements of weather such as air and water from getting into the wall surrounding a window frame, after the window frame has been exposed to the elements of the weather which cause the side casings and sill to shrink apart permitting air, water and dust to get into the wall. The water and dust causes the parts to rot in time, and in the winter time cold air makes the Wall cold and therefore the temperature in the interior of the house is decreased. In accordance with thepresent invention the sill and side casings are cut to provide rabbeted joints between the sill and the side casings. The sill 11 is rabbeted as at 17 which provides a shoulder or.
raised portion 18 on the top face'of the sill; The lower end of each front stile 12 of the side casing is rabbeted as at 19 to provide a front depending shoulder or portion 20.
When the side casings 10 are associated with the sill 11, the front depending portion 20 .of
each front stile'12 will be fitted against the shoulder or raised portion 18 of the sill 11,
beted joint between the sill 11 and the front stile 12.
It is to be understood that the rabbeted joints described may be provided on either 7 one or two piece sills In the present in stance the sill is of two-piece construction. The lower end of the jamb 14 is connected with the subsidiary sill 16 by a tongue and groove connection. tongue 21 which fits'in a groove22 in the front stile 12 to provide a weather tight joint at this point.
The principal feature of the present invention is to provide a rabbeted joint between the sill, whether of one or two pieces,of a window frame, and the side casings, particularly between the front stiles respectively of the side casings and'the sill. Such construction has been found to be absolutely necessary in window frames made of wood, to keep out the elements of weather and thereby prolong the life of the window frame.
I claim:
1 A window frame including a sill and side casing members out to provide rabbeted joints between the sill and the side casings, and a second sill against'which the lower ends of said casing members abut.
2. A window frame includinga sill and side casing members, said sill rabbeted to provide a raised portion, and each of said side casing members rabbeted to provide a depending portion, the depending portion of each of the side casing members fitting against the raised. portion of the sill, and a second sill against which the lower rear faces of said casing members abut. 3. A window frame includinga sill, and side casings each having afront stile, s'aid sill rabbeted to provide a raised portion, and
each of said front stiles rabbeted to provide a depending portion, the depending portion of each of the front stiles fitting against the raised portion of the sill, and a second sill against which the lower ends of said front stiles abut.
