REVOLVING WINDOW SASH.

Application filed April 6,

1928. Serial No. 267,923.

y present ention has reference to a pocket is covered when the trainer in set in :1;

window construction, and my object is the provision oi a eenii-circuhir win dow having arranged :tor turning: therein a circular such, whereby the said sash may be turned to open part or all oil. the window casing.

A further object the provision of a window constructimi which includce a eafing' having a semicircular ruoper portionv and a pocket depending from said upper portion, a circular sash mounted in the casin for turning thereii'i together with means; for exerting a frictional engagement againnt the cash to prevent the tree turning thereof,

means for turning the saeh and means for loclzu'ig the each. to the casing when. in closed pool ti on.

The invention will be fully and comprellei'isively undo 'etood from a consideration oi? the 'ioliowiinr detailed description when read in. connection. with the acconnianying drawings which. torzn part of the application, with the mideretainling, however, that the improvement is capable of ext-ended apilication and is not confined to the exact Hhowing oi the drowinge nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modifications n'iay be made theret'roni as do not affect the spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claim.

Figure 7 is an elevation illustrating a tturther modification. v

eferring now tothe drawings and to Figure 1. in particular, a window (frame is broadly indicated by the numeral 1. This frame has on upper semi-circular portion 2 and a lower substantially rectangular portion 3, the latter aitording a pocket. The triin for the cncular portion of the casting is indicated. in Figures 1 and. 2 by the nuineral 1, the sill by the numeral 5 and the stool by the numeral 6. Of course the to Figure 1 but building and like-wine, oi course. the semicirculor top portion of the frame is; arrans g'ed in an opening through the imildingij.

The oeini-circidar portion of thei rmne provided with inner and outer Stlll rClltilllitlj' strips '7, respectively. and between those etrips there is arranged the cylindrical eueh frame 8. In the showing ot Figure 1. the

sash frame 8 is centrally divided by a strip 9, and between this Strip and one-lnilt': oi? the frame there is a transparent plate 10 end also between this strip and the second hull of the frame there is a mesh 11. The inner side lnei'nbcre provided by the pocket 3 ot the Frame 1 have fixed thereon brackets 12 for frictional. wheels 13 that cont-int with the periphery oi the oath frame 8. The sash frame is; provided with an. operating); element 1 'lhere are, oi course. euitabio latching means between the each train. and the cylindrical porti on of the window :ira ne or its casing it. The friction wheels 13 eii ectivcly support the Sash frame in the caeing and it. will be apparent that by graepingthe element 1.4.- the frame can he turned to bring either its transparent face 10 or its mesh face 11 into or partly into the semi-circular portion. of the frame. By this means both light and ventilation may be obtained to a room in which the device is arranged and also by this arrzlngcinont the entrance of insects to the room is proreuitcd.

In Figures 3 and 4-. the pocket of the frame is indicated by the numeral 15 and. the eeniicircular top thereof by the numeral 16. The

window sill indicated by the numeral 17,

and the, trim by the nun'ieral 18. 1 0t: course, the trim is only arranged around the semicircular top of the WlIJdOW frame and the lower portion of the fro-inc provides a pocket.

In this instance the sill 17 is provided with one or more brackets 19 for a pivot 20 that pass through the lower or straight rail 23 oi? the semi-circular sash carrying frame Also in this instance the operating eloniei'lt tor the cash 24 is revoluble and actuatcs a toothed wheel 25 to bring a spring influenced dog or latch 26 out of a keeper in the window frame. The cash :traino itehould be stated is held from side movement by inner and outer arched strips 27 arranged. in the arched portion of the window frame. It will be obvious that by turning the operat; ing element 28 the bolt or latch will be brought out of its keeper, which permits oii :thesash being turned in the window frame or easing so thetthe sash may partly or whollyuneever the upper portion of the Window casing.

. In Figures 4, 5 and 6 there is illustrated a still further modification. In this instance the upper portion oft-he w ndow frame or i easing is indieatedby thenumerel 29; and the lower portion or pocket therefor by the numeral 30. Fixed 1n thispoeke; there are braekets that have 'ourneled thereon friel tion wheels l end 325"espectively. The

circular sash carrying Ira i e travels besween stirps33in the erohed portion of the frame oreasing end in this nstance the rrame proper is indicated by the numeral is'of semi-cylindricalformation. but

.seenthat' the centrelportion ofthe treek is arched. This is for die reception of an open ating cord or cable 36, end the said cable being:

wound around. the grooved friction wheel 1 Also in this instaneerthe ;friotionwheel 32 has secured in'its huh ssheft 3Z'thai: has :in

outer removable operatinghandle 38. Ohvlously by turning the handle 38 the sash 3% muy be turned to bring lts glass to cover the e s'eniieirouler'or ure opening in t= 1 tion of the window easing or to uncover pe-rtly uncover this openinpz Also by this construction the; frietron wheels prevent lhe free turning of the sash. Also, obviously the sash maybe-centrally pivoted, us disclosed by-Figures'Q and 8' and hiiehingmeans "between" the sash and c-us *g 40 tures similier to thee disclosed by Figures vided, r p p I I In Flgure 7 I have shown two sash struclend 5. These sash members areindieated for distinetionby the numerelfs and 10 and 1 are eeolr provided with semi-circular truck extensions Q1 51 161 42, whiehnre centrelly depressedor grooved. The outer periphery of each o'f;tl1e sashes 1s likewise depressed or grooved. The lower periphery of the tracks and the sashes 2-39 and are contented by friction wheels. The outer frietion wheels are indicated for distinction by the numerals H and and the inner frietion wheels by the numerals and 47. These frietion wheels hove peripheral grooves and there is trained uround the said wheels and trained through the grooves in the tracks and in the sashes an ondlcse operating cable 18. This cable is wound around the groove in the friction whccl Iii and the said friction wheel has its shall if) provided with a. removable operating); handle 50. By turning; the handic bolh oi the sl will be turned in unison.

Qbvieusiy the tracks nil'uchcd lo lhc sashes and Forming parts thereof provide. with tho sashes substantially circular members and will be so referred to in the uppcndcd claim.

The construction or my improved window and operating means rhci'el' r will. if is thought. be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the [H'il to which the invention relates so that furthedelailcd description will not be re iuired.

Having: dcserihe the. invention, l. claim: A. window eonsirncl'ion mnnprising :1 casin having e semi-cylind1'ical (awning through th upper portion thereof and a pochctbelow said o wning a. semiwyliiulricalsush arranged in the casing. means in the casing: for preventing ihc lateral movemnt of the sash thercin, a. semi-cylinhical grooved truck scoured lo and extending 'ironi the ends of lhe sash, braclni's on the side wulls provid d by the pockets. groovcd aniifrictional wheels journalcd in the brackets and con. :l'ingr with the p riphcry of the sash or \Vli'li the track, uu operating cable wound around the sinh. truck and one o l lllC "friction wheels. and an operating handle romovzibly secured to lhe sash Oii the said trim tion wheel.
