or mouldings adapted to be connected to.

fixed window frames.

Heretofore, a considerable part of the vwork necessary in cutting, fitting and connecting the several parts together, has been done on the ground, or, place where the mounting is required, thus entailing considerable expense both in time and labor.

The objects of the present invention include a form of construction whereby the essential parts of the mounting may be quickly cut to sizes and detachably fitted together at the factory. V

The objects also include a construction in which oppositely arranged sash members are provided with clamping faces adjustably disposed to secure glass of variable thickness. 7

Also, to provide sash members having parts of uniform cross section, including clamping means therefor adapted to be env gaged at different points along the length thereof.

Also, to provide-sash members arranged.

with perforations adapted to jointly receive connection screws and serve as air and drainage passages for said members.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof. reference is had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various features of the invention aremore particularly pointed out. I

In the drawing, Figure 1 is an exterior view shown in side elevation of a window pane, and sash mounting embodying the present invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional elevationof a pair of windows disposed one above the other, together with the supporting frames therefor.

Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmental View, partly in section, of the preferred means for clamping the sash memberstogether.

Figure 4 is a similar fragmental view showing a modified form of clamping means.

Figure 5 is a longitudinal view of one of the sash members taken along the line 55 of Fig. 8. 7

Referring to Fig. 2 of the drawing, nu-

merals 10 indicate transverse sections of the window frame, and fixed to the latter are the sash members 11 providedwith base parts 12 that engage the oppositei'nner faces of the frame, the opposite side faces thereof being engaged by the mouldings and flanges pro- JBClElDg; outwardly from the bases 12 and Which serve to fixedly position thesash members 11 to the frame. Projecting from the interior walls 11a of the sash members 11 and extending the length thereof, are web sections 13 having bearing faces which engagethe marginal edges of the glass 14 and vertically positionthe latter, the mar gmal side edges of the glass on the interior surface thereof being engaged by thebearing faces 13a projecting from the web sections 13.

The sash members 11 engage the four mari ginal edges of the glass,the ends of. the

members being mitred as indicated by the diagonal lines 15, shown in Fig. 1. V

For clamping the glass in position, movable sash members 16' are providedhaving bearingfaces 17 that engage themarginal. sideedges ojflthe glass on the exterior sure face thereof, the movable members being= supported by the base" 12-of the fixed Sash The members 16 are also promembers 11. vlded with inwardly extending web sections 18 dlsposed adjacent the web sections 13 0f the fixed sash member, the latter sections overlapping the former and serving to prevent displacement of-the movable members from the base of the fixed members.

As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the movable sash members 16 also are provided with projecting flanges 19 and 20, the 'free ends thereof resting upon the base 12 of the fixed sash members 11. These flanges extend the length of the sash members and are each provided with perforations or slots 21 adapted to receive the screws 22, the driving heads thereof engaging the walls of the inner flanges 20 to advance the movable members and effect the clamping action thereof, while the outerfianges 19 permit thereof comprise parts having a uniform cross section throughout their lengths, and in: construction, the metal used is heated top,lastic condition and forced under compression through suitably shaped dies resulting in. a finished product commonly known as extruded metal.

- In: this form the sash members may be cut to the required lengths, and the screw perforations or slots punched in the movable member 1 6 at the desired points along the lengthv thereof, the screw threads obviously beingadapted to engage the ledges of the fixed sash members at any and all such points. As thus constructed the work. of

cutting and detachably fitting the several parts together may readily be done at the factory, and then permanently reassembled in:.. the frames at the point of destination, where the glass may be inserted in the fixed sash members andi'retained therein by the movable sash members and clamp screws 22.

To 'provide for the circulation of air between the interior and exterior surfaces of the Windows, air passages or perforations 25' are formed in spaced relation through the web'- sections 13 of the fixed sash members 11 and which communicate with the perforations and slots formed inthe flanges 19- and 20 of the: movable s'ash member 16, these passages and screw perforations also serving as drainage passage for the wash water used for cleaning the windows. 7

For the accommodation. of certain situations, a modified form of screw connection is shown. in Fig. 4, in which the screw-em gaging ledges 23 are'formed in the movable clamping sash member 16*, with the body of the screw passing through the wall 11 of the fixed sash member 11, and the driving head of the screw engaging the outer surface of the wall.

I claim:

1 In a glass-n1ounting, a fixed frame, a sash member having a base engaging the inner face of said frame, and side members projecting outwardly from said base andengaging the side faces of said frame, said base havinga ledge extending lengthwise thereof and transversely shaped to engage the thread of a screw. 1

2. In a glass-mounting, a sash member having aseries o-flpartsarranged to detachably support the glass, the said parts being integral and of uniform cross throughout the length of said member, said parts including a ledge extending lengthwise thereof and transversely shaped to operatively engage the thread of a screw.

3. A sash member having a ledge extending along the length thereof, the saidledge being transversely shapedto operatively engage the thread of a screw.

4. A sash member having a plurality of ledges extendinglengthwise thereof, the said ledges being transversely shaped to operatively engage the thread of a screw.
