Description

i was. 1,732,709 ADJUSTER-FOR SWING CASEMENTS) AND THE LIKE Filed Feb. 24- L93? Patented Oct. 22, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BERT E. DARTHOLOMEW, OF PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR TO CONSOLIDATED HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS, INCORPORATED, 015 PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, A
CORPORATION OF CALIFORNIA ADJUSTER FOR SWING CASEMENTS AND THE LIKE Application filed February 24, 1927. Serial No. 170,638.
This invention relates to adjusters for swinging easements, transoms or the like, and it is an object of my invention to provide a device which may be attached to a sill or other stationary point adjacent the swinging casement, and which is attachable to the casement itself and permits of swinging motion of the casement. The rattling and banging of swinging easements such as shutters or blinds during a wind storm is familiar to everyone, and it is an object of my invention to remedy this by providing a casement adjuster that will permit the easement to be left completely en without the occupants of the residence eing disturbed by such noises.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is strong and durable in its construction and which operates efiiciently, and which is well adapted to perform the services required of the same.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will be made manifest in the following detailed description and specifically pointed out in the appended claim, reference is had to the accompanying drawings for an illustrative embodiment of the invention, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view of my casement adjuster showing the same attached to the sill of a window and to the easement.
Figure 2 is a side view taken along the lines 2-2 of Figure 1 showing the easement in closed position.
Figure 3 is a sectional view similar to the showing in Figure 2, showing the easement completely open, and
Figure 4 is a plan view of one element of my device, which element is in the form of a plate, and is provided so that my casement adjuster may be attached to easements having different sized jambs.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, the reference numeral 1 designates a swinging casement such as a window, which has a bottom frame piece 2, moulding 3 and pane 4. The device is shown as being hinged for swinging movement in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the pane. The sill of the window is designated at 5, and a slot 5 extends through the sill, and it is this slot that my adjuster may be disposed.
My adjuster comprises in combination an angle bracket deslgnated atv 6, having a vertical flange 7 and a horizontal flan e 8. Both of these flanges are apertured, and the flange 7 is adapted to receive suitable woodscrews 9 or nails. Bolted to the flange 8 is the flat structure shown in Figure 4 and designated at 10. This plate 10 is provided with an elongated slot 11, and it is through this slot that the same is bolted to the flange 8. A plurality of apertures 12 are formed in one end of the plate, and suitable woodscrews 13 serve to bolt the plate to the sill or jamb on the bottom of the slot. An aperture 14: is formed at the other end of the plate and a small upstanding lug 15 is pivoted through this aperture to the plate. The lug is apertured as at 16 and receives one end of the actual operative casement adjuster. The casement adjuster consists of a barrel 17 having an open end 18 interiorly threaded as at 19. A second barrel having its external surface threaded is threadedly mounted within the barrel 17. This second barrel isdesigated at 20, and it similarly is open-ended and threaded as at 21. Threadedly mounted within the barrel 20 is a bolt 22 having an eyelet at 23, which eyelet is pivotally attached to a bracket 24 on the casement. The threads on the exterior surface of the barrel 2() and the bolt 22 may be similar. may be both right-handed threads or both left-handed threads, or one right and the other a left-handed thread and they may be of the same or of different pitch. The lug 15 acts as a pivoted journal, and a shank 25 is formed on the barrel 17 and extends through the journal in the lug 15. A plurality of spacing collars 26 may be inserted on the shank 25 so that a proper adjustment of the adjuster is insured. The shank 25 is provided with a square bore therethrough, adapted to receive a crank 30 having a square shank thereon.
The operation of my device is as follows. The device may be attached to the jamb and to the easement at any point whatsoever, providing of course, the points chosen are oper- That is, they ativepoints. However, in actual practice I have found that the most suitable points are 7 inches from the stafi mould on the casing,
and an opposing point 7 inches out on the sill. The bracket 6 is mounted at this last mentioned point, and the device is. assembled on the same. The bracket 24 is rigid with the frame 2 and does not permit turning of the bolt. When the crank is inserted in the square bore and the shank 25 is rotated, the bolt 22 will move outwardly from the barrel 20, pushing ahead of it the bracket 24 and the casing. Cessation of rotation of the handle willinstantly cause the casement to stop. and the threads on the bolt and on the barrel are of such pitch that they can not be operated as a worm, and considerable backward pressure may be applied to the casement and the adjustment of parts will remain the same. When the bolt has reached the end ofitspath in the barrel as shown in Figure 3, the head of the same will abut against the annular flange in the barrel 20, and as the barrel 17 continues to rotate, the barrel 20 will move outwardly from the barrel 17 and the casement will move outwardly still further. Reversal of this operation closes the casement.
My device may conveniently be constructed of brass, or in fact, of any suitable material, and has a width of approximately 7 4; inches, which is a standard width of jamb. When the jambis not a standard jamb, the device may still be'employed by means of the plate 10 above described. I have shown an adjustment of this plate in Figure 3. If desired however, the plate maybe omitted and the casement adjustermay be applied directly to the bracket on the sill. It is to be noted then, that my invention is extremely simple in its operation and operates efliciently. The conventionaljtype of casement adjuster now on the market consists of two pieces-one a bracket adapted to be mounted on the jamb, and the other apivoted rod on the casement. This rod has a projection on the end of the same, and is adapted ,to be selectively introduced into various spaced apertures in the bracket. This type of device is widely used in' the commercial world and is familiar to all manufacturers of easements and to the general public. My device is a decided improvement over this style casement adjuster, as very often when the casement sets after a few months of service, or when the same becomes slightly warped due to the exposure to the weather, the apertures do not line up with the pivoted rod and a readjustment of these parts is necessary. Also, the rods become through the slot so that one will not have to open the window to get at the blind.
I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not desire to limit myself to the use of my casement adjuster as above shown and described. All manner of swinging doors, transoms and the like may be adjusted by modifying certain operative parts of the combination set forth above, to adapt themselves to the particular use for which they are designed. Only in so far as I point out my invention and particularly claim the same, do I desire to be limited thereby.
It will be understood that various changes in the detail of construction may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined by the appended claim.
I claim:
The combination with a j amb having a slot therethrough and a casement, of a bracket attachable to said jamb beneath said slot, an adjustable plate mounted on said bracket, a lug pivoted to said plate, a barrel mounted for rotation in said lug, said barrel being threaded internally, a second barrel threaded externally with threads receivable in said first mentioned barrel, said second barrel being threaded interiorly, a threaded bolt threadedly mounted in said second mentioned barrel, said bolt having an eyelet therein and a bracket mounted on said casement adapted to maintain said pin in pivoted relationship with said casement, and means on the end of said first mentioned barrel to rotate the same, whereby said second mentioned barrel and said pin will be outwardly extended from said first mentioned barrel.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
