These f guides have upstanding portions 26 and horifzontal portions 27, thejedges oi which are S bent toward thesill-lO and lintel respecttivel'y so astopartially enclose the upstanding flange 29 on the shoes' 24. The upstanding flanges 29 on the shoes2l are recessed as ,indicatedat 30 upon Fig. 6 and these recesses containlea fspi ings .31 which heanagainstf the upstanding portions 26 on the guides 25 thus forming a good sfrictional engagement between the shoes 2 L j and the guides 25,

although the shoes -24;may bef caused to .slide ii laterally upon'the guides 25. The; lateral movement of the 'shoes' 24jon the guides 25' causes the sash 1e;t0 -11ave-a 'shiftable or movable pivot by" virtue ot-the fact that the sash While the .Lconstruction of the guides 25, and;

These shoes are similar inconstruction to the shoes24andare latleaving the sash in 'openposition-and tria 1 "tion'ally" held in; such position by virtue' of the springs 31j pressing against the guidesi25 erally r'nova'bleupon guides42'which are simlilar in' construction to the guides 25 with their inner edges recessed in the 'j amb' strips 43 V which are fastened to the sill '1 0fand xthe lintel 18."

Links 45 are pivotally connected to the guides 4-2-and' to the angle irons 38', these links being somewhat longer than the links 3 2. By this construction it Will be appreciated that the. screen-33 is i also provided with a shiftahle or movable pivot.

The shank'is provided with a laterally ,exteiiding lug 49 which isreceivahle' in the slot 50 a 'keeper-5l-mounted' on the jamb .11 over a recess formed therein. When the shank 47 by the handle, the lug can be caused the stile 36 as indicated at '53 with one end of to enter .thekeeper locking'the screen in J closed position. A-latch .52, which is prefer- Y g ably spring actuated is pivotally mounted in the latch extending inwardly througli'a slot i isprovidedwithathuinblplate 54. The other end of the latch extends outwardly, through in the top of themounting plateilfi where it v the opposite sidelof the fstile fii arid'isiprovided at its outer end with a hook which has a rounded nose. On the inner side of the stile 19 onthesash there is mounted a keeper which is U-shaped in{ form having parallel arms 56 and 57; This keeperis preferably formed of resilient materialsuch as spring steel or the like and has one endsecuredto the stile l9. I A screw 58 extends through the ends of both arms and into the stile and on rotating the screw the screw can-becaused'to positionv the arm 57 with respect tothe stile;

Theoperationtand advantages of the improved combined sash and screen mounting areasfollows: Assumingthe s'ash'and screen i to be inthe'closed position shownin Fig; 3 if it is desired to open the sash the shank 4LT is rotated to move the lug 4E9 out'of the keeper and the screen can then xloepushed open.

a From the above described construction it of the pane the person washing, the window merely reaches through the opening left betwen the sill 18 and the jamb 12 as shown in will be appreciatedthat a novel and advantageous combined sash and screen mounting provided whichis of simple, yet durable construction and which enables a window :rnountedmin the frame, an inner 1 means permittin the closure and screen to be disconnected irom each other.
