PETER MICHIELS, OF ORLANI) PARK, ILLINOIS CASEMENT wmnow I Application filed May 31,

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in building constructions and more particularly to a novel casement window, which has as its principal object, the provision of means whereby the window is made substantially weather-proof.

Another salient object of the invention is to provide a easement window constructed without the use of weather strips or other forms 1 of weather-proofing, yet in use will preclude the entrance of water from the exterior to the interior of a building, due to its special integral construction.

A further object of the invention is to provide a casement'window structure provided with drain means whereby any seepage of water will be immediately carried ofi.

These and other numerous and important objects of the invention will become more apparent to the reader, after consideringthe invention as described and claimed hereinafter.

In the drawing Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the improved casement window looking at the same from the outside.

Fig. 2 represents a downward sectional view through the window, taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it will be seen that the present invention includes a substantially square frame comprising theheader 5 and sill 6 with the stiles 77 connecting the ends thereof in the manner clearly shown in Fig. 3. A cross bar 8 is closely spaced from the header 5 and connects the stiles 7-7.

A transom sash frame of rectangular shape and denoted by the numeral 9 is hingedly connected to the cross bar 8-by hinges 10. -The top rail of the transom is beveled for snug engagement against the oblique surface 11 of the frame rail.5. A

- As is clearly shown in Fig. 2, the vertical rails of the transom sash frame are grooved longitudinally as at 12 to receive the rounded longitudinal edges of the ribs 13 suitably secured to the stiles 77 in the manner clearly shown in Fig. 2. v

The sash 9 has a pane 14 suitably mounted therein, while between the-cross bar 8 and the sill 6 of the window frame, are the hinged sashes l5 and 16. Each of the sashes is adapt ed to have one longitudinal edge hingedly connected to one of the stiles 7 by hinges 17. The hinged edge of each sash is provided with a lon 'tudinally' extending beading 18 which is a apted to seat in the groove 19 of the corresponding stile, when the sash is in closed position.

The astragal provides a longitudinal groove in the abutting edge of one sash'with the abutting edge of the complementary sash curved transversely and adapted to tensionally bind in the groove of the complementary sash when the sashes are disposed in closed position, in the manner fragmentarily shown in Fig. 5.

As is clearly shown in Fig. 7, a stool 24 is provided at the inside of the frame and upon the upper edge portion of the inclined sill 6, while a jamb 25 seats upon the sill 6 and also restssnugly against the inner edge of v the stool 24, as is shown in Fig. 8. The j amb 25 has an inclined top surface providedwith a longitudinally extending groove 26 for receiving any water that may seep between the sashes and the jamb.

An opening 27 leading downwardlythrough the jamb from the groove 26 will convey any water from the groove to the drain duct 28 extending inclinedly and transversely through the jamb 25 to the outside of the window frame; A pivotal cover plate 29 is provided for the outer end of the duct 28.

,The lower edges of the sashes 15 and 16 merge into an integral water nose 30 which overlap the jamb 25 in the manner shown in Fig. 7. The sash 16 has its grooved vertical upright enlarged as at 21 and this enlarged portion extends down integral with the water nose so that the end portion of the water nose on the sash 16is suitably cutout to overlap the adjacent end portion of the water nose on the complementary sash.

Obviously, no water can get under the nose,

but however, if by chance some does seep through the sashes and the j amb 25, the same will be caught by the groove 26 hereinbefore described. Each stile of the frame is provided with a pane of glass.

It will thus be seen that the astragal provides a water proof connection between the abutting uprights of the sashes 15 and 16,

while the hinged uprights of the sashes are protected against the entrance of water by the beading 18 engaging in the groove 19. The jamb 25 taken in conjunction with the water groove 26 and the water nose 30, will prevent water from entering at the bottom of the window, while the beveled top rail of each sash will bind against the inclined cross bar 8 to prevent water from entering at this point.

It will thus be seen that the present invention embodies many novel features over casemerit windows such as are now in use in building constructions, and while the foregoinglescription has been in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changesin the specific shape, size, and materials may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new is A window structure comprising a frame, a sash movable in said frame, said sash bein provided with a bevelled edge portion, a jamb piece, said jamb piece being provided with a longitudinally extending shoulder, the upper portion of said jiamb piece being bevelled from its side adjacent the inner side of the windowframe to a point adjacent the shoulder, which the bevelled edge portionof the sash can bind, said bev-" elled portion of the jamb being provided with a longitudinally extending groove ad- ]acent the shoulder, said jambpiece being provided with a duct extending from the groove through the side of the jamb piece, the outer side of the window frame.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
