Referring to the drawing 10 represents a side wall of a building provided with a glazing construction comprising stationary glass panes 12 and movable glass panes 13 of glazing units embodying the present invention and shown as two in number.
Each glazing-unit embodying the present invention comprises a glass carrying frame 14 and an open supporting frame 15 in which i "The open supporting frame 15 shown separately in Figs. 4: and 5is constructed so asto enable it to replace a stationary glass pane'12 withoutchangingthe construction of the sash or framework to which the stationary glass pane 12 is secured.
. The open supporting frame 15 is also construeted so as to enable the "glass-carrying frame ll to be mounted therein and to be moved with relation thereto when it is desired to ventilate the building through the side wall. f i
The frames 14, 15 are also preferably constructed so as to obtain aweather-tight fit or joint between the frames when the movable glass-carrying frame 14. is in its closed position. The frames 14; 15 are also preferably constructedso that the glass-carrying frame may be qnickly and easily inserted into or removed from the supporting frame 15.
To these ends, the frames 14, 15 are prefer ably constructed as will now be described and as shown in Figs. 4 to 12 inclusive.
The supportin frame 15 is provided with a top member, fibottom member, and side members.
These members may and preferably will be cast in one piece of aluminum or other metal.
In the preferred construction herein shown, the top member comprises a bar 20 (see Fig. 12) having at its rear end an upwardly extended flange 21 and at its front end a depending flange 22 from which extends rearwardly a horizontal flange 23 forming with the bar 20 and with the flange 22 a channel 24, which is open at its rear end and closed at its front end.
Each side member comprises a bar 25, which extends for the full length of the side member, and is provided at its rear end with an outwardly extended flange 26 (see Figs. 5 and 8), which forms a vertical continuation of the flange 21 of the top member, and extends the full length of the bar 25. The front end of the bar 25 is provided with a flange 27 (see Fig. 8), which extends laterally inward and has at its end a rearwardly extended flange 28. The flanges 27, 28 are extender from the top member for a portion only of the length of the side bars 25, and form with the upper portion of the bar 25 a channel 29, which is open at its rear end and closed at its front end.
The lower part of the side bar 25 is not provided with a channel and is made narrower than the width of the front flange 2? of the upper part of the side bar. The lower part of the bar 25 is made thicker than the upper part as shown in Fig. 9 and is provided with the'external flange 26 and with a forwardly projecting flange 30.
The bottom member comprises a bar 31 (see Figs. 9 and 12) having at its rear end a downward extended flange 32 and an upwardly extended flange 33, and having at its front end a forwardly extended flange 34.
The flange 21 of the top member, the flan es 26 of the side members and the flange 32 or the bottom member are located in the same vertical plane and are of the same thickness and substantially the same thickness as the stationary glass panes 12 used in the window sash or framework, so that when a stationary glass pane 12 is removed from the window sash or framework, the sup porting frame 15 can be subtituted therefor without change in said framework, and said supporting frame can be secured to the framework or sash by the same means with which the stationary pane 12 is secured.
The side bars 25 are provided with rearwardly extended ears 36 to which the glasscarrying frame 14 is pivoted.
r The ears 36 are attached to the lower un channeled part of "the sidebars 25 and said lower part terminates a short distance above a horizontal plane 37 through the center of the pivot holes 38 in said ears, and the flange 27 of each side bar is provided atits lower end with a curved portion 39 having the pivot hole 38 in the car 36 as a center.
The curved portion 39 terminates substantially in the same horizontal plane as the upper ends of the unchanneled lower part of the side bar 25, whereas the flange 28 which is extended rearwardly from the flange 27, terminates a substantial distance above the horizontal plane 37, so as to leave a space 40 between the lower end of the flange 28 and the upper end of the front extension or flange 30 on the lower part of the side bar, which space is of suflicient width or size to permit the lower part of the glass-carrying member 1.4 to be passed through the space 40 and into position to be pivotally secured to the ears 36 by pivot pins 41, after the manner represented in Figs. 12, 13.
The glass-carrying frame 14 comprises top and bottom members and connecting side members. The top member-comprises a cross bar 44 (see Figs. 10 and 12.) having at its front end an upwardly extended flange 45 and at its rear end a downward extended flange 46.
The side members of the frame 14 are provided with an unchanneled upper portion and with a channeled lower portion.
The unchanneled upper portion comprises a substantially wide bar 47 (see Figs. 6 and 10) having at its front end an outwardly extended'flange 48 and at its rear end an inwardly extended flange 49. p
The channeled lower portion comprises extensions of the bar 47, the inwardly extended flange 49, and of the outwardly extended flange 48, and the latter is provided at its outer end with a rearwardly extended flange 50 (see Figs. 10 and 11), which forms with the bar 47 a channel 51, which is open at its rear and closed at its front by the lower part of the flange 48.
The bottom member comprises a horizontal bar 52 (see Figs. 10 and 12) having at its rear end an upwardly extended flange 53, and at its front end with a downward extended flange 54, which latter is provided with a rearwardly extended flange 55, which forms with the bar 52 a horizontal channel 56 which is open at its rear and closed atits front by the flange 54.
The side members of the glass-carrying frame 14 are provided with cars 58 having holes 59 for the reception of the pivot pins 41, by which said frame is pivoted to the ears 36 on the supporting frame 15.
The flange 50 of the channeled lower part of the frame 14-is extended above the pivot 41 and the front flange 48 is provided with a curved projection or lug-6O which co-operates with the curved: portion 39 of thelsupporting frame 15. I
The inwardly extended flanges 16, $9, 53 are in the same plane and form abed for supporting the pane 13 of glass or like light-transmitt-ing material. The glass pane 13 may be secured to the-bed 'by' means of clamping 'ing members 63 and the glass and between the bed and the glass. The cushionsyieldir y support the glass and the clamps permi'tthe glass to be readily removed in case of breal age.
The clamping members 63 i and cushioning members 66 maycooper'ate withall of the flanges comprising the bed but in the pres ent instance are shown in Fig. 12 as co-o1 erating with the top and bottom'fianges i6,,53.
From the above description, it will be ob 1 served that the glass pane 13 is carried by a frame 14, which 1S movably mounted 111 an open supporting frame 15, and that the latter frame is provided with outwardly ex tended flanges which are located in the same plane and are made of a thickness equal or substantially equal to the thicknessof'the stationary glass panes 12, and the dimensions of the supporting frame are the same or f' substantially the same as those of the stationdescribed.
other portion of a building which is pro ary glass panes 12, so that a side wall or vided with a stationaryglazing construction having a plurality of stationary glass panes 12, and which affords no opportunity for-ven-' tilating the building through such glazing construction, may have one or more of the stationary glass panes removed and replaces scribed without necessitating any change in the stationary glazing construction, and said glazing unit enables the bu loing tobe ven tilated in the sidewall. V i
The improved glazing unit may be substituted for the stationary glass pane in its assembled condition, shown in Fig. 12, or as is preferred, the open supporting frame may be first secured to the sash or frame from which the stationary glass pane 12 has been removed, and the glass-carrying frame 14 insorted lnto the'stationary frame and pivotally secured thereto.
that the portion of the stationary frame 15 above the pivots 11 and on the outside of the building is channeled and co-operates with the unchanneled upper portion of the movable glass-carrying frame '14. to form a practically weather-tight fit or joint between the" sired.
upper portions of said frames, when the 1nov able frame is in its closed position.
It will also be observed that the portion of the movable frame 14 below the pivots, which is also on the outside of the builningis chan neled and co-operateswith the unchanneled lower portion ofthe supportingframe 15 to form a practically weather-tight'fit or joint between the lower portions of said frames when the movable frame is inits closed posi-, tion. y
The glazing unit above described is capable of replacing a stationary glass pane in window'sash' or frame made of wood, and
in which the stationary glass pane is retained by brads or like devices andfputty, but itis especially adapted for use in factories and like buildings having the window sash or frame composed of metalbars. I
In Fig. 2, is illustrated in cross section a portion of a known glazing construction having a metal sash, said portion comprising substantially parallel metal members shown as angle members which are vertically arranged and each of'which is overlapped on its front face bytwo'of the stationary glass panes 12,which latterare pressed against'a metal member 70 by a cap member 71, which 'is held in place by a nut 72 on a threaded stud 73 projecting from the metal member 70, said glass members being cushioned and sealed by strips 74:, 7 5 ofasphaltic felt, orthe like.
