. UNiTED STATES 'Lezama PATNT orifice CARL H. HANSEN, oF PORTLAND, onNncTIcUfr i l WINDOW 'sAsHv My invention relates to the class of devices above named, and an object of my invention, among others, is to provide a window sash that may be raised or lowered in the ordinary manner, to open or close the window, and that shall at the same time have means to provide ventilation without a direct draught through the window and which shall provide forthe entrance of more or less air, as may be desired, and at the same time secure the window against intrusion.

One form of a device embodying my invention and in the construction and use of which the objects herein set out, as well as others, may be attained, is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front view of a window sash embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is an edge view of the same.

denoted by the dotted line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure l is a top view.

Figure 5 is a view in cross section on a plane denoted by the dotted line 5 5 of Figure 1.

Figure 6 is an isometric view of a fragment of the sash looking at the front and with thecentral portion broken out, the pane sash being partly raised.

Figure 7 is a View similar to Figure 6 but looking at the back of the sash.

My invention. in the structure illustrated and described herein, embodies a slidably mounted supporting frame, a pane sash mounted to slide in the frame and a ventilating frame secured to the supporting frame, all of these members being mounted in a window frame and jointly slidable in the same manner as is a window sash, the invention being shown herein as applied to the 40 lower sash of the window but which may be applied as well to the upper sash.

In the accompanying drawings the numeral 8 denotes, as a whole, a supporting sash that is Fitted to slide in the ways in a Window trame in the same manner as is any window Figure 3 is a view in section on a plane sashthis frame comprising Stiles 9 and a botvtom raillO, The stils may beproyidedy with 'theaxsual groovesll and recesses-'tor receivin'g :the cordsv of -lsash weights. The Stiles v9 areI provided,on their inner edges w'itlL-.o grooves 12 .for the reception of the Stiles of a pane sash.

his pane sash is, as to its general construe'- .t1on,, of thesame form and shape as an ordinary window sash and it has Stiles 13, a bot-(5.', 4tom rail-14, a top rail 15, and a pane of glass 416. l-The-stiles ,13,are formed preferably with ribs. 17 fitted toslidel in the grooves 12 in the Stiles 9, although the Stilesv of the pane sash may be-ormed to slide in the grooves A.12 inw@ .any ordinary manner., 'The top rail 15 of the ,pane sashisformed to fit the lower rail of an upper sash,whenA the-ventilator is ,applied .to thelower sash,or vice versa, the bottom rail ,wouldgbe fitted to the top rail of .a lowerngr, sash when thee ventilator is applied to an up-` per part of the window. This hitting will be in the ordinary manner of that ot' the meeting rails lof upper and lower sashes of windows.

This upper rail extends over the stilss 9. :o and is shaped to correspond therewith and es-l pecially as to a .groove 18 constituting the Aupper part of the sash weight groove. The

Ventilating frame comprises stils 19 that are rigidly secured to the stiles 9 of' the support-lv ..75 ing frame. A top, rail 20 rigidly secured to' the Stiles 19 comprises the top ot the ventilating frame, and by reason of its rigid attachment to the Stiles 19, the rail Q0 acts as a rigid` support for the upper ends of the s iles 9 of, .se the supporting frame. Grooves 22 are diagonally1 formed in ythe Stiles 19, andas shown in Figures 3 and 6 of the drawings, and slats 23 are locate/lin said grooves, the upper edges of the slats err-f5 tending preferably a slight distance above the bottomedge of an adjacent Slat. .These slats are preferably rcomposed of glass in order not toob'struct the entrance of light through tht Window, these slats, by reasenof their arrangement, in fact, aiding in the transmission of such light. As an aid to simplicity in construction, the bottoms of the grooves 22 may be. closed by closing strips 24 secured to the sides of the Stiles 19, and to permit the insertion or removal of the slats 23 retaining strips 25 are removably secured to the stiles 19, and as shown in Figure 6 of the drawings in which headed screws are passed through keyhole slots 26 in a plate 27 and through registering slots or openings in the retaining strips 25in "fa manner that'-Will l'be readily understood, a strip'25 being placedtoperrnit slidable upwardly beyond the ends of the stiles of the supporting frame.

A Window sash including a supporting frame the latter including stiles disconnected at their upper ends, a Ventilating frame rigidly secured to the face of said supporting frame and including a top rail serving as a support for the Stiles of the supporting frame on one face thereof, and a pane sash slidably mounted in a recess in the supporting frame and above the ends of the latter and of said supporting rail.
