This: inventionv relates, to vimprovements in windows, land refersmore particularly to Vwindows having ,upperfand lower, SashesV adaptedV to Vbe ymovedvertically` fbetweenf '5i Stiles, and `pivotally.l between y slides' movable in the Stiles. i` Y n VIn my vUnited States `Patent No.vr 1,741,417 9 granted on December 31st l1929 I provi'deda window Vwherein the Sash was ,Y pivotallyf v10 mounted betweenvertically movable slides,

t? with that: miA Y tages in viewwhichwill become apparent as* Jwherein arms werepivoted on the slides and predetermined position intheir Stiles when they were automatically rendered reeg-to move pivotally thereby @allowing the sash to Swing downwards into a substantially hori-v n Vzontal position; but atall other'positions of Y '20 the slides the arm` extensions :only could Y swing thereby materially limiting the'piv- A and one form of means for looking thev Sash otal sa?sh'movement-ly In practice,however,

it has been found objectionable for the-sash y toibe automatically rendered free to swing 1n-` wardly when. a predetermined slide f position is f reached,` as this sometimes occurs Awhen pivotal sash movement is neither expected*H nor-desired. Y .n

and 5 adjacent their inner margins grooves 10 and 41 are formed throughout'their length f to receive outwardly and rearwardly extendn ing projections 11 and 42 on the plates 6 and 7 respectively, so that the cooperating portions 10 and 11, and 41 and 42, function as weather- Y stripng when the sashes are vertically disf pose f Intermediately of their length and width the sash plates 6 and 7 each have, on their inner sides, a pair of parallel and longitudinal ribs 12 and 13, and 43 and 44, respectively. Y The front ribs 12 and 43 extend inwardly further than the rear ribs 13 and 44. Longitudinally of these sash plates adjacent their inner sides stepped projections 14 and 45 are also formed to receive the front vertical corners of the sashes 8 and 9, the sides of which also rest against the front ribs 12 and 43. Between each pair of ribs 12 and 13, or 43 and 44m a. longitudinal slot 15, or 46, is formed in which an outwardly projecting tongue 16, or 47, integral with a sliding member 17, or 48, is arranged.v

V`The members 17 and 48 lie substantially parallel with the sides of the sashes 8 and 9 respectively, and are of such thickness that they may move freely between the latter and theinner ribs 13 and 44. 18 and 49 indicate vscrews extending through the sashplates 6 `I will now describe in detail the mounting of the lower sash plates 7 on their slides 5, reference being had to Figures 7 and 11 of the drawings.

Extending outwardly from the sash plates 7 adjacent their lower extremities are hinge pins 19 having annular flanges 20 around them a short distance from their outer ends;

n these flanges are also spaced from their sash ner side of eachk flange 20 bears against the Vsash cords-not shown.

outer side of the central portion of one of the slides 5 kand the outer ends of the hinge pins-19` extend into the apertures 23 in the flexible members 22. In order to remove the sash 9 all that need be done is to press the flexible'member 22 outwardly so that the pins 19 become disengaged from the apertures 23 the sash may then be moved downwardly 'relative to the slide 5 and the pins 19 then move out of engagement from the slots 20.

Within the channel-shaped portion of the slides hooks 24-as shown in Figure ll-are provided to receive one end of conventional Through the slides 4 and 5 intermediately of their length slots 26 and 57 are formed through which locking pins 27 and 58 project. The method of supporting these pins is identical in both sashes and is clearly shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13. It consists in the provision of resilient menibers 28 and 59 secured within the slides, and the said members at their free ends encircle the said locking pins. In the rear margins of the sash plates 6 and 7 recesses 29 and 60 are formed which are so positioned that when the sash plates are vertically disposed their bases force the pins 27 and 58 rearwardlyagainst the tension of the resilient members 28 and 59, but when the sash plates 6 and 7 are moved forwardly at an angle to their slides 4 and 5 the pins are also moved forwardly by the resilient members 28 and 59 which` support them. On the opposed faces of the stile grooves 2 and 3 opposed catches 32 and 61 are secured which have slots 31 and 62 respectively therein. These slots are adapted to receive the `pins 27 and 58 and hold the slides 4 and 5 against vertical movement; that is, of course, provided the sashes and sash plates are moved pivotally when the slides are at such heights that the pins will engage their respective slots.

Extending inwardly from the opposed faces of the stile grooves 2 are stops 30 with which the lower extremities of the slides 4 come into contact when in their bottoni position. kThe catches 32 are usually so positioned that the pins 27 will engage the slots 31 when the slides 4 rest against the stops 30.

Pivotally mounted on the inner sides of the slides 4 intermediately of their length are arms 33 having the sliding members 17 pivotally attached to'their opposite extremities. These arms are so placed that when the sash plates 6 are in their normal vertical positions the said arms lie in the cut away intermediate portions 106 of the sash plates 6. As the sash 8 and sash plates 6 swing inwardly the tongues 16 of the members 17 travel downwardly in the sash plate slots 15 until the arms 33y strike the rearwardly projecting shoulders 106a formed at the lower ends of the cut away portions 106. thereby preventing further pivotal movement of the sash plates 6.

theouterfsides ofthe sash 9 and covered bv l its sash plates 7 are apertures 100, ,inl which a blockxlOl is arranged. Eachof the latter is lheld in vposition against its isash plate 7 fas byscrewsl02; Longitudinally onthe inl ner sideof the block 101,th`at yis on the side yofthelatter remote Afrom itssash plate, a ilat lspring A103 is'arranged which has one extrem# ityy secured to the said block.

This movement ob,`

viously draws the locking member 105 inwardly relative to the block 101'andsash plate 7 .v

The locking member 105 normally extends across the path of travel of the sliding member 48 and projects through an aperture 118 in the slide 5 thus holding the latter and the sash plate 7 against independent movement. When the handle 109 is raised and thevarm 112 moved rearwardly the locking member is moved inwardly suliiciently for the slider 5 to be released and also 'for the recess 100 in the said locking member to come into alignment with the sliding member 48 so that a portion of the latter may pass therethrough. The upper and lower margins 48a and'48b of the member 48 rest adj aceiit the lower and upper sides respectively ot the locking member 105 when the sasli is in Ventilating and closed positions respectively. n Therefore when the sash is in ventilating position the locking member prevents the sash from moving towards its closed position and the projection 7 4 which limits themovenient of the extension 71 in a downward direction `prevents the sash from swinging further downwardly, thus the sash is held substantially immovable in Ventilating position in part by the locking device now described. Accidental releasing of the sliding members 48 can only occur when the handle 109 is accidentally raised, since the spring 103 always returns the locking member 105 into such position` that its recess 96 is out of alignment with the sliding memberl 48 and into engagement witl the slide aperture 118. While in the :foregoing the preferred embodiments of the invention have been de`` scribed and shown, it is understood that the construction is subject to such further alterations and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
