The principal object ot the present invention is to provide a window which is capable oit being easily reversed in position to `t`acilitate cleaning and which may be tightly and securely closed.

Another object ot our invention is to p rovide a window which is capable of being swung inwardly about a vertical axis and moved transversely to reverse its position.

.A further object of the invention is to provide a window of the character indicated oit' simple, strong and durable construction.

The several features of the invention whereby the above mentioned and other obmay be attained, will be readily understood from the `tollowing description and accompanying drawings, in which:

lfhe window illustrated in the drawings is provided vith a window case Q. and bottom and top parts l and (i which are mounted to slide vertically past each other within the un dow case, the two parts being provided f i the usual weights connected thereto by c ins or cords one of which being indicated at i (Fig. As the two sliding parts of the window preferably are oi the saine construction. onlyT the bottom part will he specilically described herein.

llt)

Each window part or section comprises an outer sash S mounted to slide in the window case, and an inner sash 10 mounted in the outer sash, both sashes being preferably made of sheet metal which is bent into tubular form as shown and the inner sash carrying a pane of glass 11.

The inner sash is adapted to be swung inwardly about a vertical axis adjacent its left hand edge and then its axis moved transversely of the outer sash. To provide for this, pivot blocks 12 are mounted in the upper and lower ends ot' the lett hand vertical member of the inner sash and receive vertical pivot pins 141 arranged in axial alinement. The upper pivot pin 14 is received in an aperture in the block 12, and the lower pivot pin 14C is received in a socket in the lower block 12, the upper end of the lower pivot pin engaging the bottom wall of said socketso as to bear the weight of the adjacent vertical edge o the window sash. Oil holes 13 are provided in the upper end ot the bearing block 12 and in the adjacent outer wall of the inner sash so that the bearing may be kept well lubricated, the oil hole in the sash being closed by the outer sash when the inner sash is closed.

The outer ends of these pivot pins 14 are secured to supports or carriers 15. The lower carrier 15 is mounted on rollers 16 in a guiding channel member 18 ot sheet metal having its upper edges secured to the upper Wall ot' the lower horizontal member of the outer sash and having its front side wall secured to an inwardly pressed portion 2O on the inner or front wall of said member of the sash. The rollers ride on the bottom horizontal wall ot the channel member 18 and the carrier is guided by the vertical side walls of said channel member. The lower pivot pin 14 extends through a longitudinal clearance slot 22 in the upper wall of the lower horizontal member of the outer sash.

The. upper carrier 15 is mounted to slide in a downwardly opening channel 24 formed in the bottom wall of the upper horizontal member of the outer sash, said carrier being guided between the vertical side walls of said channel.

In order to ensure smoothness of opera.- tion, a slightly bowed leaf spring is held at its ends in a recess in one side of each of the carriers 15 the center of the spring engaging one of the walls of the associated guiding channel.

A cord 26 (Fig. 5) has one end connected to one end of the lower carrier 15 and its other end secured to the opposite end of the upper carrier 15, said cord passing over pulleys 28 mounted in the hollow outer sash. A cord 30 has one end secured to the end of the lower carrier l5 opposite to the end to which the cord 26 is secured and its other end secured to the opposite end of the upper carrier 15, said cord 30 passing over pulleys 32 mounted within the outer sash.

The rear side of the outer sash is provided with an inwardly projecting flange 34 having its front wall provided with a transversely curved portion 35, the portion 36 of said front wall between said curved portion and the inner edge of said iiange being iiat. The outer rear wall of the inner sash is provided with a conversely curved portion 37 and a flat portion 38 which when the inner sash is closed fits the portions and 36 of said flange of the outer sash. The portion 37 of the left hand vertical member of the inner sash and the adjacent curved portion 35 are curved substantially concentrically of the axis ofthe pivot pins 14 but the centers of said curved portions 35 and 37 are slightly offset from one another so that when the inner sash is swung closed there is a slight cam or binding action between the two curved surfaces which insures a tight joint.

Vhen the inner` sash is closed it may be held closed by any suitable fastening means, such as the locking lug 40 (Figs. 3 and 4) secured on the inner e-n'd of a stud shaft 42 which is mounted to turn in an aperture in the forward wall of the right hand sash member, the forward end of the stud shaft 42 being provided with an operating handle 44. Upon swinging this handle 44 downwardly, the lug 40 engages within a slot 46 in the adjacent inner wall of the outer sash. member, the wall of the inner sash member being provided with a clearance slot for the lug. Said slot 46 is provided with an inclined wall 48 so that when the handle is swung downwardly the lug 40 by acting on the inclined wall 48 tends to bind the inner sash against the outer sash so as to insure tight closing` and locking of the window.

With this construction, to open the inner sash, the handle 44 may be turned to unlock the sash and then 'the sash may be swung inwardly so as to move its right hand edge versed. When the reverse side of the window has been cleaned, the window may be swung in the reverse direction and the pivot carriers 15 return to their initial positions, whereupon the lower sash may be swung closed and locked.

The cords 26 and 3() connecting the two carriers 15 as above described insure that the pivot pins shall be maintained in proper vertical alinement so that any danger of binding of the inner sash during its sliding movement is eliminated.

The handle 44 is arranged within the space between the planes of the front sides of the inner and outer sashes, so that the handle on the top inner sash will not interfere with the usual opening and closing of the window.

As will be evident to those skilled in the art, our invention permits various modiica tions without departing from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claims.

What we claim is:

1. A window having, in combination, a Window case, an outer sash mounted to slide vertically in the case, an inner sash, means for mounting the inner sash in the outer sash whereby it may be moved about a vertical axis and moved transversely of the outer sash comprising pins extending vertically in axial alinement in pivotal engagement with one vertical edge of the inner sash, supports for the outer ends of said pins mounted to slide in the outer sash, and means interconnecting said supports for causing them to move in unison whereby to maintain the pivot pins in vertical alinement during movement of the inner sash.
