' The present invention relates to Window constructions, and more in particularto a Window having a slidable sash anda transom therein, the same :being mounted in a framevvhereby the' frame, slidable sash and transom are assembled as a unit attheffac'- tory, and adaptedto be mountedas such unit in a structure, such as a ship, etc.
Among the objects of the present invention are to provide a Window construction having lan upwardly opening, slidab-le sash therein,
and a transom mounted thereabove and adapted to swing outwardly therefrom.
A further object is to provide a Vnovel metallic sash construction adapted to make a Weather-tight closure With a meeting railY of the frame. lThe invention comprehends the provision of a slidable sash adapted to be raised into a Well formed inthe upper portion of the Window frame, and vWhen in such raised position, said sash is mounted alongside of the'transom.
A still further Objectis the provisionof a novel Window frame construction4 adapted to be assembled With the sash and transom, at the factory, and the entire assembly unit adapted to beplaced in an openingin the hull of a ship, and there mounted in position, the outside of the frame being suitably connected to the metal plate of the ship. By constructing the frame, sash and transom of metal, the' invention saves considerable in the cost of constructing, assembly andvmaintenance of Windows, and provides a' more rigid. construction which admirably fills the need so long felt in ship construction.
Another obj ect of the invention is the provisionofa sash construction in Which the top rail thereof is removable in order `to facilitate glazing of the same. Furtherobjects are to provideA a construction of maximum sim plicity, eiiiciency, economy and ease of assembly, detachment and maintenance, and such further objects, advantages,and capabilities as will latermore fully appear, and are inherently .possessed thereby. n
The invention further resides in the combination, construction, and arrangements of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and vvhile'there is shown therein a preferred embodiment, it is to be understoodthat the same is susceptible of modification and change, and comprehends others details, arf rangements of parts, features andfconstructions, Without departing from `the spirit of the invention. i l.

Referring more particularly to the disclosure in the dravving,the numeral 1 refers to the hull or metal plate of the ship structure, although itis to ybe understood that the present invention, While being .particularly adapted for use Yin ship construction, is admirably adapted to, be used yin other 4structures, such as buildings or the like.` The h ull or metalplate of the ship is shown as pro4` vided with an opening 2 for the reception of the Window` frame 3, provided with the slidable sash 4 and transom 5. The rframe 3includes asill 6, head amb 7, and side members or stiles 8 and 9. The sill 6 is shown as'having its interior portion 10 seated upon a stool l1, and its exterior portion 12 connected to a. metal trim 13, as by means of rivets or other suitable connecting means 14.
plane represented by The stiles 8 and 9 have their interior portion 15 seated against jambs 16, and their outer portion 17, bent upon itself to provide a groove or channel 18 for the reception of the metal trimv 19. The numeral 2O refers to a transverse member or wood trim positioned on the interior of the window frame.
The sash 4 is disclosed as including a bottom rail 21, side rails 22, and a top rail 23. The bottom and side rails are disclosed as of a simi-lar construction, and may be connected together by any suitable means such as welding, or by other attaching means, vand are formed to Yprovide `channel members 24 having a downward-ly lor outwardly .extending doubled-over portion '25. On the side rails, this doubled-over portion 25 is adaptedto be received in longitudinally extending grooves or channels 26 so as to forrna weather-tight closure. The doubled-over portion 25 of the lower rail .21 isada'pted to abut against a shoulder 27, while a portion of the lchannel member seats ina shouldered portion l28 on the sill "6so `as to forme weather-tight closure therewith when the sash is in its lowered, closed position.V The top rail 23 is provided with a channel member 129 and an outwardly and downwardly .extending doubled-'over portion 30. y y l Y V'The transom `5 is swingably connected at its upper end *to a head plate 31 by means of hinges or the like 32, these hinges beingcOnnected to the head plate, and to the top .rail 33 o'f the transom. The top rail` 33,'bottom rail 34, and side rails 35 of the transom :are of similar construction, and include a channel member 36 provided withan inwardly Vertending doubled-over portion 37.
The Vdoubled-over portion 37 'on the side rails 35 are adapted to bev received, when in closed position,in L-'channel members B8, while the doubled-over @portion on the top rail 33 is adapted to be received in the '.horizontally extending groove or channel 39 formed in the head plate '31.l Y
In order that the doubled-over portion of thebottom rail 34 of the transom, andthe doubled-over portion 30 of the top rail of the sash, may form a weather-tightclosure whenin closed position, there is provided a meeting rail 40. This meeting r'ail'comprises a Aplate or sheet of metal bent upon itself .to form an outwardly opening Vgroove or'channel 41 adapted to receive the 'doubled-over portion 37 on Athe 'bottom :rail "34V of the transom, a central member 4'2-and a channel inember 43 ladapted to receive the doubled-over portion 30 of `the sash 4. This meeting rail 40 is connected by'lany suitable means to the stiles V8 and 9, ais `by welding, lbrazing or 'the like.
As disclosed in Figs. 1 kand 2, the window framefis'providedwith a well 44 in its upper portion for the .receptionof the 'sash 4 when in open position; The transom f5 may be operated by any suitable mechanism (not shown) for opening and closing the same. Suitable catch members 45 are mounted on opposite sides-of the sash near the bottom thereof, and are each provided with a plunger adapted to seat within openings in the stiles 8 and 9, so that the sash may have various positions of adjust-ment.
In order to strengthen the sash and transom rail construction, the bottom rail 21 and side Yrail 22 of the sash member, and the top rail 33 and side rails 35 'of the transom member, are each provided with a reinforcing bar 46. In -order `to permit ready glazing `,of lthe sash, the. top rail V23.V thereof and the side rail 22 are cut on af bias as at 47 to perthe ready removal of the top rail. IVhen the glass is in position, the top rail 23 is ap- `plied,an'clo(imiter-sunk screws or bolts are napplied at each side of the top rail, these screws or bolts'pass'ing through the top rail, and intofthe reinforcing bars 46 in the side rails, these reinforcing bars being interiorly threaded lto receive the same.
The gla-ss49 in the sash 4 and the glass 50 in the transom 5, are shown as seated in felt or the like 51, while suitable weather stripping 52 is embedded in the grooves or channels of the meeting rail/40, and in the channels formed in the channel members of 'the transom, Vso that a weather-tight closure is made whenever the transom and sash are in closed position.
The `assembled window unit, when placed in the Vopening formed in the Yhull of the ship,
is connected to the hull or metal plate V1 by means of'bo'lts, rivets or vthe like 5 3, whereby a 'weather-tight and water-prooi: assembly is formed. Although the invention has been disclosed as applicable to the hull of a ship, it is of course `to be understood that the same is adapted for numerous uses and can be -as- -semb'led in numerous structures wherever such an assembly is desired.
