STEEL SASH 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Sept. 5, 1930 Patented May 16, 1933 f *UNITED STATES lmxlfaN'r OFFICE CLARENCE F. KUNNY,y or IBROOKFIELD, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOB ro lFEDERAL STEEL y SASII COMPANY, OEWAUKESHA, WISCONSIN, A CORPORATION or WISCONSIN STEEL SASH Application filed September .10 provide a steel sash construction which has been especially devised for use in sanitary dairy barns andother farm buildings and which has been found `to satisfactorily meet yserv-ice requirements whereL the usual socalled industrial steel sash has not.1

More particularly the present invention provides a steel sash with outside glazing so that the inner face of the sash may be readily kept in a sanitary condition and be free as far as possibley fromprojections and dust catching and holding surfaces. Furthermore the present construction provides a steel sash with a ventilator section which swings inwardly and may be held in partiall *2 5 ly open position or be swung to completely open position adjacent the fixed Sash or the wall of the building. Also the steel sash as hereinafter described is so constructed. and arranged as to attain the above described objects in a simple and efficient manner.

The invention further consists in theseveralA features hereinafter set forth and more particularliy defined by claims at the conclusion hereo In the drawings, Fig. 1 is an elevation view of steel sash embodying the invention, `as viewed from the interior side thereof,

parts being broken away;

Fig. 2 is a detail enlarged horizontal sec-k fm tional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1,

parts being broken away;

Fig. 3 is a detail enlarged vertical sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, parts being broken away;

f15 Fig. 4 is a detail, vertical sectional. View taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings,-the numeral 5 designates the relatively fixed sash frame which is formed of side and `end T-bars l U which may be welded or otherwise suitably presentfiat lsurfaces to the interior of the 5, 1930. Serial No. 479,897.

securedtogether at the corners so as to form a frame and whichmay have one or more muntin bars 6 of T `section welded thereto to provide the window openings 7 and. which also includes a transverse T-bar 8.

The ventilator section j `9 is formed by T-bars l() joined, as by welding, at the corners and to a muntin bar 11 of similar section; said section being hingedly connected to the bar 8 ofthe main frame by spaced hinges 12 and secured in closed position .by a suitable latch 13 cooperating with a keeper 14 on the rmain frame.

For securing a weathering Contact between the fixed sash frame and the ventilator `section, the inner sides of the upper opening in the fixed frame that receives the ventilator section have ychannel bars 15 secured thereto as by welding so that the inner sides 16 of said bars form an inner weatherin surfacevagainst which the outer flanges 1 of the ventilator section abut and the outer flanges 18 forni a weathering seal ywith the ends of the legs 19 of the T-bars 10 ofthe ventilator section.

It will be noted v from Figs". 2 and 3 that when the ventilator is closed that the construction is such that bars forming the fixed frame and ventilator section are aligned and B0 building and that the windows l20 for Kthese V' sections are secured in their respective frame by outside glazing 21 so that substantially the entire interior surface of the complete sash is formed of plane flat surfaces and freer vfrom crevices where dirt and dust can collect and 4may be readily and efficiently cleaned by the use of a water hose.

A To providea `water shed at the lower joint of the ventilatorlsectioyn I may secure a longitudinally extendingfplate22 to its lower fra-Ine member to projecty over the ljoint asshown in Fig..3. n With this construction also it will be noted thatthe ventilator swings inwardly and in"5 Fig. 4 I show .the ventilator in closed position infulllines and the partially .open and fullopenpositions in dotted lines, it being noted that for the. partially open position I have provideda latchplatey 23 at one Side of 1,00

the ventilator section that cooperates with a notched bar 24 pivotally mounted at 25 on a bracket 26 secured to the lixed frame and adapted to have any one of its notches en gage the plate 23 to hold the ventilator in different partially open positions.

It will be noted that the notch in the plate 23 in which the bar 24 works permits said bar to be disengaged therefrom so that the ventilator may be swung to a position substantially parallel to the plane of the ixed sash frame.

With the above construction it is a simple matter to keep the inner surfaces of the sash that form a part oi the wall of a dairy barn or other farm building in a sanitary condition, and the full capacity of the ventilator is realized when the same is swung down through an angle of substantially one hundred and eighty degrees.

I desire it to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to any particular form or arrangement of parts except in so far as such limitations are included in the claims.

What I claim as my invention is:

l. A window comprising an opening in a wall, a frame lining the edges of said` opening and extending around sidewardly to cover interior portions of said wall adjacent to said opening, said frame having an inwardly extending yflange in the plane of said wall covering portions, muntins composed of dividing webs backed by interior flanges, the latter being in a plane with said frame iange and joining therewith providing flat interior frame portions flush with said frame flanges when closed, said ventilator being hingedly mounted in said ventilator opening and arranged to swing inwardly.

3. A window comprising an opening in a wall, a frame lining the edges of said opening and extending around sidewardly to cover interior portions of said wall adjacent to said opening, said frame having an inwardly extending flange in the plane of said Wall covering portions, muntins composed of dividing webs backed by interior flanges, the latter being in a plane with said frame flange and joining therewith said muntins being secured to the frame dividing the same into a ventilator opening and Vsmaller sights, panes within said sights seated against the interior of said frame flanges and said web flanges and embraced by the lining portions of said frame and said webs, exterior glazing for securing said panes in said sights, and a ventilator including panes providing flat interior frame portions flush with said frame flanges when closed, said ventilator being hingedly mounted in said ventilator opening and arranged to swing inwardly, and means for holding the ventilator in various partially opened positions and for permitting said ventilator to swing inwardly to a position substantially parallel with the plane of said Window.

In testimony whereof, I aiiix my signaf ture.

CLARENCE F. KUNEY.

said muntins being secured to the frame I dividing the same into a ventilator opening and smaller sights, panes within said sights seated against the interior of said frame flanges and said web flanges and embraced by the lining portions of said frame and said webs, exterior glazing for securing said panes in said sights and Va ventilator including panes,vhingedly mounted in said ventilator opening and arranged to swing inwardly.

2. A window comprising an opening in a wall, a frame lining the edges of said opening and extending Earound sidewardly to cover interior portions of said wall adjacent to said opening, said frame having an inwardly extending flange ,in the plane of said wall covering portions, muntins composed of dividing webs backed by interior flanges, the latter being in a plane with said frame flange and joining therewith, said muntins being secured to the frame dividing the same into a ventilator opening and'smaller sights, panes within said sights seated against the interior of said frame flanges and said web flanges and embraced by the :lining portions of saidframe and said webs,

exterior glazing for securing said panes said sights, and a ventilator includlng panes
