`5 Claims.
PThe present invention relates to bus or car window construction, and more particularly to a side .post construction having means for removing and inserting the glass sash, an object of the invention being to provide such a structure in which the spring pressed channels at the side edges of the glass may be easily adjusted into a Yposition which will permit of the glass being engaged or disengaged without interference of the spring pressure, to the end that the glass may be Very coveniently handled and the retaining stops easily put in place.
With the above and other objects in View an embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing and this embodiment will be hereinafter more fully described with reference thereto, and the invention will be finally pointed out in the claims.
As the construction, according to the invention is the same at each side of the window sash, only one side will be shown in the illus trated adaptation of the invention.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary outside elevation.
Fig. 2 is a Vertical sectional View taken along the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a Vertical sectional view, taken along the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and showing the normal operative position of the parts.
Fig. 4 is a similar View to Fig. 3, but showing the felt channel and retainer held in retracted position to release the glass.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional View, along the line 5 5 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional View, along the line 6 6 of Fig. 4.
Fig. '7 is a horizontal sectional View, along the line 7 7 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 8 is a horizontal sectional View, along the line 8 8 of Fig. 4, and
Fig. 9 is a horizontal sectional View, similar to Fig. 8, but showing the inside stop removed and the inner leg of the felt channel swung open.
Similar numerals of reference will be used to denote like parts in the several gures of the drawing.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents the windowcasing, and 2 generally denotes the outside stop which is made of metal. 'Ihis outside stop comprises a comparatively wide member 3 which has a leg 4 abutting the post, a member 5 that extends inwardly and is spaced from the post, as shown at 6, and immediately beyond the riser 'l of the stepped portion is taken taken taken taken a comparatively narrow member 8 which is integral with the stop 2 and parallel to the member 3, the spacing between the riser 7 and member 8 forming a groove 9. A protrusion 10 is formed at the end of the member 8. The portion 6 extends beyond the member 8 and terminates in a lip 11 that is parallel to said member. The stop is secured to the post at suitable intervals by screws (not shown) and the space between the member 5 and the post preferably contains a suitable packing 12, such as felt, so as to prevent dirt or moisture from entering.
The inside stop 28 is of generally H-shape, and is inserted by rolling one leg over the protruded end 10 of the member 8 into the channel 9 and in abutting relation to the inner leg of the felt channel 20, the outer leg seating upon the member 6 adjacent the lip 11. A lip 29 on the stop overlaps the end of the inner leg of the felt channel and co-operates with the lip 23 in holding the channel in place.
When the inside stop is thus placed in position it will be noted that the pressure of the felt channel is outwardly upon the inner. end of the stop 28, pressing the outer end of the inner leg against the inner wall or step 7 of the groove 9 about the protrusion 10 as a fulcrum, the stop being thus held in position and in turn retaining the felt channel 20. The position of the stop 28 may be xed with relation to the casing by screws or other suitable means, as shown for instance in Fig. 7.
The operation is as followsz In the normal operative position the springs 13 press the felt channel 20 and metal retainer 21-22 assembly tightly against the side strap 19l of the glass 17, the lip 29 limiting the position of the felt channel. In order to remove the glass the felt channel and retainer assembly is pressed inwardly away from the edge of the glass compressing the springs 13 and engaging the hooks 1,5 in the openings 24, whereupon the assembly is forced upwardly to lock the hooks to the retainer, as shown in Figs. 4, 6, and 8. In this relation pressure on the inside stop 28 is removed so that by removing thev screws 30 this stop map.y be easily drawn out. The inner leg of the j fell'I channel may then be swung open, as shown inY Fig. 9, and the glass readily removed, the latter being entirely. free of the pressure of the springs. The glass is inserted in the sameway, and when theA inner stop 28 is in place the felt channel and retaining assembly is. pushed down,
bringing the hooks 15 into the openings. 24, whereupon the springs 13. press the felt channel and retainer assembly to the normal operative position in relation to the edge of the glass and the lip 29.
Ir have illustrated and described a preferred and satisfactory embodiment of the invention, but it will beobvious that changes may be made therein, within the spirit and scope thereof as defined-i in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1s:-.
