3 Claims.

This invention relates to window frames. Window frames should be made of a horizontal depth (looking at the vertical side) according to the character of the plaster or covering to be used in the room. To effect such accommodation it has,

heretofore, been necessary to cut or reduce the pulley stiles and the top and bottom parts to suit the kind of plaster or covering intended. In the modern construction of houses the customary jamb for wall board covering has been four and seven eighths inches; for standard lath and plaster five and one fourth inches; and for insulite plus one half inch plaster five and one half inches.

An object, among others, of my invention is to provide a form of strip of fixed dimensions, especially in cross section, that can be nailed to the inner edges of the frame members including the stiles to accommodate the frame to two of the three different sorts of wall covering material.

The invention is embodied in the example herein shown and described, the feature of novelty being finally claimed.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a View in elevation broken out vertically and horizontally looking at the inner or room side of a window frame with a fraction of my device applied in one of its positions to the right hand pulley stile. 1

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line IIII. Fig, 1, looking down, showing the adjacent studding and the frame installed but without the device of the invention applied.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section similar to Fig. 2, on the line III-III, looking down, showing my device applied in standard lath and plaster construction.

Fig. 4 is a horizontal section similarto Fig. 3 with the same form of strip reversed and as ap-- plied for insulite and half inch plaster.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view on a larger scale of a fraction of the strip according to the invention.

In the views It designates the pulley stiles, Ill the top cross piece and H the sill of the frame. These parts can be furnished to the public knocked down.

I2 designates my strip which is to be furnished with the frame parts referred to according to the nature of the wall covering to be employed. Said strip [2 is made by rabbeting a strip of the necessary length of wood so as to provide it with a thin portion 12* and a thicker portion 12 These thin and thick portions [2 and l2 are each preferably of a width substantially equal to the thickness of the inner edge of the pulley stiles.

When ordinary plaster board, as at [3, is used, as in Fig. 2, the strip 12 is not needed.

In the standard construction, as at H3 in Fig. 3,

the strip I2 is secured to the pulley stiles and top '2 without the rabbeted strips.

member with the thin portion i2 fitting against the edge and corner of the pulley stiles and top member.

When the insulite and half-inch plaster is to be used, as shown at I5 in Fig. 4, the strip I2 is applied to the pulley stiles and top member with the thick portion l2 secured to the edges of the stiles, as illustrated in said Fig. 4.

The thickness of the portions 12 and lZ is such that when the strip is nailed to'the edge of the stile'as to cause the wall covering of the type applied to come flush with the exposed face of the strip l2 as best depicted in Figs. 3 and 4.

By reason of my invention the frame parts can be sold substantially as illustrated in Figs. 1 and Or they can be sold with the strips furnished for permitting flushing of the wall covering with the outer face of the strip, the same strip being applicable,

The forms of the parts can be changed without departing from the gist of the claimed. 7 What I claim is:'

invention as 1. Means for permitting flushing of a wall covering with the stiles and other members of a window frame consisting of a strip rabbeted lengthwise to form two portions only therein of different thickness, whereby either of said portions can be applied to an edge of said frame members according to the thickness of the adjacent wall covering to be applied.

2. Means for permitting flushing of a wall covering with the stiles and other members of a window frame consisting of a strip formed lengthwise providing two portions only thereof of different thickness, whereby either of said portions can be applied to an edge of said frame members according to the character of the adjacent wall covering to be applied.

3. Means for permitting flushing. of av wall covering with the stiles and other members of a window frame consisting of a strip constructed with two lengthwise portions thereof of the different thicknesses, the portion of smaller thickness being of a width substantially equal tothe thickness of the stile, and either of which portions can be. applied to an edge .of said frame members according to the character of the adjacent wall covering to be applied.
