WINDOW Filed Oct. 18, 1934 3nventor GEORGE A.RUBB|NS (Ittomeg S Patented Jan. 7, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WINDOW George A. Robbins, Hilliar Township, Knox County, Ohio Claims.

This invention relates to windows ofthe species shown in the Letters Patent of the United States issued to me August 14, 1934, No. 1,970,195, and an object of the invention is to provide simpli- 5 .fied means for weatherproofing the window.

LII!

Other objects of the invention will appear herein.

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

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is an interior elevation of a fraction of a tile wall partially broken out and showing the window according to the invention installed therein.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section looking down on the line IIII, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an isometric perspective of the weather strip.

Fig. 4 is a larger detail view showing the latch engaging the glass pane in full lines and its unlatched position in broken lines.

Fig. 5 is a front view of the latch in connection with a fraction of the glass.

As in my former patent referred to the two glass panes I2, [2, rest and slide horizontally on metallic tracks in the window casing, end boxes, such as shown at l4, being provided into which the panes can be slid upon opening the window.

In the present instance a vertical angular strip l9, similar to the corresponding strip in my said former patent, is secured to each side of the window casing, and Within each of said angular strips is inserted a weather strip of trough-like construction, such as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the edge of one leg It of said trough-likestrip pressing against the outer face of the glass while the other leg Ili is bent inward as shown at l6 to engage a corresponding bend in the angular strip 19. When the weather strip is inserted, as shown, it is prevented from. accidental removal, as when the glass is slid, by reason of the engagement of the angular parts referred to. The weather strip can be inserted by springing the legs thereof toward each other.

The projecting edge of the angular strip I9 is utilized as a stop for supporting a fly screen.

To thwart would-be intruders the inner part of the window casing is shown as provided with a latch member 26 pivoted at 2| to a pair of legs 22 on a base 23, saidbase also provided with a leg 24 connecting which and said pivoted latch member is a coiled spring 25 adapted to draw the latch member toward the glass pane. Said glass pane is also provided with a notch 26 into which the free end of the latch member is drawn when the glass pane is in window closing position. If

ventilation is desired at night a second notch 26 can be made in the pane in such a position as to permit a small opening and prevent ready ex-- ternal manipulation of the pane. The latching member can be swung to broken line position, as in Fig. 4, when the window is not to be locked in which case the coil spring of the latch holds the latch in disengaged position.

The latch member and its support can be economically formed out of sheet metal as shown.

The forms of the parts can be changed without departing from the gist of the invention as claimed.

What I claim is:

1. Means for Weatherstripping a horizontally sliding window pane including a hollow vertical member secured on the building in which the window slides and a trough-like sheet metal member having one leg to engage said hollow vertical member, with its other leg engaging said pane.

2. Means for Weatherstripping a horizontally sliding window pane including a hollow vertical member secured on the building in which the window slides and a trough-like sheet metal member constructed to be sprung into engagement with said hollow vertical member with one of its legs engagingsaid hollow vertical member, and its other leg engaging said pane.

3. Means for weather-stripping a sliding window pane including a longitudinal hollow member secured on the building in which the window slides, one leg of said hollow member being longitudinally bent, and a trough-like sheet metal member having one of its legs bent to engage the first mentioned hollow member while its other leg rests on the pane.

4. Means for weather-stripping a sliding window pane including a longitudinal hollow member secured on the building in which the window slides, one leg of said hollow member being longitudinally bent, and a trough-like sheet metal longitudinal member having one of its legs bent to engage the first mentioned hollow member while its other leg rests on the pane, said troughlike member adapted to be sprung into said engagement.

5. Means for Weather-stripping a sliding window pane including a longitudinal hollow member secured on the building in which the window slides, one leg of said hollow member being 1ongitudinally bent, and a trough-like sheet metal member having one of its legs bent to engage the first mentioned hollow member while its other leg rests on the pane, one of said engaging legs being of width to project at its edge beyond the other.
