STORM WINDOW Original Filed July 15, 1935 Patented Aug. 31, 1937 STORM WINDOW Charles W. Flint, Glen Ellyn, Ill.
Application July 15, 1935, Serial No. 31,438 Renewed February 5, 1937 2 Claims.
The invention relates to improvements in storm windows for use in conjunction with the ordinary windows of a house, the primary object of the invention being the provision of a simple construction of the character indicated which is capable of economical production and highly efficient in use.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a storm window construction which may be readily utilized for its normal function in the wintertime and may also readily be moved or shifted into inoperative or idle position when its use is no longer desired.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which Fig. 1 is an outer face view of a storm window construction embodying the invention, one side or section thereof being shown in position of actual use for storm protecting purposes in the wintertime and the other side or section thereof being shown in idle position;
. Fig. 2 a section taken substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 a section taken substantially on line 3-3 30 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 a partial view similar to Fig. 1 but showing a modified form of construction; and
Fig. 5 a section taken substantially on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
35 The embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawing comprises two storm window sections ID of a size and shape to fit snugly within the outer portion of a window frame H to close the same for storm window purposes. Each of the sections Ill is hinged at 12 to the corresponding side of the window frame so as to be capable of being swung outwardly against the outer wall of the building into idle position when no longer desired for storm window purposes. vided with a pivoted latch member l3 cooperating with a latch member It on the window sill to hold the section in closed or operative position.
Cooperating with each of the storm window sections III is a guard body l5 of a size to cover, conceal and protect the same. Each guard member I5 is provided along its outer vertical edge with a closure rail or bar It and along its top edge with a closure bar or rail I'I, thereby enclosing and protecting the outer edge and top of Each of the sections In is also pro-' the covered section In when in idle position. Each of the rails I6 is hinged at It to the outer wall of the building in proper position as shown to permit of the guard member being swung into position to cover, enclose and lock the corresponding section I when desired. Each guard member I5 is provided with a suitable bolt l9 cooperating with a latch member 20 on the outer wall of the building to hold the same in proper position thereon.
By this arrangement storm window sections are provided which may be readily utilized as such when desired or opened and safely and securely positioned against the outer wall of the building when their use as such is not desired, as in the summertime.
It is also to be noted that the arrangement disclosed permits of the washing of both windows at any time desired. If desired, the guard member l5 may be made in imitation of ordinary ornamental window shutters or in imitation of the adjacent outer wall surface, thereby rendering their presence inconspicuous and relatively unnoticeable. The specific form and arrangement of the parts is a simple and effective one for the purpose and is capable of economical production.
In the modification illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, the guard members l5 are each provided at the top with a suspending eye or bracket 2| adapted and arranged to engage over a suspending projection or hook 22 on the side of the building, as indicated, so as to suspend the guard member in proper position over the corresponding storm window section. At the bottom each guard member I5 is provided with a suitable bolt 23 cooperating with a suitable catch 24 on the wall of the building to secure the bottom of the guard member in place. This arrangement constitutes an alternative construction for mounting each guard member in place, otherwise the arrangement is the same as that already indicated.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred forms of construction for carrying the invention into effect, these are capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details disclosed but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In a storm window construction, the combination with a window arranged in the outer wall of a building, of a storm window section fitting the outer portion of the window frame and hinged to swing outwardly into idle position flat against and parallel to the building wall; a removable guard for said section comprising a guard body of a size to cover, conceal and-protect the same, said body being hinged to the outer wall of the building adjacent the free edge of said section when in idle position and arranged to swing into and out of position to cover or uncover the section; and means for locking said guard member in section covering position.
2. In a storm window construction, the combination with a window arranged in the outer wall of a building, of a storm window section fitting the outer portion of the window frame and hinged to swing outwardly into idle position flat against and parallel to the building wall; a guard for said section arranged to cover, conceal and protect it in idle position against the building wall; and means on the wall of the building above and below the position of said section for removably mounting the guard member in section covering and concealing position.
. CHARLES W. FLINT.
