Description
Sept' 7, 1937- AH. l. HILL 2,092,395
. sAsH BUTTON Filed sept. 19, 1935 Patented Sept. 7, 1937 UNITED STATES v Herbert I. Hill, Northattleford, Saskatchewan,`
Canada Application September In Canada Se 1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in storm sash and window screen retaining buttons, the main object being to provide a, button which will render the sash more Weathertight than has hitherto been possible.
A further object of my invention is to provide means in association with a window button which will act to prevent undesirable rattling in the window or sash.
A further object of my invention is to provide a button embodying an adjustable sash-securing means.
A further object of my invention is to provide an adjustable securing means which will eliminate the use of tools in its installation and adjustment.
A still further object is to provide a button which can be turned more freely than has been possible heretofore.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an adjustable securing means for a storm sash which will be economical to manufacture, and which will be durable in use.
With the foregoing objects in View and such other objects as may appear as the specification proceeds, my invention consists in the arrangement and construction of parts, all as hereinafter more particularly described, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my complete adjustable button.
Fig. 2 is a vertical lateral section centrally through the auxiliary adjusting screw.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of my button as in use, with the sash stile and window frame shown in section.
Fig. 4 is a side View illustrating an alternative embodiment of my invention. y
Fig. 5 is a sectional detail showing my screw 40 and means for frictionally engaging the button with a sash or the like.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
It is believed that all previous designs of buttons, intended to be secured upon the face of the window frame, allow considerable outward movement of the sash from the blindstop, when the sash is not of the correct thickness to iit snugly between the stop and the button. This is apt to produce an annoying rattle, and to make the sash a Very ineffective insulation against the weather. The present invention serves to maintain the sash in position, tight up against the 19, 1935, Serial No. 41,302 ptember 20, 1934 blindstop, conditions.
To this end, I have provided a button, of common design A with an auxiliary adjusting screw B which is tipped with a. soft rubber cap C.
The button is of cast metallic construction, having finger grips l0, bearing faces upon the under sides of the base portions Il and located centrally in an enlarged center section I2, a countersunk drilling i3 for the reception` of a woodscrew. Also is provided, as an integral part of the button, a cylindrical reenforcement I4. Located centrally within this reenforcement is a tapped drilling for insertion of the adjusting screw as illustrated and on its under side a concavity I5 for the reception of the cap. The relative positions of these parts are shown in Figure 2.
The cap is held in place by its own tenacity, after having been stretched over the end of the Screw, the diameter of the cylindrical recess I6, in the rubber cap when relaxed, being less than the diameter of the screw. In order to rotate the screw, a disc l'l with a knurled edge i8 is provided.
The application of my button will now be apparent. As shown in Figure 3, the button is secured to the frame with a woodscrevv inserted through the countersunk drilling. When the sash is in place, the button is turned to a horizontal position so that the auxiliary screw may be tightened against the stile of the sash. This effectively secures the sash against the blindstop, preventing any tendency of the sash to rattle, and rendering the storm sash considerably more weatherproof than does any previous design.
In Figures 4 and 5, I have shown a second embodiment of my invention, the sash securing means in this case consisting of a strip of metal I9 of the general configuration shown, the strip being provided with an orice 20 through which extends a screw 2l of substantial length. Engaging with the threads of the screw, I provide a spiral tightener 22 provided with a short lever arm 23.
In this embodiment, it will be obvious that when the sash to be secured is in place, the angularly disposed portion 24 of the metal strip is rotated so that it is in contact with the edge of the sash after which the tightener is rotated upon the screw so that it causes the strip to bear tightly against the sash and prevent movement thereof.
It is also to be noted that in former designs, the button has to be screwed tightly against the 55 thus eliminating these undesirable frame, to ensure the buttons contact with the sash but in the present invention, it may be left fairly loose. This renders the button easier to turn and less liable to sticking with paint.
Since various modifications can be made in the above invention, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same, made Within the scope of the claim Without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense, and I desire only such limitations placed thereon as are specically expressed in the accompanying claim.
What I claim as my invention isz- Improvements in sash buttons comprising a body portion provided with an oriiice centrally located therein, a reinforcing rib extending the length of said body portion, means for pivotally attaching said body portion to a surface comprising an element extending through said orifice, a thickened portion Within said rib provided with a recess on the underside thereof, a screw shank extending through said thickened portion substantially parallel to said element, a thumb screw upon the outer end of said shank, and a rubber cushion upon the inner end of said shank receivable within said recess.
