My invention relates generally to window structure, and particularly to an arrangement of a window frame in which a pair of vertically slidable sashes is mounted, the said sashes being in a certain position each swingable on a vertical axis, and an important object of my invention is to provide a window structure of the character indicated which is simple, inexpensive, and which looks like an ordinary window structure.
Another important object of my invention is to provide a window structure of the character indicated above which enables the housewife to easily and safely clean both the inside and the outside of the window sashes, and which will en- 15; able eliminating a great part of the danger and expense incident to the cleaning of windows in Other important objects of my invention will be apparent from a reading of the following de- 5, scription in connection with the drawings, wherein for purposes of illustrationI have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention.

Figure 12 is a perspective view of the upper part of the slide plate.
Referring in detail to the drawings the numera 5 refers generally to a window structure in accordance with the present invention which includes the window frame 6 which has the left hand side I and the right hand side 8. Working in the window frame is the outer sash 9 and the inner sash I I], which sashes, when horizontally aligned in a certain partly open position can be swung inwardly either singly or together to bring the outer side of the sashes within the room in which the window is, so that the outersides as well as the inner sides of the sashes may be washed or otherwise treated without exposing the person within or leaning out of the window structure.
, Attached to the inner face of the window frame side I is the outer stop. II, the middle stop I2, and the inner stop I3. The facing edges of the stops are grooved as indicated by the numeral I4 to provide confining channels for the slide plates l5 and I6 of the outer sash 9 and the inner sash I0, respectively. The side edges of the slide plates I I5 and I6 are slidably confined in the grooves I4, and these slide plates are connected to respective sash strips I1 and I8 whose side edges are slidably engaged with the facing edges of the corresponding stops I I, I2, and I3, as clearly shown in Figure 2.
The opposite edges of the sash work between sectional stops I9, 20, and 2|.
The upper end of each slide plate has an inverted keyhole slot 22 opening through the upper end thereof and this keyhole slot is registered with a conforming opening 23 in the outer side of the corresponding sash strip I8 to provide for reception of the lower end provided with a knot or the like enlargement of the sash-cord 24 whereby to connect the sash-cord operatively with the corresponding sash. The slide plates extend the fullheight of the corresponding sashes and are secured thereto by suitable means such as screws 25. The sash strips are preferably of wood in a wooden sash construction, but when the window structure is formed'of metal or other suitable material, the entire construction including the sashes and the sash strips may likewise be of metal. v
The inner sash 9 has fastened at two or more vertically spaced points on the left hand edge thereof a hinge leaf 26 which is of the same width as the sash and is pivoted as indicated at 21 to a corresponding edge of a correspondingly wide hinge leaf 28 which is fastened to the sash strip IT and has an anchoring indentation 29, clearly shown in Figure 2. Hinges 30 and 3| of the type just described are provided on the outer,
sash 9.
The inner sash I9 is provided with broadly similar hinges 32 and 33 which are similarly fastened to the left hand edge of the inner sash l9 and the corresponding sash strip l8 as shown in Figure 2. The hinge structures 32 and 33 are not of the same width as the sash l but are wider so that the pivot 34 is inwardly displaced from the inner side of the inner sash, so that when swung inwardly the inner sash will give sufficient of ordinary weather-stripping or felt, the present window structure is even more weather-proof and less liable to rattling during storms, than the ordinary window sash arrangements;
The right hand stops 20 and 2| are the sec-" tional stops and each is composed of an upper stationary section 36, a lower stationary section 31, and a removable section 38, the fixed sections 36 and 31 being fastened in any suitable manner to the inner face of the right hand window frame 8.
The upper fixed sections 36 are outwardly and downwardly beveled as indicated at 39 and provided with a squared notch 40, these parts receiving in abutment the angulated portions 4| and the squared tongues 42 on the upper ends of the removable sections 38. a
The lower fixed section 31 is upwardly and inwardly beveled and provided with the squared tongue 44 to abut the angulated portions 45 and the squared notch 46 on the lower ends of the removable sections, so that the removable sections must be placed intoposition by first engaging the lower ends thereof with the described formations on the fixed section 31 and then by an outward swinging movement engaging the formations described on the upper ends of the removable sections with the corresponding formations of the upper fixed sections 36. V
The outer side of the upper partof each removable section carries a flush plate 41 which is secured by screws or the like 48 and has formed thereon the detent 49 which is provided with the horizontal working face 59 which terminates at its inner end in a groove and the upwardly and inwardly angulated base 52 which terminates at its upper end in the groove 5|. Each of the detents 49 is arranged to pass through an opening 53 in, the window frame side 8 and also through an opening 54 in a latch plate 55. Below the opening 54 in each latch plate is a horizontally spaced pair of ears 56 which support a horizontal pivot 51 on which are journaled the lugs 58 on a J-shaped fiat spring'59 which has its upper end inwardly pointed through the opening 54 as shown in Figure 9 and again in Figure 4. A spring 59'circumposed on the pivot 51 is arranged to push the upper end of the spring 59 by the upper end of the said spring, when the resiliency of the said spring assisted by the coiled spring 59 will cause a reverse movement on the part of the spring 59 so that the upper end of the spring 59 will engage in the groove 5| with a positive action, so as to securely lock the movable section in place. Exerting a quick pull in the left hand direction will snap the detent out of holding engagement with the spring 59 and enable removal of the corresponding removable section 38. The arrangements just described apply equally to the sectional stops 20 and 2|.
When it is desired'to. clean the outer side of the sashes, the sashes are brought to such a position that their upper and lower edges come within the upper and lower ends of the removable sections 38. The sections are then removed as indicated, whereupon the right hand edge of the sashes may be swung through the opening resulting from the removal of the sections to such inwardly swung positions as are indicated in' Figure 3. A simple reversal of the operations described will enable restoring the sashes to their ordinary vertically slidable positions.
.Although I have shown and described herein a preferred'embodiment of my invention, it is to be definitely understood that I do not desire to limit the application of the invention thereto, and any change or changes may be made in the materials and in the structure and arrangement of the parts, within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the subjoined claims.
.What is claimed is:
1. In combination, an ordinary window frame, three spaced stationary sash stops fastened to one side of saidframe and defining two sash receiving channels therebetween, three oppositesash stops secured on the opposite side of said frame and defining twosash receiving channels there- 7 between, said opposite sash stops including an outer'stationary sash stop and two inner sectional sash stops, each sectional sash stop including upper and lower stationary sections and an intermediate removable section, and two sashes slidably mounted channels defined by the said opposite sash stops, the upper and lower ends of said removable sections being upwardly and inwardly inclined and dovetailed with the lower and upper ends respectively of the said upper and lower stationary sections, whereby said removable sections can be removed from the stationary sectionsonly by moving said removable sections inwardly and upwardly toward the opposite side of thewindowframe, said removable sections including detents extending laterally vtherefrom and through openings in the respecfastened to the said laterally inward face of said sash strip, a second hinge leaf pivoted at its projecting outwardly therefrom, said sealing element being arranged to be engaged and compressed by a portion of said second hinge leaf into weather-sealing relation between said sash strip and the sash when the sash is in closed 5 position.
