4 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a double slide window.

The invention has for an object the construction of a double slide window which is characterized by a vertical window frame, sash tracks on the top side and the bottom arm of the frame, and sashes arranged on these tracks in a particular manner.

A further object of this invention is to arrange the top portion of the sashes to work in grooves in the top arm of the frame, and to provide elements on the sashes for engaging the frame to hold the sashes on the tracks, and movable to positions which permit said sashes to be moved further into the grooves when desired so that they are removable from the tracks.

Still further the invention proposes to arrange the sashes in adjacent pairs, the elements of each pair capable of sliding past each other, or to be extended across the window frame.

Another one of the objects of this invention is to arrange the sashes within the window frame in two pairs, namely a front pair, and a rear pair.

The invention also contemplates the provision of a transom arranged in the: top of the window frame and having transom door elements each adapted to pivot to an open position in the same direction.

Another one of the objects of this invention resides in the provision of a means for holding the sash elements of each pair of sashes in an open position.

Still further the invention contemplates an arrangement which will draw the sash elements of each pair of sashes together laterally While forcing them apart endwise so as to firmly lock them within thewindow frame.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure:-

Fig. 11 is a fragmentary enlarged detailed view of a portion of Fig. 10.

Fig. 12 is a sectional view taken on the line l2l2 of Fig. 11.

The double slide window, according to this invention, comprises a. Window frame ii! having a bottom arm m a top arm N and side'arms lfi Sash tracks H are mounted upon the top side of the bottom arm Hi Window sashes I2 are slidably mounted on these tracks H and in grooves 53 formed in the top arm 3'. These sashes are arranged in pairs. There is a front pair Hi 13, and a rear pair [3 [3 Each pair of sashes has sash elements which are adapted to be moved to a position in which they are superimposed on each other when viewed in front elevation, when the window is open, or they may be moved to a position in which they are adjacent to each other (as shown in Fig. 1) and then the window is closed.

An element l 5 is mounted on each sash element and is adapted to engage the top arm l of the window frame to hold the sash on the track I I. These elements l5 are pivotally supported by pintles l6 sothat they may be pivoted slightly downwards as shown by the full lines in Fig. 6. Then the window sash element is free and may be slightly lifted up further into the grooves l I. When thus lifted the bottom of the sash element may then be swung out and disengaged from the track H.

Each element l5 comprises a body portion l5 provided with a knob l8 by which it may easily be gripped to be moved from one position to the other. The dotted line position in Fig. 6 illustrates the position in which the element l5 prevents the sash element from being disengaged from the track H.

The adjacent edges of the sash elements of each pair of sashes, when the sashes are closed, have Weather strips 20' mounted thereon and cooperative with each other. These weather strips are of channel shape in transverse cross sections as may be seen from an inspection of Fig. 5. When the sash elements of a pair of sashes are in the closed position the arms of these weather strips engage each other and form a weather tight joint. These weather strips extend from a point 20' slightly below the element I5 downwards completely to the bottom of the sash element.

A means is provided for holding the sash elements of each pair of sashes closed. This means consists of a bar 23 which is pivotally mounted by a pintle 24 upon an inner edge of one of the sash elements. This pintle 24 is mounted on a bracket 25 secured to the sash element. This bracket 25 has a projecting pin 26 which limits pivoting of the bar 23 to the vertical and from the vertical in one direction. A knob 2'! is attached to the bar 23 by which the bar may be moved. In the vertical position of the bar 23 the holding means is inoperative and the sash elements may be moved to an open position. When the bar 23 is pivoted to a position as shown in Figs. 6 and 8 it will engage into a groove 23 formed in the adjacent sash element and so hold the sash elements against relative motion. 7

The frame ID has a top extended portion I0 which is formed by the arm I0 a top arm 10 and the side arms IO This extended portion forms a frame for a transom. There are transom elements 30" and 30 hingedly mounted at spaced positions withinsaid frame. The transom element 30 is substantially above the front pair of sashes and the rear transom element 30 is substantially above the rear pair of sashes. The front transom element 30 is supported by a hinge 3| connected with a bottom edge thereof by which the transom element is hingedly supported so as to be openable when the top edge is drawn inwards. In the closed position the transom element 3ll -engages a strip frame 32 mounted within the transom frame. This transom is provided with a lock 33 cooperative with a keeper 34 mounted on the transom frame. The rear transom element 30* is supported by a hinge 35 connected with a top edge and the frame. This transom element 30 is'also provided with a lock 36 cooperative with a keeper element 31 on the frame by which it may be locked in the closed position.

In Figs. 10-12 inclusive, a modification of the invention has been disclosed Which distinguishes from the prior form merely in the means for holding the sash elements locked. This means comprises a bracket 39 attached upon one of the sash elements and rotatively supporting a tubular member 40. A stem 4! rotatively engages through the tubular member 40. This stem hasa head 42 by which it may be turned. Upon the inner portion of the stem there is a flange 43 which prevents the stem 4| from sliding out of the tubular member 40.

The inner end of the stem 4| is provided with a threaded portion 44 which threadedly engages a bracket 45 upon the other sash element. The tubular member has a cam 46 upon its inner end and projecting fingers 41 on its outer end. The tubular member 40 may be turned manually by gripping the fingers 41, to pivot the cam to the position indicated by the dot and dash lines in Fig. 11 to force the sash elements apart. The bracket 39 is loosely mounted on the sash element so as not to interfere with the operation of the cam 46. This loose mounting is obtained by studs 49 mountedv on the sash element and engaging through slots 50 formed in the bracket 39.

The screw 44 is capable of forcing the sash elements together laterally. This lateral action is simultaneous with the endwise action of the cam 46. The tubular member 40 is slidable in the bracket 39 and is rotatively mounted on the stem 4!. This permits the screw portion 44 to be engaged into and removed from the bracket 45. As shown in Fig. 12 the screw 44 is engaging the bracket and drawing the sashes together laterally to compress the weather strips 20 between the sashes. The handles 41 may be turned to cause the cam 46 to simultaneously force the sash elements endwise apart from each other so that they tightly engage against the side arms III of the window frame. Thus the sashes are locked, and the construction is weatherproof.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the pre cise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
