m 7 Claims. This invention relates towindow constructions, particularly for fast moving vehicles, as the cars of stream lined trains, and has for its object an inner and outer weather stripping, the inner stripping forming a seat for the glass in the sash frame and sealing the joint between the glass and the sash frame, and the outer strip sealing the joint between the sash and the window frame. and also projects or covers the inner strip against weather and deterioration.
It also has for its object an outer weather strip of resilient material which yields or gives and takes during weaving and distortion of the car body and'relieves the sash or sashes of the weavmg and distortional strains. More specifically, it has for its object an outer I weather stripping of resilient material, as rubber, which is pressed against the walls of the chanml of a windowframe in which the sash frame is located, and is provided with headed or beaded margins, which press against the outer face of the outer glass pane and the inner face of the inner glass pane,.and thus protect the resilient strips in which the margins of the glass pane or panes are seated. .Also, it has for its object such an outer weather strip which also presses against the edges of the side walls of. the channel of the window frame to shield the exposed crevice between the window frame and the weather stripping as well as the crevice between the weather stripping and the glass panes and the sash frames. The invention consists in the novel features and constructions here- In describing this invention, reference is .had
'I to. the accompanying drawing in which like the sash and window frame. '45
charactersdesignate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1. is a fragmentary isometric view of. a window construction embodying this invention; and
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view through This windowconstruction is particularly designed for sashes that are immovably mounted in a window frame. When installed in fast moving trains, the usual sash constructions are ineffective to prevent moistureand rain from forcing around the sash frame to the interior of the window, and also the sashes are subject to strains resulting from weaving of'thecar body, and this invention comprises a resilient weather stripping,
' which presses against thesvindow frame and the glass panes in suchamanne'rjas to prevent wacl. lea-s4) ter beating between the weather stripping and the glass panes and being forced around the glass panes or around the sash frame and from being forced around the weather stripping betwen the weather stripping and the walls of the 5 channel of the window frame and also cushions the sash frame in the window frame and relieves it, to a large extent, of body weaving and distortional strains.
I designates the window frame, which is mounted in a window opening of the car body in any suitable manner, this frame being formed up of metal to provide a channel 2 for receiving the sash frame, one wall, as 3, of the channel being demountable for the purpose of placing the sash in the window frame or removing it therefrom.
As shown, the demountable side 3 fits into a groove I in the window frame beyond the bottom 5 of the channel and isheld in the groove by a screw 6. The construction of the channel forms no part of this invention.
I designates the sash frame, this being usually formed of metal and confining a channel 9 for receiving the margins of the glass panes l0 and a spacer II between them. The sash frame is made up so that one side is demountabie for the purpose of removing and replacing the glass pane, but the construction of the sash frame for this purpose forms no part of the invention. The margins of the glass panes may seat in a yielding inner weather or glazing strip 80 in the channel of the sash frame and is U-shaped in general form in cross section. The strip 80 is usually of rubber and also forms a cushion between the glass pane or panes and the sash frame 8.
i2 designates the outer weather stripping, this being usually of rubber and U-shaped in cross section, and fitting the channel 2. The sash frame I, when in position, snugly fits the weather strip and presses it against the sides and bottom of the channel 2. It serves as a cushion to relieve the sash of strains due to weaving and distortion of the car body, when the car is running. The sides of the U formation constitute strips between the sides of the sash and the side walls of the channel, and these are provided with headed or beaded portions I 3 located beyond the inner edges H of the channel of the sash frame and pressing at 15 against the outer face of the outer glass pane and against the inner face of the inner glass pane, and also pressing at i6 against the edges of the side walls of the channel 2, which edges extend inwardly beyond the inner edges of the sash frame. The beads l3 thus shield the inner strip 80 and protect it against weather, and hence rapid deterioration and are pressed against the glass at all times during weaving etc. of the car body.
The weather stripping is applied to the sash framebefore it is mounted in the window frame, and when the sash frame is mounted in the channel of the window frame, the headed or beaded portions in pressing against the edges of the side walls of the channel of the window frame, as at I6, tend to press the headed or beaded portions against the glass pane and hold them in snug engagement therewith at l5. Hence, any water is prevented from beating in crevices shielded at l5 and I6 by theseheaded or beaded portions.
What I claim is:-
1. In a window construction, the combination with a window frame formed with a channel and a sash frame mounted in the channel and confining a second channel for receiving the margins of the glass, of inner and outer weather strips, the inner weather strip being located in the channel of the sash frame and forming a seat for the margins of the glass and the outer strip being located in the channel of the window frame between the sash frame and the walls of the channel of the window frame, and extending beyond the inner edges of the sash frame and pressing against the glass forming a shield for the inner strip,
2; In a window construction, the combination with a window frame formed with a channel and a sash frame mounted in the channel and confining a second channel for receiving the margins of the glass, of inner and outer weather strips, the inner weather strip being located in the channel of the sash frame and forming a seat for the margins of the glass and the outer strip being located in the channel of the window frame between the sash frame and the walls of the channel of the window frame, and extending beyond the inner edges .of the sash frame and pressing against the glass in position to shield the edges of. the inner strip, the outer strip also pressing against the edges of the side walls of the channel of the window frame.
