This invention relates to window constructions and the object of the invention is to provide a window construction where the sash or sashes, as the case may be, are mounted for sliding movement as well as swinging movement vertically,
the arrangement being such that the window glass may be swung inwardly to facilitate Washing both sides of the glass, and also to increase ventilation.
Further in accordance with the present invention the window glass may be supported at the desired angle to provide for ventilation without draft.
The invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:-
Figure 1 is an elevational view of a window construction embodying the features of the present invention and as viewed from the outer side of the window.
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but viewing the window from the inner side thereof and with the weight boxes removed.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the window illustrating in broken lines various positions of the sashes.
Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a perspective View of a portion of a sash.
Figure 6 is a detail sectional view showing themanner of pivotally mounting a sash with a guide strip.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of a guide strip.
Figure 8 is a perspective view of a panel guide strip.
Figure 9 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 99 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings by reference numerals, it will be seen that in the preferred embodiment thereof the window structure comprises a suitable frame 5 adapted to accommodate, in the present instance, an upper sash 6 and a lower sash I.
The sides 8 of the frame in the upper ends thereof are provided with Suitable openings in which are journaled pulleys 9 over which are trained sash cords It for the sashes 6 and 'I and which sash cords are equipped with the usual sash weights II which are of course concealed in sash boxes (not illustrated).
Each sash 5, 1 comprises a suitable frame I2 having a window pane I3 mounted therein in a more or less conventional manner, the manner of 7 mounting and securing the pane I3 within its frame I2 not being of the essence of the present invention.
Also for each of the sashes B, I there is secured to each of the sides 8 of frame 5 a guide strip I4 of metal or other suitable material, the strip being secured by screws or any other suitable fastening means as is apparent.
Each strip I4 has its longitudinal edge portions bent outwardly from the plane of the strip at obtuse angles to the plane of the strip to provide flanges I5.
For cooperation with each strip I4 each sash frame I2 is provided on its respective opposite side with guide strips I6 complemental to the guide strips I4.
Each guide strip I6 is formed of metal or other suitable material and is channel-shaped in cross section, with the sides I! of the panel having longitudinal free edge portions bent inwardly to provide flanges I8 which engage behind the flanges I5 of a complemental guide strip I4 in a manner clearly shown in Figure 9.
For securing each sash frame I2 to its guide strip It for pivotal swinging movement in a vertical plane relative to the strip each frame I2 at the lower opposite corners thereof, and as clearly shown in Figure 6, has secured thereto through the medium of screw or similar fastening elements I9 substantially L-shaped plates 20 the vertical flanges of which are provided with pivot studs 2| which are engaged in openings provided therefor in the lower ends of the strip I6 and are then upset as clearly shown in Figure 6 to provide for a pivotal connection between the sash frame I2 and its associated guide strips I6.
Also each sash I2 has suitably mounted in the opposite side members thereof spring projected latch bolts 22 provided with actuating knobs 23 that project from the frame so as to easily be grasped for retracting the bolts 22.
Also the guide strips I6 adjacent their upper ends are provided with keeper slots 24 with which the bolts 22 are engageable as shown in Figure 9 for securing the frame I2 engaged with the strips I6 so that said frame and strips may be slid vertically as a unit for positioning the selected window sash at the desired open position.
To confine the swinging movement of each sash I2 to an inward direction, the strips I6 have secured to the outer sides thereof elongated plates 25 that have free longitudinal edge portions provided with flanges or projections 26 which engage in longitudinal grooves provided therefor in the adjacent side rails of the associated sash frame 12 as will be clear from a study of Figures 4, 5, 8, and 9. Thus it will be seen that the strips 25 act as stops which will permit the sash frames l2 to be swung only in an inward direction.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the structure will admit of the raising and lowering of the sashes 6 and 1, and, with the latch bolts released, of the swinging of the frames of the sashes vertically into a full horizontal position as suggested in broken lines in Figure 3, or with respect to the upper sash 6 the swinging of the frame of the upper sash 6 to a position of angular adjustment as suggested by broken lines in the upper portion of Figure 3 whereby ventilation without draft may be obtained. In this connection it will be understood that the vertical adjustment of the upper sash 6 with respect to the lower sash I will determine the angular position to which the sash frame 12 of the upper sash 6 may be swung for obtaining such ventilation without draft.
It will also be appreciated that such a structure will admit of the swinging of the sash frames inwardly of the room to a position as will facilitate the washing of both sides of the window glass of either upper or lower sash.
If desired, and as shown in Figure '7, instead of directly nailing or otherwise securing the strips it to the window frame there may be interposed between each strip M and the side 8 of the window frame an oblong plate 28 of metal or other suitable material as suggested in Figure 7.
It is thought that a clear understanding of the construction, utility and advantages of an invention of this character will be had without a more detailed description.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. In a window construction, a frame having a vertical fixed stile, a guide track secured vertically to the stile and having its longitudinal edges bent to form flanges directed obliquely from the stile, a window sash including a framing rail opposed to said track, a runner channelshaped in cross-section and opposed to said track between the track and sash rail, the side walls of the channel having their free ends directed laterally into converging relation and having interlocking and tracking contact with said track flanges, said sash being pivoted to said runner, a stop plate secured to one side wall of the channel and overlying the sash rail, the free edge of said stop plate being formed into a key flange and said sash rail having a groove forming a keyway for reception of said key flange.
2. In a sash construction, a frame, a substantially L-shaped plate secured to one corner of the frame, the vertical portion thereof being provided with an attaching and pivoting stud, an auxiliary rail to which said stud is pivoted, said rail constituting a sliding runner for the sash and. being channel-shaped in cross-section with the side walls inturned laterally to provide guiding and retention flanges, said sash having a latch, the web portion of said channel being apertured to provide a keeper for the latch.
