7 Claims.
' The invention relates to windows and more especially to a double hung, inswinging window.
An object of the present invention is to provide a double hung window so constructed that both sashes may be raised and lowered in the usual manner and also may be both swung in- "ward as a unit on a vertical axis for the purpose of easily washing the outer surfaces of the panes, or for the purpose of ventilation.
Another object is to provide such a window which will have the appearance of the conventional window excepting when the sashes are swung inward.
A further object is to provide a window of this character in which the usual sash weights and cords are eliminated, both sashes being frictionally supported 'for sliding movement upon the swinging side of the window frame.
A still further object of the invention is to provide spring means for slidably connecting the sashes to the swinging side of the window frame.
Another object is to provide a swinging window so constructed that it will remain locked against swinging movement although either one of the sashes may be fully opened.
The above objects together with others which will be apparent from the drawing and following description, or which may be later referred to, may be attained by constructing the improved swinging windowin the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is 'an elevation of a window constructed in accordance with the invention showing the sashes swung inward and against the wall of the room in which the window is located;
Fig. 2, an enlarged horizontal section through the improved window showing the same in closed position;
Fig. 3, a view similar to Fig. 2 showing the window in the position it assumes as the sashes are being withdrawn from the grooves in the stationary side of the window frame, to swing the sashes inward; and
Fig. 4, an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the means which may be provided for locking the window against swinging movement.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawing.
The improved window includes a frame which may be attached to the studs ID, as in usual practice. This frame may include the vertical jamb I I which is fixed to the adjacent studs on one side and the vertical board I2 which is fixed to the adjacent studs III on the opposite side.
The sill I3 may be of usual construction and is located at the lower end of the frame in usual manner while the head I 4 is connected to the upper end thereof, asis customary in the construction of window frames.
The outer portion of the frame may include i the usual vertical boards I5 and I6 at opposite I sides, the board I5 being rabbeted as at IT to receivethe outer edge of the jamb member II, while the board I6 is similarly rabbeted at I8 to receive the outer end of the hinged or movable 10 jamb I9 as will be later described.
The outer trim members are attached in usual manner and on the inner side of the frame the inner vertical trim member 2! may be attached to the inner edge of the stationary jamb 515 member Hand against the inner wall 22 while he lintel member 23 of the inner casing or trim is attached tothe'head I4 in. usual manner. v
The usual parting strip 24 is connected to the stationary 'jamb II at a point equally spaced 20 from the protruding inner end of the outer frame member I5 and the inner stop strip 25 so as to provide vertical grooves in which the adjacent edges of thesashes 26 and 2'I-may slide as in usualpractice. I
The movable'jamb member I9 has fixed thereon the parting strip 28 equally spaced from the protruding end'jo'f the outer frame member I6 and the inner stop strip 29 which is attached to said movable jamb. Y
The upper stop strip 30 maybe attached to the head [4 and lintel trim member 23 asin usual practice excepting that the same is cutoff at the end adjacent to the swinging jamb as indicated at 3|. Otherwise the head construction of the window frame may be the same 'as the conventional window. g I v The inner edge of the movable jamb I9 is hingedly connected to the adjacent-"inner trim member 32 as indicated at 33 and this inner trim member is hingedly connected to the Window frame at its upper and lower ends of the adjacent side of the frame as by the hinges 34.
The upper and lower sashes 25 and 2?, respectively, are carried entirely by the movable jamb member I9, being connected thereto by means of the bolts 35 attached to the sashes and located through vertical grooves 36 in the movable jamb I9 and connected to the leaf springs 31 which frictionally engage the inner surface of the jamb I9, the tension being adjusted upon said springs as by the wing nuts 38 upon the bolts.
If desired, means may be provided for locking the swinging jamb I9 and trim member 32 against swinging movement. For this purpose an internally threaded metal plate 39 may be attached to the frame member l2 as by screws 49 or the like, and a thimble 4| may be located within a suitable opening 42 provided for the purpose in the swinging trim member 32, a screw 43, provided with a flanged head 44 and a squared end 45 being provided for locking the swinging trim member against movement relative to the stationary portion of the frame.
With the construction of window illustrated in the drawing and above described, it will be seen that either sash may be slidably opened in the conventional manner. When it is desired to swing the sashes inward into open position for the purpose of washing the outer surfaces of the panes thereof or for the purpose of additional ventilation, the screw 43 is disengaged from the plate 39, the upper sash is lowered until the upper edge thereof is below the top stop strip 39 and the lower sash is raised until the lower edge thereof is above the surface of the sill is.
The hinged trim member 32 and hinged jamb member l9 are then swung upon their hinges, as shown in Fig. 3, withdrawing the opposite edges of the sashes Z6 and 21 from the usual guide grooves formed between the parting strip and stop strips upon the fixed jamb member II and the sashes are then swung inward upon the hinges to any desired position within the room to permit washing of the outer surface of the panes thereof or may be swung back against the wall of the room as shown in Figure 1, to provide for additional ventilation, as it will be seen that a full length screen may be mounted in the window opening thus using the entire area of the window opening for ventilating purposes.
In closing the window, the sashes are swung back to the position shown in Fig. 3 so that the swinging edges thereof may be entered into the guide grooves upon the fixed jam member H, after which the swinging trim and jamb members are swung upon their hinges back into the position shown in Fig. 2. The sashes may then both be moved to closed position.
It shouldbe understood that the lock member shown in detail in Fig. 4 is not absolutely necessary as the window cannot be pushed open from the outside as long as one or the other of the sashes is in closed position, since the upper sash will engage the top stop strip 30 when in .closed position, and the lower sash will engage behind the sill l3 when in closed position. Therefore either sash may be fully opened and the window will still be locked against inward swinging movement as long as the other sash is fully closed.
It should be understood that although the improved window is illustrated and described as constructed of wood, the entire structure may be made of metal without departing from the invention as set forth in the following claims.
I claim:
1. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb, a hinged trim member, a jamb hingedly connected to the hinged trim member, and a pair of sashes slidably connected to the hinged jamb only.
2. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb, a hinged trim member, a jamb hingedly connected to the hinged trim member, and a pair of sashes slidably connected to the hinged jamb only, and means for frictionally holding the sashes in adjusted position upon the hinged jamb.
3. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb at one side of the frame, a trim member hinged to the other side of the frame, a jamb hinged to said hinged trim member, a pair of sashes, and friction means slidably connecting the sashes to the hinged jamb only.
4. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb, a hinged trim member, a jamb hingedly connected to the hinged trim member, and
a pair of sashes slidably connected to the hinged jamb only, and means'for detachably connecting the hinged trim member to a stationary portion of the frame.
5. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb at one side of the frame, a trim member hinged to the other side of the frame, a lamb hinged to said hinged trim member, a pair of sashes, there being vertical slots in the hinged jamb, bolts connected to the adjacent edge portions of the sashes and located through said slots, and spring means upon said bolts bearing against said hinged jamb.
6. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb at one side of the frame, a trim member hinged to the other side of the frame, a jamb hinged to said hinged trim member, a pair of sashes, there being vertical slots in the hinged jamb, bolts connected to the adjacent edge portions of the sashes and located through said slots, and spring means upon said bolts hearing against said hinged-jamb, and means for adjusting the tension upon said spring means.
7. A window comprising a frame including a fixed jamb at one side of the frame, a trim member hinged to the other side of the frame, a jamb hinged to said hinged trim member, a pair of sashes, there being vertical slots in the hinged jamb, bolts connected to the adjacent edge portions of the sashes and located through said slots, and leaf springs upon said bolts bearing against said hinged jamb.
