Nov. 28, 1939. LE ROY B. TAYLOR REVERSIBLE WINDOW Filed Jan. 31, 1938 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 INVENTOR.
r Y m m w o T w 5 A UJ m e Patented Nov. 2 8, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention relates to reversible windows and means for operating same and is an improvement on the window shown in my U. S. Patent No. 1,593,228.
One object of the invention is to provide a window of this type improved with respect to the means for supporting and reversing the sash.
Another object relates to the means for housing and connecting the pivoted arms and links which support the sash and for assembling such arms and links with respect to the window casing, so that the Window may be fully reversed in such manner as to be sealed at the meeting rail,
or merely reversed for washing when desired.
A further object is to generallyv improve the construction and assembly of such reversible windows and to simplify the method of operation as will more fully appear from the following description and the accompanying illustrations, in which:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front elevation of the reversible window and its operating means as seen from the inside of the window with the housing removed.
Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section similar to Fig. 2 but showing the method of reversing and its operation.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on line 44 of Fig. 3, with the housing shown.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged section on line 5--5 of Fig. 2, with the housing shown.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged section on line 66 of Fig. 2, with the housing shown.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary section similar to Fig. 2 but showing the completely reversed sash in dot-dash lines.
Again referring to the illustration; this improved reversible window comprises a casing I0 constructed preferably of sheet steel or the like, having grooves M wherein are mounted adjustable weatherstripping i2 secured to the sash 3 by screws I20; A guide housing l4 mounted inside of the casing it and on the inner side of the casing stiles has a series of slots therein. These slots comprise a'narrow slot l5, adjacent the top of the housing M, which extends downward to a shoulder a where it terminates in slot l8 which is substantially double the size of the slot 5, and slot it also extends downward to a shoulder ll at which point said slot terminates in a second narrow slot l8.
In agroove or channel l9 formed between the casing Ill and the housing M, is mounted an arm 20, said arm having secured on each side thereof, adjacent its top end, rollers 2| and 22 upon a is closed as shown in Figs. 1, 2,
or pane 3| is secured between the sash 3 and pivot 23 secured through said arm 20, as specifically illustrated in Fig. 4; these rollers will run up or down in the guide housing l4.
The lower end of arm 2t! terminates in an ear 24 having a pivot 25 mounted therethrough and pivotally secured to the sash l3.
A second arm or link 26 is pivotally secured to each arm Ell by a pivot 27 at its upper end, its lower end being secured pivotally to the casing I0 by a pivot pin 28; an aperture 29 in the guide housing M allows-access to the pin 28 for assembly; a reinforcing block I la is secured to frame it by the pin 28 at which point the arm pivots and the pivot 25 registers with a slot 30 in the housing l4 and slides therein when the sash and 7. A glass a glass stop 3|a.
In reversing the sash l3, the arms 20 swinging out through the slots l5 ends on the pins 23 as the rollers 2i and 22 move downward in the-grooves or channel l9 between the guide housings l4 and the casing it; the' link arms 26 pivoting at their lower ends on the pivot pins 23 with the outward movement of the arms 20 also swings outward through the slots I! in the guide housings l4, thetop of link arms 26 and the bottom of arms 28 pivoting together, swing out of slots It, the pivots 25 moving outward through slots 38 in the housing l4 adjacent to the opening into slot It thus swinging the window from a vertical to a horizontal position, then as the arms 20 and link arms 26 move back to their original positions, the bottom of the said window swings upward to assume the top position as indicated by dot-dash lines A in Fig. 7, the outside of the glass or pane 3| now being on the inside. The sash pivot ll Fig. 6, moving vertically up and down in the channel |9a formed between the housing l4 and the casing l0.
I claim:
1. In a reversible Window the combination of an outer casing having stiles each shaped to form a flange on the inner side of the window and a vertical channel intermediate its width, a guide housing extending vertically beside each stile, said housing having an inner flange overlying the flange of the stile on the inside of the window.
the inner edge of the housing being bent to form an angle which fits within the channel of the stile, the intermediate. portion of the housing being spaced from the stile to form a Vertical chamber, the said inner flange of the'housing having a vertical slot communicating with said pivot at their upper 2 2,181,385 chamber, a reversible sash fitting between the respectively, said arms and links swinging housing, a pair of swinging arms provided at through said slots when the sash is reversed.
one end with rollers which travel up and down 2. The combination stated in claim 1, the
in the channels of the housings and pivoted at housings having grooves to receive the sash 5 the other end to the sash, and a pair of links pivots when the sash is closed. 5
pivoted at opposite ends to the arms and stiles LE ROY B. TAYLOR.
