Fig. 1. The distance between the edges 48 and 69 of the side arms 44 and 65 is less than the maximum width across the butt portions 33 of hooks Z3 and 24 and greater than the minimum width across the tips 32 of said hooks. As the sash is swung into closing position the

This causes the pivoted member I! of the hanger to: be rigbaseportions of the fixed member swing to accommodate such movement of the hooks. When it is desired to remove the sash, the sash is merely swung outwardly and raised until the cross bar 43 becomes disengaged from the

The advantages of my invention are manifest. The sash hanger is easily applied to the sash and window frame in which the sash is used. hanger may be used with any type of pivoted sash such as storm sash, screen windows or any outwardly opening sash. With my inveninto position so that the same readily becomes engaged with the fixed member.

Changes in the specific form of my invention, as herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent 1s:

1. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member wo hooks yieldingly held in spaced regage said hooks in. the crotches thereof, and with lateral portions adapted to engage said hooks on opposite sides thereof and to urge the same toward one another.

2. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member hooks and to urge the same together.

4. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed of sheet metal and formed with a outermost edges, and a. pivoted member formed with said hooks the same together. 7

6. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed from sheet metal and formed to provide two separate base portions with hooks bent engage the sides of said hooks for urging the hooks toward one another.

7. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member cted the outermost edges thereof and yieldingly holding the hooks in spaced diverging relation, said hooks having outermost curved edges and a pivshoulders for engagevide a connector connected to said hooks at the outermost edges thereof and yieldingly holding the hooks in spaced relation and a pivoted member formed with shoulders for engagement with other, said means being positioned in proximity to said connector.

9. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed from sheet metal and formed to provide two separate base portions with hooks bent outwardly therefrom and disposed in diverging relation, and further bent to provide a connector connected to said hooks at the outermost edges thereof and yieldingly holding the hooks in position, said hooks having curved outermost surfaces and being unattached to said base portions throughout the divergent ends thereof to accommodate movement of said hook portions toward one another and a pivoted member formed with shoulders for engagement with said hooks and with lateral portions having parallel edges for engagement with the curved edges of said hooks, said lateral portions urging the hooks together upon application of the pivoted member to the fixed member and causing movement of the base members toward one another and flexing of the free portions of the hooks.

10. A sash hanger comprising a constructed from sheet metal and formed to provide a base with two hooks projecting outwardly therefrom, said hooks being disconnected from" said base at corresponding endsof the hooks to cause the hooks to flex, and a pivoted member formed with shoulders for engagement with said hooks and with lateral portions for engagement with the free ends of the hooks, said hooks restraining lateral movement of the pivoted mem-' ber.

11. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member having a base provided with flanges issuing outwardly therefrom, said flanges having vertically extending outer edges, said edges of the flanges having recesses therein forming hooks, said hooks tongue remaining fixed member I being spaced from one another and free from each other throughout said denoted edges thereof and at the locality thereof, and a pivoted member formed with spaced shoulders adapted to engage said edges of said hooks, said edges guiding the shoulders into said recesses upon raising of the sash and a tongue between said shoulders adapted to enter between aid flanges and to restrain lateral movement of the pivoted member during the aforesaid raising of the sash, said in position between said flanges while the pivoted member is being applied to the fixed member.

12. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed to provide two separate base portions with spaced vertically extending flanges projecting outwardly therefrom, a connector at the upper ends of said flanges, said flanges being free from one another below said connector, said flanges below the connector having hooks formed therein, said hooks having outer edges extending continuously up to the crotches thereof and being free from each other throughout the extent of said edges at the locality of said edges, and a pivoted member formed with two spaced shoulders adapted to engage said edges, said edges guiding the shoulders into engagement with the crotches of the hooks upon raising of the sash, and a tongue on said pivoted member disposed between said shoulders and adapted to enter between said flanges and to restrain lateral movement of the pivoted member during the aforesaid raising of the sash, said tongue remaining in position between said flanges while the pivoted member is being applied to the fixed member.
