Application June 27,`
1 Claim.
My invention relates to antirattling attachments for windows and has particular reference to devices for preventing rattling of Windows by tightening them in the window frames.
My invention has for its object to provide a device which can be easily attached to a window sash and which will resiliently engage the window frame in such a manner that the window will be at all times pressed to one side of the frame. My attachment for this purpose consists of a spring member fastened to one side of the window sash and engaging the inside of a slot in the window frame, thereby pressing the sash against the other side of the frame in the slot.
My attachment has an added advantage in that the window sash, being at all times tightly pressed against the side of the slot in the frame, becomes largely wind-proof and thus prevents cold draft from passing into the room around the sash inthe slot, helping also to conservethe heat in the room.
My invention is more fully described in the accompanying drawing and specification in which- Fig. 1 is a sectional View of a portion of a window sash in the slot in a window frame, showing also my attachment.
Fig. 2 is a fractional front view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a detail end View of the attachment.
Fig. 4 is a fractional sectional view of a window sash and window frame with a modified f antirattling attachment.
Fig. 5 is a fractional front view of the same.
Fig. 6 is an .edge View of the attachment shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
Fig. 7 is an edge view of a modified attachment.
Fig. 8 is a front view of the same.
Fig. 9 is a sectional View of a window sash in a frame with a modied attachment.
Fig. 10 is a front View of the attachment shown in Fig. 9.
Fig. 11 is a front View of a modified attachment.
Fig. 12 is van edge view of the same.
Figs. 13 and 14 are views of a modified device. Fig. 15 is a detailed view of another modification.
My attachment as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in one of its modifications, consists 'of a spring plate I preferably made of steel, galvanized, plated or otherwise rendered unoxidizable. Stainless carbon steel can be also used to advantage, as well as phosphor bronze or similar hard alloys. 'Ihe plate has holes for screws 2 and 3 with which it is fastened to a window sash 4. The plate I is so shaped that it stands out from the side of the sash 4, being resiliently wedged between the sash 1939, serial No. 281,357
and the side of a slot 5 in a window frame 6. The free end of the plate I has a transversely enlarged portion I curved as shown so that it bears against the side of the slot 5 by its middle portion, the ends being bent away. This is important in order to prevent the ends of the sliding portion I from rubbing the side of the slot 5. The ends are bent out at 'I' for the same purpose. The tension of the plate can be adjusted by the screw 2 which bears against the curved portion of the plate I.
A modified device is shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. The spring plate 8 has an angular extension 9 of an arcuate shape so bent that it bears at its ends against the side of the window sash 4 while its middle raised portion bears against the inner side of the slot 5. The end I0 of the angular portion 9 isslightly raised in order to prevent the edges of the spring plate from scratching the inner side of `the window frame 6.
Another modication is shown in Figs. 7 and 8, this being a wholly concealed type. The spring plate II is curved in the shape of an arc so that its ends rest against the side of the Window sash ll while the middle raised portion presses against the inner side of frame 6 in the slot 5. The ends of the plate Il are slotted lengthwise at I2 for screws I3. The screws provide sulicient clearance under ltheir heads to permit of a sliding movement of the plate II when it is depressed. This device must be mounted on the window sash before the latter is fitted in its place in the window frame.
Another modification is shown in Figs. 9 and 10. A plate I4 has a roller I5 at the end of an angular extension I6, the roller engaging the inner side of the slot 5. A groove II is provided for the roller I5 inside the slot 5. The roller can be also placed lengthwiseof the plate I8 as shown in Figs. 11 and l2, the plate being fastened transversely of the window frame by screws tted in the holes I9.
Another modification is shown in Figs. 13 and 14. The device consists of a straight spring plate 29 with holes I9 for attaching it to the Window sash, the roller I5 being used to provide sliding engagement with the inside surface of the frame in the slot 5. This form of the device has an advantage that it is fully concealed but it must be fitted in place with `the window sash removed from the frame.
Still another modification is shown in Fig. 15. The sash has a transverse bore for a metal tube 2I. The roller I5 is fitted in a slide 22 in the tube 2I and is urged outward by a spring 23. This d evice also must be tted into the sash when the latter is removed from the frame.
It is understood that my antirattling attachment for windows may be further modied Without departing from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the appended claim.
I claim as my invention:
An antirattling attachment for a Window comprlsing a T-shaped spring, the middle member of the spring having holes at the end for screws for fastening the end of the member to a Window sash transversely to the edge of the sash, the middle member being bent so as to resiliently press against the inner side of a slot for the Window sash in the Window frame, the cross-member of the spring being curved longitudinally so as to place its end points away from the inner side of the s1ot, the pressure of the spring against the innei1 side of the slot being adapted to be adjusted by the screws.
