Fig. 1l is a perspective view similar to Fig. 6 of the parts of the sash hanger shown in Fig. 9.
For the purpose of illustrating the application of my invention, I have shown in Fig. 1 a window, indicated in its entirety by the reference numeral il). This window comprises a window frame `II which includes a casing I2 having a header I3 and a sill I4 connected therewith. The frame proper includesvertical frame members I5 which have attached to them stops I6 and-I1 to slidably support the usual upper and lower window sash I8 and I9. The sash I8 is formed with stiles 2| and rails 22 connected therewith, while the lower sash I9 is similarly constructed. Both sash include window panes 23 mounted in the stiles and rails of the sash in the usual manner.
In conjunction with the window I0 a storm sash 2 has been illustrated which is constructed with Stiles 25, an upper rail 26, a lower rail 2'! and an intermediate rail 28. vThese various rails have mounted in them window panes 29, the same as the sash I 8 and I9 of the window proper.
greater than the diameter of the hole 4|.
The storm sash.2liv is hingedly connected to the frame II by means of hinges 3| which are attached to the header I3 of the casingY I2 and the upper ends of the stiles 25 and the rail 26 of said sash. The sash may be opened and closed by means of a pull 81 attached to the rail 21.
In conjunction with the storm sash 2 4 two sash fasteners and holders 32 and 33 are employed which are identical in construction, excepting that one is right handed and the other is left handed. Due to the similarity in construction, only the sash fastener and holder 32 will be described, which has been shown in detail in Figs. 2 to 8 of the drawings.
The sash fastener and holder 32 comprises two jointed arms 34 and 35 which are hingedly connected together by means of a friction joint 36. The arm 34 is hingedly attached to a mounting 31 fast on the stop |1 of window I0, while the arm 35 is detachably secured to a bracket 36 attached to the stile'25 of storm sash 24. These parts will now be described in detail.
The arms 34 and 35 are constructed of sheet material being elongated in form and are rounded at their ends. The arm 34 has a circular hole 39 in one end thereof and another circular hole 4| of larger dimensions in the opposite end. Intermediate the two holes 39 and 4| is formed a rib 42 which is stamped out of the metal from which the arm is constructed and which projects Aoutwardly from the surface of the arm. Arm 35 is similarly constructed with a square hole 43, at one end, whose diagonal dimensions are not This arm is constructed at its other end with a pintle 44 rigidly attached thereto which projects outwardly from the arm, as illustrated in Fig. 6. The arm 35 is also constructed with a bead 41 similar to the bead 42 which projects'outwardly beyond the surface of the said arm and stiffens and reinforces the same. This bead serves an additional function, which will hereinafter be more fully described.
The joint 36 of the sash fastener and holder includes an elongated locking member 45 which is constructed of sheet material and which is formed at one end with a square hole 46 similar to the hole 43 of arm 35. This locking member has two ears 48 projecting upwardly from the other end thereof. These ears are adapted to be received Within two notches 49 in the edges of the arm 35, when the parts are properly assembled and prevent rotation of the member 45 with respect to the arm 35. A lug projecting, outwardly from the member 45, engages the arms 35 within the hollow of the bead 41 and holds the member 45 properly spaced relative to arm 35. The joint 36 further includes two fibre or other non-metallic washers 53 and 54 formed 43 and 46. ployed having a threaded shank 58 at one end of the same and a head 59 at the other end of the same. Adjacent the head 59 the said bolt is, constructed with a circular bearing portion 6I adapted to be received within the hole 4| of arm 34. The said bolt is further constructed with a square portion 62 between the threaded end 58 and the bearing portion 6| which is adapted to be received within the various holes 56, 46 and 55 of Y the washers 54 and 53 and the locking member 45. When the parts are assembled in the relation shown in Fig. 6 and thebolt 51 placed through the various openings in the parts, and,`
vided between the ywasher 54 and the surfaces of the member 45 and arm 34, which resists rotation of the two arms and holds the sash fastener in adjusted position. Due to the fact that the member 45 is held from rotation with reference to the arm 35 by means of the ears 48 and the notches 49 in the edges of said arm, both the head and nut of the bolt 5| travel in unison so that unscrewing of the nut by manipulation of the parts of the fastener is prevented.
The mounting 31 is constructed from sheet material and is preferably elongated in form, being provided with an off-set central portion 64 and base portions 65 and 66 connected therewith. A rivet 61 passes through a hole 68 in the off-set portion 64 and through the hole 39 in the arm 34, thus serving to pivotally attach the arm to said mounting. The mounting 31 is further constructed with holes 69 which extend through the base members 65 and 66 and through which screws 1| may pass, which are screwed into the stop |1 to attach the mounting to the frame I of window I0.
For the purpose of connecting the sash fastener and holder to the storm sash 24, the bracket 38 is employed. This bracket is constructed f with square holes 55 and 56, similar to the holes"- A specially constructed bolt 51 is emfrom sheet metal which is bent to provide a base 12 and a flange 13 projecting outwardly therefrom. Base 12 is provided with holes 14 through which screws 15 may be driven to attach the said bracket to the stile 25 of sash 24. The flange 13 is provided with a hole 16 at its end, which freely receives the pin 44 on the arm 35 and which serves to pivotally connect said arm to the storm sash 24. Flange 13 is so constructed as to provide a head 16 at the outer portion of the same encircling the hole 10. In detachably securing the sash hanger to the storm sash 24. the said sash is partly opened and the arm 35 sprung suiciently to the side to permit the end of the pin 44 to ride upon'the outer surface of the flange 13 of bracket 38. By shifting the arm about, the pin 44 can be made to enter the hole 16, whereupon the parts are in proper position.
To maintain the parts of the sash fastener and holder in assembled position, a lever 11 is employed which is pivoted intermediate its ends to the arm 35 by means of a rivet 18 extending through said lever and arm and riveted over on ythe opposite side of said arm, as designated at 19 in Fig. 4. 'I'he lever 11 has a pointed finger 8| projecting in the direction of the pin 44 which is off-set from the arm 35 a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the head 16 of bracket 38. When the lever 11 is swung to the position shown in dotted lines at 82 in Fig. 2, the finger 8| is moved away from the pin 44 and the said pin may be applied to the bracket 38 by insertion into the hole 10. When the lever 11 is moved to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2, the finger 8| overlies the head 16 and restrains relative axial movement between the arm 35 and the bracket 38.
At the end of the lever 11 is provided a linger piece 83 which is bent outwardly therefrom so as to permit of ready manipulation of the lever. Intermediate the finger piece 83 and rivet 18 the lever is bent outwardly, as designated at 84 to clear the bead 41. This provides a ridge 85 substantially at the plane of the surface of the arm 35 on which the lever 11 is mounted. 'I'he ridge 85 has a concavity y86 formed therein which is adapted to receive the bead 41. I'he parts are so constructed that the ridge 85 rides over the bead a nut 63 screwed upon the same, friction is pro-"15 41 with considerable resistance and so that. when the: saidlbead becomes received within the cavity "86 'considerable pressureis still exertedV by the nger 8| upon the head A16 of bracket 38. Thus the-'said head is urged against the surface of the arm 35 from which the pin 44 issues and suicient friction is had between the arm and bracket to prevent rattling of the sash.
'Issuing outwardly from the locking member 45 is an elongated lug 88 which is adapted to engage the edge 89 of the arm 34 to restrain swinging movement of said arm'relative to the arm 35 after the arms are brought into overlying position. A finger piece 9|, on the end of the arm 34, becomes spaced from the sash to which the fastener and holder is applied and assists in swinging the `fastener and holder in a direction away from the sash. This finger piece is adapted to engage the end of the lug 88 and forms a stop for limiting relative swinging movement of the two arms 34 and 3=5`toprevent the arms from becoming deadlocked and interfering with the closing of the sash through the pull 81.
' The method of use and the operation of the invention are as follows: The fasteners and holders are attached tothe stop I1 of the window and tothe stiles of the storm sash 24, as shown in Fig. 1, and so that the pivots formed by the rivet 61 and the pin 44 are the same distance from the axes of the hinges 3| of the storm sash. Thus, when the parts are positioned, as shown in Fig. 3, the two arms34 and 35 of each of the fastener and holders overlie one another. When the sash is open, the parts assume the position shown in Fig. 2. When the sash is drawn closed by means of the pull 81, the parts assume the positionshown in Fig. 3. Upon now swinging the two" arms 34 and 35 ofthe sash fastener and holder jointly upwardly through engagement with the finger piece 9| the parts may be brought intoA y In such position the`- vlug 88 restrains relative movement between the the position shown in Fig. 5.
arms in a direction tending to open the sash 24 and the sash becomes locked in closing position. When the sash is swung outwardly to its fullest extent,
as shown in Fig. 2, finger 9| engages the end of lug 88 and prevents further swinging. When the sash is in any of its open positions the arm 34 may be disengaged therefrom by swinging the e lever 11 to the position shown in dotted lines at been illustrated. Inasmuch as the remainder of tongue is constructed with a hole |94 which falls opposite the hole in the arm through which the rivet |18 extends. Rivet |18 also projects through the hole |94 and when riveted over holds y, the locking member v| rigidlyattached .to the arm |35. The manner of installation and the `operation ofl the `structures shown .in"-Figs.f-'9 vto 1l inclusive is thesarne asvpr'eviously described. This modification has, however, `the advantage that themember |45 is positively held in position 'through rivet |18, whereby strain on lthe said disengagement cannot occur unless the said lever is moved to disengaging position regardless of the position of the storm sash with reference to the window. Due to the arrangement of the'nger piece for operating the sash with reference to the locking lug, the two arms cannot swing into alignment by merely exerting a pull on the window pull. With my invention the lever is firmly held in position through the bead on the arm and the notch formed on said lever. By means of the construction shown, the locking member for the friction joint bolt serves to engage the edge of the arm movable relative thereto to restrain relative movement between the arms when the arms become disposed in overlying position. The invention is extremely simple to construct and the parts thereof may be easily assembled. By rotating the nut on the end of the vjoint bolt the friction betweenthe friction washer and the surfaces of the arm and locking member, between which it operates, can be adjusted'to meet the requirements. With my invention a lock nut or lock washer for preventing rotation of the nut relative to the bolt is unnecessary, the nut being positively kept in position so as to maintain the desired adjustment.
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.
