This.- invention is an construction. espeially windowsghavingmovably mounted,- sashes to be openedrand closed'y-and manipulated for, cleaning. n
An important'obeci'cvf tl'sfinvention is to providesa window casinfgwiitlrfsashes whichcany beiopenedfand closediaatzwiil, andare sodisposed that they can be easily adjusted for cleaning, in away that permits them to be washed and wiped from the interior of the building or apart-l ment equipped with such windows, and does not require the operator even to lean over the sill to reach the outer surfaces of the panes of glass carried by the sashes.
Another object is to provide a window construction of simple design and inexpensive to produce with relatively few parts in a light and strong assembly that can be readily handled and is most unlikely to get vout of order.
The nature and advantages of the invention are made clear in the following description and the novel features are pointed out in the appended claim. But this disclosure is illustrative only and variations in details of form, size and arrangement of the constituent members can be adapted Without omitting any -of the essential characteristics of the device.
On the drawings, Y
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a window incorporating the invention.
Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Figure l,
Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional detail showing on a large scale the construction at the lower end of Figure 2.
The window construction includes a frame or casing I which has a top 2, sides 3 and a bottom 4'. The sides are connected at their midpoints by` a horizontal cross bar 5. This casing is set to fill an opening in a wallW, and the sides 3 and the lower faces of the top 2 and cross piece "r claim. (c1.- zong-.53)
improvement in window 5 have shoulders 6 which face to the insideof o the wall in which4 the window casing is mounted. In this casing are an upper sash frame 1 between the top 2 and the cross piece 5; and a lower sash frame 8 between `the piece 5 and bottom 3, both of which are hinged respectively to the piece 5 and the bottom 3 and can be secured in position to occupy and ll the space enclosed by the frame I. Each of the frames 1 and 8 has'a vertical bar or rail 9 dividing the frames into equal halves, one at each side thereof.
The space in each frame at both sides of the bar 9 receives a framed window pane of glass Ill, hinged as indicated at II to opposite sides of tl1e-.frame,. and'fbearing a catchv l-Z-t-oengagea platenzlaon. the bar 5 toA hold the "rramedgl'ass panes :inrclosed position. The` inner edges ofthe sides andtop of thef frames 's'fand -l and-both edges"- of vthe: vertical' bar '9 have shoulders I4;
facing outward for-"the fram-ed" glass panesf In tengagefalong their sideswhen the panes are s uti; the bottoms of the frames 1 and 8, or any other means to make the framed panes IB flt snugly and prevent drafts of air may be used. When the catches I2 are released, the framed glass panes can be swung outward and opened. The shoulders I4 on the bars 9 are farther out and are engaged by vertical ribs I5 on the free edges of the frames for the panes I0. y
The hinges for connecting the frames 1 and B along their bottoms to the casing I are shown at I6, along the inner edges of the bottom 4 and cross piece 5. This bottom 4 and the top of the piece 5 have shoulders I1 facing outward, and the outer edges of the lower bars of the frames 1 and 8 have projections or ribs I3 that form shoulders facing inward. The shoulders I8 overlap the shoulders I1 and, with the shoulders vIi, make the window tight all around the frames 'I and 8.
When the frames 1 and 8 are closed, they are held in that position by catches I9 at the tops engaging the upper part 2 and piece 5 of the casing I. Both of these frames can be adjusted for cleaning the outer faces of the framed panes IIJ by undoing the catches I9 and swinging the frames 1 and 8 inward and downward along their lower edges, by reason of the hinges I6 connecting them to the casing I, In that position, the cleaner can reach the glass from the inside of the apartment and does not have to be on the outside of the building or even lean out of the window. The :piece 5 Yhas projections 20 on which the upper frame 1 rests when lowered inward; and the lower frame 8 is connected to the frame I at each side by a pair of links ZI with straight sides, pinned to the sides of this frame and the sides 3, which have recesses 22 for clearance, and to each other to limit the downward and inward movement of the frame 8. The framed glass is omitted from the lower part of Figure 2 for convenience, only` the hinges II being shown in that figure.
This construction makes a tight window frame which is sealed against the outside air and weather by the engagement of the frames 1 and 8 with the shoulders 6 and I1 of the casing I, and the engagement of the framed glass I0 with the shoulimilar` shoulders: may be formed along ders I4 in the frames l and 8. The framed glass can be opened and closed at any time; and either the upper or lower frame 'l and 8 can be swung inward to open the window for cleaning the outside of the glass. The construction is especially desirable for upper story windows because it eliminates the risk of the cleaner falling, and at the same time the window serves perfectly all the in tended purposes of said window. y
The invention thus is a very practical device. inexpensive to manufacture and easy to mount and operate, and is well calculated to give all of the advantages for which the invention was made. Of course any suitable materials, such as wood, metal, plastic or other substances can be employed in the construction of the window.
Having described my invention, what I Ibelieve to be new is:
A window construction comprising a Ycasing Y comprising a top, a bottom and sides, a cross piece uniting the midpoints of the sides, a sash frame hinged at its lower edge to the bottom and a 4 frames, the bottom and upper side of the cross piece having outward facing shoulders, the lower ends of said frames having ribs along their edges projecting downward to cover the last-named shoulders, each of said frames having a Vertical bar joining the top and bottom at the middle, said frames and said bar having outward facing shoulders, framed Window panes hinged to the opposite sides of the 4frames and engaging said shoulders, catches forsaid framed panes to engage the Vertical bar thereof; and means for limiting the inward and downward movement of the sash frames in said casing.
