Application September 4, 1945, Serial No. 614,182

2 Claims. (01. 20-48) My present invention relates to improvements in windows and, more particularly, to a double hung window.

The objects of this invention are: first, to provide a window having all of the advantages of a double hung window combined with those of a casement window; second, to provide a sash of a double hung window with duplex casement windows spaced apart to leave a relatively deep air insulating space therebetween; third, to provide novel means for mounting the glass pane of a casement window; and fourth, to provide novel means for hinging a casement window.

These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the drawings.

To the above end, generally stated, the invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement, hereinafter described and defined in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is an elevation of a double hung window having the invention embodied therein;

Fig. 2 is an elevation of one of the casement windows before the same is mounted in one of the sash and having its binding partly applied thereto;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view partly in plan and partly in section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1, on the same scale as Fig. 3 and showing the windows open instead of closed as shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail view in elevation showing the hinge connection between the inner casement window and the sash;

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary detail view in section taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5;

Fig. 7 is a, plan view of the upper hin ed stud and a portion of the connected binding;

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary side elevation of one of the casement windows with certain parts thereof segregated, and on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 9 is a plan view of the parts shown in Fig. 8; and

Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 4, but on a reduced scale and showing a slight modification.

The upper and lower sash I2 of the double hung window, shown in Fig. 1, are mounted in a frame I3. The sash I2 are somewhat different from the standard sash in that the bead I4 is on the outside thereof instead of on the inside and takes the place of the customary putty joint. Formed in the inner face of the sash I2 i a rectangular rabbet I5. A second rabbet I6, similar to the rabbet I5, is formed in the sash I2 back of the bead I4.

Inner and outer casement windows l! are mounted in the rabbets I5 and I6, respectively, of each sash I2. The casement windows I! are identical the one with the other with the exception that the outer window I! is necessarily slight- 1y smaller than the inner window I! to permit the formation of the rabbet I6 therefor.

Each casement window I! includes a rectangular glass pane I8 and a binding I9 therefor. This binding I9 is a metal channel, the longitudinal edge portions of which are folded inwardly upon the sides of said channel to trim and reinforce the binding I9 and also afford fillets 20.

Three sections of the bindin I9, indicated by the numeral 2I, are rigidly connected at right an les to each other. The other or fourth section of the binding I9 is indicated by the numeral 22. End portions of the sections 2| are turned outwardly and rolled to form axially aligned cores 23 for hinge studs, as will presently appear. The sides of the sections 2| at their ends are beveled at 24.

The sides of the section 22 at the end portions thereof, are beveled and notched at 25. The end portions 26 of the section 22 outwardly of the notches and bevels 25 are of the same length as the cores 23.

To mount one of the glass panes I8 in its binding I9, said pane is first slid edgewise into the sections 2|. Then section 22 is placed over the other or exposed edge portion of the glass pane I8. The end portions 26 of the section 22 are rolled around the cores 23 to rigidly connect the sections 2| and 22 and also form hinge studs 21. The attachment of the section 22 to the section 2| brings their beveled edges 24 and 25 into abutting relation and form miter joints between said sections.

Upper and lower double hinge plates 28, for the hinge studs 21-, are secured to each sash I2 by screws 29. These hinge plates 28 are bent to fit in the rabbets I 5 and I6 and have holes 30 through which the hinge studs 21 extend. Obviously, the

hinge plates 28 mount the duplex casement windows I! in the sash I2 for inward swinging movement where they may be easily cleaned. Either the sash I2 or the easement windows I! may be opened for the purpose of ventilation.

Secured in the rabbet I5 is a Weatherstrip 3| on which the respective casement window I! seats.

The rabbets l5 and I6 are located to position the casement windows H a considerable distance apart in order to leave an eflicient air insulating space between said windows. The duplex casement windows I! eliminate the necessity of the customary storm window. 7

It is intended that the casement windows I! for double hung sash be carried in stock. In case one of the windows in a double hung sash is broken, it would only be necessary ito remove the same, by detaching the hinge plates 28, and substitutin a new one therefor. The use of my casement window eliminates all glazing operations.

At the time the glass pane 18 is mounted in its binding l 9, cement 32 may be placed 'in sai dbind ing to firmly connect the glass pane l-8 and the binding I9. The fillets 20 prevent the cement-I32 from squeezing between the glass pane l'irand its binding l9. The sides of the binding [9, before ing the same closed. Likewise, the easement windows may be provided with suitable devices for holding the same open.

WhatIclaim is: V

1. In a casement window, a glass pane, and a binding in which said pane is mounted, said binding comprising a main' section and an auxiliary section, the end portions of the main section'being turned outwardly into axial alignment,

converging relation-so that theyarer'sprun'g apart by'the placing of the gl-a'sspane I 8 therein. This causes thefibinding' 19 toipinch .the;g1'assq)ane 1'8 and prevent rattle and reduce air leakage.

"Referring now to the modification shown in Fig. 10, parts thalt ciorrespond to like parts inthe other views l'iave been g iven the samereference numerals followe'd by a prime. The only dif- 'ference in the 'structureshownin Fig. 10 'is that the easement windows are hinged on opposite sides of the sash.

From what has been said, it will be understood that the invention described is fcapable-of modi- 'fic'ations as to details of construction --and arrangement within thescope of the "invention herein. disclosed and-claimed. 7

It will,"of course, be understood that the double hung window and the casement winftlowswil'l be provided with suitable fa's'teining' devices 'f0r"hOlfi-;

said'auxili'ary section having-end extensions that are interlocked "with the outturned end portions of the main section to rigidly connect the two "sections and form hinge studs.

In a casement Window, a glass pane, and a channel binding in which said pane is mounted,

said binding comprising a main section and an auxiliary section, the end portions of the main section being turned outwardly into axial alignment and folded to form cores, said auxiliary section having end extensions that are folded :around said cores to rigidly i'ccnnectthe two sec- 'tions and form hinge studs 7 JOHN K.
