Application January 5, 1950, Serial No. 136,867
2 Claims. 1
The present invention relates to window constructions and the like, and, more particularly, relates to window constructions of the type mounted for slidable and pivotal movement.
Heretofore numerous window constructions of the foregoing type have been proposed but none of these, as far as applicant is aware, ever was commercially successful because ofthe difiiculty and expense to manufacture and install the same.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple window construction of the type described which is economical to manufacture and which is easily installed.
Another object is to provide such a window construction which comprises a minimum number of relatively simple parts.
Another object is to provide such a window construction which is as readily installed as any standard window construction of the slidable ash type.
Another object is to provide such a window construction which eliminates the necessity of sash weights, pulleys and cords and other parts which require replacement or repair from time to time.
Another object is to provide such a window construction which is safe in operation and is securely held in its desired slidably or pivotally adjusted position.
A further object is to provide such a window construction which is adapted for use in standard window frames simply by replacing or modifying the jambs whereby the invention maybe utilized in existing or newly constructed buildings.
Other and further objects will be obvious upon an understanding of the illustrative embodiment about to be described, or will be indicated in the appended claims, and various advantages not referred to herein will occur to one skilled in the art upon employment of the invention in practice.
- In accordance with the invention, the foregoing objects are accomplished by providing a window construction comprising a member for each side of the window frame adapted for assembly in the jamb and having a lengthwise extending slot therein, a sash having a groove at each side thereof for slidably receiving one of the members,
and a laterally extending pin at each side of the sash each extending into a slot of one of the 'members. Resilient means are provided for urgsash is easily mounted in the frame or removed therefrom.
A preferred embodiment of the invention has been chosen for purposes of illustration and description and is shown in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of the specification, wherein:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view of a window construction in accordance with the invention as viewed from the interior of a building, with parts broken away to illustrate details thereof.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2-2 on Fig. 1 the sashes being shown in vertical and inclined positions.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 on Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a sectional View taken along the line 44 on Fig. 1.
' Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line 5-5 on Fig. l, the upper sash being shown in inclined position and the lower sash being shown in vertical position.
Referring to the drawings in detail, there is shown a window construction of the type wherein upper and lower sashes are mounted for slidable and pivotal movement; however, it will be appreciated that one of the sashes could be mounted for slidable movement only or could be fixed in the frame as is customary in certain types of window constructions.
Generally described, the Window construction shown comprises a frame HLan upper sash II, a lower sash l2 and elements for slidably and pivotally mounting the sash, as will be explained in detail hereinafter.
The frame comprises a pair of parallel upright side members I 4 known as jambs, a header l5 and a sill IS, the header and sill being inclined outwardly and downwardly, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, for the purpose made apparent hereinafter. Each jamb' has a pair of paralleL'spaced apart rectangular cross-sectioned recesses I! (Figs. 4 and 5) which extend along the length of the jamb and face inwardly of the frame.
The sashes'll and 12, as shown, are rectangular, and comprise a pair of side members IS, an upper cross-member 20 and a lower crossmember 2|. The side members'have an arcuate cross-sectioned groove 22 (Figure 4) at the outer surface thereof and extending along the length thereof. The upper cross-member 2!] ofv the upper sash and the lower cross-member 2| of the lower sash are inclined outwardly and downwardly at substantially the same angle as the header l5 and the sill I6, respectively, whereby ends of the rods.
:movemeht of therod outwardly of itsrecess is limited; In this manner .the rodsare retained -illifGOhIlEICtiOIl.Withlltll jamb when .thesash is held by the spring urged rod to retain the sash in such inclined position.
In order to return the sash to its vertical position, the upper end thereof is pushed outwardly whereby the rod springs back into the sash groove again.
When it is desired to remove a sash, the sash is first inclined and is then slid to a position whereby its pins are disposed in the enlarged slot portions 2.1.. Thisepermitsthe pins to be moved out of the slots upon moving the sash I horizontally in an inward direction with respect A rod, tube, or bar 25 or the equivalent is mov-' v ably mounted in the recess ii of the *jamb M and extends along the length thereof. The rods-are circular in cross-section and extend into the grooves 22 of the sashes (Fig. 4:) to mount .the.
sashes for slidable movement. However, it will be appreciated that the-.grooves and rods could have other cooperating shapes. Each rod has a lengthwise "extending slot 26 therein for pivotally and slidably receiving a pin 24 (-Figs.-4 and 5). .As shown in Fig. '3, the upper and lower ends of the slots are spaced from the respective More specifically, the slots ofthe inner rods, i. e., for thelower sash, have their upper ends spaced from the upper end of "the rod about half the height of the lower sash-and the slots of the'outer rods for the upper sasjhhave their lower ends spaced from the lower end of the rod about half the height of the upper sash. The lower ends of the slots of the inner rods and the upper ends of the slots of the outer rods are spaced from the lower and upperends, respectively, of the rods a distance less than half of the height ofthe respective sashes, and are formed with enlarged portions 21. These portions serve in eifect as a bayonet joint construction for inserting and removing thepins from the slots to thereby facilitate installing and removing thesashes.
Each rod 25 is urged outwardly of its recess IT-by a plurality of spaced-apart spring elements 29 (Fig. 1) "herein-shown as'leaf type springs.
Each 'of the springs is connected to the red by a screw "or bolt 3.8 which extends through an aperture 'in' the jarnb and an aperture I in the spring, and-is threaded or otherwise secured in the-rod. Each of the screws-orbolts' hasa head 3| or other suitable enlargement which .will -not pass through the :aperture of the jaznb, whereby removed.
Whenthe sashes {are .in vertical position, as shownnin :full lines Fig.2 and intFigr 4, the springs 29urge1thezrods into thegrooves :22 .of-ithe sashesandthe'pins 2c are positioned in the-slots 28. Thesashes may thus be raised .and loweredwhile .in'their vertical .positioryand are-adapted to beretained in anydesired-position'by'thevfrictionbetweenthe rods and the surface rormingcgroove. This friction is. Sllfficient -tos0 retainthe sashes because of-the force exerted by. the springs.
When-it is. desired to tilt or incline the sashes, as shown inbrokenline in Fig. 2 andinzFig. 5, the: lower end of thesash ispushed outwardly.

As various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts herein; without-departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and without sacrificing any of its advantages, it is to :be understood'that all matters are .to be interpreted as illustrative and not in any limiting sense.
