STORM WINDOW Filed Dec. 8, 1949 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Benjamin Wilson Patented Feb. 2, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE STOR WINDOW Benjamin S. Wilson, Akron, Ohio Application December 8, 1949, Serial No. 131,789
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to window construction, and more particularly to an improved storm sash construction.
Storm sashes of different types and designs have been provided for emplacement on the outside of windows; however, it has usually required an expert to properly fit these windows to get the full benefit thereof. It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a storm window construction whereby even an unskilled and untrained Worker can readily install such sashes in any window opening.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel construction of window stop for retaining the storm sash comprising one element of the present invention in a secure, weather-proof, and detachable manner.
Still further objects of the invention reside in the provision of a storm window construction that is strong, durable, highly efiicient in operation, substantially weather-proof, easy to manufacture and install, relatively inexpensive and quite pleasing to the eye.
These, together with the various additional objects of the invention which will become apparent as the following description proceeds, are attained by this storm window construction, a preferred embodiment of which has been illustrated, by way of example only, in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the preferred embodiment of the storm window construction;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view as taken along line 2-2 in Figure l;
Figure 3 is a perspective partially exploded view showing the upper and lower sections of the storm sash comprising an important element of the invention;
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view as taken along line 44 in Figure 5; and
Figure 5 is a horizontal sectional view as taken along line 5-5 in Figure 1.
With continued reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate similar parts throughout the various views, I!) generally represents the window frame or casing upon which the novel storm window construction is adapted to be fitted. A wedgeshaped window stop or stop member I 2 is secured by any convenient means to the frame or casing l D for reception of the storm window sash as will be further described.
The window stop I2 is formed in a wedge shape having its inner face bevelled at an angle coning those seasons that verging inwardly. A plurality Qf recesse ii are formed in e stops l; an a p ri hera er s 6 is formed m d ally 9f the Hill surfac of the stop. A resilientstrip, which may be conveniently formed from sponge rubber or any other similar material and designated by reference numberal I8, is emplaced in the peripheral groove 3- The w n w stops a e p efera l left in position throughout the year, Obviously, wi w c ens may e secured t0 the steps du he s c m sashes ne d n be used.
The storm sashes are preferably made in two sections, upper section 20 and lower section 22. Each of the sections is formed with recesses 24 opening at the sides and in which cams 26 are emplaced for selective engagement within the recesses I4 in the stops l2. The cams 26 are formed with ofiset portions so that a more secure engagement can be had. Additionally, by means of headed pins 28, the cams may be easily rotated to an engaging or disengaging position. The uper sash 20 has its top and side edges bevelled to correspond to the wedge-shaped window stop I2. The side edges alone of the lower sash 22 are formed with bevelled edges. The lower surface of the upper sash and the upper surface of the lower sash, respectively, are formed with an aligned stepped configuration, as at 30 and 32. A resilient strip 34, preferably formed of sponge rubber, is positioned over the stepped portion 32 on the lower frame member and secured thereto by gluing or any other convenient means. The lower surface of the lower sash 22 is horizontal, as best shown in Figure 2.
The peripheral edge of the combined upper and lower sash is provided with a groove therein as designated by reference numeral 36 for reception of resilient strips 38. The strips 38, like the tubing I8, is preferably formed from sponge rubber or other similar material such as synthetic rubber-like plastics. The storm sashes 20 and 22 themselves are provided with inner moldings about their frames as shown at 40 and exteriorly thereof putty 12 is used to retain the window panes in place. However, it is obvious that any other conventional means may be used to secure the window panes to the frames of the sashes 20 and 22.
The installation of these storm sashes is most simple. After the stops l2 have been positioned and secured to the window casing or frame, the sashes 20 and 22 are positioned against the stops with the overlapping portions of the strips l8 and 38 compressing as they are forced against to a disengaged each other to permit the strips 38 to engage behind the strips 18, as shown in Figure 5. Using an ordinary screwdriver, the cam pins 28 may be turned as the sashes are pressed in the direction of arrow A so that the convexed edges 23 of the angulated ends 25 of cams 26 will enter the recesses [4 to cam against the vertical walls Ma of the recesses I4 and move the sash substantially horizontally in the direction of arrow A to compress the strips l8 and 38 into sealing contact with the bevelled faces of the sashes and the stops, respectively, and thereby seal out wind,
dust, rain and the like to form an air look as at 44 between the strips [8 and 38 which will have a great insulating efiect.
Obviously, this construction of storm windows is readily adaptable for use in doors androther apparatus. Since the stormwindows may be readily removed by merely turning the earns 26 position, they may be easily cleaned and replaced.
Since, from the foregoing, the construction and advantages of this storm window construction is readily apparent, further description is believed to be unnecessary.
However, since numerous modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art after a consideration of the foregoing specification and accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the invention to the precise embodiment of storm window construction shown and described, but all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to which fall within the scope of the appended claim.
'with convexed edges for entering the recesses Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A storm window construction comprising a pair of spaced parallel vertically disposed wedgeshaped window stops, a sash having vertical portions, said stops and said sash having complemental beveled vertical edges, complemental registering recesses in said vertical portions and said stops, a vertical sealing strip secured to each of said vertical edges, horizontal pins rotatably supported on said vertical portions and extending into the recesses in said vertcal portions, cam members fixed on said pins and positioned in the recesses in said vertical portions, said cam members having angulated end portions provided in the stops to ride against a vertical wall of each recess in the stops as the pins are rotated in one direction to force the sealing strips on the stops against the beveled edges of said sash and the sealing strips on the sash against the beveled edges of the stops.
