Dec. 7, 1954 J. B. BOURNE ET AL WINDOW FRAME ASSEMBLY Filed Sept. 50, 1949 1N VEN TORS JOSEPH B. BOURNE 8 BY CLIFFORD CROOME United States Patent WINDOW FRAME ASSEMBLY Joseph B. Bourne and Clifford Croome,'San Diego, Calif.
Application September 30, 1949, Serial No. 118,912
Claims. (Cl. 189-75) ,O.ur invention relates to a window frame and sash and the ob ects of our invention are: First, to provide a window fram e and sash comprising a frame having resilient portions in which the sash may be frictionally engaged and securely held therein against displacement. Second, to PI'OVldC a window frame and sash :of this class in which the sash may be snapped into the frame whereby force tending to remove the sash from the frame causes increased tightening of the sash in frame. Third, to provide a window frame and sash of this class which is very versatile in fitting the window openings in wall ,studding whereby ample tolerance is provided for the accommodation of considerable discrepancies. Fourth, to provide a window frame and sash of this class which saves considerable time of the builder in installing. windows in the walls of a house or the like. frame and sash of this class which is very easy .to install and which very efficiently excludes the elements from the. interior thereof. Sixth, to provide a window frame. and sash of this class which promotes the complete finishing of buildings preliminary to the installation of the sash which may be snapped into the frame after all other finishing work has been completed. Seventh, to provide a window frame and sash of this class incorporating a frame having a channel portion surrounding the same in which plaster or stucco may be very efficiently interlocked rendering the window weather-proof and preventing the cracking of plaster around the frame. Eighth, to provide a window frame and sash of this class which is very simple and economical in construction, efficient in operation and which will not readily deteriorate or get out .of order.
With these and other objects in View, as will appear hereinafter, our invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described in :detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon forming a part .of this application in which: Fig. l is a side elevational view of our window frame and sash, Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional viewtaken from the line 22 of Fig. 1 showing the same on a large scale and illustrated by dash lines the relative positions of wall studding and plaster and Fig. 3 is a similar of straight sections connected together at miter joints of corners of the frame. The cross-sectional arrangement of the frame 1 as shown 1n Fig. 2 of the drawings provides .an extended nailing flange in having openings 1b therein to which nails may be projected into studding as illustrated by dash lines A, Fig. 2 ofthe drawings. Integral with the nailing flange 1a and forming a part thereof is the channel shaped structure 10 which provides for the interlocking relationship of plaster as illustrated by dash lines C relative to frame 1. At the upper horizontal portion of the frame 1, secured to one leg of the channel shaped in cross-section structure leis the drip cap 8 which is a straight angularly extending member having aclipped portion 8a frictionally engagedwith the leg of the channel Fifth, to provide a window shaped portion 10 which extends outermost and in spaced relationship from the flange In, it being noted that this drip cap 8 is adapted to shield the frame 1 from water which runs down the outer surface of the plaster c of the window frame 1. Integral with the nailing flange 1a and the channel shaped structure 10 is an extending resilient inclined portion 1d having a relatively thin edge 1e which is engageable with a corner bead portion 2a of the snap-in frame 2, or as shown best in Fig. 2 of the drawings. It will be noted that the inclined portion 1d is extended around the four sides of the frame 1 so that these inclined portions 1d converge inwardly toward each other and are relieved from each other at the corners of frame 1 so that they may be readily deflected outwardly by the bead portions 2a of the snap-in frame 2 when said snap-in frame 2 is moved from the dash line position as shown in Fig. 3, of the drawings, to the solid line engaged position wherein the snap-in frame 2 is frictionally engaged in the frame 1 at its bead portions 2a by the edge 1e of the inclined portions 1d. Adjacent to the inclined portions 1d is an offset portion 1f which provides for the placement of mastic 9 between the frame 1 and the snap-in frame 2. The sash frame 3, shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, is formed of a similar extrusion or section to the snap-in frame 2 and as shown in Fig; l of the drawings this sash frame 3 is hinged by the means of hinges 6 and 7 to the snap-in frame 2. It will be noted that the sash frames 3 and the snap-in frame 2 are substantially Z-shaped in cross-section and provided with accurate bead portions at their corners. These accurate bead portions 2a serve to strengthen the sections and also provide for the interlocking of the snap-in frame 2 with the edge le of the frame 1 as hereinbefore described. It will be noted that 2 planes of theZ-shaped in cross-section frame members 2 and 3 as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings bear against each other when the sash frame 3 is closed relative to the snap-in frame 2 which provides for an efficient weather seal. As shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the glass, pane 4 is secured in the snap-in frame 2 by means of putty 4a, while the arrangement, shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, illustrates the secondary sash frame pivoted to the snap-in frame 2, thus the window pane 4, if desired, may be secured by putty or otherwise into the snap-in frame 2 if his not desired to provide for ventilation through the particular window.
The operation of our window frame and sash is substantially as follows: The liberal extension of the'nailing flange 1a of the frame 1 provides for the adaptation of the frame 1 to openings within the studding A which may vary a considerable amount without being critical to the proper securement of the frame 1 within the wall opening. The nailing flange 1a is secured to the studding as illustrated by dash line A in Fig. 2 of the drawing by positioning a nail in the opening lb and driving the same into the studding A. It will be noted that several of these openings 11) are provided in the nailing flange portions in of the frame 1 forsecurely connecting said frame 1 to the wall studding A as desired. The channel portion 1c provides an interlock for the plaster as illustrated by dash line C. and its extended leg forms an edge over which the clipped portion 8A of the drip cap '3 may be secured as desired. The drip cap 8, when flxed to the leg of the channel portion lc extends outwardly and downwardly and provides a rain shed for the frame 1, all as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. The portion of the frame 1 extending from the nailing flange inwardly to the edge 1e, as hereinbefore described, is resilient so that the inclined portion 1d may be deflected outwardly when the snap-in frame 2 is forced inwardly from the dash line position to the solid line position as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. As the bead portions 2a slide past the inwardly extending edge portions of the inclined portions ld which converge toward each other the edge portions is move inwardly beyond the bead portions 2a and securely lock the snap-in frame 2 within the outlines of the frame It so that pressure exerted on the snap-in frame 2 toward the dash line position, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, causes the inclined portions id to be forced inwardly into binding position against the bead portions 2a whereupon the snap-in frame 2 is more securely held in proportion to the force applied which tends to remove it to the dash line position 3; thus the snap-in frame 2 is very securely held in the frame 1 and the mastic 9 in the offset portion 1d of the frame 1 provides for a water-proof seal of the snap-1n frame 2 against the frame 1 which excludes the elements from the interior of the frame 1. The double bearing of the sash frame 3 relative to the snap-in frame 2 at the parallel portions of the Z-shaped in cross-section frames 2 and 3 provide for efficient sealing against the elements so that a very efficient window frame and sash is provided employing the structure as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The structure shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, together with the pane 4 and putty 4a, prov1d cs for an equally efficient seal as hereinbefore described m con nection with the structural arrangement as disclosed in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
It will be here noted that the sloping portion 1g of the frame serves as a sill for the window which provides for drainage and installation economy.
Though we have shown and described the particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions, we do not wish to be limited to this particular construction, combination and arrangement but desire to include in the scope of our invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.
