Unitedstates Patent 2,761,182 v REMOVABLE WINDOW SASHAND GUIDE RAIL THEREFOR Gordon W. Love, Birmingham, and Charles A. Pelizzari,
Royal Oak, Mich.
This invention relates to removable window sash for building structures, and in particular to a new, novel and inventive attaching screw receiving cup and spring combination which provides for screw head-to-sash clearance on one side of the cup and provides a boss on the other or inside of the cup for annexing the spring thereto prior to and after assembly and so that the attaching screw both attaches the sash guide and also runs down through the middle of thespring iixingythe spring in a definitely located position. i t
The utility and economy of removable sash in window frames in building structures is'well established as these devices save the user and installer much valuable time and render his work easierj so that he can work more hours per day. The utility of removable sash is occasioned by the fact that neither the installer nor the user after installation is obligated to work-on the outside of the building, but rather he can. insert and remove. the sash from the inside of the building and thereby facilitating working on the sash inside the room, thereby eliminating the necessity and hazard of ladders on: the outside. of the building jecting his body outwardly of the-building to work on or wash the sashes on the outside, in that the sashes are completely removable and'reinsertable from the inside of the building.
The instant frame-to-sash guide rail combinationrenders the product more adaptable to mass production and therefore cheaper cost of fabrication and which is also a more fool-proof device both in immediate construction and in operation and for the duration of. the life of the building. r t
It is pertinent here to note that the great many reand completely.eliminatingthe hazard of proinvention is to hice 2 provide a removable sash and frame combination equipped with identical side rails wherein the attaching means cup sockets and springs are so integrated that the springs are fixedly located longitudinally of the rail.
. An object of the invention is to provide a cup in the guide rail face providing a socket behind the face for receiving an attaching screw head in free and clear relationship to the sash riding on the face of the guide rail. .,An object of the invention is to provide a guide rail cup in the face of the guide rail extending behind the face of the guide rail providing a boss for receiving the smaller end of a semi or truncated conical spring surrounding said cup in gripping relation thereto so as to provide complete integration between the springs and the guide rails prior to integration in the frame.
An object of the invention is to provide a cup and spring relationship. on a guide rail so that when the attaching screw is received in a cup and it extends through the center of the spring thereby fixedly locating the spring relative to the jamb by means of the screw as well as J by means of the cup boss.
movable sash and miscellaneous guide-rails have been;
developed and patented. While the priorart devices have enjoyed a certain amount of satisfaction and success,
they leave much to be. desiredrelative to simplicity of construction, the integration of pre-fabrication subassemblies, and the interchangeability of parts, therebyobviatingof guide rails in usually one side: pressed resilient the necessity for several different types the same frame due to the fact that of the frame is equipped with spring guide rails for removing the sash, and the otherside .is equipped with fixed non-resilient guide rails of a different type. Also in the found thatthe springs on the resilient guide rails which are not fixedly period of time, so that, whiletheguide rails have the springs move out of their proper anced and putting too much spring pressure :behind one prior ,art devicesit has been located tend to moveduring fabrication" and also tend to move during use, especially over alongportion of the rail and not enough spring pressure behind another portion of the rail, thereby preventing easy movement of the sash relative to, the rail in one area and permitting too easy movement of the sash in another area of the rail permitting the sash to fall out of position. With the foregoing in view, the primary objectpfthe abutting the filler strip stop 18.
An object of the invention is to provide a truncated conical spring or a semi-conical spring in gripping relationship to the guide railcup with the smaller end of the spring seizing on the outside of the guide rail cupsocket and with the spring larger end disposed against the jamb so that upon depression of the guide rail, the cup and the smaller end of the spring ride down within the larger end of the spring providing full resilience without any interference between the cup and inner end of the spring with the larger end of the spring.
An object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive high-quality, fool-proof guide-rail which is not only less expensive to manufacture and fabricate but which is also much more eflicient in use and much cheaper to install due to the savings in labor and production assembly costs.
These and other objects of the invention will become Referring now to the drawings wherein like numerals. refer to like and corresponding parts throughout the two'- 1 views, the window frame and removable sash therein to illustrate the invention comprises a fixed guiderail, frame side (Fig. l, leftside), having a first outside blind stop 11, the first filler strip 13 projecting sidewise outwardly of the strip 11, a first side jamb l5 edgewise 13, a first inside blind stop 17 abutting the edge of the jarnb 15, and a first blind stop 19 positioned against the jamb 15.
It is to be noted that the filler strip 13, janib 2 .5, and blind stop 19 combined to form a first relatively shallow channel A therebetween which. channel A is adapted to receive thepaired guide rails 21 and 23 in a. side-by-side abutting relationship and in abutting relationship to the channel A members. i
Referring now to the resilient guide rail side of the frame (Fig. 1, right side), it can be seen that the outer second blind stop 10 sidewise abuts the relatively wider" second filler strip 12 whichedgewise abuts the second jamb 14 which is, in turn, sidewise abutted by the spacer block 24 which is overlayed by the second inner blind It is to be noted that the filler strip 12, jamh disclosed.
14, space block 24, and blind stop .18 form a relatively deeper channel B which receives the resilient guide rails 2t and 22 in side by side abutting relationship to each other and in abutting relationship to the tiller strip 1-2 and the blind stop 18, but in spaced relationship to the jamb 14 as seen in the right side of Fig. 1. Sashes and 26 are respectively disposed between the paired solid guide rail 23 and the resilient guide rail 22 and the paired solid guide rail 21 and the resilient guide rail 24) with the springs 27 urging the resilient guide rails 22 and 2t) respectively against the sashes 25 and v-s'nich force is opposed by the solid guide rails 23 and 21 respectively so as to hold the sashes 25 and 26 therebetween. It is to be noted that the guide rails Ztl, 21, 22, and 23 are identical in themselves and that each is equipped with at least two cups 29 recessed below their faces which are flush with the face portions 37 of the guide rails and which protrude or extend behind and beyond the face portion of the guide rails. Each cup 2i) is equipped with a central aperture 36 for receiving an attaching screw therein and it is to be noted at the left side of Fig. 1 that the attaching screws 31 can be relatively short, whereas the attaching screws 32 seen at the right side of the drawing in Fig. l are relatively longer to facilitate spacing the resilient guide rails 22 and 20 away from the jamb 14.
Referring to Fig. 2 the individual guide rail shown which is preferably of rollformed aluminum or similar mate rial, comprises like sides 33 and 34 for abutting the frame members and the adjacent like guide rail, and, in the instance of the resiliently positioned rails for traveling or sliding against each other. The face of the guide rail is preferably formed with two shoulder portions 35 and 36 adjacent the edge thereof and a center interconnecting depressed portion 37 for receiving the sash in longitudinal sliding relationship and fixed lateral relationship in that the depressed center portion 37 in conjunction with the shoulders 35 and 36 constitutes a groove in which the tongue 38 f the sash rides. It is to be further noted that the sash edges 39 and 44 on either side of the tongue 38 ride on the shoulders 35 and 36 so that substantially the whole edge area of thesash rides and travels on the guide rail.
The guide rail has pierced apertures at desired inter vals for receiving the cups 29 and the cups 29 are-then pressed fitted and clinched in the apertures of the guide rail. The guide rails can then be stored for use at any desired time. When it is desired to assemble the guide rails to the frame as indicated in Fig. 1, the smaller end of the semi-conical springs 27 are forced over the backs of the cups 29, and, it is to be understood that the small end of the spring is made slightly smaller than the outside dimension of the back of the cups 29, so that when the spring is placed over the cup 29, it is forced to spread over outside of the cup so that the cup thereby forms an attaching and socket means relative to the spring. The guide rail with attached spring is located in the frame such as on the right side of the frame as seen in Fig. l, a screw is then placed through the aperture 30 of the cups 29 and the attached spring 27 and secured in the jamb 14. It is to be noted that the conelike spring has its larger end spring pressed against the jamb 14, thereby triangulating resistance against the thrust on the guide rail attached thereto so as to stabilize the guide rail against side thrusts and guide rail side movement thereby preventing tipping or canting of the guide rails whether or not the sashes are installed or in position. This is especially beneficial during the opera tion of inserting or removing the sash which depresses the guide rail 20 or the guide rail 22 relative to the other guide rail.
After the frame is set up and the guide rails attached and the sash installed, the unit is ready for shipment to the job where it will be installed in the building. Upon arriving at the building the sashes are removed to prevent glass breakage and to allow the installing workman free access both at the inside and outside of the building. After the frame is installed, the sashes are then reinserted in the frame by pressing the edge of the sashes 25 and 26 against the guide rails 20 and 22 and depressing the respective guide rails against the springs 27 and fitting the tongue 38 in the stationary guide rails 21 or 23 and allowing the spring pressed guide rails 20 or 22 to exert pressure so as to thereby hold the sash in place in frame.
When the occupants of the premises or a window washer desires to clean the windows it is not necessary for him to go to the outside of the building." it is only necessary to lower the top sash and remove same and raise the lower sash and remove same from the inside of the building where they can be cleaned on both sides within the room. it is to be particularly noted that the cupsoclzets 29 and the screws 32 will locate the springs fixedly longitudinally and laterally of the guides and frame no matter how many times the sashes are removed and inserted and regardless of the duration of the installations prior to building vibrations encountered.
It is also to be particularly noted that it is impossible for a workman to mis-locate thesprings longitudinally of the rail in fabrication of the units thereby insuring proper spring pressure at the right place on the rails.
Although but a single embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail, it is obvious that many changes may be made in the size, detail, shape, and arrangements of the elements of the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
