4 Claims. (Cl. 2055) This invention generally relates to a window construction and more particularly to that type of window construction incorporating a double-hung window with a storm window incorporated therewith which permits the cleaning of the panes of glass employed therein from the interior of the building without the necessity of a person cleaning the window panes endangering themselves by climbing ladders or hanging outside of a window ledge. 7 Another object of the present invention is to provide a window construction incorporated in a double hung sash-type window in which an insert is provided in each sash which may be pivoted inwardly and downwardly for easy cleaning of both sides of the window pane from the interior of a room, thus eliminating the necessity of climbing a ladder or leaning out of the Window for cleaning the outer surfaces of the window panes, thereby eliminating the danger accompanying such actions.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a Window construction incorporating a storm window having a pair of removable panels of glass which may be interchanged with panels of screen, whereby the entire interchanging procedure may be carried out from the interior of a room, and both of the glass panels may be cleaned from the interior of a room, building or the like without the necessity of climbing, thus eliminating the danger accompanying the same.
Yet another important feature of the present invention is to provide a window construction in which the various elements of the window may be easily cleaned from a position within the interior of a building and from a position adjacent the bottom of the window, thus enabling a person to efliciently clean the windows while sitting down, and in many installations thus reducing the danger of such cleaning operation and also reducing the fatigue generally caused thereby.
Other objects of the present invention will reside in its provision of a tubular weather seal completely around the periphery of both the double hung window sashes and the storm window panels, thus assuring an effective weather seal.
Other features of the present invention will reside in its simplicity of construction, ease of installation in existing window frames of the double hung type, and its adaptation for construction in various standard sizes.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of the inside of the window construction of the present invention;
Figure 2 is an elevational view of the outside of the window construction of the present invention;
Figure 3 is a transverse, vertical sectional view taken substantially upon a plane passing along section line 3-3 of Figure 1 illustrating the details of construction thereof;
Figure 4 is a longitudinal, vertical sectional view taken substantially upon a plane passing along section line 4-4' of Figure 1 illustrating further structural details of the window construction;
Figure 5 is a detailed sectional view illustrating the manner in which the top storm sash panel is removed when the double hung sashes are in their lowermost posi tion;
Figure 6 is a detailed sectional view illustrating the manner of cleaning the outer surface of the upper or inner sash;
Figure 7 is a detailed sectional view similar to Figure 6 illustrating the manner of cleaning the inner surface of the lower or innermost sash; and
Figure 8 is a detailed sectional View taken substantially upon a plane passing along section line 8-8 of Figure 3 illustrating the details of the latch construction I for the storm Window panels.
Referring now specifically to the drawings, the numeral 10 generally designates the window construction of the present invention which includes a frame generally designated by the numeral 12 which is of substantially conventional double hung window frame construction. The frame 12 generally includes vertical parallel side rails 16 and 18 including a longitudinal center piece 20 and edge trim members 22, as Well as inner facings-24 and outer facing members 26 which may engage with the wall construction generally designated by the numeral 28 in a window opening of any conventional size. This construction is a conventional double hung window construction and may be provided in any standard sizes which are currently employed in window constructions.
Mounted in the window frame 12 is a pair of sashes including an upper or outer sash generally designated by the numeral 30 and a lower or inner sash generally designated by the numeral 32 which slide vertically in the runways or trackways formed by the rails 16 and 18 together 'with the longitudinal members 20 and 22. The relationship of the sashes 30 and 32 is the same as any conventional double hung window, and the conventional lock mechanism 34 may be provided at the upper edge of the inner sash 32 and a lifting hook 36 may be provided on the lower edge of the inner sash 32 for manipulation of the sashes 30 and 32 in the usual manner.
Each of the upper and lower sashes 30 and 32 are provided with an insert 38 in the form of a peripheral frame member having an enlarged glass panel 40 disposed therein and sealed thereto by any suitable glazing means, such as the putty 42, in the usual manner. The insert 38 is hingedly attached to the lower edge of the sash 30 or 32, respectively, by hinge means 44 which may be of any suitable construction and which may be provided with a removable pin, if desired, whereby the hinge barrels may be separated from each other for permitting the inserts 38 to be removed. The upper edge of the peripheral frame of each insert 38 is provided with a recess or socket 46 having a plunger 48 extending therethrough and terminating at its lower end in a handle 50 wherein the plunger 48 is spring urged upwardly by a compression coil spring 52 disposed between the bottom of the socket 46 and a flange 54 on the plunger 48. The plunger 48 has its upper end receivable in a socket 56 in the respective sash 30 or 32. It is pointed out that each of the sashes 3i and 32 is provided with an inwardly extending flange 58 about the periphery thereof for forming an abutment for the rear surface of the insert 38. The rear surface of the insert 38 is provided with a peripheral groove for receiving a tubular weather seal 60 which may be constructed of a tubular plastic member having one portion of the periphery thereof extending for contact with the inner surface of the flange 58 when the insert 38 is disposed in closed position and held in closed position by the latch mechanism formed by the spring urged plungers 48. While a pair of hinges have been in dicated and a single plunger has been illustrated, it is pointed out that as many hinges and catches may be employed as deemed desirable or necessary for securely holding the inserts 38 in position;
As illustrated in Figure 4, a flexible chain 62 may be provided between the top of the lower sash 32- and the top of the insert 38, thus limiting the inward pivotal movement of the insert 38 so that the same may be left in an inwardly inclined position when desired in order to permit ventilation room, but in order to prevent entry of rain, snow or the like.
Reference is made specifically to Figures 6 and 7 of the drawings which illustrate the upper and lower inserts 38 respectively being pivoted outwardly through the inner portion of the window frame, thus permitting cleaning of the rear or outer surface thereof with little effort. In order to pivot the upper insert 38 outwardly, the lower sash 32 is raised and the upper sash 30 is lowered, as illustrated in Figure 6, thus permitting the upper insert 38 to be pivoted outwardly as shown.
Disposed outwardly of the double hung window construction and the sashes 30 and 32 is a storm window construction generally designated by the numeral 7%, which includes an upper panel 72 and a lower panel 74 disposed Within a peripheral frame member, such as the outer facing member 26, and held thereon by a removable retaining plate 76, which is held in position by removablescrews 77. Each of the panels 72 and 74 includes a peripheral frame member having an enlarged panel of glass 78 retained therein by any suitable glazing method, such as by putty St or the like. The frame or facing member 26 and the retaining member 76 are provided with a central member designated respectively by the numerals 82 and 84. The lower and upper edges of the panels 72 and 74 are provided with a knob-type handle 86, and the central member 82 is provided with a pair of inwardly extending sockets on each side thereof as designated by the numeral 88 for receiving a pair of projections 90 on the respective panels 72 and 74, thus removably retaining the adjacent central edges of the panels 72 and 74 in position. Each side wall of each panel 72 and 74 is provided with a lock lug including a cylindrical rotatable member 92 extending inwardly to the inner surface of the panels 72 and 74-, respectively, and including a laterally extending lock lug 4 movably disposed in a socket 96 in the panel and which is receiv able in an arcuate socket 983 in the frame member 26.
This latch mechanism effectively locks the panels and 74- in position and permits ready removal thereof by turning the lug 94 into the socket 96 in the respective panels 72 and 74. The panels 72 and 74 are each provided with a peripheral flange itii) which engages a tubular weather seal 1102 embedded in a groove in the adjacent portion of the frame 26 and the central member 82 as illustrated in Fig. 4. Thus, either or both of the panels 72 and 74 may be removed and replaced with one having a screen member instead of the glass 78, and the panels 72 and 74 may be removed from the interior of the room, without the necessity of climbing up a ladder or precariously leaning out of a window opening. This Window construction may be adapted for any typ wall normally employed in building construction and may be constructed of wood, corrosive-resistant light metal such as aluminum or the like, or plastic having sufficient rigidity for the purposes intended.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention.
