WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iateni'.A No. 295,362, dated March 18, 1884. I Application filed August l, 1823 (No modell.) i

States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain nev.T and useful Improvements in W'iny dow-Sashes; and we do hereby declare the following to be a i'ull, clear, and exact descrip tion oi' the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the' sa1ne,'rei`erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a .part oi' this specification. l

. g thus avoiding the necessity of getting outside ofthe window and the danger common thereto.

The invention is also intended to more eftectually prevent i the passage of air and moisture through the interstices of the frame of the windows as ordinarily constructed,and, fn rther, to do away with all rattling and shaking of the window-frames.

The invention consists in such construction, combination, andoperation ot' parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, and embodied in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in

, which similar lettersof reference indicate like parts in each of the various iigures, Figure 1 is a front elevation oi' a Window-frame and saslies having attached thereto our device, the righthand side of the lower sash being broken away, showing the relation of our improvement to the sash. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation, partly in section, detached from th sash. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the detached attachment, also enlarged; and Fig. v4 is a crosssection taken throughline x of Fig. 1.

In carrying out our invention we employ a supplemental piece, a, of the length ofthe Windowsash from top to bottom, and of suitable thickness-` having a recess therein to re" ceive the working parts of our device. The stile of thc'sash is aiso provided with a recess corresponding to the recess in the supplemental piece, but of less depth. In addition to the supplemental piece a, we 'employ a metallic piece, b, preferably cylindrical, one'end of which, c, may be reduced in diameter, having a thread thereon, the part b being about the length ofthe depth oi' the recess in the supplemental piece a, the central portion of said recess being cut away to receive said part b.

d is a locking-bar, which is contained within and is about the length of the recess in the supplemental'piece, and passes through a slot oropening in the cylinder b," having the de-v pression d therein, the use of which will be described hereinafter.

e is a spring, which bears against the bar 'd near the extremities thereof, as shown. Said spring also passes through the slot b,being secured therein by a pin7 j?, which passes through the cylinder b, spring c, and bar d, serving to hold the parts in place. The pin f may be dispensed with, if desirable, the spring c being riveted to the part b instead.

g is a cap sunk within the stile of the sash, having a female thread corresponding to the thread on c, and provided with screw-lugs or flanges g', to secure the same, said lugs being placed, preferably, some distance from the outeredge of the cap at the bottom of the recess in said stile, as shown in Fig. 1.

h is a small lever,` shaped substantially as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and pivoted `.vithin a slot, bin the cylinder b, as indicated, one end of said lever bearing against the locking bar d on the side opposite to the spring, and the other end projecting through the slot b, and also through a corresponding slot in the supplemental piece a, as shown in Fig. 4. Pivoted to the supplemental piece c is a thumb or finger piece, c', the short arm of which bears against the part of the lever h which projects through the slot in the piecel a, the longer arm of said part i being adapted to be operated by the thumb or finger.

j is a plate secured to the supplemental piece ci, having thereon the lug or projection k.

The cylindrical part b is provided with iianges Z l, for securing said part to the piece a., as indicated in Fig. 8. rIhe cord to which the IOO Weight is attached issecured to the suppleinentalpiecea, fas shown in Fig. `1. v

The operation and'relation of our device to the window frame and sashes are substantially as follows: The supplemental piecesb are connected with thevwindow-sashes at the side by the, screw c, which turns within the cap g; said cap being secured within the stile of the sash, as above described. The said pieces a slide within the ways or grooves of the windowframe, the j oints between the said supplementalv pieces and the window-sashes being placed outside of the stoplbead, so that` the sashes will swing clear of the frame.-

The normal position of the locking-bar is shown in Figs. l and 2, where, bythe pressure of the spring e, it extends o-ver the'v joint between the supplemental pieces a andthe sash, into the recess in said sash, thus covering'that portion of the joint and excluding air Vand moisture, and also by locking the sash prevents its turning and rattling. The depres sion d in the lockingbar allows said bar to extend into the recess in the sashas will be evident by reference to Figs. l and 2.

The window may be unlocked by pressing the long armof the thumb-piece 11 toward the outside ofthe frame. Thisfacts'upon the small lever h, which, in turn, presses the lockingbar d away from the sash and uncovers the joint, thus permitting the sash to be rotated upon the screw-pivot c.

Fig. 4 shows the locking-bar thrown back by the pressure ofthe lever h, and theposition of the thumb-piece t', when the bar isthus thrown'back and held, is rshown under line x of Fig. 1. The lug 7c on the plate j holds the piece z' and prevents the bar d from springing back into the recess in the sash. The thu mbpiece may be disengaged from th'elug k, when desired, by a slight movement of the thumb,- as will be readily understood.

It will be evident from the construction of our device that the screws on one side'of the .sash must be right screwsand those on the other side left screws, in order that the'sas-h may revolve. By this yarrangementl the .screws not only act as pivots,but serve-to' tighten thezsash when closed. j

In order to more fully cover theVV joints between the sash and supplemental pieces a, Where they are not covered by theLlock-in'g-ba'r, we recess the said piece a at af and a2, Fig. 3, and either attach tothe sash or form `integral therewith projections a3, Fig. 1, which yi-t into said recesses, and thus break the joint and effectually prevent the entrance of air and moist-v ure.

Ourimprovement may be applied to any wi-ndowv by cuttingzaway a portion of thesash and substitutingtherei'or the supplemental piece with its attendant parts d b c, Svc., without otherwise disturbing thewindow frame and sashes.

rlhe minor details of our invention may be varied without departing from the spirit thereof, as willvloe` readily understood.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and wishfto secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with the sash or sashes of awindow., having recesses (as r) therein, and projections a3, of a supplemental piece (as a) having a recess'therein, and provided with recesses a and a2, adapted to receive said projections a3, a locking-bar, d, and a spring, e, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. rlhe combination, with'the sash or sashes.V

of la'window, having a recess therein, and a cap (asg) provided with a thread, of a supplemental piece having a recess therein, a cylindrical piece, b, provided with a screw, ,0, and having a slot or opening, b', therein, a locking-bar, d, having a. depression, d', said locking-bar moving within said slot b in thepiece b, and a'spring. secured to'or withinsaid piece b, all asset, forth.

3. In a window attachment, the combination of a'cylindrical piece (as b) having a slot, b, therein, `and provided with ascre'w, a lockingbar moving within said slot, vaspring, and means for operating said locking-bar, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4. In a'window attachment, the combination of a cylindrical piece (as b) having a slot, b', therein, and provided witha screw, a lock-ingbar moving within saidr slot, a spring, (asia) a lever, h, pivoted or attached tothe cylindrical piece b, a thumb-piece, (as 1',) and a lug, k, all substantially as set forth.

5. In a window attach/ment adapted to be applied to the sashes of a window, the combination of asuppl'emental piece (as a) having a recess therein, a locking-bar, (as d,) a spring, (as 6,) a device (as b) providedl with a-screw, c, and adapted to hold said bar and spring in operative relation, ya lever', h, pivoted to said device b,1a thnmblpiece, and a cap, g, allV substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

. In testimony that We claimt-he foregoing we i 1o havey hereunto set' our hands this 21st day of July,1883; Y
