WlNDOW-SASH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,944, dated June 10, 18.84.

' Application filed July 17, ies. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.- I

Be it known that I, LoUIs L. ARNOLD, of

Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Window-Sash, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved window-sash, which can easily be removed from the window-frame for washing the panes, painting the sash, replacing the panes in the same, &tc.

- Reference is.to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a crosssectional elevation of a window-frame provided with my improved sashes, showing them swung down. Fig. 2is a front elevation of the upper sash, showing parts of the samein longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the frame, showing the manner in which the stop-beads and parting-strips are held in place.

The bottom sash, A, which is toward the lnside of the room, is pivoted at its lower ened to the sash-frame by the pins E and the bolt, J, is then passed through the casing in such a manner that it also passes through the staple H, passed through the aperture H, whereby the lower part of the stop-bead will be held in place on the window-casing.

The upper sash, K, is pivoted at its lower end to the lower ends of the side pieces of a U shaped frame, L, which frame is composed of side pieces, Z, and the top cross-piece, Z, and is suspended from the sash ropes or cords B, which pass over pulleys C and have weights at the ends. The cords B are secured to the frame L at about one-third of the height of the frame from the upper ends of the shanks, and can be removed, as on the lower sash, A, by detaching the ropes. The sash K is provided in its top cross-piece, Z,with a hook, M, or analogous device, adapted to catch on a pintle, N, projecting from the frame L, thus holding the sash in position within the frame L.

The cross-piece Z of the frame L may be so arranged with respect to the upper cross-bar of the sash K that the said cross-piece will be hidden by the sash when the sash is in its normal position. If the upper sash, K, and its frame L, in which it is pivoted, are lowered, the upper sash, K, can be swung downward and toward the interior of the room, the sash swinging on the pintles n, by which it is pivoted to the frame L. The bottom of sash K is recessed at P to receive a easing, into which passes the pintle a. Check-studs may be used to prevent the said sash from swing ing down too far.

That the lower part of the parting-stripO may be removed, the parting-strip is provided with a staple, Q, which is passed through a slot or aperture in the window-casing, and

is so located thatthe pin J can pass through it,and thus hold it in place, in the same manner as it holds the lower'part of the stop-bead G ill-place. By this construction the upper sash, K, can be readily turned down by re moving the lower portions of the parting strips 0, its frame L held in position in the window-frame, and all binding of the sash in the frame prevented. a

I am aware that it is not new in windowsashes to lock the beads to the jambs by sliding bolts and staples, or to use grooved strips between the sash and windowframe, or to pivot the lower end of sash in an entirely inclosing slide-frame, or to pivot-a sash to the stiles, or to pivot a sash to side slats at the bottom and spring-latch it thereto at the top, or to hinge thelower section of apa'rting-bead and a sash so that the latter maybe turned out; but

W'hat I do claim as new and of my invention In a window-sash, the combination, with a window-frame, sash-cords B, and the removable parting-strips O, of the sliding frame L, composed of the side pieces, Z, and top cross-piece, Z, and provided with the pintles n, and the sash K, having its side bars pro- 'vided with the recesses P, to receive the pintles a, substantially as herein shown and described.
