Definitions

  • This invention relates to tensioning devices for maintaining the upper portions of the overlapped panes of sashless windows firmly in contact with each other.
  • a second device comprised a manual lock mounted at the head of the window.
  • This device has been unsatisfactory, however, since a person of average height can not reach the lock to operate it.
  • Venetian blinds, drapes, curtains, or other obstructions which overhang the lock and make its operation difiicult and inconvenient.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in elevation of a sashless window installation illustrating the manner of application of the presently described tensioning device
  • FIG. 2 is a detail plan View of the tensioning device viewed in the direction of the arrows of line 22 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a detail view in elevation of the tensioning device viewed in the direction of the arrows of line 3-3 of FIG. 1.
  • the instant latch assembly is applicable to a sashless window comprising a pair of panes 10, 12 having their meeting edges overlapped.
  • the panes are mounted in a frame comprising a sill 14, a head piece 16 and a pair of side jambs 18, 20.
  • the outside edges of the panes are received in grooves 22, 24 of side jambs 18, 20 respectively.
  • Their upper and lower edges are received in guideways 26, 28 in head piece and sill respectively so that one of the panes, e.g. pane 12, can slide back and forth with respect to the other to open and close the window opening.
  • a latch 30 locks the sliding pane and maintains its lower portion pressed snugly against the adjacent ver lapped pane.
  • the herein described header tensioner 32 is stationed above the latch, centrally of the panes, and maintains the upper portion of the sliding pane pressed tightly against the corresponding portion of the overlapped pane.
  • the construction of the tensioning device is apparent from a consideration of FIGS. 2 and 3. It is mounted on a flat base 34 provided with means for adjustably securing it on head piece 16. Thus the piece may be provided with slots 36 penetrated by screws 38 which fasten the base to the head piece in a desired position of lateral adjustment.
  • a socket 40 which'preferably is cast as a plastic unit integral with the base.
  • the socket opens out in the direction of the panes, laterally of the base, and is provided with an air vent 42 to facilitate assembly.
  • a resilient contact member 44 Seated in socket 449 is a resilient contact member 44 which may be maintained in position by means of a force fit, a suitable adhesive or otherwise.
  • the contact member preferably comprises a piece of rubber the base of which is dimensioned to be received in the socket and the outwardly extending portion of which is tapered with a flat outer surface.
  • the resilient contact member may comprise a truncated cone, the flat apex of which bears squarely against the surface of one pane, holding it against the pane which it overlaps.
  • the contact member should be sufficiently stiff to provide substantial resistance to deformation, and its taper should lie within the range of l020, with respect to its longitudinal axis. This will afford the required degree of resiliency to provide fast, positive adjustment of the contact member to window movements.
  • the tensioning device supplies sufficient tension to the panes to keep them close together whether they are in closed or open position.
  • the rubber tip Upon opening or closing the panes, the rubber tip is deflected by frictional contact with the pane to allow free movement without undue pressure. However, when this movement ceases, the rubber creeps back into its normal position, providing an effective abutment of the panes against each other and against the side walls of guideway 26 in which they move. This eliminates chatter as well as drafts at the top of the window.
  • the rubber tip of the tensioning movement deflects either upwardly or downwardly, following the movement of the pane. When such movement stops, the rubber tip automatically resumes its normal position.
  • a tensioning device comprising: a base, socket means on the base having an axis parallel to the base, the base having slots therein elongated in the direction parallel to the socket axis, the slots freely receiving mounting screws therethrough for securing the base on the frame adjacent the overlapped sections of the panes adjustably toward and away from the panes, a contact member having a base section and an elongated truncated cone section tapering outwardly therefrom to smaller diameter and terminating in a substantially flat friction tip, the socket means on the base receiving and firmly supporting the base section only of the contact member, air vent means between the socket means and base section of the contact member, the elongated cone section of the contact member projecting freely from the socket means parallel to the base and toward and substantially perpendicular with respect to the adjacent pane with the friction tip in frictional contact with the pane, the socket means on the base receiving and firmly supporting the base section only of the contact member, air vent means between the socket means and base section of the contact member, the elongated
