Definitions

  • This invention relates to reversible windows and more particularly to windows opened by swinging the sash about pivots thereon disposed at approximately midheight of the window in bearings in the window frame, during which said swinging movement the lower edge of the sash is swung outwardly away from the bottom member of the window frame and the upper edge of the sash inwardly of the room so that there is obtained between the sash and the frame at the bottom a ventilating opening on the outer side of the frame, and at the top a ventilating opening on the inner side of the frame.
  • the characteristic features of the improved window according to the present invention allow that the sash can be placed in an open position, in which it is swung more or less far inwardly about the lower edge thereof, by first swinging the sash about the pivots with the lower sash edge more or less far outwardly away from the bottom member of the frame and then pulling the lower edge of the sash back into engagement with the bottom member of the frame and swinging the sash inwardly about the lower edge thereof.
  • the upper width of a ventilating opening which is realized between the sash and the frame entirely on the inner side of the latter by swinging the sash inwardly together with the abutment members supporting the bearings for the sash pivots, is determined by the distance the lower edge of the sash, swinging about its pivots, is moved outwardly away from the bottom member of the frame, before the sash is Eswung back with its lower edge into engagement with the frame and in its entirety inwardly together with the rebate fill-out means carrying the pivot bearings.
  • the present invention also provides that the same arrangement which, in a manner that is adjustable by means of the sash through the swinging thereof about its pivots, restricts the inward swinging of the sash about the lower edge thereof, exerts a restraining effect on the sash in the ventilating position thereof, which has been reached by inward swinging of the sash about the lower edge thereof.
  • FIGURES 1-7 show very much diagrammatized vertical sections of the window, taken at right angles to the plane of the window and illustrating some of the many different positions into which the sash may be set relative to the frame;
  • FIGURE 8 shows an embodiment of the invention in a vertical projection, taken at right angles to the plane of the window, of the sash and one of the rebate fill-out means carrying the pivot bearings in position in the frame (indicated by dash-and-dot lines) when the window is closed;
  • FIGURES 9, 10 and 11 show similar vertical projections of the sash in different positions relative to the frame.
  • FIGURE 12 shows a horizontal section on line XII XII in FIGURE 8.
  • the window frame has vertical side members 1, a horizontal top member 2, and a likewise horizontal bottom member 3.
  • the horizontal pivots of the sash which are located approximately at mid-height of the window, are indicated in the diagrammatic FIGURES 1-7 by a single point 4, and man figures the inner side of the window faces to the right and the outer side thereof to the left.
  • the sash is composed of an inner sash 5 having the pivots 4, and an outer sash 6 which, when the entire sash (5, 6) has been swung approximately halfway around, can be moved out from the inner sash inside the room for cleaning purposes, as is indicated in FIGURE 7.
  • FIGURES 8-11 The embodiment of the pivots and their bearings shown in FIGURES 8-11 is of the kind in which the sash has each of its two side members provided with a fitting carrying two pivots 8 and 9 each of which cooperates in such a Way with one of the two bearing recesses in a fitting 10,
  • abutment members 11 which constitute the abutments of the frame for the sash along those portions of the vertical frame side members 1 which extend between the pivot bearings and the frame bottom member 3.
  • These abutment members 11 are designated rebate fill-out means because at closed window they fill out rebates in the facing sides of the frame and" the sash.
  • the rebate fill-out means 11 can be swung from their position at closed window inwardly about hinge pins 12 connecting said members 11 at their lower ends with the frame, so that the sash together with the rebate fillout means 11 and the pivot bearings at their upper ends can be swung inwardly about its lower edge for providing a ventilating opening solely on the inner side of the frame between the latter and the sash, as will appear from FIGURES 4, and 11.
  • the mechanical connection of the sash with the frame which connection serves adjustably to restrict the inward swinging of the sash about the lower edge thereof, comprises at each of the window sides in the embodiment shown in FIGURES 8-11 an arm 13 and a frictional resistance 16 to the swinging movement of the arm 13 in relation to the sash.
  • Said arm 13 has one end pivotally mounted on the fitting 7, which carries the pivots 8, 9 and is disposed on the inner sash 5, and at the other end said arm 13 bears a pin or roller 14 which rotatably and movably engages in a vertical groove 15 provided in a fitting secured to the frame side member 1.
  • the frictional resistance 16 is arranged in the mounting of the arm 13 on the fitting 7.
  • This mechanical connection of the sash with the frame functions entirely independently of an arm 17 which restricts the pivotment of the rebate fill-out means 11 inwardly and which at one end is pivotally mounted in the fitting 10 on the rebate fill-out means and at the other end bears a pin or roller 18 which rotatably and movably engages a vertical groove 19' in a fitting secured to the frame side member 1.
  • the rebate fill-out means 11 can be arranged to be locked in their normal position, i.e. the position they occupy when the window is closed (FIG- URES 1 and 8).
  • the fittings 10 can be provided for example with locking recesses 20 in which locking means 21 (FIGURE 12) can be caused to engage. Said locking means are mounted in the frame and operable by means of a handle on said frame.
  • the device 13-16 which serves adjustably to restrict the swinging of the sash about the lower edge thereof, functions in the following manner.
  • a ventilating position in which the sash is swung inwardly about thel ower edge thereof, such as the position exemplified in FIGURES 4, 5 and 11, the sash is first swung about its pivots with the lower edge outwardly away from the frame bottom member 3, as is exemplified in FIGURES 2, 3 and 9.
  • the arm 13 is positively swung in relation to the sash about its pivot point on the sash while surmounting the frictional re sistance 16 provided for in the pivot point.
  • the frictional resistance 16 provided for in the pivot point of the arm 13 on the sash insures that the arm 13, when the sash is pulled back with its lower edge inwardly against the frame bottom member, will retain the position into which it has been set about its pivot point on the sash by the swinging of the sash with the lower edge thereof outwardly away from the frame bottom member 3.
  • the rebate fill-out means 11 carrying the pivot hearings will automatically be swung inwardly about the hinge pins 12 connecting them at their lower ends with the frame, as is exemplified in FIGURE 10.
  • the position in which the inward pivotment of the rebate fill-out means 11 and of the sash about the lower edge thereof takes place when the sash has been pulled with its bottom into engagement with the rebate fill-out means, as is exemplified in FIGURE 11, varies with the already described setting of the arm 13 about its pivot point on the sash.
  • the described setting of the arm 13 involves a corresponding setting of the upper width of the opening between the frame and the sash in the ventilating position of the sash swung inwardly about the lower edge thereof.
  • the arm 13 will have a restraining effect on the sash in such ventilating position thereof.
  • rebate fill-out means 11 Since there does not occur any swinging of the rebate fill-out means 11 during the swinging of the sash about its pivots with the lower edge of the sash outwardly away from the frame, it is possible to lock the rebate fill-out means with respect to the frame so as to insure that the rebate fill-out means 11 will remain immovable in position in the frame at such operation of the window as is done for purposes other than setting the sash into a ventilating position, in which the sash is swung inwardly about the lower sash edge.
  • a reversible window comprising, in combination,
  • a sash mounted for swinging movement in said frame about a point approximately mid-height of the window from a shut position in said frame to various ventilating positions including positions with its lower edge outwardly and its upper edge inwardly about said point at approximately mid-height of the window, and also about its lower edge inwardly,
  • rebate fill-out means having at least a portion thereof extending between said frame and said sash
  • said rebate fill-out means extending approximately one half the height of said sash and pivotally mounted adjacent the lower end thereof to said frame
  • bearing means on each side of said sash pivotally mounting said sash at approximately mid-height to the upper end portion of said rebate fill-out means, said bearing means including spaced pivot pins,
  • said pins and said fitting having one located at approximately mid-height of said sash and the other on the upper end portion of said rebate fill-out means
  • first control means on at least one side of said sash connecting said sash and said frame so as to adjustably restrict the swinging of said sash inwardly about the lower edge thereof including a first control arm having one end slidably retained in said frame and pivotally mounted at its other end to said sash so as to swing said sash about said pivot pins with the lower edge of said sash outwardly away from said bottom member of said frame,
