WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,397, dated May 24, 1887.

Application filed June 1'2, 1886.

Serial No. 204,992. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE HENRY KING, of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and 5 useful Improvements in WVindows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in windows, and more particularly to windows in which the sashes are adapted to tilt.

The object is to provide a more simple and less expensive construction of parts, to overcome the lateral play of the sash, to provide weather-stops fixed permanently to the j ambs,

and to admit of the use of inside stops or a parting-rod, according to the construction, of

the full length of the window and of ordinary finish.

WVith these ends in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed outin the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front or rear view of the upper and lower sashes. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section through the frame, showing the sashes and stops in position, one of the sashes being tilted in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the frameand sashes, showing a modified arrangement of stops; and Fig. 4 is a View of one of the cross-bars employed for. connecting the guide-sections. i

A Arcpresent the side rails and cm the crossrails of an upper window-sash, and A A the side rails and a a the crossrails of a lower sash. The upper portions of the side rails, A, are cut away, as shown at B, and the lower- 0 portions of the side rails, A, as shown at B,

for a distance equal to onehalf their length, (more or less.) The cut-away portions 13 B are supplied by sections 0 O, to which are pivotally secured the rails A A. When cords and 5 weights are used to hold the sashes elevated and assist in elevating them, the outer faces of the sections 0 are grooved, as in ordinarysash es. The window-frame preferably consists of a half-frame, D, surrounding the top and sides sash, and a reversed half-frame,

of the upper D, surrounding the bottom and sides of the lower sash.

The inside stop, d, is cutaway for a short distance, as shown at (1, while the lower portion of the stop is made somewhat thicker or deeper,

as shown at (1 sufficiently to cover the joint between the sash and guide-section O. The parting-stop d is continuous from the top to thebottom of the window-frame, and is constructed of such a width that the cut-away portion of the lower sash will swing past it when the said sash is tilted forwardly.

The blind or back stop, E, is cut away, as shown ate, while the upper portion of the stop is widened, as shown ate, to cover the joint between the sash and guide-section G. The upper sash may thus be tilted forward bylowering it to the cut-away portion 0, its upper part swinging past the parting-stop d. The covering of the weather-joints between the guide-sections and the cut-away portions of the sashes by the widened stops is an impel taut feature, and is accomplished, as will be seen, without any material additional expense in construction. The sections 0, which serve as guide-sections, may be constructed of metal, wood, or other material, and may be either pivoted, directly to the sash, or bearing-plates might be inserted in the edges of either the guide-sections or sashes, or of both.

The construction shown in Fig. 3 consists in a sash the upper outer portions of the edges of which are cut away throughout half their length, (more or less,) and guide-sections lo cated in the recesses are pivotally secured to the side rails. The inside stop is here constructed continuous throughout its entire length, as in ordinary windows. The parting-stop is continuous as far as it is in sight from the inside, but is cut away, forming an upper and lower section, m m, where it is in sight from the outside, aud the back or blind stop is cutaway throughout a portion of its length, as shown at a.

The upper portions of both the upper and lower'sashcs may be tilted inwardly toward the room because of their cut-away portions, the full portions of the sashes swinging outwardly through the recesses in the parting and blind stops.

ICO

" proved construction, and thereby be adapted to fit windows of different widths. To strengthen the outer one-half sash-fra1ne when made of wood, corner brackets of metal may be employed.

Other changes might also be made in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; hence I do not wish to limit myself strictly to the construction herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is* I 1. In a window, the combination, with a sash having its side rails cut away about the thickness of a stop, the said cu t-away portions start ing from one end of the sash and extending for a suitable distance toward the other end of the sash, of a guide-section pivoted to the sash in the cut away portion, full-length stops on one side of the sash, and cut-away stops on the opposite side, substantially as set forth.

2. In awindow, the combination, with a tilting sash, a side rail of which is cut away at one end, as described, and a guide-section pivotally secured to the sash in said cut-away portion, of a thickened stop adapted to cover the weather-joint between the sash and guidesection, substantiallyas set forth.

3. -In a window,the combination, with a window-frame, full-length parting-stops, and broken inside and blind stops, of a pair of sashes having the upper portions of the side rails of the upper sash and lower portions of the siderails of the lower sash recessed and supplied with guide sections, vsubstantially as set forth.

4. In a window, the combination, with a frame having a continuous stop, of a sliding sash a side rail of which is cutaway at one end, the said cut-away portion extending a suitable distance toward the opposite end by the sash to permit the sash to be tilted past the continuous stop, and a guide-section pivoted to the sash in said cutaway portion, substantiall y as set forth.

5. In a window, the combination, with a frame and sashes the side rails of which are recessed or cut away at one end, of a partingstri'p extending from the top of the windowframe to a point below the upper end of the lower sash, a sash the side rails of which are recessed at one end, guide-sections secured within the recessed portions of said guiderails, and sash-cords secured to said guidesections.

6. In a window, the combination, with a frame, full-lengtl1 parting-stop, and a pair of guide-sections supported by cords andweights, of a sash pivotally secured to the guide-sections and adapted to tilt past the parting'stop, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

' GEORGE HENRY KING.
