Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A method of constructing a window accessory, such as a window railing or a window lattice, in which the window accessory is attached to the side wall of the building while being assembled at the same place, that is to say, at the height of the window. There is no need for lifting a heavy finished accessory of great bulk up to the height of the window, because it is not required to assemble such an accessory on the ground.
  • the present invention relates to a method of constructing a window accessory and, more particularly, to a method of attaching a window accessory to the side wall of the building while assembling it at the same angles.
  • a bar assembly includes a window railing
  • An important object of the present invention is to provide a method for constructing a window accessory in which the window accessory will be attached to the side of the building while being assembled at the same place.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method of a window accessory whereby the window accessory can be constructed by a single unskilled worker at relatively low cost.
  • a method of constructing a window accessory in which one of the two horizontal bars is first fixed to the side of the building, at least one vertical bar is next fixed to said horizontal bar, the other horizontal bar is then fixed to said vertical bar, and the other horizontal bar is last fixed to side of the building.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 show each step of the first embodiment of the present invention, in which A is a front view of a window railing and B is a side view of it; and
  • FIG. 5 to 8 show each step of the second embodiment of this invention, in which A is a front view of a window lattice and B is a side view of it.
  • the window accessory is a window railing of which components will be readily interconnected by simple securing means such as a setscrew.
  • the main components of this window railing are an upper horizontal bar 10, a lower horizontal bar 20 and nine vertical bars 30.
  • the upper horizontal bar 10 consists of a body member 10a of a square pipe and an arm member'lOb of a U-shaped plate.
  • the body member 10a is provided with a series of nine tapped holes 11 on the front wall at equal spaces, which the tapped holes 1 I serve as connections with the L-shaped vertical bars 30.
  • said tapped holes as connections 11 may be provided on any wall other than the front wall, that is to say, on the top wall, the bottom wall or the rear wall.
  • Said U-shaped arm member 10b has a front leg 12 and a rear leg 13 which are parallel to each other.
  • the front leg 12 is fixed to the rear wall of the body member 10a by means of setscrews 14.
  • the rear leg 13 will be fixed to the side wall of the building H by means of setscrews 15, that is to say, this rear leg 13 will serve as connection with the building H.
  • Said screw connections 11 with the vertical bars 30 are, therefore, completely separated from this screw connection 13 with the building H.
  • the arm member 10b is usually attached to both ends of the body member 10a. If there is a door receptacle at one sidel of the window, said U-shaped arm member 10b will be removed from the side concerned to enable slide doors to pass by.
  • the L-shaped vertical bars of channel steel have a vertical member 300 and a horizontal member 30b.
  • the vertical member 30a isprovided with a hole 31 on the upper end, which will serve as connection with the body member 10a of the upper horizontal bar.
  • the rear end of the horizontal member 30b is provided with a hole 32 which will serve as connection with the lower horizontal bar 20.
  • the lower horizontal bar 20 of a angle bar has a horizontal member 20a and a vertical member 20b.

Since these L-shaped vertical bars 30 are of the same shape and dimention, and the tapped holes of the upper horizontal bar 10 are provided at the same spaces as the tapped holes 21 of the lower horizontal bar 20, said two vertical bars 30 can extend parallel to each other. For the same reason, the upper and lower horizontal bar 10 and 20 can be arranged in parallel to each other. In this way, the correct framework of the window railing can be surely constructed.
  • the upper horizontal bar 10 is fixed to the side of the building H by means of a setscrew 15. This setscrew passes through a hole in the rear leg 13 of the arm member 10b.
  • the remainder of the L-shaped vertical bars 30 are fixed to both horizontal bar 10 and in the same manner as the above-mentioned.
  • all of the nine vertical bars 30 may be fixed to them in the second step.
  • the vertical bar that will occupy each end portion of a finished window railing may be selected instead of said bars occupying the central portion in the second step.
  • a single vertical bar 30 may be fixedly attached to one of the two horizontal bars at the second step.
  • the window accessory is a window lattice which is composed of two horizontal bars 10 and 20 and nine vertical bars 30, and these components will be assembled by means of setscrews.
  • This upper horizontal bar 10 consists of a body member 10a of C-shaped cross section and a arm member 10b of U-shaped plate.
  • the body member 10a is provided with a series of nine holes 11 which will serve as connections with the upper ends of the vertical bars 30.
