\VILIJIAM JAMES IIORTON, OF HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA.
SCREEN ATTACHMENT FOR WINDOWS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 407,072, dated July 16, 1889.
Application filed August 24, 1888.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM JAMEs IIOR- TON, of Halifax, I OVtt Scotia, Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Screen Attachments for \Vindows, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in that class of window-screen attaclnnents for excluding flies, mosquitoes, dust, &c., in which the screen proper is connected with a sliding sash, so as to be drawn out and stretched when the sash is raised.
My improvements consist in a certain construction and combination of parts, which I will proceed to describe by reference to accompanying drawings, two sheets.
Figure 1, Sheet 1, is a front view of a window frame and sashes having my screen attachment applied and shown in working position, the lower sash being raised and the and screen closed. Fig. 2, Sheet 2, is a vertical transverse section of Fig. 1. Fig. 53 is a front view showing the lower sash raised and the adjacent screen detached and in the folded position beneath the protecting-bar. Fig. t is a vertical section of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on line 5 5 of Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a front view of a portion of a wire screen constructed as I propose.
The window-frame A and upper and lower sashes I3 0 are shown constructed in the usual manner.
I will first describe my screen attachment as applied to the lower sash C. The lower edge of the screen proper 1 is nailed (or otherwise permanently secured) to the window-sill on the inner side of bead. The ends or lateral edges of the screen are connected with and slide 011 rods 2, fixed vertically on the inner sides of the jambs of the windowframe parallel and contiguous to the sash C, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The upper edge of the screen 1 is secured to the recessed under side of the wooden cross-bar 3, which is detach-ably connected with the lower portion of the sash, and has vertical notches or open slots in its ends, Fig. 5, to receive the said rods 2, on which it slides up and down. The means for detachable connection of this screen-bar 3 to the sash are catches 4., which are metal plates pivoted to the inner side of said bar and provided with lateral notches that adapt them for engagement with screws Serial No. 283,674. (No model.)
or studs 5, projecting from the sash, as shown. The portions of the catches which extend above the studs 5 are broadened and curved outward (or forward) from the sash to adapt them to serve as finger-holds for use in raising the sash O.
. The under side of the screen-bar 3 is recessed, and its front edge is extended downward to adapt the bar to cover the screen when folded beneath it, as shown in Fig. 4. This is an important feature, as the screen is not only concealed from View, but also protected (when not in use) from wear and injury in any other manner. The bar 3 also forms an unobtrusive and ornamental cap for the bead of the window-sill. The screen attachment for the upper sash is the same as for the lower sash, save that metal brackets (J are substituted for catches.
The screen may be made of fabric or woven wire. \Vhen made of wire it will be woven in such a manner as to adapt it to fold transversely at suitable intervals of space, Fig. (3, and it may be attached to the guide-rods by means of rings. \Vhen made of fabric I preferably provide it with eyelets, Fig. l, to receive the guide-rolls.
In some cases I propose to make the screen of woolen cloth, which allows due ventilation, and yet prevents the passage of abreeze.
hat I claim is 1. The combination, with the window-sash having studs 5 5 and the vertical rods 2, fixed beside the jambs inside the windowframe, of the folding screen 1, the recessed cross-bar 3, having its ends notched to receive said rods and its front edge. curved downward, and the catches 4, pivoted to said cross-bar and provided with lateral notches and forward projections to'adapt them for the functions specified.
2. The combination, with theupper window-sash and the rods 2, fixed on the inner sides of the jambs, of the recessed cross-bar 3, having its ends notched to receive said rods, the brackets 6, which secure the bar rigidly and permanently to the sash, and the folding screen, arranged as shown and described.
WILLIAM JAMES HORTON.
