WINDOW-SASH.

SPECIFICATION formigpart of Letters Patent No. 471,663, dated March 29, 1892. Application luttant 25,1891. serial No. 397,477. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STINA O. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Englewood, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Window-Sash, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in window-sashes; and it has for its object to' provide a sash whereby ready access may be had to the glass therein and to all parts thereof for the purpose of cleansing the glass, for facilitating the insertion of new panes to supplement broken glass, and also to avoid the objection of painting the frame inclosing the glass, and particularly in orderthat both time and labor nlay be economized in cleansing the glass.

With these objects in View the invention consists of a sash provided with a removable supplemental frame within which is secured the ordinary window-pane, the same being ar# ranged and constructed in the novel manner described, illustrated in the drawings, and

specifically pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of a sash constructed in accordance with my invention, illustrating the supplemental sliding frame therein in its withdrawn position. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View of both sashes constructed as described. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View of a single sash embodying the features described.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the ordinary upper sash, located within the usual window-casing, and the lower sash (designated by the numeral 2) occupies the usual relative position to the upper sash, while both sashes are provided with the usual beveled meeting .edges 3 and 4. Within the side rails of each sash are grooves 5, which communicate with a bottom groove 6, located within the bottom rail of each and form together ways within which the supplemental sash or frame 7 slides and is seated, the salne carrying the ordinary pane of glass 8, fitted thereinin the customary manner, and are provided attheir upper edgeswith the cross-cleats 9, which when the said sliding frame or sash is seated within the main frame takes into the shoulders l0, located at the upper ends of the side rails of the main sash, and besides forming an additional seat for the supplemental tion is thought to be apparent without further description. In order that the supplemental sash or frame in the upper sash may be removed, the lower sash is raised and the upper sash lowered a sufficient distance to allow the supplelnental frame to be slid therefrom, while from the lower sash the supplemental sash or frame maybe removed therejfrom while both sashes are in their normal positions. It can be now readily seen how the frames can be readily removed in order to wash the panes of glass Without soiling the wood-work, and vice versa, and that the woodwork may be painted without soiling the panes.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is p In a window-sash, the main sash-frame provided with the inner side grooves, the'bottom communicating groove or recess, and the inner shoulders lO, located at the upper ends of the sides of said sash, and a supplemental frame or. sash having the ordinary windowlight fitted therein, vertically sliding and seat.- ed within said grooves and provided with an upper transverse cross-cleat 9, which is adapted to take Within said shoulders l0 and rest flush with the top of the sash-frame, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afxed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

v STINA C. YOUNG.
