ELIl-IU R. PETTIT, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
ANTI-RATTLER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 476,406, dated June '7, 1892.
Application filed November 14, 1889. Serial No. 330,258. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
formed integral with either end of the body Be itknown that I, ELIHU R. PETTIT, a citi- A or portion B and bent down from the upzen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Anti-Rattlers, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to anti-rattlers for window-sashes; and it consists of an angular or bent supporting-plate having springs on the limbs thereof, one of the springs being slotted, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter described.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a portion of a sash and window-frame with an anti-rattling device attached thereto embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a detail perspective view of an anti-rattling device shown applied in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a sectional elevation of a window frame and sash, showing my improvement applied thereto. Fig. 4 represents a plan view of one form of blank used in constructing my improved anti-rattler. Fig. 5 represents a detail perspective view of a modified form of the device. Fig. 6 represents a detail perspective view of a further modification.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates the body of a metal blank, having a portion B, adapted to be bent at a right angle or substantially at a right angle to said body portion. The body A is constructed with an extension or tongue D, either made solid or formed with a slot E. A tongue 0 is integrally formed with the portion B and is of a dimension proportionate to said portion B. The extension or tongue D is adapted to be bent down over the body portion A, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, and the tongue 0 is bent down over the portion B, said tongues D and 0 being formed with a swell or bend of concave-convex form, to thereby provide a spring bearing-surface, as fully set forth. WVhen the said tongues have been bent down, as set forth, the portion B is bentat an angle to the body A, and the two tongues D and O are thereby arranged at an angle to each other. It will be seen that said tongues may be per edge thereof or up from the lower edge. The metal employed in constructing the blank will have suiiicient inherent resiliency to cause the tongues to have a spring movement and return to their normal positions when pressure is relieved therefrom, and at the same time produce a pressure against the parts on which they bear. The devices as thus constructed are applied to the windowframe, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, at the upper and lower portions of the lower sash and similarly positioned with relation to the upper sash, or one of the same may be employed, as may be desired, or the device may be applied to the window-sash, if preferred. In the latter case the portion B should be bent in the opposite direction relative to A. The spring-tongue l3 bears against the edge of the sash and the spring-tongue 0 against the outer face of the upper sash and inner face of the lower sash, and the device entire may be applied to either side of the sash, as it is adapted to be used in two positions by turning the same with the free end of the tongues D and 0 depending or extending up ward. The anti-rattler employing the slotted tongue is used with windows having a sashcord, as shown in Fig. 3, said cord moving in the slot E, thereby avoiding any inconvenience with the movement of the cord and fric tion thereof and wear upon the tongue D or abrasion of the cord itself. At the lower part of each sash the device without the slot is adapted to be used, and the slotted one at the upper part for the passage of the cord.
It will be seen that the device holds the sash againstmovement and adjusts itself to the looseness of the same.
I do not limit myself to the exact form herein set forth and shown, as the same may be varied to suit different constructions of the window frame and sash.
When the space between the sash and frame is very small, the device may be made without doubling, as shown in Fig. 6, with only one thickness of metal instead of two, and with the ends slightly flattened or curved to prevent defacement ot' the wood of the frame.
tion, said tongues being bent across said body and bent portions and of concavo-convcx form,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth. 1o
ELIHU R. PETTIT.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
An anti-rattler consisting of abody having 5 a portion bent at an angle thereto, a slotted spring-tongue connected with said body, and
a spring-tongue connected with said bent-por- Vitnesses:
