SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 500,169, dated June 27, 1893. Application tiled December 17, 1892. Serial No. 455,448. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEONARD TREMMEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Walton, in the county'of Delaware and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Cellar-Window, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cellar windows: and it has for its object to provide an improvement in windows of this character. which shall possess special strength and shall be adapted for summer and winter use alike. It is well known that the weight which settles on the ordinary wooden frames of cellar windows,and which therefore lose their shape and the sashes thereof in time cannot be moved, and with particular reference to this point the present invention contemplates a strong frame which always keeps'its shape and allows the sashes thereof to be manipulated as found necessary. The window is so constructed as to allow for a free circulation of air during the summer and for keeping out the cold air and frost of winter.

With these and other objects in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings z-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cellar window, showing the outer sash swung open and the inner sash closed. Fig. 2 is a front elevation from the outer or screen side of the window. Fig. 3 is 'a central vertical transverse sectional view of the window showing both sashes closed. Fig. 4 is a similar View showing both sashes open; Fig. 5 is a detail in perspective of the hinge joint for both sashes. Fig. 6 is adetail view of one of the screen clamping' strips. Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view of the beveled joint of the inner sash with the internal rib or flange. Fig. 8 is a detail view showing one of the spring key fastenings.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, A represents an open rectangular metallic window frame, that is designed to be arranged horizontally in position within a wall at the usual place where cellar windows are located. The said open rectangular frame is provided at opposite inner ends with the perforated lugs B, which are aligned with.

similar lugs In, of the separate rectangular extension frame O, which is securely bolted or clamped to main frame A, by means of the bolts D passing through the meetinglugs. The said lugs are built into the wall `and serve to hold the sectional frame firmly in position within the wall, and between the two sections at their meeting edges is interposed a suitable packing strip d, so as to keep out frosty air from within the window frame. The two frames A, and C, when clamped together comprise a frame of the necessary width for the wall in which the sameis placed. The said frame A, which is oblong as well as rectangular, is provided at a point adjacent to the meeting edges of both frames with the internal inwardly projecting continuous rib or iiange E, which is designed to be arranged within and at the central point between the outer edges of the two frames.

Projecting outwardly from one side of the upper portion of the continuous rib or fiange E, are the hinge eyes F, which loosely receive the opposite ends of the sliding hinge rod f, which is also designed to engage corresponding hinge eyes G, at the upper edge of the inner metallic swinging sash H. The inner' swinging sash H, is provided adjacent to the hinge eyes G, thereof with the notches h, working over the hinge eyes ofthe rib or flange, and is designed to have the eyes G, at one side of and in alignment with the eyes F, so that by grasping the central finger portions f of said hinge rod, and sliding the same in either direction, to first disengage one end thereof from a pair of eyes and then from the other eyes, the said inner sash can easily be removed, or on the other hand easily placed in position, while at the same time avoiding ordinary hinge lugs which usually provide permanent hinge fastenings.

The inner swinging sash H, is provided with a series of light openings I, which are closed by the ordinary window lights J, to furnish the necessary light to the cellar, and said inner sash is further provided at its inner side with the beveled Bange K which registers with the beveled edge 7e, of the internal rib or flange so as to form a perfectly tight joint when closed. The lower edge of the inner sash is notched as at L, so as to pass the eye IOO Z, projecting upwardly from the bottom of the frame A,and" adapted to receive `a spring fastening key Z', when the inner sash is closed to hold the same, until said key is removed. A swinging hook Z2, is loosely connected to the lower end of said swinging sash so as to hold the same open as will be described.

The inner or cellar side of the window frame is inclosed by the outer swin ging sash H. The

outer swinging sash M, is larger than the inner sash H, but is a duplicate construction thereof in every particular and is hinged to the upper edge of the frame A, by the sliding hinge rod f, which engages similarly arrangedr nected to the lower end ofy theouter sash H',

and when the said sash i` swung up to open;` the window the -said hook Z3, is hooked into engagement with a suitablel loop or eye attached to the floor or cellar ceiling. the outer swinging sash H', is opened, the inner swinging sash is also swung up and is held suspended by means ofits swinging hook Z2, engaging an eye or loop M, projecting fromi the inside of the outer sash H'. In this posi-` tion with both sashesswung up` and open, a: free circulation of air is allowed to pass through the window frame into the-cellar;

Arranged to be removably securedA withini the windowvframe tothe opposite side of theA internal ribortlange E,from theinner sashl is the screen N.. The screen N, is cut in the necessarysize to tit within the window frame and over the pin eyes n, projecting outwardlyf from-that side of the internalrib or flanges Against the upper and lower edges of the screen are clamped thev opposite clamping;A strips O. The clampingstrips O, are provided? withfthe notches 0, which embrace saidlpin; eyes so as to allow the locking; pins P,A to be inserted through said eyes in front of said.

locking strips thereby holding the screenf lirmlyand removably in position.`

In order to prevent Water from running; fromthe-outside through thewindow frame, I: employ a beveled. or inclined block Q, whichi is arranged within the extension section (Landi has the highend thereof resting against the lower edge of the screen sothat water cannot possibly find an entrance through the wine` dow.

Now it will be readily seen that inwinteri` the screen may be removed if soK desired, andi the two duplicate sashes locked firmly in al closed position. A warmvair space will therefore,u be formed between the two. sashes, so` that the cold from the outside cannot penetrate into the cellar. On the other hand in1 summer the two sashes may be swungup and.1V f

culation of air admitted to the cellar through the screen which keepsaout foreign matter, flies, &c.

Changes in the form, proportion and .the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any'ofithe advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
