EQP. PHELPS. UAR WINDOW.
No. 504,170. Patented Aug. 29,1893.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD PHELPS, OF SGRANTON, IOWA.'
CAR-WI'NDOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,170, dated August 29, 1893.
Application filed March 8,1892. Serial No. 424,120. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWARD P. PHELPS, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Scranton city,in the countyof Greene and State of Iowa, have invented an Improved Window for Railway-Cars, of which the fol lowing is a specification.
My object is to provide an auxiliary window for cars, adapted to be readily opened,
open and the other closed. Fig. 2 is a per-- spective view of the lower corner of the win dow and some of the surrounding parts of a car, as seen from the inside of a car, showing one of the hinged sashes open and retained stationary by means of a lever pivotally connected therewith.
Referring to said drawings the reference letter A designates the side of a railway car.
B represents a window frame fixed in the side wall of a car and B a vertically movable sash in the said frame. An auxiliary window frame composed of three sashes arranged in a semi-hexagonal shape, in horizontal section, is secured to the side of the car and surrounds the said sash B 0 is a fixed sash or the front part of the complete frame.
0 are sashes hinged to the side edges of the sash C and adapted to swing inward to engage the wall of the carat their outside free edges.
To the lower end portion ofeach one of the hinged sashes O is pivotally connected a lever D in such a manner that the sash can be moved and adjusted thereby relative to the car and retained stationary therewith in a closed position, partly open or entirely open, at the will of the operator, to adapt its position relative to the movement of the car and the wind outside of the car as required to ventilate the car to prevent smoke, &c., from entering the car, and also to facilitate observation of objects outside of the car by a person inside of the car. A staple or loop D is fixed to the bottom C of the auxiliary window in such position relative to each hinged sash (J that it it will inclose the lever D that moves with the sash. A coiled spring F is connected with each loop D in such a manner that it will normally press the lever up as required to allow its notched top edge to engage the loop as required to prevent longitudinal movement of the lever.
In the practical operation of my invention, it is obvious the hinged sashes C can be readily operated by means of the levers D as required to ventilate the car and to exclude smoke, soot, rain, 850., while the car is stationary or in motion.
I claim as my invention- An improved dust proof car window comprising a frame B having a sliding sash B an auxiliary frame 0 having outwardly swinging hinged sashesor frames 0 levers D pivoted to the lower ends of said frames 0* to extend inward through loops D projecting upward from a closed bottom 0 fixed to the car and the frame 0, and springs F connected with said loops, all arranged and combined to operate in the manner set forth for the purposes stated.
