WINDOW CASING.

ANDREW JONES, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
WINDOW-CASING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 567,240, dated September 8, 1896. Application filed December 30, 1895. Serial No. 573,723. (No model.)
To dZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that l, ANDREW JONES, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Box-Frame VVindow- Casing Construction, of which the following is a specification.
Heretofore it has been customary to make the sides of a casing in box form, mounting a cast-iron pulley and frame in the upper part thereof and cutting out a portion of the inner surface of the box-frame to secure the sashweight to the cord passed over the pulleys. After the weight is fastened the removed piece of the casing is replaced and secured in position. This is verycumbersome and occupies a great deal of time, and is also wasteful of the cord used in connection with the weights, as it is impossible to get at the weight to tie a close knot. Again, in order to place the pulley-frame in position, it is necessary to mortise through the inner side of the boxframe.
My invention relates to an improvement in window-casing construction, and the objects are, first, to construct a light and cheap box frame which is easily accessible; second, in providing means for compensating for shrinkage and prevent rattling of the window, and, third, to provide means whereby the sashweights may be easily and quickly hung; and my invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through the window framing and sashes; Fig. 2, a cross-section of Fig. 1 below theupper cross-piece of the sash; Fig. 3, aperspective view of a part of the casing, and Fig. 4 a perspective view of the sash-weight pulleys and'their support. so
A represents a casing consisting of a back a a side piece a, and a side piece a. Mounted in the upper part of this casing is a section of sheet-iron B, of continuous U shaped form, which is secured to back a by screws b,'and forms a portion of the closing inner side of the casing. Mounted in two of the indented us are sash-pulleys f, carried by a shaft or pin F, extending through the arms to the U s. A plate D, formed of a piece of spring metal,
is placed 011 strips a and a and closes the re maining portion of the inner side of the casing. This strip is preferably bent as shownin Fig. 3 of the drawings, in which two portions are bulged forward, and the center indented to form a dovetailed groove d. Mounted in this dovetail groove is a dividing-strip E, which separates the two window-sashes of an ordinary window. An outer bead a is secured to side piece a and holds one side of part D in position. The other side of piece D is held in a by a longitudinal saw-cut extending throughout the length of a;
To secure sash-weights to sash-cords, piece D is removed, exposing the inner part of the box-casing and allowing easy access to the cords and weights. After the weights are sccured D is replaced and the window-sashes placed in position. The bulged portions of D press against the sashes and take up any lost motion and make a tight joint therewith.
The dividing-strip E is held in place without the aid of screws or nails and may be easily removed and replaced should it become damaged.
The continuous U-shaped frame B maybe stamped or rolled and the pulleys placed therein by machinery, thus doing away with the handling of castings.
I am aware of window-casings having springs mounted so as to take up lost motion, but I know of none having the continuous spring-strip, or of any constructed similar to my arrangement.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combination inla window-casing of a box-frame, having three sides permanently secured together, of a removable metallic strip provided with bulged surfaces, adapted to bear against the sashes and. take up lost motion, forming the inner and closing side of the frame substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination in a window-casing of a box-frame having three sides permanently secured together a removable spring metallic piece, D, provided with bulged surfaces and a dovetail groove, (1, and forming the inner and closing side of the box-frame substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
a box-frame having three sides permanently .a box-frame having three sides permanently secured together of a section of continuous U-shaped iron, B, forming part of inner and closing side of the said frame, a shaft, F, ex- 10 tending through the arms of the U s and pulleys, f, mounted on said shaft in the indented Us, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
