SUPPORT FOR WINDOW-SASHES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 571,551, dated November 17, 1896. Application filed November 13, 1895. erial No. 568,751. (No model- T0 (tZZ whont it may (lo/worn:
lie it known that l, LUZEENE M. BoLLEs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for \VindowSashes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to improvements in supports for window-sashes, and the object thereof is toprovide improved means whereby the sashes of a window may be revolved on their supports, so as to provide means for the proper ventilation of apartments, a further object being to provide sliding stiles or bars by which the window-sashes are supported, said stiles or bars being provided with countcrbalance-wcights by means of which they, together with the window-sashes which are pivotally connected therewith, maybe raised or lowered to any desired point; and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangen'ient of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a windowframe, together with the window sashes mounted thereon, said window-sashes being supported according to my invention and a portion of the construction being shown in section; Fig. 2, a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, showing the outer sides of the stiles or bars between which the window-sashes are pivoted, one of said sashes being tilted on its pivots; Fig. 3, a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4., a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 5; Fig. 5, a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6, a vertical section through a portion of the frame, a portion of one of the sliding stiles or bars, and a portion of one of the sashes, showing the construction of one of the springs employed in connection with the sliding stiles or bars; Fig. 7, a similar section showing the means by which the sliding stiles or bars are supported, and Fig. 8 a side view of said stile or bar.
In the drawings forming part of this appli cation, A represents the usual side bars of a window-frame, ii the top thereof, and (.1 the h bottom, and the sides A are provided with the usual beads or strips 1), E, and F, between which the separate sashes are mounted and in the practice of my invention I support the separate sashes of the window, which are shown at G and II, in the following manner: The separate vertical beads or strips D, It, and F form two vcrti'cal spaces, and in each of these vertical spaces I place vertically movable stiles or bars It, two being employed in connection with each sash, one on each side thereof, and these stiles or bars are preferably of the same length as the windowsashes with which they are connected, and secured to these stiles or bars are the cords or chains L by which they a re supported, said cords or chains being connected with weights (not shown) by which the stiles or bars and the window-sashes are counterbalanced in the usual manner. In connecting these chains or cords with the stiles or bars K, I form in the outer sides of the upperends thereof vertical slots or grooves M, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, and at the lower ends of these slots or grooves M, Lset intcsthe stiles or bars a circular plate m, the upper side of which is cut away, so as to form an angular notch or recess m, and said circular plate m is provided on its lower edge with an inwardly-dirccted se mental flangc m and at each side of the angular notch or recess m with inwardly-directed lugs or shoulders m and the chains or cords L are secured in place by means of a cross-bar m, which is passed behind these shoulders or projections m as shown in Figs. 7 and 8.
Each of the stiles or bars K is provided on its outer side and near its upper and lower ends with spring-operated plates N, set into oblong slots or recesses it, formed in the sides of the-stiles or bars. The outer surface of these plates is beveled at the upper ends thereof, as shown at n, and the inner surface thereof is beveled at the lower end, as shown at a and the lower ends of said plates are secured to the stiles or bars by a screw a or in any preferred manner.
Secured to the inner side of the free or upper end of the plates N is an inwardly-dil't-cttttl. cylinder it, which passes through the stile or bar, and formed around the same is an annular chamber, in which is mounted a spiral spring if, the object oi. which is to force the plate N outward against the sides A of the window-Frame, and thus Force the stiles or bars inwardly.
lhe sash-frames are pivotally connected with the stiles orbars K attherenter thereof, as shown at O in l igs. l and L, and this pivotal connection ismade in the following manner: The vertical sides of the sash-frames are provided on their outer surfaces with longitudinalgrooves l, which may be of any desired shape in cross-section, and the adjacent surfaces of the stiles or bars h. are provided with corresponding longitudinal beads onbeveled portions I", which are adapted to fit therein, and sunk into thcsides of the sashes in the bottom of the longitudinal grooves l are plates R, which are provided centrally with outward iy-directed cylindrical extensions R, which extend part way through the stiles or bars K, as shown in Figs. 4. and 5, and said stiles or bars K are provided at this point on their outer surfaces with cavities or recesses Ar.
Passing through the cylindrical extension 1% of the plates K are pivot-pins S, through the inner end of which is passed a pin S, which rests in a chamber beneath the plates R, and mounted on the outer ends of said pivotpins within the cavities or recesses K is a plate 7. which is held in place by a pin 7: and between the plate 7; and the end of the cylindrical extension R of the plate R is a spiral spring 'l.
It will be understood that the sashes are free to revolve on the pivot-pins S and between the stiles or bars K, and that said stiles orbars project beyond the beads or strips D, E, and F, and when the sashes are closed or in the normal position the said stiles or bars are forced inwardly, so that the longitudinal rib or convex portion P enters the longitudinal groove or concave portion P of the sashes, and thus forms a close fit and airtight connection between said sashes and the stiles or bars.
The longitudinal grooves P or concave por- 'tions of the sides of the sashes may be of any desired form in cross-section, and the corresponding longitudinal convex portion of the stiles or bars must be adapted to fit therein, and when the sashes are closed, as hereinbefore stated, these parts are forced together by the action of the springs n on the plates N, as hereinbefore described, and when the sashes are tilted on their pivotal connection, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the stiles or bars are forced outwardly by reason of the formation of the joint between said stiles and bars, said joint comprising the longitudinal grooves P or concave portion of the sashes and the longitudinal beador concave portion P of the stiles or bars.
Whenever it is desired to open or revolve one of the sashes, it is only necessary tocateh hold of either the lower or upper end thereol' and to pull ilnvardly or shove outwardly thereon, as will be readily understood, and this operation will result in turning the sash on its pivotal supports, as shown in l igs. J and I and in this operation the stiles orbars K are forced outwardly, so as to fill or nearly [ill the space between the same hnd the sides of the window-i'ranie, and by reversing this operation the sash may be turned to the closed position, in which position the stiles or bars K will be forced inwardly by the springs n, as hereinbefore described.
It will be understood, of course, thatch-her of. the sashes, the upper or the lower one, may be turned or revolved imlepeinlently of the other, or that both of said sashes may be turned or revolved together, and it will be also understood that when it is desired to revolvc the lower sash it must be raised, so that the lower side thereof will be free from the strip or head at the bottom of the frame, and when it is desired to revolve the upper sash the same must be lowered, so that it will be free from the strip or bead at the top of the frame.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the window-sashes are supported entirely and solely by the vertically-movable stiles or bars K and that these stiles or bars are provided with the usual counterbalance weights and cords, and my invention is not limited to the exact form, construction, and arrangement of parts herein shown and dc scribed; and I therefore reserve the right to make all such alterations therein and modi fications thereof as fairly come within the scope of the invention.
In the construction herein shown and dc scribed I also employ loops or staples U, which are set into the side of the sashes II and in the bottoms of\tl1e concave portions or grooves P, and the object of these staples or loops is to provide a bearing-surface against which the ends of the cylinders 01 strike, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6, and which serve to press the plates N outwardly audio prevent the shaking or rattling of the sashes when the latter are closed.
Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination with a window-frame provided with the usual beads orstrips at each side thereof between which the window-sashes are mounted, of vertically-movable stiles or bars mounted in the spaces formed by said beads or strips, and provided with counterbalance-weights, which are secured thereto by means of plates-as m, which are set into the sides of said stiles or bars, said plates being provided with notches or recesses in their upper sides and Wit11inward'ly-directcd shoulders or projections behind which are placed bars or rods with which are connected cords or chains which are also connected. with said weights, said stiles or bars being pmvidcd with longitiuliual grooves or slots in which said cords or chains are placed, substantially as shown and described.
