WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,510, dated June 29, 1897.

Application filed January 19,1897. Serial No. 619,784. (No model.) l

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHAELEs J. CLARKE, of Kingsburg, in the county of Fresno and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

This invention relates to windows, and pertains more particularly to that class in which the sashes are adapted to swing inward as well as to slide vertically, whereby they may be easily and safely cleaned, the particular object of the present invention being to provide improved detachable hinges for the sashes; to provide improved readily-removable beads and bead-fastenings, whereby the sashes may be free to swing, and to provide improved connection between the weighted cords and sash-rails.

VThe invention consists in the novel features of -construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts fully described hereinafter, and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a window frame and sashes provided with my improvements, the sashes being shown swung outward inv solid lines and in position for vertical movement in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line 0c of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the sash-hinges. Fig. 4 Ais a perspectiveview of one of the inner faces of the frame. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the opposite face. Fig. 6 is a detail view of a hinge of slightly-modied form. Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate slightly-modified forms of securing the hinge and bead-fastening sockets in place. Fig. 9 illustrates the connection for the weight-cord and sash. Figs. l0, 1l, and l2 illustrate in Vdetail the bead-fastenings.

A designates the window-frame, and B and and C the lower and upper sashes, respectively, which are adapted to slide therein in the usual manner, the same being provided with weight-cords D. These cords are detachably secured to the sash-rails, each cord carrying a pin E, formed with a split eye E', which is contracted about and thereby secured to the cord, the pin entering socket e of the sash when in operative position and adapted to engage socket c of frame A when the sashes are swung inward, as shown in Fig. l.

For removably securing the hinge-sections I provide Veach sash with two bushings F, the same being secured by screws through perforated lugs F and each formed with a bayonet-slot f to receive hinge-pintles G, having lugs G', which when turned to position in the sockets are securely held. Sockets H, of the same form as bushings F, are embedded in the casing to receive the eye hinge-sections I, the latter being formed with lugs I', whereby they are held in place in the bayonet-slotted bushings, as described, of the hinge-pintles and in which the latter turn. The casing-bushings for the lower sash are embedded in bead J, while those for the upper sash are in the back wall of the way in which the lower sash slides, thus being flushwith the surfaces and entirely out of the way.

I/Vhen not in use, the hinge-sections are simply removed, and one set of hinges will answer for any number of windows iitted with the sockets.

The hinge-pintles may be bayonet-slotted instead of the bushings, as shownV at K, Fig. 6, the bushing in such construction being formed with the internal lug K', about which the slotted pintle may move when inserted. This modified connection applies as well to the eye-sections of the hinges as to the pintles. The bushings for the hinge-sections may be secured in place by an overhanging screw, as at L, Fig. 7, instead of forming said bushings with perforated lugs to receive securing-screws.

. Bead M, inside of the lower sash, is formed in two sections by the oblique cut M', the lower portion being removable to permit the lower sash to swing. Owing to the form of cut the upper end of the lower section wedges back of the lower end of the upper section and is further held by being notched at its upper extremity to embrace the brad fm, driven horizontally into the casing at the j uncture of the bead-sections. The lower eX- ICO tremity of the bead is secured by screw N, which passes therethrough and into the bushing N' in the casing, the socket being formed with internal lug fn, upon which the screw works.

The beads O, which separate the two sashes,

-are removably secured by the laterally-turning angular latches P, the beads being grooved to embrace the latches, as shown at Q, whereby When turned down to position the a combination of bushing portions adapted to be embedded in the window-frame and sash- .y rails with their outer ends flush with the latches are iiush with the bead -surfaces When the upper sash is to be swung, it is lowered in the frame and the hinges areapplied, and for convenience the bead O adjacent the free edge of the sash is out diagonally upward and backward, as shown at R, so that the lower bead-section may be removed to pass the swinging sash, the upper latch Poccurring` at the point Where the bead is cnt,- so as to ovelap the same, and thus hold both sections seeurely in place.

Bushings N may be perforated to receive a securing-screw, as at S, Fig. 4,-oi1 it may be secured in the casing by an overhanging screw, as at S', Fig. 8.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-V 1. The combination of elongated bushings adapted to be embedded in the frame of a Window and also in sashes, and a hinge having elongated pintles. adapted to be removably securedin said bushings, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of elongated bushings adapted to be embedded in the frame of a window and in the sashes, and independent but cooperating hinge-sections having elongated pintles adapted to be remov-ablysecured in said bushings, substantially as. shown and described.

3. In a hinge, the combination of a bushing part and a hinge part, one of said parts being provided with a lug or nib, and the other part `formed with a bayonet-slot, where.- by when the parts are united the lug or nib and slot cooperate to hold the hinge part in place, substantially as shown and described.

4:. In a hinge for the purpose described, the

frame and rail surfaces, and hinge-sections removably secured in the bushings and coperating to swing the sashes laterally, substantially as shown and described.

5. Thecornbination of bushings adapted to be secured to the window-frame and sash rails, the hinge eyefsections, removably se'- enred in the frame-bushings, and the hinge 'pintles removably secured iin the sash=rai1 bushings and at` theirouter ends bent downward to engage the eye=sections in which they turn, substantially as shown and described.v

6. The combination of a window bead formed with the united vertical and trans.- ve-rse depressions, and an angular latch secured to. the,window=fra1ne and adapted to turn in the transverse depression of the bead and its outer angular eind adapted to turn dow-n in theveirtieal bead'd-epression, sub,- stantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence, of two, witnesses. g y
