UNITED i STATES PATENT OFFICEo GEORGE WORTH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 660,235, dated October 23, 1900.

Application filed December 7, 1899. Serial No. 739,@78. (No model.)

Tn @ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that l, GEORGE WORTH, a citizen ofthe United States,residin g at New York, (Brooklym) in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Windows, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to revolving windowsashes, and one object thereof is to provide a window frame and sash therefor which shall be' capable of easy manipulation, which will permit adjustment of the' sash to balance lthe same accurately, which sash shall be held closely in contact with the stop-,beads to make an approximately air-tight connection and prevent rattling, and in which the sash is supported by the sash cords or chains in such manner that the strain of the sash-weights upon the sash through the medium of the sashcords is always applied vertically, whereby the sash may be positively and evenly raised and lowered.

With these and other objects in View my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, in which like reference characters denote like parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a central sectional elevation of a window constructed according to my invention; Fig. 2, a vertical section of a portion of said window-frameand a vertical elevation of a portion of said sash connected therewith and partly cut away to show the internal construction, the whole being on an enlarged scale; Fig. 3, an edge view of a portion of said sash and a member thereof, being in altered position and upon `au enlarged scale; Fig. 4, an edge view of a portion of said sash upon an enlarged scale; Fig. 5, a vertical section of a portion of said sash, several of the parts being shown in full lines; and Fig. 6, a transverse section of the side of the sash and a supplemental member connected therewith.

In the practice of my invention I provide a window-frame 7, the vertical portions 8 of which are provided with the usual stop-beads 9, and between which slidably operate the sashes, respectively designated by the general reference characters 10 and 11, provided with window panes l2. The construction and mounting of-the sashes l0 and 11 are the same, and for simplicity I will refer to but one th`ereof, 10, in the following description, the reference characters referring to both.

Each of the sides Vl2 of the sash 10 is chambered at 13, and a plate 14 is secured to the yside edgeof the sash across the orifice of said chamber by fastening devices 15, and t-he central portion of said plate is struck up at 16 and provided with a longitudinal slot 17. A plate 18 tits the central portion 16 of the plate 14 and is shorterthan the same and capable of adjustment longitudinally thereof, being connected with the slot 17 therein by bolts and nuts 19. The sash 10 is provided lat each side with a coextensive supplemental member consisting of a strip 2O of suitable material fitted thereto by a plurally-curved surface which matches a similar edge surface of the sash side 12, as shown at 21 in Fig. 6. The strip 2O ts between two of the stop-beads 9 and is transversely chambered at 22 and provided with a casing 23, which is set thereinto and secured thereto at 24. The casing 23 is annularly anged upon its inner edge at 25, and the plate 18 is provided with an outwardly-directed collar 26, which projects into the chamber 22 and upon which the sash 10 hangs, the flanges 25 operating as bearings therefor. The sash 10 is thus free to swing upon the collars 26 at each side thereof, and as the plates 18 can lbe adjusted relative to the plates 13 by means of the slots 17 and fastening devices 16 the sash may always be maintained in equilibrium. A stud 27 is secured in each of the collars 26, and a coiled spring 28 is imposed thereon and upon the collar 26, operating within the chamber 22 and against the flange 25 and a detachable cap 28, passed upon the stud 27 and secured thereon by a pin 29. The strips 20 exactly fill the spaces between the stop-beads 9, between which latter they operate, and the sash may thus entirely swing free thereof.

Above the chamber 22 the strip 20- is chambered at 30, communicating with a continuous chamber 3l, extending to the adjacent end of said strip. A plate 32 is set into the IOO strip 2O directly beneath the chamber 30 and secured in place by a fastening device 33. The plate is provided with a hooked upper end 34, which is directed into the chamber 30. A link member (denoted bythe general index character is provided with a lower transverse end 36 which iits the hooked end 34 of the plate 32 and is free to turn therein, aud with parallel vertical sides 37 and acu rved upper transverse end 38, provided with a central slot 39. The sides 37 of the link 35 are provided with cheeks 40, in which are pivoted side bearings 4l of a pivoted plate 42, provided at its upper end with an inwardlydirected hook 43, which operates within the chamber 30 and between the sides of the link member 35.

The sash-supporting cord or chain 44 is passed through the slot 39 in the end 3S and engaged with the hook 43, and the other end thereof passes upwardly, as shown in Fig. 1, and about a pulley 45, set into the side 7 of the window-frame, and thence passes downwardly in the usual chamber in the frame, (not shown,) where it is connected with the sash-weight.

A screw-stud 46 is sunk into the strip 20 within the lower portion of the chamber 30, and loosely mounted thereon is a frameshaped device 47, secured in position uponY said stud by a washer 48 and nut 49, and t-he frame-shaped portion device 47 is provided at the upper end with heads 5l, in which are journaled the end bearings 52 of a roller 53, which is provided with a central peripheral beveled rim 54. The heads 5l are connected by a circular crossdiead 55, which carriesa central stud 56, which operates within the chamber 30 and within an opening 57 in the strip 20. Ahelical spring 58 is imposed upon the stud 56 and normally projects the frameshaped device 47 or the upper end thereof, said spring bearing upon the cross-head 55 and the strip 20 adjacent the opening 57. rlhe strips 2O at either side of the sash are also chambered at 59 below the chambers 22, and the frame-shaped device 47, roller 53, rim 54, cross-head 55, stud 56, spring 5S, and connected parts are duplicated in said chamber 59. The rims 54 of the rollers 53 bear operatively against the sides S of the window-frame 7 between the stop-beads 9, being pressed thereagainst by the springs 58, and thus serve as antirattlers for the sash, causing the same to occupy a rigid position in the windowframe. In operating said rims form grooves in the frame sides 8, in which they operate.

The sash hangs upon the sash-chain 44, which is connected with the pivoted plate 42, which is pivoted to the link member 35, which in turn is pivoted to the plate 32, and hence the sash-chains always pull vertically upon the sash, and the sashes and strip members 2O ride vertically between the stop-beads 9. The sashes may also be swung in a vertical plane, as shown in Fig. l, upon the collars 26, which bear upon the flanges 25, and by means Y of the relatively-adjustable plates i4 and i8 the sashes may always be maintained upon a true pivotal center.

I have shown but one side of the sashes as provided with myim proved const ruciion; but. it is understood that the latter is duplicated upon the other side and that both sashes 1.0 and ll are identical in regard to the improved construction described.

I do not limit myself tothe specific construction and arrangement of parts herein specified, but reserve the right to vary the same within the scope of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The herein-described windowsash which operates in connection with a window-frame provided with stop-beads, comprising a main sash portion provided at the sides with chambers in which are sunk slotted plates; and su pplemental sash members, comprising strips which fit between said stop-beads and are chambered to receive bearing-casings, other plates adjustably connected with said firstnamed plates and provided with bearing devices which operate in connection with the bearing-casings in said supplemental strips, said bearing devices being provided with spring-projected extensions which operate within said chambers in said strips, said strips being further chambered and provided therein with pivotally-mounted devices with which the sash cords or chains are pivot-ally connected and with loosely-mounted tensional devices which bear upon the window-frame, substantially as shown and described.
