WINDOW.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 674,490, dated May 21, 191.
Application filed February 9, 1901. Serial No. 46,613. (No model.)
To all whom t 11m/ U concern,.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE H. WATKINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improver'nents in Windows, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in windows, with especial reference to that class of windows used for cellars, basements, dac.
The objects of my invention are,first,to provide a window which will prevent water from entering from the exterior, owing to rain or snow, or the spray from a lawn-sprinkler being driven against the window; second, to provide means for readily opening and removing a window of the above-described class, and, third, to provide against accidental disengagement of the window from its support.
In the following description reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of the interior surface of my improved window and its supporting-frame, with dotted lines indicating its position when raised preparatory to swinging it to the open position. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of'my window as it appears when closed, with dotted lines showing the same raised and swung from the supporting-ledge. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views, respectively, of the slotted brackets in which the window is hung. Fig. 5 is a detail View of a modified form of ledge.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.
1 is a window-sash, and 2 the casing.
3 is the window-sill, which is provided with a ledge 4, against which the inner surface of the lower bar of the window-sash abuts when the window is closed. The window-sill is inclined downwardly and outwardly, and the ledge projects upwardly at or near its inner edge.
The ends of the window-casing are provided with brackets 6 and 7, respectively, these being located at or near the upper corners of the casing. The bracket at the lefthand corner of the casing is shown in the drawings as provided with a slot 8 of a length equal to or exceeding the height of the ledge 4. The bracket 7 (shown at the upper right-hand corner of the casing) is provided with a similar slot 9, which differs, however, from the slot 8 in that it is open at the upper end and adapted to permit the window to be raised vertically when in the open position until the pintle 10 is disengaged, while the slot of the bracket 6 is closed and permits the disengagement of the pintle 11 only when the pintle l0 has been rst disengaged from the bracket 7 and the window is moved laterally to withdraw the pintle 11 longitudinally from the slot 6. In order to prevent an accidental disengagement of the pintle 10 from the slot 9, I have provided a bracket 7 with a hook-latch 12. This is pivoted at 13 to the bracket and is provided with a depending and inwardlyprojecting portion of sufficient weight to automatically swing the upper or hooked end of the latch to a position covering the open end of the slot 9, so as to prevent the release of the pintle 10 if the window should be accidentally pushed upwardly.
The casing of the window is recessed at 14 and permits the lower end of the latch to be pushed into the recess, thus causing the upper or hooked end of the latch to move backwardly away from the slotted portion of the bracket, whereupon if the window be open it may be readily removed by raising it to disengage the pintle 10 and then moving it laterally to withdraw the pintle 1l from the slot 8. It will be observed that the hooked latch is so located that it will not interfere with a vertical movement of the window sufficient to enable it to clear the ledge e, and it will therefore be seen that the window may be readily opened or closed without manipulating the latch, the latter being withdrawn only when it is desired to remove the window entirely.
The upper edge of the latch is angularly cut or faced at 16, so that when the window is being replaced the engagement of the pintle on the part 16 of the latch will automatically push the latter out of the path of the pintle and permit the same to enter the slot, Y
IOO
again st which the upper frame-bar of the window impinges when the Window is in the closed position, thus leaving no open space above the window.
In Fig. 5 I have illustrated a modied form of ledge, in which the window-sill is provided with a tongue or rib adapted to enter a corresponding groove in the lower bar of the window-sash. It will be understood, however, that I do not limit my claims to any spe- Y cie form of ledge, as it is obvious that any interacting or lapping projections on the window bar or sill which are adapted to prevent water from flowing or being driven over the sill under the window-frame will come within the scope of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with a window frame and sill, having water-excluding interacting or lapping projections; of sliding hinged connections for said window-frame, adapted to permit a vertical movement of the window, sufficient to disengage said projections and permit the Window to swing, the casing and hinges being formed and arranged to permit the window to swing over the sill projections.
2. The combination with a window frame and sill, having interacting or lapping projections; of hinge-pintles and slotted brackets mounted on the window frame and casing, respectively, the slots in said brackets being of a length suicient to permit a vertical movement of the Window in the casing equal to or exceeding the height of said projections, the casing and hinges being formed and arranged to permit the window to swing over the sill projections. l
3. The combination of a window frame and sill,having interacting or lapping projections;
of hinge-pintles and slotted brackets mounted on the window frame and casing respectively, the slots in said brackets being of a length sufficient to permit a vertical movement of the window in the casing equal to or exceeding the height of said projections, the slot of one of said brackets being open, and said bracket being provided with a hooked latch adapted, when in normal position, to prevent the dis engagement of the pintle from said slot.
4. The combination of a window frame and sill,having interacting or lapping projections; of hinge-pintles and slotted brackets mounted on the window frame and casing respectively, the slots in said brackets being of a length sufficient to permit a vertical movement of the window in the casing equal to or exceeding the height of said projections, said latch having an angular upper edge in the path of the hinge-pintle when 'the window is being replaced, whereby said pintle will cause the automatic retraction of said latch when being inserted in the slot of the bracket.
The combination with a window casing and frame, having interacting or lapping projections on the upper and lower bars thereof, said casing being formed to permit ot' a limited vertical movement of the window therein, sufficient to permit the disengagement and clearance of the projectionson the lower bars of the casing and frame respectively; suitable hinges connecting the window frame with the casing, and adapted to permit the aforesaid vertical movement o the window-frame, whereby the window-f rame m ay be first raised and then swung to its open position.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
