Patented April 24, 1906.

Application filed August 4,1905. Serial No. 272.663.

To u,// m/mmit may (201mm 11 Be it known that I, Josnen BARCLAY Mt- KEowx, a (-itiz'en ol' -the United States, and a resident of lnion llill, in the county of lludson and State of XewJersev, have invented a new and Improved \\"ii1tlo\v-Sasli, of which the following is a lull, clear, and exaet description.

This invention relates partieularlv to improvements in means for seeming glass in fireproof window-sash, the object being to provide in lieu of putty a metallie seeuring strip or strips, the parts being so arranged that the strips may be pressed tightly against a glass ot'any thickness.

I will describe a window-sash embodying m v invention, and then point out the novel features in the appended elaims.

ltel'erenee is to be had to the aeeompanying drawings, forming a part 01 this speeilieation, in whit-h similar eharaeters of reference indieateeorresponding parts in all the tigures.

Figure l is a perspeetive view of a windowsash embodying m v invention. Fig. 2 is a seetion on the line .3 2 of Fig. 1. l lg. 3 is a perspeetive view ol a fastening elip employed; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view ol a portion of one of the seeming-strips.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates a metal sash having a seatti tor the glass 7. Extended outward from the seat 6 are walls 8, p ovided at suitableintervals with slots .l. 'lhe seeming-strips It) are of tubular metal and at the side adapted to engage against thd portion 8 of the sash. The strips are longitudinally slotted, as at 11. Extended through the slot are the lastening elips or plates 12, having head )ortions within the strips to prevent the wit idrawal of said elips. As indirated in Fig. 3, the heads are l'ormed by turning portions of the metal in opposite direetions, as indicated at 13 and 14. ll is to be understood, however, that l do not eontine my invention to this partieular manner of seeuring the elips. It will be further understood that while the slot ll permits ol the.

adjustment of the clips along the strip this: Feature may be omitted aml the elips be rigidly seeured to the strip. The elips pass through the slots 9 and are provided with tapped perforations if) for reeeiving adjusting-serews 1o, whit-h pass outward through the faring-plates ol' the sash. By means ol the serews the elips may be manipulated to press the strips (losel against the glass. and in this manipulation the walls of the slots with whieh the elipsengage erve as l'ulet ums. 'lherelore a eonsiderable leverage may be obtained. lt' nta-essarv. putt v or other sealing material 17 may be. plat-ed between the glass and the portions of the sash.
