WINDOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Pa ented May 22, 1906.

Application filed August 14, 1905. Serial No. 274.050.

Toal whmn it nuty concern:

Be it known that I, HIRAM HYDE, a subj ect of the King of England, residing at Wentworth, in the county of Cumberland, in the Province of Nova Scotia and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Windows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to glass-filled windows that are used for the admission of light or for ventilation, or for both combined; and the objects of my invention are, first, to provide a window having no perpendicular dividingbars and in which the main sash is made in one piece, thus obviating the necessity for the slides, parting-stops, weights, &c., ordinarily used for windows in ventilation secondly, to provide a ready and eflicient means of ventilation and of cleansing the window-glass, and, thirdly, to provide an improved receptacle for boxes for windowgardening or for flower-pots. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the acompa'nying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an interior elevation of the win dow ready to set. Fig. 2 is an exterior elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a section of the window on the line 00 as. Fig. 4 is an en larged section on line a b. Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan of the metal ventilator s, which also serves as a receptacle for boxes, flowerpots, &c. Fig. 6 is a section of Fig. 5 on line 0 (1.

Similar letters refer to similar parts, throughout the several views.

In the drawings, A is the interior sash, which is made in one piece and is held in place by the stops *5. B is the exterior sash, which is also made in one piece and is screwed onto the stops h, leaving an air-space between the bottom and the window-sill d.

C C C are the casings.

e is the stool-cap.

7c is the frame.

a a are fixed lights.

I) b are ventilating-lights fixed in beveled sashes inserted in the main sash between the .71, allowing the top to be swung inward at will, as shown by the broken dotted lines, thus directing the incoming current of air toward the ceiling. These lights can be varied in size, number, or location to suit requirements.

s is a horizontal ventilator which is made of metal and secured, having its upper surface in the plane of the top of the stoolcap 6, thus giving a wide smooth upper surface for the reception of flower-pots, &c., and allowing the variable admission of air under the bottom of the exterior sash and through the apertures 0 0, the quantity being regulated by the slide-bar f, operated by the knob g,

the said slide being located so as to allow of surplus water from washing, overflow from flower-pots, &c., to fiow away freely and can be made in one or more lengths, as desired. Either of the sashes A or B can be removed in summer weather without disturbing the ventilator s'.

In making these metal ventilators I do not confine myself strictly to the form shown in the drawings. This may be varied so long as the principal idea of a slide-bar ventilator is maintained.

I am aware that windows without vertical dividing-bars are not new, and I do not broadly claim such as my invention; but

What I do claim as new, and desire to se cure by Letters Patent, is

The combination in a window of an outwardly and downwardly projecting sill, an interior ventilating-sash resting on said sill, an exterior sash separated by an air-space from said sill, and a slide-bar ventilator located in the horizontal plane of the stool-cap e and adapted to the admission of air from the said air-space substantially as described and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HIRAM HYDE.
