WINDOW FRAME AND SASH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. June 5, 1906.

p Application filed April 15,1905. Serial No. 255,689.

To all whom ?it may conccrn:

Be it known that I, HENRY STAIB, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ozone Park, county of Queens, and State of New York, (whose post-office address is Broadway and Napier avenue, Ozone Park, Long Island, New York,) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Frames and Sashes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereoi', in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention is an improvement upon -my Patent No. 608,084, which was granted to me on the 26th day of July, 1898, for an improvement in window frames and sashes.

The object of the invention is to provide a better and more easily operated connection between the different sections of the sashstop.

The object of the invention is also to pro- 'vidle an improved mechani sm for hanging the sas 1.

The invention also has divers other objects which will be fully hereinafter set forth.

The nature of the invention will be fully understood from the following general description and the annexed drawings and will be subsequently pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which are hereby made a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a view of art of a wndow-frame and part of a sash witli a part of my improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a front View of the principal part of the sectional stop, more fully hereinafter described. Fig. 3 is an edge View of the same. Fig. 4 is a sectional View of the same, taken on the line y y of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a part of the frame and sash of a window, showing the relative position of my invention and other parts, more fullyhereinafter described. Fig. 6 is a plan view showing my improved slides, more fully hereinafter described. Figs. 2 to 6, inclusive, are on a larger scale than Fig. 1 to more clearly display the mechanism. Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 2 z of Fig. 6. Figs. 8 and 9 are detail Views showing the parts of my improved slide. Figs. 10 and 11 are detail views of difierent sides of the top of the hanging device, more fully hereinafter described.

A designates the window-frame. Upon the vertical side of this, to receive and guide the sash, is fixed a vertical stop, which comprises three sections F F F". The upper and lower sections F and F" are stationary. The middle section F is movable backward in the groovepin the windo W-frame. (Shown in section in Fig. 5.) In order to facilitate this backward motion, the guides b b are fastened on the upper and lower ends of the stopsection F'. These may befastened by means of screws passing through the holes I) or in any other convenient way. Each of these guides has an extension b", reaching along a part of its side. These extensions are arranged upon contiguous sides of the guides. The ends of the stop-section F on which these guides are fastened, are inclined, as illustrated. On the ends of the stationary stop-sections F and F", which are also inclined, and parallel to the ends of stop-section F', are fastened the plates d, which are parallel to the guides l b', which may befastened by screws passing through the holes d or in any other convenient and available way, and which are engaged by the extensions b". These extensions move in the notches d By this arrangemcnt the stop-section F' is always heldin vertical position. It will, on this account, when at rest and when the sash is in normal position, come to alinement with the sections F and F". Otherwise, except as hereinafter described, the sash is hung in the common way, and when the said section F is in its normal position, as illustrated in full lines in Fig. 3, moves up and down in the common and well-known way. i

To hang the sash E, I gain a plate h into the edge thereof. This may be fastened in its place by means of screws or in any other convenient way. In the middle of this plate is an opening. Upon this plate is placed the hanger H. A convenient screw h', passing through a hole of the hanger H and the hole of the plate h, pivots the hanger on the edge of the sash. This is so arranged that it will not interfere with the groove k' in the edges of the sash, which run on the beads k of the stop. At the upper end of this hanger is an enlargement h, which is pierced through one way with the opening c' other way with the opening i, which only extends into the opening' lc'. This enlargement h" is also cleft with a slot i', which extends to the opening k' and communicates IOO and pierced the the parts are' assembled as illustrated.

It will then be found that if either sash or both sashes be brought' to a position which will clear both the stopsections F and F" a slight pressure of the fingers will push the stop-sections F' backward and allow the sash turning on the pivot h' to swing into a horizontal position. When the sash is returned to normal position, the stopsec'tion F will, by reason of its own gravity, return to alinement and contribute its share toward holding the sash in proper position, and the sash may be moved upward and downward in the common and well-known way.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with window-sashes having grooves in their edges, a windowframe, and vertical sash-stops comprising each different sections, a part of which are stationary and a part movable, fastened on said irame, having longitudinal beads, and arranged so that said grooves are in slidable engagement with the said beads, of guides having extensions on contiguous sides, fastened on the ends of said movable stop-sections, and plates having notches slidably engaging the said extensions of said guides, fastened on the ends of said stationary stop-sections, and arranged to aiiord facility for moving said movable stop-sections, and pivoted pulley connections on the edges of said sashes.

2. The combination with window-sashes having grooves in their edges, a windowframe, and vertical sash-stops therein, comprising each different sections, part of which are stationary and part movable, arranged so said parts are end to end in triplets, and having their adjacent ends so inclined as to be parallel to each other, of guides having side extensions on adjacent sides fastened on the said inclined ends of said movable stop-sections and parallel to each other, plates having notches engaged by said side extensions, fastened parallel to said guides on the ends of said-stationary stop-sections, and together with said guides affording facility for moving said movable stop-sections, and pivoted pulley connections on the edges of said sashes.

3. The combination with window-sashes having grooves in their edges, a windowframe and vertical stops fastened therein, comprising each difierent sections, a' part of r which are stationary and a part movable, ar-

ranged so that such stop-sections are end to &2,785

end in triplets, and have their adjacent ends inclined so as to be parallel to each other, and having longitudinal beads slidably engaged by said grooves in said sash edges, plates pivoted on said sash edges and fiexible pulley connections attached thereto for moving said sashes upon said beads, of guides having side extensions on contiguous sides parallel to each other and fastened on the inclined ends of said movable stop-sections, plates having notches parallel to said guides, engaged by the side extensions thereof, fastened on the ends of said stationary stop-sections, and together with said guides afi'ording facility for moving said movable stop-sections.

4.
