To (1J/'Z whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that l, WILLIAM M TAYLOR, s. citizen of the United States, residing utJlfVeston, in the county of Lewis sind YState of irl/est Virginia, have invented n new and useful Window-Sash, of which the following is a l specification.

This invention relates towindoW-sashes, l and has for its object to provide n device of the class embodying vnew ond improved means for Ventilating the room in which the window is located.

lt is highly desirable to be able tov ventilato a room both near the top `end bottom and which is ordinarily accomplished by moving the u per sash sli htly down from the top i and t e bottom sus slightlyr up from the bot l tom of e window. l

It is 'an object of this invention to provide l means whereby en aperture may be opened l at the top or bottom, or both, of a window and without `necessitating the unlocking of the sashs and insuch manner as to prevent rein from beatingin to the opening.

A further object of the invention is to provide apertures at the top of the top sash and bottom of the bottom sash of a Window in which are horizontally-pivoted closures and means for securing the closures in a closed position.

With these and other objects in vew`the 1 present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter 'fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that che es in the form, proportions, size, and minor etails may be made without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of its advantages.

In the' drawings, Figure 1 is c view in front elevation of a Window embodyingthis invention. Fig. 2 is e vertical sectional view of a window embodying this invention and taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. 1

Like characters of reference designate corres ending parts throughout both the views,

its pre erred embodiment the invention forming the subject-matter of this e plication cornfrises ewindow-casing 10, having the ge 11 and top jamb 12. Within the l .Adjacent tie top f inry cross-bar 15 is with e pane easing is verticallf slideble in the usual u1anner the up er ses 1' 13 and the lower sash 14.

of the up er sash an auxilprovidedend which forms the upper iraniefpmce for holdingl the pane 16. e freine-piece I5 is beveled along its upper edge with on outward decline 17, and in the aperture between the cross-bar 15 and the upper end criiss--bar 18 of the frame is pivoted at 19 and 2U the frame 2.1, having its ower bur 22 beveled, as et 23, to cooperate with the bevel 1740i the bar 15. The frame 21. is engularly movable in a vertical plane about the pivots 19 and 20 and .may be filled 24 of colored or clear glass or other nmtcrial. To hold the frame 21 in a closed position, any ordinary and' approved Ineens nmy be applied and shown conven tionallj;7 as a turn-button 25.

The lower sash is provided adjacent its bottoni cross-ber .36 with an auxiliary crossbar 27, between which is piv'oted the frame 28 similar to tile frame 21 and held b a, like fastening, as t e turn-button 29. v ith the frames 21 and 28 in the position shown it is obvious that the room will be ventilated at both the top and neer the bottom, and that owing to the tilt of the fra-mes rain is not likely to enter the apertures, and that when closed the beveled points of Contact serve to exclude the weather.

Havin thus described the invention, what is clailne is- A ventilator com rising en upper and u lowerV sash, euch. sash) comprising side, u per and lower rails permanently connecte to form a rigid frame, and an intermediate rail permnently secured to the side rails of each sash and extcndin transversely thereof, the intermediate rail o the upper sash being disposed nearer to the upper rail of said sash than to the lower rail, and the intermediate rail of the lower sash bein disposed nearer to the lower rail of said sas than to the upper rail, glass fixedly secured between the in termediate and lower rails of the upper sash and between the intermediate and upper rails of the lower sash, a panel pivoted within the upper sash between. the intermediate and u'p er rails, n panel pivoted in the lower sash between the intermediate und lower rails,
