VENTILATING WINDOW-SASH- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 5, 1907.

Application filed October 31, 1.906. ASerial No. 341.401.

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL FELDMAN, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ventilating Window- Sashes, of which the followin is a speciiication, such as will enable those s illed in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to means for ventilating a room or compartment, and the object thereof is to provide an improved Window-ventilator i'or accomplishing this result independent of the window-frame and indepenlclient of any construction connected therewit The invention consists of a window-sash 'adapted to be mounted in a window-frame in the usual manner and provided at one end,

either the top or the bottom thereof, with to pass freely through said screen when suchcondition is desired.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following speciiication, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in Which- Figure 1 is an inside view of the top of a window-frame and showing the upper and lower sashes mounted therein and showin my improved ventilatin device connecte with the top portion of t e upper sash; Fig. 2, a transverse section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3, a vertical section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings forming part of this specication, I have shown an ordinary Windowframe comprising vertical side members a and a transverse top member a2, the bottom portion of the side members and bottom transverse member being broken away together with the bottom part of the bottom` sash. Placed in the frame are the usual top and bottom sashes b and c, and said sashes are provided with the usual transparent or translucent panels b2 and c2, preferably composed of glass, and in\the practice of my invention, as shown in the drawings, I cut out transversely the top art of the transparent or translucent panel If in the top sash b to form atransverse opening d in the sash b, and within the opening thus formed I set or place a screen e. The screen e in the form of construction shown comprises a wire frame e2 and a body portion of wire mesh or other suitable material, and this screen rests directly on the transparent or translucent panel b2 and is held in the sash b in the same manner as said panel or in any preferred way. I also hinge to the top portion of the sash b, as shown at f, a supplemental sashframe g, in which is placed a transparent or translucent panel g2, similar to the panel b2, and thisv sash in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2rests directly on the screen e, and the bottom part thereof covers the connection between said screen and the panel b2, or, when desired, the supplemental sash g may be raised to any desired extent and may be held in the raised position by any preferred means, such as an ordinary transom-lifter.

When the supplemental sash g is down, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the ventilator is entirely closed, and the window-sash is as tight as if no screen was laced therein; but when it is desired to use t e ventilator-screen e the sash g is raised.

The sashes b (and c ma be provided with the usual lock h, by W 'ch they may be locked together in the usual manner, and said sashes may be vertically movable and counterbalanced in 'the window-frame, or they may be provided with any desired means for holding them in any position of adjustment, and while I have shown my improved ventilator'applied only to the top portion ofthe upper sash it will be apparent that the same may be aplplied to the top portion of either side or to t e bottom ortion of either side.

Having fully descri ed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A window ventilator, comprising a transverse screen set into the sash in an opening formed by removing a part of the transparent or translucent panel, and a supplemental sash hinged to the Window-sash and provided with a transparent or translucent panel and adapted to cover the screen when IOO in one position and to be swung aWay from the same so as to permit air to pass therethrough.

2. ln a Window-ventilator, a sash having a 5 transparent or translucent 'panel the top portion ot' Which is removed to form a transverse opening or space7 a ventilator-screen set into said space in the same plane as the transparent or translucent panel, and a supplemental sash hinged to the top portion of the main sash and adapted to cover said screen in one position and to be raised so as to permit air topass therethrough.

3. In a Window ventilator, a Window- [5 frame, a Window-sash mounted therein, a

ventilator set into the Window-sash and occupying a space Jformed by removing a part of the transparent or translucent panel therein7 and a supplemental sash hinged to the Window-sash and adapted in one position to cover the ventilator and to be raised so as to permit air to pass therethrough.

4. -A Window-sash provided With a transparent panel Which only partially fills the same, the balance of said panel being filled by a screen, said sash being also provided with a hinged 'and closed sash member adapted to cover said screen.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in

resence of the subscribing Witnesses, this 30th day of October, 1906.V

SAMUEL FELDMAN. Witnesses:
