SKYLIGHT-OPERATOR- Specification of Letters laten.
Patented. Feb. 19, 1907,
Application filed March 5.1906. Serial No. 304,192.
To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY F. RUssnLL, a citizen of the United States, and resident of S 'racuse, in the count; of Onondaga, in the State oi New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sk; light-Operators, of wnich the following, taken in connection with the accompair L ng drawings, is a full, clear, and exact descinption.
This invention relates to the class oi sk' lights or scuttles which are hinged to the frame surrounding the opening; and the invention cons. sts in improved means for expeditiously and conveniently opening and closing the sk' light or scuttle, as hermnalter describ ed and claimed.
In the accompan 'ing drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are vertical longitudinal sections of a skylight embed 'ing my improvements shown in open and closed positions. Fig. 3 is a horizontal transverse section on the line 3 3 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged transverse section oi the push-bar, taken on the line i 4 in Fig. 1. Figs. 5 and 6 are enlarged front and s de views, respectively, of the means for locking and unlocking the skylight. Fig. 7 is a s-de View of a modification ofsaid locking and unlocking means, and Fig. 8 is a transverse section on the line 8 Sin Fig. 7.
Sinnlar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
(t represents the frame which sur ounds the opening to which the skyli ht is applied.
1) denotes the skylight orscuttle, which may be of any su-table construction and shape to properly fit to the frame a, to which it is connected by means of suitable hinges c c.
D represents a push-b ar for raslng the sk'V- light to its open postion. I prefer to make this push-bar adjustable in length to adapt it for sk'flights of di'fl'erent sizes. This adjustabiLtf/ I prefer to obta;..n by constructing the I said push-bar of telescopicall' ,'jointed members (Z (Z.
The upper end of the member (Z is hinged at e to a bracketf, attached to the skylight or scuttle at a short dstance from the free edge thereof. Said member consists of a metal tube which is split longitudinally, as shown atg in Fig. 4, to render it compressible and capable of tightly embracing the upper end portion of the lower member (1, which is in serted therein. A spLt collar or band It embraces the split portion of the upper member (1 and is formed with perforated ears h it, receiving through them a bolt 'i, provided with a nut i, by m vans of which the cellar It can be t. ghtcncd to cause the member d to firmly clamp the member d therein. By loosening the said cells: the lower member is permitted to be pushed a greater or less dstance into the upper member, and thus adjust the length oi the push-bar l) as ma. be desrcd.
j j e b'...ces "write hjngcd at one end to brackets It 7., att: -cd to the skylight or scuttle I) n a: the lnnged edge therecl and at short d-stances from the side edges. Sad braces converge from the. r sand hnged ends and have the opposite ends perforated and 'litted to the cute: sdes oi the cars h h oi" the split collar h and receiving through them the bolt t, which thus serves the additional function of piyetall connect" g sad braces to the push-bar 1).
Said pivotal connection allows the collar h to be adjusted lengthwse of the push-bar to obtain '})l'()})0l'-(501t0ti011 of the braces with the puslnbar.
Z represents a latch lor'locking the skylight or scuttle b in its closed position. Said latch is hinged at its lower end, as shown at Z, to a plate n, which is fastened to the inner side of the frame a by screws a n, as more clearly shown in Fig. 5. The upper end of the latch Z is formed with a right-angled extension or hook Z to engage a staple 0, which is rigidly secured to the under side ol" the skylight or scuttle; The said latch is automatically locked by means of a suitable spring, which may be either of the form of a plate 7), which is attached at its upper end to the latch near the upper or free end thereof, as more clearly shown at p in Fig. 6. The lower end p of said spring bears on the plate n, on which it is adapted to slide. The spring is curved or otherwise shaped to cause it to force the upper end of the latch toward the frame a, as shown in Fig. 2, and into a position to engage the staple 0 of the skylight when in its closed position. The upper end of the plate '22. has rigidly projecting from it a staple t, which receives through it the upper portion oi the latch Z and serves as a guide and a stop for the latch. Another form of spring designed to perform the aforesaid function is shown in Figs. 7 and S of the drawings and consists of a spirally-bent wire 1', surrounding a bolt 7', the ends of which pass throughperforated lugs s, projecting from the plate a, and through perforated ears 1' on a wide portion of the latch Z, which is thus hinged to the plate a. Both ends of the spring 7" extend downward from the bolt 1",
and one of said ends bears on the plate n, and
the opposite end bears on a downward extension 15 of the latch Z at the side facing the said plate. In this case the plate n is provided with a suitable stop t which comes in contact with the latch extension it when the latch is thrown into its unlocked position. In this construction the staple t, hereinbefore mentioned, is dispensed with by the use of the stop If and by the hinging of the latch to the ends of the bolt 1", which guides the latch and sustains it laterally. To the back of the lower portion of the latch is attached a bracket u, to which is pivoted a pulley u. Upon this pulley rides a rope v, one end of which is attached to the lower end of the push-bar member (1, and the opposite end is free for manipulation. The skylight drops by gravity to its closed position and is locked by the latch Z being allowed to engage the staple 0 by relieving the pulley a from the draft of the rope v To open the skylight, a person draws down the free end of the rope v. The strain exerted on this rope presses on the upper part of the pulley u, and thereby tilts the latch so as to loosen its hold on the staple 0. A further draft on the said rope draws the lower end of the push-bar D towardthe pulley u, and thus causes said push-bar to rise and push the skylight to its open position, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, in which position it can be retained by tying the lower end of the rope to a suitable stationary object. I prefer, however, to tie the rope to the bracket u by providing the pulley with a branch groove of, leading to one end of the pulley, as shown in Fig. 8. By allowing the rope v to enter the groove 14 while gradually releasing the free end of the rope from strain the rope becomes jammed and bound on the inner side of the bracket 11,.
What I claim is 1. The combination, with a hinged skylight and its supporting-frame, of a push-bar pivotally connected to the skylight, a collar adjustably attached to the lower portion of the push-bar, braces pivotally connected to the skylight near the side edges thereof and pivoted to the aforesaid collar, a pulley supported on the aforesaid frame under the free edge of the skylight, and an operatingrope traversing said pulley and connected to the lower end of the push-bar as set forth.
2. The combination, with a hinged skylight, of a push-bar composed of a tubular upper member pivotally connected at one end to the skylight and split longitudinally at its opposite end and a lower member inserted in the split end of the upper member, a split collar embracing the split portion of the upper member and provided with means for tightening it on said member, levers pivotally connected to said collar and to the skylight near the hinged edge thereof, and means for operating said pushbar.
3. The combination, with a hinged skylight, of a push-bar connected to the under side of the skylight and adjustable in length, braces connecting the lower portion of said push-bar to the side portions of the skylight, and means for operating said push-bar.
4:. The combination, with a hinged skylight, of a push-bar connected to said skylight and composed of telescopically-jointed members adj ustably clamped together, braces connecting the lower portion of said pushbar to the side portions of the skylight, and means for operating the push-bar.
5. The combination, with a hinged skylight and its supporting-frame, of a push-bar connected to the skylight, braces connecting the lower portion of the push-bar to the side portions of the skylight, a latch connected to the supporting-frame and adapted to lock the skylight in its closed position, a pulley connected to said latch, and a rope traversing the pulley and connected at one end to the lower end of the push-bar as set forth.
6. The combination with a hinged skylight and its supporting-frame, of a push-bar pivotally connected to the skylight, braces connecting the lower portion of the push-bar to the side portions of the skylight, a latch hinged to the supporting-frame and adapted to lock the skylight in its closed position, a spring forcing the latch to its locked position, a pulley connected to the back of the latch, and a rope traversing said pulley and connected at one end to the lower end of the push-bar as set forth.
7. The combination, with a hinged skylight and its supporting-frame, of a push-bar connected to the under side of the skylight and adjustable in length, braces connecting the lower portion of the push-bar to the side portions of the skylight, a plate attached to the supporting-frame under the free edge of the skylight, a staple projecting from the upper end of said plate, a latch hinged to the lower end of the plate and passing with its upper end through the staple and terminating in a looking-hook, a staple attached to the skylight and engaging the said hook, a spring forcing the latch to its locking position, a bracket projecting from the back of the latch, a pulley pivoted to said bracket, and a rope traversing the pulley and connected at one end to the lower end of the pushbarsubstantially as set forth.
