To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM NrooL, a subject 'o the King of Great Britain andlreland, and a resident of- Glasgow, Scotland, have invented certainnew and `useful improvements in Weatherproof and Like Fittings for Windows, o which the following is a specifica-- tion.

-This invention has reference to improvements in' sectional elevation showing a easement window, with' my invention applied thereto, opening inwardly; Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the window opening out wardly; Figi 3 is a view similar to Figi l, showing a slight modification; Fig. 4 is another modification; Fig. 5 represents a sectional planview oi the sash and window 'frames with my invention applied thereto, and Figs. 6 and l" are perspective views oi portions oi the sill and the baille plates respectively. v,

My inventionis particularly applicable to easement windows which swing from-side hinges or to windows pivoted at a middle point in the top and bottom ssslies. In Figs. 1 to 4 l have shown my invention applied to the window sill A und the lower sashB of windows oi this character. .ln Fig. 5 it is shown as applied to the side sashesoi easement windows at their .meeting point or to the side sash and th e upright of the window frame inwindows ol the character second above mentioned.

'ihe substance of my invention is formed in the in torlor'rking of twoplates l0 and 11,'one secured to the sash B and one to the sill A. 1n my preferred ferm ol construction (Fig. il) these plo-tes are formed to doubly interlock as illustrated, 5

` To carry out my purpose one edge of the sill plate 11 is formed Awith a hooked part l2, the upper arn 13 of which is-adaptcd to work under the lower tace o the sash 1l, while the other edge 11i is i'ormed with an offset extension `which is clear of the sill. Attached to the lower iace oi the sash is secured the sash plate 10.which by means of a similar offset extcnsion16 and a hooked edge 17 cooperates with the sill plate to form a storm and dust prooi joint between the sill and the sash when the Window is closed. 1 make provision for the escape of any moisture that may enter the space inclosed by these interlocking plates by int-lining the sill plate downwardly toward the outer face 18 ol the sill and 'opening therein drainage holes 1i) which permit the moisture to drain onto the ledge or the inclined outer face 18 of the sill. ln addition, 1 provide arched baille plates 20 which arch over the holes 19 and to some ex* tent impede the entrance oi wind through :hose holes. Oi course openil'lgs 2l must he provided in the baille plates to permit the flow ol moisture to the holes 1,9. I have found it advantageous also to forni projecting ridges 22 on the faces oi' the plates which adjoin the sill and sash respectively and project into the surface thereof. These ridges not only aid in resisting the torsional. strain to which the plates may be subjected in the open ing and closing oi the windows, but serve also as a further safeguard against rain and wind in ease the screws 2f?, by which the plates are secured, become loosened and the plates become slightly separated from the suriaces to which they are attached. A v" Modifications of my invention may be variously devised. Thus in Fig. 1 the inner hook and cooperating offset projection are omitted. In Fig'. 2 the baille plate also is omitted and the sill plate instead oi being inclined throughout its width, is merely 'arched'. The outer half has thus the necessary incline and the plate is perfectly eliectiveior drainage pur-poses since the moisture can entciouly over the outer edge ol the sash plate and must drip upon the incline mentioned. In Fig. 4 drainage channels through the sill into which the holes in the sill plate open, are shown.

Where the plates are vertical at the junction ofthe vertical edges oi two easement sashes (Fig. 5) there is ol' course no need of drainage holes and therefore oi baille plates. The plates merely doubly interlock as shown. i
