MEETING-RAIL FOR SASHES Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 28, 1908.
Patented March 23, 1909.
Serial No. 455,097.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT J. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Meeting-Rails for Sashes, and declare the following to he a lull, clear and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this speciii ration.
This invention relates to window sashes.
It has for its ohject an improved sash to he used with large panes of glass, and the special ohject of the improvement is to strengthen the cross rail of the sash, especially when such cross rail is used as the meeting rail of a pair of sashes, one of which is adapted to slide upward and the other of which is adapted to slide downward in the window.
In sliding sashes, it is common to grasp the meeting rail, especially the upper rail of the lower sash at or near the middle when it is desired to raise the sash in the frame, and where the panes are large and the meeting rail is long, the rail is liahle to hend upward, sometimes break, and even if it does not break, leaves the glass and freq uently hreahs the glass, and the ohject of this improvement is to strengthen this meeting rail of the sash to overcome this liahility to send and leave the glass and either fracture the glass or break the meeting rail.
In the drawings:Figure 1, shows hoth the lower rail of the upper sash and the upper rail of the lower sash, with a strengthening har inserted in each. Fig. 2, is a perspective showing the end of the strengthening bar.
Fig. 3, is a perspective showing the corner of the sash with the strengthening oar inserted.
A indicates the cross rail of the sash, which is grooved deeply for the web of a T-har, and is provided along its surface with a shallow hut wide groove 3, for the flanges of the T- har. At the end one flange l 01" the T-har is split from the web 5, and the end 6 lzent across the welo 5 to a position at right angles to the general axis of the l ar. The licnt portion 6 is punched through to produce a spur 7, which extends toward the end 9 ol' the har.
'lhe weh drilled at the proper place to receive the corner pin 1], which secures the side l'ranie bar and the cross harh and the strengthening lzar together. and (I, do not dill'er from the ordinary construction, and the strengthening har with the weh 5 sunk into groove 2, and the two flanges 4t and 5, sunk into groove 3, is suhstantially concealed from View. Irelerahly the web 5 is drilled at intervals hctwcen its extrmnities for the insertion oi pins 15 in addition to the corner pins ll.
What I claim is A strcl'igthoned sash har, having in coinhination the cross har of a sash and a strengthening metallic T-har having one llangc split for a distance from the wel) thereof, l'ent across the well, and engaging hetweon the inner side of the vertical sash bar and the end of the cross har, sulslantially as dcscrihcd.
In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
ROBERT J. DAVIS.
