To all wit/0721 may co'z'zcernt Be it known that we, ISAAC litns'nin' and Josnrn Dunnronnv, subjects of the Emperor of Russia, and residents of the city, county, and State of New Yorlg ha ve invented oer.- tain new and useful illlIJI'OX-"Gfilfil'lhS in Window-Guards, of which-the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide an ellicient guard for open windows, which will be simple in construction and operation, and which will not stand in front of the win dow when the sash is closed.

A brief sunnnary of the invention that 'oc ours to us is a grid for attachment to a vertically movable window sash, and members supporting'this grid. from the sash in a plane in advance of and oflset from the plane thereof. However, the invention inaybe regarded in other lights and possesses various specific features of novelty, all of which will be readily comprehended by a perusal of the following specification and claims.

in the accompanying drawings, showing the "embodiments of the features of our invention which at present appear desirable to us. i

4 iguie 1 is a front elevation of the invention, Fig. 2 is a vertical section, showing the grid in full lines inelevated position, and in dotted lines in lowered position, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3---3, Fig. 2:

Referring now to these drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the grid, this term being used to designate any substantially rigid, barred construction suitable for protecting open. windows, to prevent children and arti cles from falling therefrom. Preferably, this grid. comprises. vertical metal rods 2, which 2 connected at tl ir upper ends withthe lower end oi" the low r, vertically slidable window sash Desir nreans of connection comprises a horizontal cross-bar at, to which the upper ends of the rods-2 are secured, and bracket arms -5 secured to and proj cting outward from the lower portion of the sash 3, these arms carrying the cross-bar 4 toward their outer ends. 6 is a supporting guide, which may be secured to the window sill or he bottoin of the window frame, and is shown in the preferred form consisting of a plate pro ting outward over the upper r bping provided aperture" 1 T r lh grid 1 is raised and lowered with the window 'sash, so that the window is guarded when open but. the grid is down and out of the way 7 when the sash is lowered.

It is desirable that'the device be capable of being taken apart' For this purpose, the

rear end po3tions of the'arms 5 may pass the cross-bar 4 may be reduced, as'at 11, and

received. loosely 'Wllllllll apertures 12 111 the outer ends oi'bracket arms 5; and a tie. rod or brace 13 may removably connect the arms 5 outside the sash "3, to prevent the arms froni spreading out of hold'in relation witl respect to the cross bare. This brace.13 may be a simplerod'with reflexed ends 14, so that the brace may hook through pairs ,of apertures 15in the arms 5; Also, the rods 2 may he headed or hooked at their upper ends, as at 16, so as to be held rmovably in, the apertures 17 formed in the cross-bar Thus, after the cross bar 4 is disconnected from the window sash, the rods 2- may be drawn upward through theguide plate 6, and then removed individually from the apertures in the cross-bar 4.

18 indicates a horizontal. brace .ljar, provided with openings'lil, through which therods 2 pass loosely. In the raised position of the grid 1, tlns brace bar is disposed across the middle of the grid, to prevent bending of the rods 2, but as the grid. is lowered sinks down uponthe guide plate 6.. Tot-his end, the bra'ce bar 18 may be connected, conveniently at its ends, to the central portions of chains 22 or other flexible connections, the upper ends of wlflich are connectod'to thegrid-carrier, namely the bar 4 and the arms 5, and the lower ends of which are conveniently connectedto the guideplate 6. The securing of the chain ends may, if desired, be effected by snap hooks 20.

There are several advantages in supporting the grid from the window sash inaplane in advance of and ofiset from the plane there oi, by means otbracket arms 5-or otherwise. Thus, when the window and grid are up,

; space will be provided on the Window sill behhid the grid where dishes or vessels may be LOO porting said grid from the sash in a plane in .able window sash havlngtransverse openings formed through the lower part thereof,

placed. Also, this 1'1" the grid'enablss it to building and, sill. 1

What we claim as is:

war of supporting ir the wall of the also, the window 1. in combination with a vertically mov-- able window sash, a grid, and members supad'v'ance of and offset from the plane thereof. 2; In combination with a vertically movagrid, and projecting members secured in said openings and supporting said grid from the sashin' .a plane inadvance of and ofiset from the plane thereof;

.3. In combination "th a window, the lower sash. andsill thereof,- a grid, members supporting said rid from the sash'in a plane in advance of an offset from the plane thereof,v anda guide secured to the sill and pro jecting forward therefrom.

sash and comprising vertical rods, a stationary supporting guide or said grid, a transverse -brace bar provided with openings loosely receiving said rods, and flexible supporting 1 means for said brace bar adapted, when thegrid is elevated, to sustain 881d brace bar at "approximately the middle of the grid,

5.- A windowiguard comprising a. grid for attachment to a vertically movable window sash and-comprising vertical rods, a stationary supporting guide for said grid, a transverse. brace bar provided with openings loosely receiving said rods, and flexible connections between said brace bar and a part movable with the window sash and between the bar and a stationary part, substantially as described. I

6. The ccmbinationwith a vertically movable window sash, of bracket arms removably.
