When swinging the szisli I' or C freni e horizontal into :i verticel'position, the letali I)3 automatically enwitliits hook P1 the keeper I, to'loel the stiles G, Il or G, Ill together.

thesash cords Jare drawnv downward, while' the slidin Stiles H remain stationary, S'o that the sash as well as its stiles' H still remain in time 'convenient access is had to. both facesl lof the sash B` for cleaningor repairing the By reference to Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, it will be seen that the Stiles H are somewhat narrower than the Stiles H', to permit the upper sash C to conveniently swin downward and inward, and past tlfe Stiles as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6.V The stiles G, H and G',- H

are also preferably rabbeted, to prevent outward swingin of the sashes B and C on their I', 4and at-the vsame time render the sash air and moisture-proof' at the oint (betve/en the corresponding vStiles G, H and In order to hold the4 sliding stiles H and H in position in their guideways, and to allow ready up and down movement of the saine,A

each of the Stiles 'Hand H is provided near the sashes B and C can be conveniently and its ulpper end with guide plates Q, Q', of whic the guide plate Q extends into a recess D formed 1n the stop D, and the guide plate rQ extends -into a recess E formed in the parting strip'E, as indicated in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The window shown and described is very simple and durable in construction, canA be cheaply manufactured, and at the Same time readily swung into 4the room for cleaning or repairing pur oses, lwithout removing the sashes from t e window frame. When the Sashes are in their usual vertical osition, they can be readily moved up and own, for Ventilating and other purposes, the same as the ordinary sashes now in use. It will also be noticed that in swinging the sashes B and C inward into the room or back into a vertical position, they do not interfere in the least with outside fly screens or iron guards in windows provided with such Screens or guards.
