To all 'whom' it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HBERLE, citizen of the United .'States, residing. at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State 0f New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pivoted Sliding Wind0ws,of which the following is a specification. A l

My invention relates to a construction of window sashes, and particularly to those windows whereinthe sashes are pivoted to slides to permit an independent angular movement of the sash, the object of the invention being toprovide weather stripping located between' the slideand the wlndow frame.

My present invention is an improvement on the form of window shown in my patent for window sash, No. 645,357, issued to me March 13, 1900, and comprises, generally speaking, a window frame having the usual exterior and interior stops and a middle parting bead, the sash space between the parting bead `and the stops being provided with a longitudinally extending, inwardly projecting strip of metal having an overturned interlocking edge, the upper and lower sashes each having opposed slide plates to which the sashes are slide plates being each formed with a metal strip on its edges, which is so bent as to have a sllding and interlocking engagement with the adjacent strip on the window frame. This construct-ion provides sashes which are slidable in the frame, as in the ordinary sash, and which are pivoted to the slides of` each sash so that the inward when desired.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merit-s thereof, and to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction,

reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

end of a sash.; Fig. 6 is a.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated theviews of the drawings bythe same reference characters. w

Referring to the figures, it will be seen that the frame of the window is formed of a j amb A, the inner facing A2,v the outer facing A3 and the back strip A4 pocket, wherein the sash weights are carried and moved. The jainb A is provided with the interior stopvstrip B, the partin strip C and the exterior stop which'is formec by the projecting margin of theouter face A3, channels E and F being thus formed for the upper and lower sashes, as is usual in the strip D being loin closing a cat-ed between the parting strip C andthe stop to form ,the inner face 'of the channel F, this strip D being made in two sections, as will be later described. Each of the channels has attached to its face the -longitudinally extending strip 2 which extends the whole length of the frame and has the outwardl, projecting 'marginal ange 3 whose e ge isv outwardly and inwardly turned or bent 'upon itself, as at 4.' This edge, however, does not contact with the outer face of the strip 2, as shown in section 1n Fig. 4.v At its upper end, each of the channels E and F is provided with the usual pulley over whichK the window cord passes. v

Sliding within each of the channels E and F, is a shde 5, preferably made of metal and of a -Width equal to that of the channel in which it moves. Each slide, on its inner edge, is formed with the inwardly projecting flange 6, and on its inner face withgthe inwardly projecting op osed but parallel flanges 7 and 8, these anges being spaced apart a distance sufficient to permit them to move easily in the space between the inturned flange 4 and the'adjacent face of the window frame.

9 designates a metallic'strip of a'length equal to that of the slide 5 which is approximately S-shaped in cross section, the body yportion 10 of which `is adapted to be carried in the space between the two"-flanges 7 and r8 and to be wedged therein by a strip of wood or other suitable material 1l which is held in place by screwsor pins 12 inserted `through the outer face of theilange 7. The

inside margin 0f the strip 9 extends across the edge of the flange 8 and is then bent outwardly, though slightly spaced from the margin 12 extends beneath the inwardly bent Vmargin 4 of the strip 2, and has therefore an interlocking engagement therewith which, while permitting the slide 5 to move u and down 1n its channel, willprevent the shde from being withdrawn from the channel. Y j

The lower end of the sash is pivoted to Athe slide 5, as by a pin inserted from the inside face of the slide and entering the sidel bar G of the sash. In order to form a weather-proof engagement between the side bars G and the slide 5, I form the outer face of the slide 5 with the outwardly projecting edge flange 13 and the outwardly projecting marginal ange 14. This latter flange only projects a slight distance beyond thefaceof the slide 5, ward suiiicient so that itsu edge 1s on a level with the face of the stop A3 or the strip C. Carried between the flanges 13 and 14 is the weather strip 15. The body of this strip lies against the face of the slide 5 between the flanges 13 and 14, but its edge is outwardly turned, as at416, and'then inwardly bent, as at 17, and folded over. The plane of this fold 17 is exterior to the plane intersecting the ed e face of the iange 14. The inner face o the side bar G of the window is cut away as at 18, and is further cut away as at 19 so as to afford a face which is lower than the face of the cut-away portion 18. Attached to the '.face of the cut-away portion 18, is the strip 20 which, at its margin, is inwardly folded over upon itself as at 21. It will be seen fromy Fig. 4 that when the sash is closed into parallelism with the slide 5, the margin of the strip 2O will enter beneath the inwardly turned fold 17 of the strip 15 and will contact therewith along its whole extent, thus making a weather' strip which prevents the entrance of dirt, dust or moisture through the joint between the sash bar G and the slide 5. vIt will also be seen that the portion 19 which is cut away from the inner corner of the sash bar G, ac-v commodates the inwardly turned fold 17 when the sash bar is closed. While the strip 18 may be attached in any desired manner, preferably I hold it in place by a longitudinal flat bar 22 attached by screws to the' outer face of the sashbar.

Provision must be-,made Jforjholding the sash in locked engagement with its slide 5, and to this end I form the inner face of i each of the slides with the opening 24 which is preferably elongated -or a purpose to be later stated. Operating through each of the sash bars G is a bolt 25 which extends plate 22, the sash bar being recessed to receive the bolt and also to receive a coil spring v26 which engages with the bolt and acts to normally force it outward and into locked position with rewhile the flange 13 projects out- .are attached to the block 29, the sash gard tothe slide 5. The inner end of the i.

bolt is beveled so that as the sash is forced inward, the beveled face of the bolt will enga e with the edge of the slide 5, and the' bolt will be forced inward'until it registers with the opening 24, .when the sprin 26 will force the bolty outward into its loc ing engagement. The end of each bolt projects beyond the inner face of the sash bar G and has pivoted thereto an eccentric 27 with a thumb-piece whereby it may be easily operated. This eccentric acts, when turned 1n one position, to withdraw the bolt from engagement with the slide 5, and in the other positionto permit the bolt to. engage with the slide. Y

The inner face of each of the slides 5 is longitudinally slotted, as' at 28, this -slot extending from the elongated openin L24 downward toward the lower end of the s ide. Shiftable in the slot 28 is the sliding block 29 which' is shown in detail in Fig. 6.- This sliding block is of a thickness equal tothe slot 28, has the laterally projecting basev iianges 30 and the head 31. At its lower end, Athe block is provided ,with the outwardly projecting stud 32 which is of a thickness corres onding to the block 29, but is relativelyllong and has the inwardly beveled ends 33. The inner face of the block is provided with the hook 34 which is to be engaged by the weight cord 35. Pivotally attached' to the sides of the sash bar G are the braces 36 which at their upper ends are formed with eyes. 37 adapted to engage with the stud 32 so as to have rota-- `tive movement thereon. As will be seen 1n Fig. 5, the eyes 37 are approximately cir-v cular andv formed with countersunk edges adapted to engage with the beveled endsf33 of the stud 32. The eyes are, however, elongated transversely to the axis of the brace, so that vwhen the brace is turned to a osition at right, angles with the longitu al axis of the slide, the brace may be disengaged from the stud 32. It will be obvious from the drawings that this position of the brace with relation to the slide cannot occur as long as the other end of the brace is attached to the window sash. By detaching the outer end of the brace, however, it may be turned up into this position and be disengaged from the block 29.v It will be seen that because of the fact that the sash weightl'- be supported andthe weights will act normally to draw the sash into parallelism with the slides 5. Therefore, means must be proend is small enough to permit the perforations of the locking rod 38 to be adjusted over it. It will thus be seenthat the lower window sash may be opened inward and *held adjusted in any vposition desired, de-

pendin upon the length of the rod 38'. The ro 38 is held in place upon the meeting rail H by means of astud. j

A Whilethe elongated opening 24 permits the easy attachment of the outer end ofthe weight chain to the slide 5, and thereforer to the window sash, it is also necessary to provide means for quickly attaching the inner end of the sash cord or in case the sash cord breaks or it is desired to put in a new sash cord. To this end., I provide a removable section at the lower end of the window frame, at each side thereof, this section forming a continuation of the strip B. This section is designated K, and consists of the lower section of the-strip C and a strip K which, as before-stated, is a. continuation of they strip AA', at right angles thereto, and which forms the face of the lower end of the channel' F. This strip is formed with a tongue 43 adapted to be received within a groove 44 extending longitudinally along the inner face of the stop A3.. -This section K ,normally vcloses an opening L in the facing board A, which permits the hand to be inserted from the front of the window frame, behind the same, and permits. the ready detachment of the weight cords from the weights on that side of the frame. Of course, norma the section K closes this opening entirely, the section being held in place by screws 45 insertedthrough the section K andentering the board A.

It will be seen that the upper sashis narrower than the width of the lower sash, by the thickness ofthe pieces D. This is in order to permit of the turning inward and downward of the upper sash 'when required, which could not be accomplished if the outer sash were of the same width as the inner, as will be readily understood.

The sashes can be slid up and down in their channels E and F, in the usual manner, but when itis desired to gain access to the glass panes for cleaning or other pur oses, or when it is required to secure a sullibient ventilation, both sashes can be turned inward and downward, the sashes being held at the required elevation and open the sashes, which prevents the admission j ambsof the chain to the weight,

at the desired angular adjustment by reason of theof dust or moisture, the. interlocking engagement between the slides and the metal strips carried in the sash channels forming a weather strip between the slides and the window.'

It will be seen that inasmuch as the window frame is of ordinary construction, my invention can be readily applied to window fra-mes in houses or dwellings already erected, without requiring change or alteration in the construction of the window.
