WINDOW FRAME.
APPLICATION FILED AUG. 9, 1909. 957,8 I Patented May 17, 1910.
1 7 8 4mm mu A4 I W w W m WARREN B. HARRIS, or MILLBUBY, MASSACHUSETTS.
WINDOW-FRAME.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, IVARRENB. HARRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Millbury, in the county of \Vorcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in VVindow-Frames, of which the following is a specification, accompanied by drawings, forming a part of the same, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a portion of a window frame embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectlonal view through the cover of the weight pocket on the plane of the broken line 2--2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the cover of the weight pocket on the plane of the broken line 33, Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the cover of the weight pocket removed.
Similar reference characters refer to si1nilar parts in the difierent figures.
My present invention relates to an improved construction of the cover of the weight pocket in a window frame, and it has for its objects to enable the cover to be formed of the same piece as the window frame, and to so construct the cover as to enable it to be securely retained in place by the employment of a single screw or nail, and I accomplish these objects by the construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described and pointed out in the annexed claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes the upright side of a window frame and 2 the sill. WVithin the side 1 are. formed pockets for the movement of the window weights, which are inserted therein through an opening formed in the window frame in the usual and well known manner. This opening I close by a cover 3, which consists of the piece removed from the frame in the formation of the weight opening 4, thereby enabling the opening and the cover to be formed by the same operation and obviating the necessity of employing a separate piece for the cover. I also construct the cover with suitable supporting and interlocking surfaces with the window frame so that, when the cover is placed in position, a single screw is sufficient to retain it in place.
My improved cover, which is represented in perspective View in Fig. 4, is provided on its sides with longitudinal shoulders 5 and 6, adapted to rest against similar shoul- Specification of Letters Patent. Pwtvgnted Flay 17, 1910. Application filed August 9, 1909.
Serial No. 512,014.
ders formed in the frame. The upper end of the cover is provided with a shoulder 7 which abuts against a similar opposing shoulder upon the window frame, and the lower end is likewise provided with shoulder 8 arranged to abut against a similar shoulder on the window frame.
In the construction of my improved cover I out two saw kerfs 9 and 10 on the back side of the board 11 which forms the upright side of the frame. I also form two saw kerfs 12 and 13 upon the outer side of the board 11. The distance between the saw kerfs 12 and 13 is sufficiently greater than the distance between the saw kerfs 9 and 10 to form the shoulders 5 and 6 on the cover and corresponding shoulders 14 and 15 in the window frame. The position of the saw kerfs 12 and 13 is indicated by the broken line 16, and the position of the saw kerfs 9 and 10 is indicated by the broken line 17, Fig. 3, the saw kerfs upon opposite sides of the board 11 extending approximately half way through the board. Transverse saw kerfs 18 and 19 are then formed on the back side of the board 11 between the saw kerfs 9 and 10, and similar transverse saw kerfs 20 and 21 are formed on the front side of the board between the saw kerfs 12 and 13. The saw kerf 18 is formed at some distance above the saw kerf 20, so as to provide the abut-ting surfaces between the board 11 and the cover 3 on the plane of the broken line 22, and the saw kerf 21 is formed some distance below the saw kerf 19 in order to form the abutting surfaces between the board 11 and cover 3 on the plane of the broken line 23, Fig. 3.
When the saw kerfs are formed as above described, a blow from a hammer, applied to the back side of the cover in the plane of and in the direction of the arrow 24, will separate the cover from the board 11, splitting the fibers of wood where the cover is attached to the board 11 between the saw kerfs. The cover when removed presents the appearance shown in perspective view in Fig. 4, having shoulders 5 and 6 which abut similar shoulders 14 and 15 in the board 11 and form a support for the cover, when placed in position, throughout its length.
The separation of the cover from the board 11 between the saw kerfs 18 and 20 and the saw kerfs 19 and 21 form the shoulders 7 and 8 on the cover, which fit corresponding shoulders in the board 11 when the cover is placed in position. The engagement of the shoulder 7 with the board 11, when the cover is placed in position, holds the upper end of the cover from falling outwardly. The shoulder 8 and the longitudinal shoulders 5 and 6, abutting opposing shoulders on the board 11, hold the cover from being pressed inwardly. A screw 25 is then inserted in the saw kerf 21 to hold the lower end of the cover from moving outwardly.
I claim,
1. A window frame having an opening for the admission of sash weights, a removable closin strip, longitudinal shoulders on the sides of said closing strip, corresponding opposing shoulders on said window frame lengthwise said sash weight openin a transverse shoulder on one end of said closing strip facing toward the inside of the window frame, a transverse shoulder on the opposite end of said closing strip facing away from the inside of the window frame and corresponding opposing shoulders on the window frame at the ends of the sash weight opening.
2. A window frame having a sash weight opening, a cover for said opening having shoulders at its sides and one end facing away from the inside of the window frame, a shoulder at the opposite end of said cover facing toward the inside of the window frame, said shoulders lying in substantially the same plane, and corresponding opposing shoulders on the window frame.
3. A window frame having a sash weight opening, a cover for said opening formed from the side of the window frame by longitudinal saw kerfs, in different planes, by which longitudinal shoulders are formed at the sides of the cover and by transverse saw kerfs at the ends of the cover in different planes, whereby transverse shoulders are formed at the ends of the cover, one of said end shoulders facing in the same direction as the longitudinal shoulders and the other end shoulder facing in the opposite direction.
A. A window frame having a sash weightopening and a cover therefor provided at its sides with shoulders 5 and (3 and at its ends with shoulders 7 and 8, said end shoulders facing in opposite directions, and corre sponding opposing shoulders at the ends and sides of the sash weight opening.
5. In a window frame having a sash weight opening, a cover for said opening provided at its sides with longitudinal shoulders engaging corresponding longitudinal shoulders at the sides of the sash weight opening and forming seats for said cover, a shoulder at one end of said cover transversely thereto engaging a corresponding shoulder at one end of the sash weight opening and holding said longitudinal shoulders in contact.
