GEORGE L. CASE, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.

SASI-I-HANGER.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE L. CASE, of Minneapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a sash hanger adapted for use with either storm sash or screens, as desired and capable of being easily and quickly hung from the inside of the window.

A further object is to provide a hanger, which may be hung while sitting on the sill and will prevent the sash from rattling when in its open position.

A further object is to provide a sash hanger, which can be hung on the window one corner at a time, making the operation of hanging the sash much less laborious than usual in devices of this kind.

The invention consists generally in various constructions and combinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view, illustrating the application of my invention to a window, Fig. 2 is a detail view of the hanger removed from the sash, Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line ww of Fig. 2, Fig. 4: is a detail view of the plate or section of the hanger, which is fastened to the window casing, Fig. 5 is an end view of the same, Fig. 6 is a detail view of a section of the hanger adapted for use on a screen, Fig. 7 is an edge view of the same.

In the drawing, 2 represents a window casing and 3 a storm sash.

5 is a plate having means for securing it to the window casing and 6 is an arm formed thereon and projecting outwardly in a substantially horizontal plane and having an upwardly turned end 7. This upwardly turned end prevents the bar on the sash plate from slipping off during the operation of hanging the sash. A bend S is formed in the inner end of the arm, causing a depression 9 above the bend. This depression acts as a seat for the other member of the hanger. The plate has a portion 10 which projects upwardly in the rear of the bend 8 and be tween these parts and the wall of the bend the bar at the upper end of the other member of the hanger is supported. This other member comprises a plate 11, having means for securing it to the window sash and pro- Specification of Letters Patent.

vided with an offset 12, which allows it to overlap the plate 5 with its lower portion in the plane of said plate. The plate 11 has a rectangular opening 13 therein with a horizontal bar 1 1- at its upper end said opening being of sufficient width to receive the arm 6 and allow the bar to slip into the depression 9, an offset 12 in the plate 11 permitting the sash to swing inwardly to its seat in the window casing. The arm 6 is tapered, as indicated in Fig. 4, to more readily enter the opening 13. The plate 5 is also provided with a lug 15 which enters the lower portion of the rectangular opening 13 and is curved upward slightly and forms a guide for the plate 11 preventing it from swinging laterally or rattling.

In putting the sash on, it is only necessary to swing it out a short distance from the window, which can be done by a person seated on the sill, with one leg hanging out of the window. The bar 14 can then be engaged with the arm 6 and allowed to slide into its seat in the depression 9. The sash can then be drawn to its closed position and the lug 15 will enter the opening in the sash member without any attention on the part of the operator. The members composing this hanger may be stamped from sheet metal or may be cast, as preferred, and may be made in different sizes according to the dimensions and weight of the sash.

The lug 15, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, acts as a guide for the sash member of the hanger and prevents the sash from moving vertically when in its open position. This lug will also aid in preventing the sash from rattling when open.

I claim as my invention 1. A storm sash hanger, comprising a plate having means for securing it to a window casing and provided with an outwardly projecting arm having a bend or depression formed therein at its inner end and provided with an upwardly turned outer end, a second plate adapted to be secured to a sash and having an opening therein to receive said arm, and a horizontal cross bar at the upper end of said opening that is adapted to drop into the depression in said arm and be held therein by the wall of said depression when the storm sash is closed, and said arm projecting outwardly a Sufiicient distance to allow the storm sash to be hung thereon while held in a substantially vertical position.

2. A sash hanger comprising a plate having means for securing it to a Window casing and provided with an outwardly projecting arm having a depression formed therein near said plate, a lug provided below said arm on said plate and projecting outwardly therefrom, a second. plate adapted to be secured to a sash and having an opening therein, and a bar at the upper end of said opening, said bar being adapted to enter the depression formed by the bend in said arm and forming therewith a hinge, and said lug entering the lower portion of said rectangular opening and holding the sash against vertical movement when open, substantially as described.

3. A sash hanger comprising a plate having means for attachment to a window casing and provided with an outwardly extending horizontal arm, said arm having a bend formed therein between which bend and said plate a seat is provided, a second plate having means for attachment to a sash and provided with an opening therein, and a bar at its upper end to rest on the seat in said arm, means entering the lower portion of said opening and serving as a guide for the movable portion of the hanger and preventing lateral and vertical movement of the sash when open, substantially as described.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this Q lth day of July 1909.

GEORGE L. CASE.
