UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. I

PETER WEILIGARDT, OF EMERSON, NEBRASKA.

\ SASH-HANGER.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER WEINGARDT, a

citizen of the United States, residing at This invention relates to mprovements in sash-hangers, useful also for the purpose of hanging window screens, and has for its object to provide a structure whereby the window sash may be maintained vertically and also may be supported in inclined relation to the window casing and may be readily shifted from one posit-ion to another to increase or decrease the inclination.

The invention consists of the novel construction, form and arrangement of parts as described herein and claimed, and as illustrated in the drawing, wherein,

Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 are views showing a single pair of sash-hangers used for the support of one side of the sash, Figs. 1 and 2 being respectively front and side views of the frame-plate; Figs. 3 and 4 being, respectively, side and frontv views of the sash-plate.

showing apair of sash-hangers employed for the support of the opposite side offthe sash; Figs. 5 and 6 being, respectively, front and side views of the frame-plate,

and Figs. 7 and 8 being,

respectively, side and front views of the sash-plate. Figs. 9 and 10 are vertical front views showing the parts when illustrating the parts shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4; and Fig. 10 illustrating the hanger members shown in Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8. Fig. 11 is an end view of the assembled parts. Figs. 12, 1'3 and 14 are detail views showing parts of a vertical and a horizontal casing-strip, the horizontal strip being in section, and illustrating-the use ofa hanger for supporting a sash in inclined positions. Fig. 15 is a view of a window frame and sash with my newly in vented sash-hangers mounted thereon.

Referring now to the drawing for a more particular description, numeral '1 indicates a vertical strip of awindow casing, and 2 a horizontal strip of the same, and upon the outer face of the vertical strip and near its upper end I secure a supporting member or frame-plate 3. Member 3 is an angular structure consisting 'of

wings

4 and 5. Wing 5 is apertured at 6, and by means ofkeepels Specification of Letters Patent.

Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are views' Patented Jan. 3, 1911.

Application filed April 22, 1910. Serial No. 566,940.

7 the frame-plate may be secured as described.

At 8 is indicated a vertical recess or slot formed longitudinally in wing 4 and open ing upon its up er end; at 9 is indicated a recess formed a jacent towing 5 and opening outwardly upon this slot.

At 10 is indicated a substantiall horizontal recess or slot extending inwardfy of Wing 4, and opening upon its outer side.

Therterminal of slot 8 is indicated at 11; the terminal of slot 10 is indicated .at 12, and at 13, between terminal 12 and the opening of slot 10 is indicated an intermediate recess opening upwardly upon slot 10 and, outwardly of recess 13 is indicated a concavelyformed ledge 14 formed adjacent to slot 10 in the lower part of wing 4. 4

At 15 is indicated a sash-plate, the same being an angular structure and provided with

wings

16 and 17. Wing 17 is rovided with apertures 18 and, by means 0 keepers 19 shown in Fig. 15, this hanger-member may be secured upon the sash 23. Wing 16 is provided with outwardly projecting

studs

20 and 21, these studs being provided with heads or holders 22. Stud 20 is-secured u on' the upper part of the wing, stud 21 bemg secured upon said wing 16 intermediate its lower end and stud 20.

It'will be noted that the hangers are employed a support for each of the vertical side-strips of the sash and while each pair of hangers operates substantially alike it will be seen that-the studs of the sash-plates are formed to extend outwardly from their outer sides. In practice, the sash-plates are secured upon the-upper end of the sash and upon the outdoor. side thereof, the sash being disposed inwardly of the window casing, and the sash will be reliably supported by means of the hangers.

It will be understood that stud 20 is adapted to have a seating within slot 8. of the sta tionary hanger-member 3, and stud 21 is adapted to have a seating within slot 10; and in practice, when mountin the sash upon thecasing, stud 20 is first inserted in slot 8, thesash at that time being manually held at an angle with reference to the window casing, and asthe lower end of the sash is lowered or swung towardthe casing, stud 21 will enter slot 10; and when the sash is seated in a normal position the parts are in pairs, one pair being employed as p thendisposed as shown in Fig. 12. At this time stu 21 will have a bearing-at terminal 12 of .slot 10, and stud 20 will be dis osed within slot 8 intermediate recess 9 an the upper end of wing 4' sash will be detained by operation of the contacting partsof the hanger.

It is often desired to support a sash in an i The function of recess 9 is to'providea bearing for stud 20 at the-time the operator elevates thesash for a mounting of said sash -up0n the casing, alsofor preventin the release of said stud from slot 8 when 0 anging the position of stud 21 from a seating in concavity in ledge 14, while this stud passes inwardly alon slot 10.

It is often esired to support the sash in a position where the degree of inclination is greater than that indicated in Fig. 13 and, or this purpose the 0 rator, by slightly elevating or swinging t e'lower end of the sash outwardly, will cause stud 21 to pass partly outward of slot 10 and stud 21 will have a bearing within concavity in ledge 14 of wing 4, and at this time stud 20 will have a bearing at terminal 11 of wing 4.

The herein described sash-hangers are employed, principally, in connection with stormvwindows and 1t is convenient, for ventilation and other purposes, to provide diiferent degrees of inclination for disposing the sash with reference to the window frame. When used in connection with w ndow screens, it

.is often desired also to dispose the screens in inclined relation. The pairofhanger-members illustrated in Eigs. 1,'2, 3 and 4are,.

- for convenience, called the left-hand pair.

Numerals

3 and 15, respectively, indipair for side of the casing and sash. Sash-member 3 is formed with an lar wings 4 and5, wing- 5 being vprovi ed with apertures 6' and wing 4. is provided with a slot 8, with a terminal 11? and a recess 9 openin thereon, these parts being similar to those a ready described; slot 10 hasga terminal 12 and re-' cesses 13 and 14' are rovided, the same as already explained. f ing 16 of sash-plate 15 is provided with

studs

20 and 21, each having heads 22', and win 17 thereof is provided with apertures 18 In the construction as described, when the sash is supported vertically the weight of and, as is obvious, the

. said sash is sustained by the lower stud while seated at the ternnnal of the transverse slot. When the sash is partl inclined the lower stud supports the wei t of the sash,'while seated in recess 11. nd, when (greatest inclinaprincipally by the upper stud while seated at the terminal of the on itudinal recess, stud 21 resting in concavity 1n ledge 14. Heads 22 of

studs

20 and 21, operate as alining devices or guides in conjunction with the studs and the walls of the slots, and aid in" sustaining the sashplates, so that the sash will not become dislodged while occupying the inclined positions mentioned.

Havin fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

1. A sash hanger, comprising a frameplate having a wing formed with a vertical recess opemng upon its upper end and a substantially horizontal recess opening upon its outer side; a sash plate having a wing with an upper and a lower stud; said sash plate adapted to be su ported by said frame plate, said upper stud being disposed within and upwardly of the terminal of said vertihorizontal recess.

plate having a wing formed with a vertical recess opening upon its upper'end and provided with a substantially horizontal recess opening upon its outers1de with a communicating recess opening upwardly thereon: a sash plate having a wing with an upper and a lower stud, said sash plate adapted to be supported by said frame plate, its upper stud being disposed within said vertical recess, its lower stud being seated within the communicating recess of said substantially horizontal recess. j I

3.. A sash hanger, comprising a frame plate having a wing formed with a vertical stantially horizontal recess opening upon its "outer side, and provided with a concaved 'ledge openin upwardly upon its outer side adjacent to t e opening of said horizontal recess; a sash plate having a wing with an upper and a lower stud, said sash plate adapted to be supported by said frame late, its upper stud being disposed at the termlnal of the vertical recess, its lower stud being seated upon said concaved ledge.
