Y To all whom it mag concern: I

Be it known that I, CLARENCE Z. Hon- BELL, a citizen of the United States, residing of the class in which the sashesa're pivoted.

to hanging stiles so that they maybe adapted both to slide vertically and to swing on horizontal pivots.

It consists in the features of construction shown and described as indicated in the claims.

In the drawings -F igure 1 is a perspec ive View of a window embodying this invention shown with the lower sash swung into horizontal position. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the casing and sashes therein, the upper sash being at the lowest position and swung inward, the lower sash being at .the highest position. Fig. 3'is a horizontal section through one side of the casing and the upper sash, the lower sash being broken out and shown in section through a securing catch. Fig.4; is a detail elevation showing the pivotal connection of the sash with the hanging stile.- Fig. 5 is, a section at the line 5 '5 on Fig. 4 the sash being shown at closed position. -Fig. 6 is .a detail section of the sash side 'bar and hanging stile, showing a catch device.

It will be seen that if from this position the sash is moved bodily in. an oblique downward and inward direction both studs will travel outof the slot and the sash will thereby be disengaged from the hanging stile, and may be reengaged by reversing the order of movement. V I

The lower sill, A of the casing is-recessed or cut away in the path of the outer and upper sash, as seen at a}, an amount at "least equal to,, and preferably a little more 5 than the lap of the "two sashes 'at their closed position. The purpose of this is to permit the upper sash to be depressed far enough so that its upper rail will. clear the lower rail of the lower sash when the latter sash is at the highest position,that is, at

the top of the casing,thus permitting the upper sash'to be swung inward about is pivotal connection with its hanging stile,

' so as to be below the lower, sash when. at

,such inswung position. This is frequently "upper sash could not be swung to the describedposition except with the lower sash also at that position below it, and this would be undesirable and. often inconvenient. in washing the window. The reason for making the recess, a, more than the lap of the two sashes is to permit the outer and upper sash to be provided with a seat in the head OiiilpPel, end of the -casing behind the" stop bar, A}, and avoid recessing the stop bar to permi't the lower sash to pass to the same height. as the outer or upper sash. The thickness of the stop bar and the depth of the recess which receives the upper end. of the up-' per sash at closed position is therefore preferably added to the lap of the sashes to make the full depth of therccess, (L in thelower sill. If preferred, or con enient in any case to construct the head of the casing so as to permit both sashes to pass up to the same point, the depth of the recess, a", need be only the amount of the lap of the two sashes. Such construction is shown in Fig. 8, a mere parting bead, a, being left projecting from the upper stop bar between the paths of the two sashes.

For checking either or bothsashes at horizontal position they may be provided with folding checks, K, K, each comprising two senses members pivoted together and pivotally connected, one to the edge of the sash and the other to the hanging stile. This device is shown applied only to the lower sash, but it will be readily understood that its use is-not limited to this sash.

For locking either sash at closed position there may be provided a two-part device, one part, M, being mounted in the side rail of the sash, and the other part, N, upon the face of the stile, theformer being mounted for turning to engage the latter.- As illus trated, the part, N, on the stile is a hookedged angle clip, ofwhich one hooked arm juts oil into the path ofthe sash, and as the sash swings to closed position is received in a recess, m, in the'edge of the sash rail opening at the rear side thereof. The part,

M, is a short cylinder having a hooked;

tooth or finger, m, which is turned into en gagement with the'hooked off-jutting arm of theclip, N ,,'tl1e hook terminal, m en- I the sloping hook terminal, 723-, of the part, N, fordrawing thehanging stile close against the edge ofthe' sash, and at the same time drawing and holdin the sash in against the guard lip, B 1. is lodged in a recess in the edge of {the sash and engaged and retained therein by the squared end of a spindle, M, vwhich is inserted through hole bored 1n from the face of the sash rail, its outer squared end being accessible for operation by a suitable key.

I claiIn':- 1. In combination a hanging stile and a sash pivotally con he cylinder, M,

nected-thcreto near the lower end of the stile, the pivotal connection comprising two studs proge'cting from the edge of the sash, the stile having an L-shaped slot with which said studs engage, such slot opening through the edge of the stile to; permit the studs to be withdrawn therefrom.

f 2.111 combination with a window casing, a hanging stile mounted for sliding therein and sash pivotally connected to the stile,

the pivotal connection cornprisim two studs jutting from the edge of the sa s li, the stile having a slot. extending upwardly and inwardly from its commencement near the outer side, and then. downwardly and 111- imvardly, and at its inner end opening through the edge of the stile, being spaced for engagement wit'hthe slot, one at the inner and lower end and the other at the apex or crest when the sash is at closed position. I

In combination with a window casing and upper and lower sashes there1n,hanging stiles for the sashes'rcspectively, consisting of'channel bars having the channel flanges facing outwardly from the edges of the sashes, 0ne of said flanges beingreflexed upon itself to form an inwardly facing stop the two studs 10o with a window casing,-

4. In combination with a window casing and sash therein, hanging stiles for the sash consisting of channel-bars having their channel flanges facing outwardly from the sash, the casing having grooves forming separate run-ways for the channel-flanges,

-the sash being pivotally connected to the stiles at the lower edge of the sash, and pivotal connections comprising a slot in the channel bar stile extending across the width of the channel bar between the flanges.

5. In combination with a window casing and sash therein, hanging stiles for the sash consisting of channel b ars having their flanges facing outwardly from the sash, the web of the 'channeLbar being pivoted to the edge of the sash near the lower side-of the iatter and lower end of the sash; the pivot connections comprising a stud projecting from the sash engaging a slotwhich extends transversely in the web of the channel bar between the flanges thereof and which opens through the lower edge of said Web foil" Witlb' from the stiles.

In combination with a window casing and sash therein, hangln stiles for the sash consisting of channelars having their channel flanges facing outwardly from the edges of the sash, the casing having grooves forming separate run-ways for the separate flanges, one of said flanges being reflexecl upon itself to form an inwardly facing stop shoulder; a retaining face mounted on the casing intermediate the grooves projecting into the groove which accommodates the reflexed flange for engaging said shoulder thereof, the sash being pivoted to the stiles,
