Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a window structure, and more particularly to a sliding window structure that includes two casements (sashes) balanced by suspended counterweights, and even more particularly to sliding window structures commonly known as "double hung" windows, as might be found in Colonial style homes, for example.
- casements In the case of swivel-swinging windows, the axis of rotation is aesthetically disturbing, and it is cumbersome to fix and to operate such windows.
- casements In one relatively simple solution, i.e., a double hung window arrangement, casements, or sashes, are movable separately in two glideways offset from and parallel to each other. This allows either the window on one side to be slid beside the other one, or the opposite way, or allows each of the casements (sashes) to be slid in the direction of the other.
- the free surface that may be provided is, at most, half of the area of the whole window opening.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention eliminates the above deficiencies, and provides a window structure making the opening of the whole window surface possible, and at the same time, producing intermediate window-openings of any size, and in which the closed state can be produced by casements (also called sashes) in one plane.
- the casements do not provide any spatial limitations in their opened state.
- This objective can be achieved according to this aspect of the invention by a sliding window structure which includes two suspended, counterweight balanced casements or sashes led parallel to each other by pins in guide grooves provided in two vertical window posts.
- the breast below the window contains a cavity suitable for receiving two parallel casement sashes side-by-side, so that the entire window opening may be made free of glass or casements, and the casements are stored out of sight.
- the two parallel casements may be located in the same plane, one on top of the other. In intermediate positions, the two casements may be placed side- by-side, in either an upper portion of the window opening, or in a lower portion of the window opening.
- window sections in relatively large sized windows and/or where there may be limited space below the window opening, for example, three parallel window sections may be used, wherein the uppermost window section is preferably in a fixed position, and the two other window sections are sliding window casements, as described above. In a closed position, for example, all three window sections are preferably arranged in the same plane.
- the window casements may slide horizontally.
- the sliding window casements in a fully open position may both be placed in an horizontally adjacent "pocket” in the wall, or may be stowed one on either side of the window opening.
- Figure 2 provides an enlarged picture of the crossing section of the guiding grooves according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 3 provides an enlarged picture of the branching section of guiding grooves in the breast.
- FIG. 7 A preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention is described below.
- window opening 8 is shown in wall 7.
- breast 3 of appropriate height is situated under window opening 8, breast 3 of appropriate height is situated.
- breast 3 is of a height at least half of the height of the window opening 8, and cavity 4 is developed in breast 3, being of a size suitable for receiving casements (also called sashes) 1 and 2 behind each other.
- the window structure preferably includes casements 1 and 2 guidable in a sash in a manner to be described later, with guiding pins on both sides of the window casements.
- a system of guiding grooves is built into the vertical sides of the window posts (not shown).
- the system of guiding grooves preferably includes two parallel vertical sections 11 and 12 in the region of window opening 8, where vertical section 11 continues also into cavity 4 of breast 3.
- the two vertical sections 11, 12 may be connected by two crossing sections 14a and 14b in the lower region of window opening 8.
- the two vertical sections 11, 12 are preferably connected by a horizontal section 13 at the half height of the window opening.
- branching section 16 communicates with an upper portion of vertical section 11 within cavity 4.
- horizontal section 15 communicates with vertical section 11.
- Figure 2 shows crossing sections 14a and 14b connecting vertical sections 11 and 12 in an enlarged picture. At the upper and lower crossing points of crossing sections 14a and 14b, tiltable direction changing turn-outs 17 are arranged, which make the guide groove open or free either in crossing section 14a, or in crossing section 14b, depending on the orientation of tiltable direction changing turn-outs 17.
- Figure 2 shows also suspending cables 5, 6 for casements 1 and 2.
- window casements 1 and 2 may preferably be adjusted in different ways, as illustrated in Figs la-lh.
- Fig. la i.e. in the closed position of the window structure, all the guiding pins of both casements 1, 2 are preferably situated in vertical section 12, i.e., both casements are arranged parallel, in the same plane, one on top of the other.
- the upper guiding pin of casement 2 is moved in the direction of the arrow in connecting section 13, thus the guiding pin is placed into vertical section 11.
- the lower guiding pin is placed into the appropriately adjusted crossing section 14 into vertical section 11, and casement 2 is moved upwards to its upper limit of travel or end position adjacent to casement 1, thus making the lower part of window opening 8 free.
- Casements 1 and 2 may be made relatively easy to move and may also be relatively fixed in each location depicted, due to the effect of appropriately selected counterweights. After moving casement 2 to the upper position, a downward movement of casements 1 and 2 parallel to each other becomes possible, just by being guided by vertical sections 11 and 12. This way, the upper part of window opening can be made free, as depicted in Fig. Id.
- casement 2 may be moved downward, and branching section 16 may also be made free or open by means of direction changing turnout 18.
- casement 2 moves downward until it reaches its lower limit of travel, which is essentially at the bottom of breast cavity 4. After that, the upper portion of casement 2 may be moved horizontally into horizontal section 15, thus bringing casement 2 into a vertical position.
- casement 1 may also be brought into a position above crossing section 14a, and crossing section 14a is made open or free by means of direction changing turn-out 17, and through this, casement 1 is moved downwards into breast cavity 4.
- direction changing turn-out 18 has to be repositioned, to open or free the portion of vertical section 11 situated in breast 3.
- casement 1 is moved downwards as shown in Fig. lg, until it reaches its lower end position at the bottom of cavity 4, as illustrated in Fig. lh, the position when window opening 8 is fully open.
- the window may be in positions in which the window fully opened or closed, as well as any intermediate position, in an aesthetically pleasing way, without taking space away from the room.
- the window depicted in the Figures is manually operable, but may also be realized by known remote control techniques which control motorized movement and components (not shown).
- direction changing turnouts 17 and 18 may be actuated by known electro-mechanical means such as electrical relays and mechanical switching arms (not shown).
- a remote control device may actuate the mechanized movement of the window casements by use of infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver techniques and devices, or there could be a direct electrical wiring control unobtrusively connected to the mechanized window structure, by use of an electrical control switch located on the wall adjacent to the window, for example, to control the up and down movement of the casements, and to activate the direction changing turnouts.
- IR infrared
- RF radio frequency
- the weight of casements 1 and 2 may be counterbalanced by suspended counterweights located within the outer portions of the window structure, as is conventionally known.
- the guiding grooves may be made of metal, or of the same material of the casement or sash, whereas guiding pins on the sashes may include iron fittings, or fittings of other suitable material, e.g., corrosion resistant fittings.
- the sliding window structure may include three or more window sections.
- the sliding window structure may include more than two casements.
- the third window section above may, in another aspect of this embodiment, also be slidable and stowable in the breast cavity (not shown), with appropriate modifications being made to the crossing section and associated direction changing turnouts to accommodate three tracks for sliding each of the three casements into the breast cavity.
- the window casements may be arranged to slide horizontally, rather than vertically.
- the sliding window casements in a fully open position, may both be placed in the same horizontally adjacent "pocket" in the wall, or may be stowed one on either side of the window opening in two separated pockets.
- This invention has applicability to home or office remodeling, and in particular to new construction homes or offices in which the novel and aesthetic features of the sliding window structure are desirable to improve aesthetics and air flow through the building.
- the window structure may also include, for larger window openings, more than two casements, with appropriate modification of the guiding grooves.
- Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
- the breadth and scope of the present invention is therefore limited only by the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
