Abstract

A window comprising upper and lower sashes slidable in vertical tracks, has link and lever systems (10 to 15) supporting the sashes (6 and 8) from vertical sides (3) of a frame carrying the tracks (4 and 5) and permitting the sashes to be moved from a normally closed position to a fully reversed position so as to render the outside of each sash accessible from the inside.

Description

SPECIFICATION Window This invention relates to windows.
The object of the invention isto provide a window which at leastfrom the outside has the appearance of the traditional window comprising an upper sash slidable in an outervertical track and a lower sash slidable in an innervertical track butwhich hasthe advantage that both sashes can be reversed for cleaning the normally outside face of each sash from the inside.
According to the invention there is provided a window comprising a rectangularfixedframe having on each vertical side, an outervertical track extending from the top of the frame and partially down the height oftheframeandan innervertical trackextending from the bottom of the frame and partially up the height of the frame, an upper sash having on both sides at what is normally the top ofthe sash pivots slidable within the outervertical track, a lower sash having on both sides at what is normally the top of the sash pivots slidablewithinthe innervertical track, and link and lever systems supporting the sashesfrom the vertical sides oftheframe and permittingthe sashes to be moved from a normally closed position where the upper edge of the upper sash is closed against the upper side of the frame, the lower edge of the lower sash is closed against the lower side of the frame, and the lower edge of the upper sash is closed from the outside againstthe upper edge ofthe lowersash to a fully reversed position where the upper edge of each sash has been moved down its tracks and the lower edge of each sash has been swung outwards and upwards so as to render the outside of each sash accessible from the inside.
An embodiment ofthe invention will now be described, byway of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:- Fig. lisa perspective view from outside of a window according to the invention, partially open; Fig. 2 is a perspective view from inside of the window fully open; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view from inside ofthe window substantially fully reversed.
In the drawings, a fixed frame has a top 1, a bottom 2 and two vertical sides 3. An outer vertical track 4 extends partially down theframe from the top 1 on each side 3 and an inner vertical track 5 extends partially up the frame from the bottom 2 on each side 3. An upper sash 6 has on both sides at its top 7 pivots (not shown) slidable within the tracks 4. Likewise, a lower sash 8 has on both sides at its top 9 pivots (not shown) slidable within the tracks 5.
Each sash 6,8 is supported from the sides 3 of the frame on each side by a link and lever system comprising a lever 10 having one end pivoted ata fixed point 11 atthetop of each track 4, 5 and the other end articulated ata point 12 on a supporting link 13 intermediate its ends. The link 13 has one end articulated at a point 14to a side of the sash 6,8 intermediate its top and bottom and the other end has a pivot 15 slidable within an auxiliary track 16 alongside each track 4,5.When the window is closed the upper edge of the sash 6 is closed against the top 1 of the frame, the lower edge of the sash 8 is closed againstthe bottom 2 of the frame a bevelled rail 17 on the lower edge of the sash 6 is closed against a bevel on the upper edge ofthe sash 8, and the sides ofthe sash 6 are closed against checks 18 above the tracks 5 and extending outwards from checks 19forthesash 8.
The sash 6 is latched by means of latches (not shown) co-operable with keepers 20 mounted on the checks 18 and the sash 8 is latched by means of latches (not shown) co-operable with keepers 21 mounted on the bottom 2 oftheframe.
As each sash 6,8 is opened its lower edge is swung initially outwards and upwards, as in Fig. 1, while its top 7,9 is slid downwards. Further movement of each sash 6,8 results in it passing through a horizontal attitude as shown in Fig. 2. Still further movement of each sash 6,8 causes the reversal thereof, as shown in Fig. 3, so that outside of each sash is accessible from inside. twill be evident that in carrying out such movement the levers 10 firstly swing outwards about their pivots 11 and then return inwards. At the same time the pivots 15 slide part way up their auxiliary tracks 16 and then return down the tracks.
CLAIMS (filed on 27/10/83) 1. Awindow comprising a rectangularfixed frame having on each vertical side, an outer vertical track extending from thetop oftheframe and partially down the height of the frame and an inner vertical track extending from the bottom oftheframe and partially up the height of the frame, an upper sash having on both sides at what is normally the top of the sash pivots slidable within the outer vertical track, a lower sash having on both sides at what is normally the top ofthe sash pivots slidable within the inner vertical track, and link and leversystemssupporting the sashes from the vertical sides oftheframe and permitting the sashes to be moved from a normally closed position where the upper edge of the upper sash is closed against the upper side ofthe frame, the lower edge of the lower sash is closed against the lower side of the frame, and the lower edge ofthe upper sash is closed from the outside against the upper edge of the lower sash to a fully reversed position where the upper edge of each sash has been moved down its tracks and the lower edge of each sash has been swung outwards and upwards so as to renderthe outside of each sash accessible from the inside.
