JOSIAH PERCIVAL STEVENS, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
SASH-I-IOL'DER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 4, 1916.
Application filed November 23, 1915. Serial No. 63,106.
To all whom it may concern 1 Be it known that I, JOSIAH P. S'rnvnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Holders, and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The present invention relates to improve- 1 ments in sash holders, and has for an object to provide an improved device for securing window sashes against relative movement after the same have been adjusted to give the required ventilation.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved fixture or device for holding window sashes which will be of simple construction, capable of easy positioning and operation, and economical of manufacture.
- The invention will'be more fully understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar reference numbers indicate similar parts throughout the several views, and in which z- Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of a pair of window sashes illustrating the improved holder mounted in connection therewith, and illustrated partly in section and partly in elevation; and Fig. 2is a perspective View of the improved sash holder.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the improved holder includes a frame comprising an elongated member 1, and a pair of legs 2 and 3 depending from opposite ends thereof and cast integral therewith.
The leg 2 is reduced and shouldered as indicated at 4 to encounter and rest upon the upper edge of the lower sash 5, as more particularly seen in Fig. .1, and below the shoulder 4 the inner face 5" of sald leg is formed straight to conform to the adjacent wall of said sash and lie in contact therewith throughout. The opposite face 6 of the leg 2 is advantageously curved downwardly, or tapered, to facilitate insertion between the lower sash frame 5 and the upper sash frame 7, as will be clear from Fig. l. The opposite leg 3 is provided with a threaded perforation for receiving a threaded'rod 8, rotatable through a wheel 9 having a milled edge 10 for convenient grasp and operation by the fingers. The inner end of said threaded rod 8 is reduced as indicated at 11 to receive a relatively stationary head 12, the latter being preferably formed with a concave outer face 13 for receiving the upset or riveted end 14 of the threaded rod 8.
A relatively elongated and threaded rod 15 is journaled through registering perforations in the legs 2 and 3, above the firstmentioned rod 8 and the shoulder 4; one of said perforations, preferably that in the leg 2, being threaded to cooperate with the threads on the rod 15, whereby the same is advanced and retreated axially upon manipulation of a wheel 16 similar to the above described wheel 9, and having a milled periphery 17. The threaded rod 15 extends beyond the leg 2, where it receives a head 18 similar to the head 12 on the rod 8, and the same being formed with a concave outer face 19 accommodating the rivet 20, whereby the same is rotatably secured to said rod 15.
In the operation of the device, the tapered and reduced lower end of the leg 2 is inserted over the upper sill of the lower sash and in the space between the lower and upper sashes. Such positioning will be clear from an inspection of Fig. 1. The frame of the device is forced downwardly over the upper sash 5 until the shoulder 4 abuts upon the upper edge of the same, when it will be seen that the upper member 1 is spaced thereabove. The wheel 9 is thereupon gripped and rotated to advance the threaded rod 8 in the leg 3, and thereby brings the head 12 into engagement with the outer face of the lower sash 5, where the same acts as a clamp to secure the parts in position.
After the frame has been securely located on the lower sash 5, and the sashes 5 and 7 have been correspondingly raised and lowered as required to give the desired ventilation, the threaded rod 15 is now shifted by right-hand rotation of the milled wheel 16 in an obvious manner, and the same will operate to advance the head 18 into engagement with the upper sash 7 and the movement can be continued until a thorough binding of the sashes against relative movement results.
It will be noted that a reverse rotation of the milled wheel 16 can be quickly effected to release the upper sash 7 and permit the ordinary relative shifting of the sashes, and the device can remain on the lower sash 5 without interfering with the ordinary operation of the sashes. It will, therefore, be readily seen that the above described device forms an excellent detachable fixture which can be carried about by travelers to secure the sashes of hotel room windows which may open out on balconies, or other exposed places; although the device may find excellent service in homes, for securing in open position the sashes of windows which open out on porches and lawns.
I wish it to be understood that I am aware of devices having the same general purpose as the above, and I do not claim this invention broadly; however, it will be obvious that the details of the present construction may be varied and changed without departing from the spirit of the invention, provided such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim 1. In a sash holder, the combination of an elongated member, a pair of legs integral with said elongated member and arranged to embrace a sash, a clamp associated with one of said legs for securing the holder on said sash with the elongated member supported spaced above the upper edge thereof, a rod fitted through said legs above the clamp and beneath said elongated member in the space between the latter and the upper edge of the sash, and means for moving said rod axially into and out of engagement with the companion sash, substantially as described.
2. In a sash holder, the combination of an elongated member, legs extending from said member and adapted to embrace one sash, a shoulder on one of said legs at a distance from said elongated member for engaging the upper edge of the sash and supporting the elongated member in spaced relation thereabove, means associated with another leg for removably securing the holder in place, a rod fitted through said legs and movable longitudinally in the space between said elongated member and the upper edge of the sash, means carried by said rod for engaging the companion sash, and means for operating said rod, substantially as described.
3. In a sash holder, the combination of an elongated member, integral legs on said elongated member for straddling one sash and having alining perforations therein one being threaded, means associated with one of said legs for removably clamping the holder in place on one sash, a shoulder on another leg at a distance removed from said elongated member for engaging the upper edge of the sash and supporting the elongated member in spaced relation thereabove, a rod journaled for rotation in the alining perforations in said legs and occupying the space between said elongated member and the upper edge of the sash, said rod bein threaded to cooperate with the threade perforation for moving the former axially when rotated, means for rotating said rod,
and means carried by said rod for engaging the companlon sash, substantially as described.
4:. In an improved sash holder of the character described, the combination of a frame including an elongated member, a pair of legs depending from said member for embracing one of the sashes, one of said legs being tapered for insertion between the sashes and shouldered to engage the upper face of the respective sash, a threaded clamp rod journaled through one of said legs, means for rotating said rod, a relatively stationary head on said rod adapted; forengagement with the adjacent face of the sash for securing the frame in position, a second rod journaled through said legs above the shoulder and clamp rod and threaded for axial movement on rotation thereof, means for rotating the last-mentioned rod, and a relatively stationary head on. said lastnamed rod for engaging the companion sash to bind the same against relative movement, substantially as described. ii
In testimony whereof, I affixmy signature.
