HINGE FOR AWNING-BLINDS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J une 6, 1916.
Application filed September 21, 1915. Serial No. 51,764.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, LEVIS S. CHASEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Red Bank, in the countyof Monmouth and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Hinge for Awning- Blinds, of which the following is a' full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to building construction and has, particular reference to window blinds and awnings.
Among the objects of the invention is to provide a protection for a window against cold, rain, or other elements, as well as providing a protection against sunlight or the like.
More definitely stated, the invention consists of a combination storm blind and awning contrivance, the device being adapted to be closed as storm protection or to be swung open on either vertical or horizontal hinges according to the weather or other conditions to be met.
lVith the foregoing and other objectsin view, the invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed, and while the in- V vention is not restricted to the exact details of construction disclosed herein, still for the purpose of illustrating a practical embodiment thereof reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the outside of a window equipped with my improvement; Fig. 2 is an inside view of the shutter devices closed; Fig. 3 is an enlarged horizontal sectional detail substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, with certain parts broken away; Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional detail on the line H of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional detail about on the line 55 of Fig. 2, but with the awning device in open position; and Fig. 6 is a detail per-' spective view of one of the compound hinges.
The primary part of the invention relates to the upper portion of the window construction and in the form illustrated it includes two shutter or awning elements 10 and 11 movably connected to the upper portion of the window frame 12. These elements 10 and 11 may extend downwardly and outwardly to any desired distance with respect to the window frame as a whole. In
this instance, however, I show auxiliary shutter members 13 and 14: secured by hinges 15 to the sides of the window frame and adapted to swing outwardly away from each other around vertical axes. The length of these auxiliary members may be regarded as complemental to that ofthe awning members first mentioned and preferably I form the lower members short enough so, that the lines of connection between the upper and lower members'will be far enough beneath the meeting rails 16 of the window sashes as to provide free access to the awning or shutter devices. r
The members 10 and 11 are secured at their upper ends to the corners of the window frame by compound hinges each of which comprises a strap 17, a strap 18, and
an intermediate plate 19. The strap 17 is secured to the outer face of the window frame and is connected to the plate 19 by a horizontal joint 20. The strap 18 is secured to the corner of the awning element and is connected to the plate 19 by a vertical joint 21. Either-joint 20 or 21 is functional independently of the other and hence the awning elements 10 and 11 so far as'these compoundhinges are concerned are adapted to be swung outwardly at the bottom awning fashion around the joints 20, or they may be swung outwardly shutter fashion around the vertical joints 21. Fig. 1 shows the element 11 adjusted as an awning, while the other element 10 is swung open laterally as well as out at the bottom. This illustration is intended to show the possibilities of movement of the parts, although the element 10 will not ordinarily be adjusted in practice as herein shown. Fig. 3, however, indicates the element 10 swung open shutter fashion.
A horizontal bar 22 extends across the window adjacent the lower ends of the elements 10 and 11. This bar is connected to the lower outer corners of the members 10 and 11 by hinges 23. Each of these hinges comprises an angular strap 23 and a plate strap 23". The latter is connected directly to the shutter element and the former is connected to the adjacent end of the bar 22 but projects slightly beyond itas shown at 24, forming a positive stop limiting the inwardly swinging movement of the device. The knuckles 25 of these hinges are vertical or in alinement with the joints 21 of the compound hinges. The bar 22 is adapted to be locked in position in the window frame with its outer surface substantially flush with the plane of the inner surfaces of the shutter members when closed. Suitable locks are shown as sliding bolts 26 carried by the ends of the bar. One of the elements 10 and 11 overlaps the other at their meeting edges 27 when closed, and a button 28 of any suitable character carried by the member 10 may be used to lock the members 10 and 11 against the outer surface of the bar In order to swing the shutter members out around the axes of the joints 21 and 25, all that is necessary is to turn the button 28 upwardly releasing it from the bar 22. The shutters may then be swung outwardly freely the same as the lower members 13 and 14:, the bar 22 remaining in its locked position. In this position the members 10 and 11 will be rigidly supported upon the compound hinges and hinges 23. The members 10 and 11, however, areadapted to be swung outwardly from the bottom, both re maining in the same plane. For this action the button 28 is left in locked position upon the bar 22 and the bolts 26 are withdrawn. The entire awning device comprising the members 10, 11 and 22 may then be swung outwardly at the bottom as shown in Figs. 1 and The members 10 and 11. are locked rigidly together and to the part 22 at the bottom and are supported directly upon the horizontal hinges 20 at the top. Jointed braces of common form may be connected to the window frame and ends of the bar 22 for temporarily supporting the awning device in open position. These jointed braces break upwardly at their oints when closing the awning.
I claim 1. The combination of a pair of shutter elements and supporting means therefor, said supporting means comprising a pair of compound hinges at their upper ends, a ri id bar, and a pair of hinges connecting the ends of the bar to the lower ends of said elements.
2. The combination of a pair of shutter elements cooperating with each other at their meeting edges and supporting devices for said elements comprising a rigid bar secured permanently to the lower ends of the elements and means locking the elements to the bar at their meeting edges.
8. The combination with a window frame and a pair of shutter elements fitted thereto, of compound hinges connecting the upper outer corners of the elements to the frame and adapted to permit the elements to swing outwardly around independent yertieal axes or the same horizontal axis, and means for supporting the lower ends of the shutter elements comprising a transverse rigid bar. hinges connecting the lower outer corners of the elements to the ends of the bar, and means to lock the ends of the bar to the window frame when the elements are swung around their vertical axes.
