Specification of Letters Eatent.

Patented June 1, 1920.

Application led August 9, 1919. Serial No. 316,375.

To all whom t muy concern Be it known that l, lilNos CLAYTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of l/Vayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful improvement in *Weather-Strips, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to weather strips and particularly to a weather strip designed for use in connection with the sill and lower cross rail in a easement or hinged window, commonly spoken of as a French window, or a sash door.

ln the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective in section showing the easement window hinged in place.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing the cross rail of the window slightly withdrawn from its seat.

Fig. 3 is a modification of the weather strip provided with the sill.

in the drawings let a represent the jarnl'i of a easement window; b the sash swung from such jamb; c the window sill, and d the outer stop or sub-sill embedded therein. c is the lower cross ail of the winoow which abuts the outer stop when the window is closed.

The lower rail c is recesseo in rectangular cross-section so that a portion of it overlaps the outer stop and weather strip carried by the sill. A vertical groove c2 extending upward from said recess and adapted to rece've the weather strip y, which is bent outwardly within the said recess forming a horizontally dependent flange extending flush with the outer surface of the lower cross rail, is provided. To the sill is attached a weather strip y, as shown, comprising' a base portion g2 which is adapted to be fastened to the sill by means of screws or nails and extends outwardly thereon. Such base portion provided with a trough, the outer side ot' which is substantially vertical, the inner side being formed to follow the outer curvature of the outer stop Z and projects interiorly thereof. Both sides have their upper edge* turned inwardly forming horizontal flanges g3, gt spaced one from the other. The space provided between the horizontal inwardlyprojecting flanges g3 and g4 is adapted to receive the outwardly-projecting horizontal flange ,t2 of the cooperating strip carried by the cross rail of the window. This forms a weather-tight oint between sections f and g of the weather strip. The flange g4 is adapted to fit into a horizontal groove e3 in the lower cross rail. Said horizontal groove c3 extends inwardly from the inner face of the recess in said cross rail and is fiush with the under surface of the outwardly-projecting flange The trough is further provided with openings L, z, allowing the water which may collect therein to iiow outward through such openings on the slope of the sill.

lt will be noted that a peculiarly well-designed weather strip is here provided for the purpose sought. Any water which may blow through between the flange g3 and the lower cross rail c would not fall interior of the outer stop on the sill and be in position to seep through underneath the window, but would be caught by the horizontal outwardly projecting flange f2 of the coperating section of the weather strip carried by the window and drain back into the trough and out through the openings /i provided therein. Any moisture following the meta-l weather strip f2 out underneath the same, eventually dripping off from the underside, would be caught by the interiorly projecting iiange g3 and drain back into the trough.

Fig. 2 shows the weather strip g made of one piece of metal. Fig. 8 is a modification thereof showing the weather strip g made of two pieces of metal, the lower piece forming` the inside wall of the trough, the outer one forming the outside wall thereof. T he operation would in each instance be similar.

Vil hat I claim is:

In a Casement window, in combination with a window frame provided with a sill and outer stop aiiixed thereto, the lower cross-rail of said -window recessed to overhang said outer stop, a weather-strip carried by said cross-rail dependent within said recess and provided with an outwardly projecting horizontal flange spaced from the ceiling of said recess, a coperating weatherstrip carried by the sill comprising a trough provided with inwardly projecting horizontal flanges spaced one from the other adapted to receive between them in close-fitting relationship the outwardly-projecting horizontal flange of the weather-strip carried by the cross-rail.
