WINDOW.

Application filed October 3, 1923. Serial No. 666,370.

To all whom it'may concern:

Be it known that I, CAMrLLo VERI, a citizen of Italy (having taken out first United States citizenship papers), and a resident of Garfield, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Window, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to Windows and has for an object to provide an improved window construction wherein the usual appearance is presented while at the same time the parts are so formed as to permit-both the upper and lower sashes to be swung in.- wardly when access to their exterior is desired.

Another-object of the invention is to provide a window structure wherein a hinged sash is mounted on sliding sash uprights with means which may be operated manually for swinging either the upper or lower sash inwardly at a point near the sill of the window.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide a window structure in which the glass panes may be readily applied or removed without tools or without injury to the sash.

An additional object is to provide a window structure wherein the window sashes are held in place by removable-strips associated with an aperturefilling block whereby access may be secured to the inner surface of the window frame on each side.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of part of a wall with the window disclosing an embodiment of the invention applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view through Figure 1, approximately on line 22, the same being somewhat on an enlarged scale.

Figure 3 is a front View with-certain parts broken away of the window shown in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view through Figure 3, approximately on line H. e

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numeral, 1 indicates a wall of'any desired kind into which is fitted a window frame 3 adapted to carry the sashes 4 and 5.. The frame 3 is made in the usualmanner except for the provision of strips 6 and 7 held in place by suitable screws or other removable fastening means 8. Each of the strips 6 covers a removable block 9 which fills anopening in part of the frame 3and when the strips are removed and the blocks 9 removed, access may be had to the inte nor of the frame 1 so as to adjust the weights or for any other desired purpose.

The frame 3 is also provided with a special top plate 10 held in place by a. hinge structure 11 of any desired kind. The plate 10 is in line with the sash 5 so that when said sash is raised to its highest point it will move the plate 10 back to the dotted position shown in Figure 2. It will be noted dependent sliding bars 12 and 13 of identical I construction. The sliding bar 13 is 'connected to the swinging section 5 of the sash by suitable hinges 14 while the sliding bar 12 is connected to the swinging section 5 through a spring pressed bolt 15. The sliding bar 12 is provided with a plate 16 hinged at 17, said plate being. provided with spurs or lugs 18 and 19, spur 18 being normally positioned as shdwn in Figure 3.

When it is desired to swing the sash section 5 outwardly as shown in Figure 1, the sash is moved upwardly to the dotted position shown in Figure 3 and the'plate 16 swung over until the spur or lug 19 projects into the aperture or depression 20 in the frame 3. The belt 15 is then retracted and the section 5 swung to an open position. It is desirable touse the late 16 as just described in order to hol the sliding bar. 12 in a lowered position.

It will be noted that the sash cord 21 has one end secured to the sliding bar 12, said cord passing over a suitable pulley 22 and v carrying any suitable weight. If the sliding bar was not anchored as just described, the weight would immediately raise the same. to an. upward position. When the section 5' is in the position shown in that the same is placed in position through a slot 247formed in the upper end of the section 5, said section 5 having the vertical bars slotted in such a manner as to merge into the slot 24 so that the edges of the pane 23 will project into the side bars 7 of the section 5 while the bottom edge Wlll project into a suitable groove in the operate on the outer face of the upper sash 4:, sash 5 is moved to a closed position and the bolt allowed to snap into the rapper-- ture 15 whereupon the section is locked to the sliding bar. 12. The plate 16 is then swung back to the full line position shown in Figure 3 and the entire sash raised until it assumes the dotted position shown in Figure 2-. The upper sash is then lowered until the lower end is slightly above the window sill 25. The plate 16' carried by the sliding bar 12' is then shifted until the pin or spur 19 engages the aperture 20' in-the window frame 3; This will lock the sliding ban 12' in position so that the bolt 15" may be retracted and the section 4:

connected to the sliding bar 13'. lit will be noted that the section 4! of the upper sash swings inwardly at substantially the same point as section 5 so that access may be readily had to the outer surface thereof from the interior of a room and without reaching upwardly as the upper sash is in a lowered position. After the section 4' has been moved back to its former position with the-bolt 15 engaging an-aperture in the sliding bar 12', plate 16' may be re leased and moved back to the position shown in Figure 3 with the spur or pin 18' projecting into a suitable aperture in the section 4:.

lllfhen the parts are properly connected swung on it hinges 26, which hinges are together as just described, the respective sashes may be raised and lowered in the usual manner and will present the usual appearance of an ordinary window. The thumb members connected with the respec tive bolts 15 and 15" and the hinges 1d and 26 may, of course, be seen, but these are comparatively small and, therefore, not objectionable.

What I claim is lln a window structure, a window frame havinga pair of slide-ways and an aperture substantially midway of the window frame extending into one of said slide-ways, a sash comprising a pair of sliding bars fittin into said slide-ways, said sa'sh being formed with a pane receiving sashframe, hinge members for hingedly connecting said sash frame with one of said sliding bars, means acting as a catch for disengageably locking the other of said sliding bars to the opposite edge of said sash frame, a plate hingedly connected to the top of said last mentioned sliding {bar and normally overlapping the upper end of said sash frame, said plate having oppositely extending pins, one of said pins normally extending into said sash frame and the other into said aperture in Gil said window frame when the plateis swung away from the sash frame whereby a second catch is provided for the last mentioned bar for preventing independent upward movement thereof whereby said catch may be moved to a disengaged position and said sash frame swung on its hinges without permitting the sliding bar to move upwardly.
