WINDOW sasH.

Application tiled March 10, 1828. serial No. 260,629..

This invention relates to new and luseful improvements in window sashes and alms to lprovide a stationary sash structure for disposition within the usual wall frame and where 6 in the same includes a plurality of horizontal glass panels or panes, mounted at their ends or turning movement. Normally the opposite longitudinal edges of these glass panels v are in overlapping relation Whereas means is provided for ermitting of the simultaneous turning 'o all the panels upon their axes so that the room may be properly ven tilated.

An important object of this invention rela sides in the provision of a window sash of this character that is of very simple construe-- tion when considering the advantages thereof, and wherein the various glass panels may be easily replaced when broken, thus overto coming the requirement of the re )lacing of a lar e glass panel now employe in sliding an swinging sashes.

Furthermore, the use of a sash of this character will permit of the proper ventilation ot the room when the panels are moved to open position, and this without any liability of draft or without any possibility of rain snow and the like passing between sai anels.

With the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of the invention is better understood the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully, described, shown `in the accompanying drawings andclaimed.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal section taken substantially upon the line 2-2 of Figure 1 and looking downward ly in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section through the rockably mounted glass panel looking toward one vertical edge of the sash frame disclosing the means whereby the ends of the panels are rotatably mounted within the frame.

Figure 10 is a detail vertical section through one vertical side of the frame structure, this view being taken substantially upon the line 10-10 of Figure 2.

Figure 1l isa perspective of one of the glass panels, and

Figure 12 is an enlarged transverse section taken substantially upon the broken line l2-12 of Figure 3.

Now having particular reference to the drawings, A in Figure 1 consists of a generally conventional wooden frame structure for disposition or arrangement within the building wall during the construction thereof.

The present invention per se consists of a pair of vertical frame units B-B for disposition againstthe inner sides of the vertical frame members of the window frame A. Each unit B consists of a backingstrip 5 the rear vertical edge of which is formed with a relatively wide yinwardly extending flange 6, while the forward vertical edge thereof is formed with a relatively narrow inwardly extending flange 7. Arranged against the strip 5 and between the flanges 6 and 7 is a channel strip 8, said strips 5 and 8 being formed intermediate their vertical edges with spaced registering openings whereby the strip may be tightly secured together and to the sides of the window frame A by screws or other fasteners 9. y

The outer edges of the rear flanges 6 of the said units B-B are bent inwardly upon the channel strips 8 and thence so formed as to vfacilitate the attachment of a suitable screen 10 between the side frame units of the said side frame, seer Figure 2.

The channel strips 8 of the frame units B-B are formed at their outer faces with circular pits or pockets 11, the inner wall of each of which is formed adjacent the outer edge of the strip with an arcuate slot 12.

Furthermore, between the ends of each' of these slots the inner surface and outer wall of the channel strip is formed with an inclined radial slot 13. Rotatably arranged within each of the channel strip pockets 11 is a pan shaped aunulus 1-1 formed centrally with a cross channel or slot 15 open at its opposite ends and within which is a suitable lining 1G such as rubber or cement. Projecting through and movable within the arcuate slots l2 of the channel strip pockets and attached to the respective annulus 1l is a pin 16 the outer ends of which are associated with a vertical lever 1T arranged between the strips 5 and 8 of the said frame units B.l The lowermost pin 16 is of elongated formation and projects through the lowermost aunulus 1-l as disclosed in Iiigure 10. This lowermost pin is threaded for receiving a wing nut 18 which when turned inwardly for binding engagement with the adjacent annulus will retain the lever 17 in predetermined position.

The invention furtherl consists of a plurality of glass panels 19, the opposite ends `of which are of reduced width for providing tongues 20-20 for arrangement within the slots 15 of opposed annuli within the frame units B-B. The width of these glass panels are such that the adjacentlongitudinal edges thereof will have overlapping relation when the annuli are rotated to move their slots to relatively vertical position in which position the sash is entirely closed.

However, by releasing the wing nut 18 and drawing downwardly upon the lowermost pin 16 will cause the rotation of the annuli and consequently the rocking of the panels to any desired open position. Vilhenever it is desired to move any of the glass panels it is only necessary to move the annuli until the cross slot-s 15 thereof register with the slots 13 of the channel strip 8 whereupon the panels may be slid from position.

Arranged beneath the lowermost panel 19 and above the uppermost panel and attached to the main` window frame A are cross strips 22-22 for preventing the passage of air, rain and the like through the sash above the upper and lowermost. panels when the panels have been moved to closed position.

Itwill thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel, relativel simple and extremely practical window sas 1 construction that isy well adapted for all the purposes heretofore designated, even though I have herein shown and described the invention as consisting of certain detail structural elements it is nevertheless to b-e understood that some changes may be made therein without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is:

l. In a window sash of the character described, a pair of spaced parallel frame units, a plurality of longitudinally spaced members rotatably arranged within the inner faces of said frame units, horizontal glass panels arranged at their ends within said members, means whereby all of said members may be simultaneously rotated for moving the panels to open or closed position, the inner faces of said members being cross slotted for receiving the ends of the glass panels and said frame units being formed at their outer edges with slots whereby when the member channels are in alinement with said slots said panels may be removed therefrom.

2. In a window sash of the character described, a pair of spaced parallel frame units,

a plurality of longitudinally spaced members v rotatably arranged within the inner faces of said frame units, horizontal glass panels arranged at their ends with said members means whereby all of said members may be simultaneously rotated for moving the panels to open or closed position, said means consisting of a lever longitudinally movable within each frame unit and connected to said members by pins projecting through arcuate slots in the inner faces of said frame units, and securing means attached to the lower end of one lever projecting through the inner face of said frame unit in a manner and for the purpose described.

3. In a window sash of the character described, a pair of spaced parallel frame units, a plurality-of longitudinally spaced members rotatably arranged on the inner faces of said frame unit, horizontal transparent panels secured at their ends to said rotatable members, an elongated member connected to said rotatable member whereby the same may be rotated, a pin projecting from one end vof said elongated member and being threaded, a head on the outer end ofsaid pin, said pin adapted to project through one of said rotatable members, and a member threaded thereon for binding engagement against the said rotatable member.

4. In a Window sash of the character described, a pair of spaced parallel frame units, each of said units being formed with longitudinally spaced circular recesses, the inner walls of certain of'said recesses being formed with arcuate slots, circular members for rotation in the recesses, transparent panels arranged between opposing rotatable members, and means operable through said slot for rotating said rotatable members.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

RICHARD S. KELLY.
