Inventor 17;? By Allomey Patented Nov. 17, 19st WINDOW scnnniv Application filed June 6, 930. semen No. 459,475.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in window screens, and has as its principal object the provision of a screen capable of being moved with thewindow sash, in moving the window sash to an open position, and further being movable on the sash so that the screen without the sash may be returned to a position for closing the window opening.

During the course of thefollowing specification and claim, other important objects and advantages of the invention will readily become apparent to the reader.

In the drawings c c Figure 1 represents a horizontal sectional View through a casement window, with the window and screen in open position. 7

Fig. 2 represents a fragmentary vertical sectional view through a casement window equipped with the novel screen structure.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view disclosing the latch means for securing the screen to the casement window sash.

25 Fig l represents a fragmentary perspective View disclosing the socket on the casement window sash for receiving the latch member of the screen.

Fig. 5 represents a perspective View of the latch member.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view through a transom type of window sash with the novel screen installed thereon. a

Fig. 7 represents afragmentary vertical sectional view through a window of the hori- 35 zontal pivot type with the novel screen structure mounted thereon. I

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts. reference will first be made to the casement type of window shown in. Figs 1 to 5 inclusive. Thecasement window includes-the frame 5 with the stop strip 6 secured therein. sents the usual swinging sash with the window pane 8 mounted therein. The sash 7 is hingedly connected to the frame 5 as at 9 and has one end ofthe brace rods 10 pivotally connectedthercto as at 11. i A guide rod 12 is mounted on theframe of the window and has the collar 13 on the other end of the brace rod 10 slidable thereon and Numeral 7 repre-' equipped with a set screw 1ft. The foregoing is's'ubstantially of conventional construction. The present invention includes a' window screen-frame 15, whichis connected to a hinge leaf 17, as at'l8', 'the sa'idhinge leaf 17 being secured on the sash end 9 in a suitable manilier. The frame 15 has the usual mesh filler ing registering with an opening thru the frame for receiving the intermediate portion of the latch lever 21, one end of which is bent laterally to provide a handle 22, while the opposite end is bent laterally in a diametrically opposite direction to provide a. tongue 23, which is engageable through the slot 24, and into the pocket 25 behind the plate 26 in .which the slot 24 is formed, when the said tongue properly registers with the slot'24i, the said pocket25 and plate 26 being located on the frame 7 of the window sash.

An inwardly projecting arm 27 is provided on the stop strip 6 of the window frame over which the handle 23 may be hooked, when the screen is to be retained in a windowclosed position irrespective of the position of the window sash frame 7.

Fig. 6 shows the invention secured to a transom type of window, the construction being substantially the same as represented in the above specification figures.

Fig. 7 shows a horizontal pivot window, numeral 7, representing the window sash, with numeral 8 representing the hub structure. The screen is divided into an upper and a lower section denoted by numerals 15? and 16 respectively. The upper end of the window screen section 16' is hingedly secured to the hub '8, while the aforementioned latch 21 serves to retain the lower. edge thereof to the window frame. v j

The upper edge of the upper section 15 is pivotallyconnected to the frame of the window as at 28, while its lower edge bears] against the hub, 8. As shown in dotted lines,

The sleeve 20 on the frame 15 has its .openthe'window screen will remain in a vertical 7 position, regardless of the window frame 7.

While the foregoing specification sets position of the forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size, and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter. 5 Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is In a pivotally mounted window construction; a sash, a screen mounted on the sash, a hinge section between the screen and the sash, a projection on the usual window frame, an L-shaped handle rotatably mounted on the screen, one end of the handle being provided with a lug for engaging the sash to retainthe screen thereto, the opposite end of the handle being adapted for engagement with the pro iection on the-window frame to retain the window sash and screen in closed position with res eat to the usual Window frame.

I testimony whereof I'afiix my signature.

JOHN T. SAMPSON.
