A ril 12, 1932. 1-. J. FINNERTY I WINDOW DEVICE Filed May 19, 1928 IN VEN TOR Patented Apr.- 12, 1932 J UNITED STATES P E T FFI'4CEI'L,
THOMAS J'. FINNERIY, OF PHILADEJ IiPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO CHARLES JACKSON, OERIDGEWOOD, NEW JERSEY wmnow DEVICE Application filed May 19,
improved means whereby operation of the window may be effected with ease and also simplicity both as to the mechanism employed and the mode of operating same,
A more specific object is to provide im-' proved means adapted to automatically hold the window in any position to which it is opened and tohave this means adapted for release to permit automatic closing of the window, this being specifically accomplished by the provision of telescopic members one of which has a spring operated'pivoted friction element for engagement with the other member.
Other objects and advantages will be seen from the following description of the accompanying drawings in which;
Fig. 1 is a perspective of a window arrangement showing my improved device applied thereto. 7 i
Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective of my device applied to a fragmentary portion of a window and sash, and
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary section showing the locking element in detail.
To obtain a device which is not only efiicient in operation but is also simple in design and therefore inexpensive to manufacture, I provide two telescopic or extensible members 1 and 2 respectively pivot-ally connected to brackets 3 and 4 carried on the stationary window frame 5 and movable window sash 6. The window herein disclosed is of the type pivoted on a horizontal axis 7 above its A friction element 8 is pivotally supported at 9 to a collar 10 in turn threadedly connected to member 1 which may be a pipe as shown or of other suitable construction adapted for cooperation with a second member such as 2.
opening 11 in the friction element 8, the wall of the opening being in constant frictional contact with rod 2'due to a compression spring12 disposed ina recess or collar 10 and side of element projections 13 carried on each Thus it is seen that due to the pivotal connections to sash 6 and frame 5 being on oppositejsides of the pivot 7 the windowwhen moved to anyopen position as by a'pull chain 14 will cause rod 2 to slide inwardly of pipe 1, the friction'element 8 automatically releasing itself although the instant the pull on chain 14 is stopped, friction element 8immediately' grips rod 2 and holds the window in position. V
To close the window, friction element 8 need only be pulled downwardly against spring 12% by achain 15 connected to a suitable handle 16 which extends fromelement 8, the
chain being operable from any remotepoint which may be convenient to reach. Thisreleases any frictional contact 'or binding action and permits the window,-due to its offset pivot 7, to close by gravity, i p H The angle of inclination of element 8 to rod 2 and the tension of spring 12 is suchthat any holding orzbinding action is readily released or overcome only by pull on chain 14. i
If conditions arl'efsuch that closing of the windows'imust' be assisted there is provided a 'compr'ession'spring 17 interposed between the end of rod 2 and the lower pivot pin'18 which e'xt'ends'transve'rsely through pipe 1. By the particular positions of the brackets open position of-the window be adapted to exert ajcl'osing force on the window.
I A further functionally cooperating ar -rangement of parts resides in havingbrackets 3 and 'and therelated elements so disposed that'the pivotpoi'nt of theupper bracket 4 is adapted to move through degrees on each side of the'zwindow pivot 7 and that when the window is in its wide open or hori izontalpo'sition bracket 4 engages a cushioning'spring19 thereby providing a stop for positioning the window at predetermined point. Such a feature is desirable so that all opened windowsmay have thesa'me degreev of 3 ands spring 17 will at all times and for any opening at least in one position and without any conscious effort as to aligning the win dows when opening a series of them.
As is usual in windows of the type herein disclosed chain 14 is adapted not only to pull the windows open but alsoto release a usual snap catch which looks the Window in closed position, the snap being diagrammatically shown as 21. The chain passes upwardly therefrom over a. suitable guide 22 and down so that one pull onthe chain, both releases catch 21 and pulls the window open.
7 While the windows shown have a vertical sash member in the sameplane with a vertical part of the stationary framethereby per- 'mit-ting both brackets 3 and l'to lie in the same planeand. without necessitating any bends in the: members-such as 2 it willcof course be understood that such bends or alterations. may be made to adapt the device for different conditions of use.
However, under any conditions it is seen that the device is. very simple'in operation .and construction, requires very little space,
isrelatively inconspicuous, is free from constituting an obstruction through. the open ;window, and can beinstalled quickly and easily upon any existing window installations of the type such as disclosed.
Various modifications may be made in the construction and arrangement of. parts but which would fall within thescope ofthe apa pended claims. 7
