The drawings" show but one side of the win- 'dowi The other. side will be of the same construction 'asxthat side illustrated. The drawings show but one side of each of the sashes, but

the other side of each sash would be similar to 0 is a pair of slides. Each slide of a pair is of kc construction. Each slide is formed of two portions of different widths. The portion of greatest width of a slide is of less length than the other portion and arranged at one end of the slide. The slides for the lower sash are oppositely disposed with respect to the slides of the upper sash. The portions of greatest width-of the slides for the upper sash are arranged at the upper terminal parts thereof and are formed by laterally &- setting the slides outwardly as hereinafter referred to and indicated. The portions of greatest width of the slides for the lower sash are arranged at the upper terminal parts thereof and are formed by laterally off-setting the lower slides outwardly as hereinafter referred to and indicated. The drawings show but one slide of each pair.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the window-sill, 2 the top frame member, 3 aside frame member, 4 the stationary section of a jamb structure 5, 6 the slidable section .of the latter, '7 the lower sash, 8 the upper sash, 9 a vertically movable sustaining weight within structure-5, l0 and 11 a .pair' of spaced guide strips which extend from member 2 to sill 1 and are secured to-member 3,

12 one of the slides of the upper pair of slides, 13 one of the slides of the lower pair of slides, and 14 a flexible sustaining member, such as a sash cord or chain which is common to. the slides 12, 13 andcoacts with the sustaining weight 9.

The frame member 3 is-formed lengthwiseoi itsinner face with a groove 15 conforming in contour to. the shape of jamb section 4. The latter isarranged in groove 15 and secured to member 3 byholdfast devices 16. The section 4 is formed with a pair of oppositely inclined parts 17, 18 merging into each other at their inner sides and also merge at their outer sides into a pair of spaced parallel straight parts 19, 20 respective,-

ly which terminate into a pair of spaced parallel channel- shaped parts 21, 22 respectively ar ranged within section 4 and opposing the inner faces of the parts 19, 20 respectively. The parts 19, 20, 21 and 22 of section 4 are flush with the grooved face of member 3.

The slidable jamb section 6 includes a pair of oppositely inclined parts 22', 23 which are oppositelydisposed with respect to the, parts 1'7, 18 of the section 4. The parts 22, 23 at their outer sides merge into a pair of spaced parallel straight parts 24, 25 which slidably extend into the channel- shaped parts 21, 22 respectively of the section 4. The section 6 extends outwardly from the section 4 and the parts 22', 23 thereof at its inner sides merge-into an extension 26 which constitutes a parting bead. The parting bead 26 is common to the slides 12, 13 and also common to the major portion of the length of one side of the'upper and lower sashes. The extension 26 includes a front 27 and a pair of sides 28, 29. The side 28 extends from part 22' and the side 29 from part 23. Theupper portion of side 28 is of channel-shaped contour as at 30 and opens outwardly at right angles to side 29. The lower portion of side 28 is straight and disposed outwardly at right angles to part 22. The

lower portion of side 29 is of channel-shaped contour, as at 31 and opens outwardly at right anglesto side 28. The upper portion of side 29 is straight and disposed outwardly at right angles to part 23. Secured to the inner face of the parts 22', 23 at the upper portions thereof is the closed frontof a vertically disposed stationary channelshaped element 32 which extends from the top portion of bar 43 is offset laterally as at 50.

and terminates at the lower end of the channelshaped portion 30. The element 32 is open at its top, bottom and rear. Supported by and arranged at the upper end of element 32 is a pulley 33 whichextends into the channel-shaped portion 30. Supported by and arranged at the lower end of element 32 is a pulley 34 which extends into the channel-shaped portions 30. The channel-shaped portions 30, 31 are oppositely disposed and provide a pair of guide channels, one for that portion 14 of the sustaining member 14 which associates with the upper sash 8 and the other for that portion 14" of the sustaining member 14 which associates with the lower sash '7. The portions 14', 14" of the member 14 pass over the tops of the pulleys 33, 34 respectively. The pulley 33 is of greater diameter than pulley 34. The

sustaining'weight 9 carries a pulley 35 around the bottom of which passes the member 14.

The sustaining weight 9 straddles the element 32 during the elevating and lowering movement thereof. The jamb structure 5 is formed with openings 36, 3'? respectively for the passage of the pulleys 33, 34.

The section 6 of the jamb structure 5 is spring 1 controlled by a pair of adjustable members 38, 39 carrying coiled springs 40 which abut the inner face of said section. The members 38 and 39 are arranged respectively within the upper and lower ends of and extend through the sec- 1 tion 6 of jamb structure 5. The top frame 2 is formed with a mortise 41 into which extends the upper end of jamb structure 5. The mortise 41 provides a clearance for the outerend of member 38. The lower end of jamb structure 5 is mount- 1 ed upon a plate 42 countersunk in sill 1.

The upper slides 12 are of like construction and oppositely disposed and each includes an oblong bar. 43 having its outer face conforming in shape to part 22' of jamb structure section 6. The front 1 face of bar 43 conforms in contour to the outer face of a side 44 of sash 8. The rear face of bar 43 is rabbeted as at 45 and mortised in its top edge as at 46. The upper end of rabbet 45 opens into-mortise 46. The front face of the 1 side 44 of sash 8 is rabbeted as at 47 and which registers with rabbet 45. The top edge of sash 8 is mortised as at 48 into which opens the rabbet 4'7. The mortise 48 normally aligns with the mortise 46. The bottoms of the mortises 46, 48 1 extend inwardly and incline downwardly from the front faces of the sash and bar. The manner in which the bottoms of the mortises are set up is as indicated at.49, Figure 8. The upper end 1 The width of bar 43 from the lower end of the offset 50 to the lower end of the bar is less than the width of parting head 26. That part of bar 43. which is laterally offset is greater than the width of bead 26. The width of the top portion of sash 8 is reduced to provide shoulders 51, only one shown and which is overlapped by the lower end of offset 50. The height of bar 43 corresponds to that of the sash 8. The front face of sash 8 is grooved as at 52 and which forms a downward continuation of rabbet 47. The reducing of the width of the upper portion of the sash 8 provides for the sash to clear the parting head 26. That part of the sash 8 below its upper portion of reduced width slides against the parting head 26 when the upper slides are vertically shifted with the sash 8 in non-adjusted position.

Arranged in rabbets 45 and groove 52 is a pivoted latching member 53 having a hooked shaped upper end 54 for overlapping the bottoms i of the mortises 46, 48. for latching thesash 8 to the slide 12 to prevent it from pivoting with respect to the'latter until the member 53' is swung clear? of themortises 46; 48. Fixedly secured to the sash 8 and mounted in the portion of bar43" one shown, areattached: to the sustaining mem bers 14,. only one shown, and with respect tothe bar-4:3 of each upper slide the outer end of, portionli of amember' 1e istanchored', as at-56 to said bar 43. The portion 14' extendsinto'a curved groove 57 formed in the front of the wide portion of. the bar e3. The groove 57 opens into a pocket 57' in bar 43 and within the, lower part of the wide portion of the pocket is arranged, the anchoring means 56. i l l For the purpose of maintainingthesash 8 at various angles with respect to theslid'es 12, the

outward swing of sash 8 on its pivots. qThe stops top frame member 2,- is. provided with a recess 58in its bottom face.- Arranged in recess 58 is a keeper 59-. capable of beingengaged by the member 53 to hold the sash8 at various angles with respect to the slides, the positionydepending upon the position of the slides. See dotted line showing, Figure 10, illustrating the coacting of member 53 with respect to keeper 59 forjholding sash 8; at the desiredangular position. Carried I by guidestrip l0 is-astop 60 of any suitable form andwhichfactsto prevent thepivoting of sash 8 on its slides whenever the bottom rail 61 of sash 8 is below the stop. Thestops 60 on guide strips 10 are arranged in the path of movement of the 60,; maybe locatedat any point desired on strips 10. The manner of mounting the sash 8 upon the slides therefor permit of sash 8 being adjusted to various angular positions with respect to the slides and further permit of it being turned to inside-out position as shown in Figure 10. v

The slides 13'of the lowerg'pair of slides are of like construction and oppositelydisposed. Each includes an oblong bar 61 having its lowerportion formed with a lateral onset 62. The width of bar 61 from the upper end of the lateral offset 62! to the upper end of the bar is less than the width of the parting bead-26. That part of the bar 61 which is laterallyoffset is greater than the width of'parting head 26. i The width of the lower portion of the lower sash 7 is reduced to provide its sides with shoulders 63 only one shown. The upper end of offset 62 opposes 'a shoulder 63. The reducing of the width of the lower portion of sash 7 further, providesfor the sash to clear the partingbead 26. That part of the sash 7 above its lower portion of reduced width slides against the parting head when the lower slides are vertically shifted with the sash 7 in non-adjusted position. A pivot-member 64 is secured to and projects from each side of sash 7 of the portion of reduced width of thelatter. Each member 6% is mounted in the upper portion of am 61 and provides for pivotally suspending the sash 7 with respect'to the slides thereof.

imityto its lower end is formed with apocket 65 and leading thereto isa curved groove 66 arranged at the lower corner of the front face of from engagement with bar 61.

the wide portion of bar 61. The portion 14" of member 14 passes through groove 66;. extends into pocket 65 and is anchored to. barlfil, as at 67;

The' sash 7uis latched to slide 13, by a" spring controlledtlatching means 68qand cannot swing relative to theslide until the means 68 is moved ,The construction and arrangement of the slides 13 and sash 7 with'respect to'each other permit of thesashbeing angularly disposed with respect to the slides, and further permit of the sash 7 being turned inside-out asq ehown in Figure 10.

Thestrips 10 and 11 in connection with the extension 26 of the jamb structure provide each side frame member 31with a pair of guide grooves or channels 69,70, the former for the slides 12*a'nd the latter for the. slides 13. v

Each sideframe member 3 is; formed of a pair of like oppositely disposed sectionsrabbetedon their inner side faces. The rabbeted portions of said sections register andprovide the groove 15. The sections of member 3 are indicated at 3", 3" Figures 5 and-17.- The section3 has its non--rabbeted side face formed with a lengthwise.

groove 3" for the reception of plaster to-pro-,-

vide a seal between the side of the frame and I the building or in other words to provide amoisture and windproof joint.

The iower'slide 13 has an opening orsocket 13, see Figure 15, to receive the latching means 68., The guide strip 11 is formed with an openinggorsocket 18; see Figure 10, to receive'thc latching means 68 for the purpose of latching the sash 7 at an angle with respect to theglower slide .13 inamanner as shown in Figure 15. 7. The stop 69 will function to retain the upper saslrl at various angular positions with respect to the upper slide, because when the upper sash is free'of connection with the top 2 ofthe frame L" and extended outwardly it will seat against stop 60 and in this connection see Figure 15. 2 When the upper sash 8 is extended at'an angle with respect to the upperslidesand at the same time coupled and suspended from theframe by the members 53, it cannot be swung downwardly on its pivots or the upper frameymoved down- .wardly when-a'downwardpressure is applied to the outer end of the sash. If pressure is applied 7' to said outer end, a-binding action will be had between the upper slide and the shiftable jamb sectionsand abinding action will be set up be,- tween the shiftable and stationary jamb sections.

In this connection it will be stated that down ward pressure applied to; the vouter end of the sash will in connection with the members 53 force theupper slides against the shiftable jambfsections whereby the rearportions of :the latterwill be caused to move inwardlyinto and bind" against the rear portions of the stationary jamb sections.

,ered by pressure upon the innerend of the sash.

To cause the engagement of member- 53 with 7 element 58, the upper. sash is slightly lowered,

swinging slightly outwardly causing member 53 to be, released from the upper: slide. The :upper sash is then moved vertically and'as member 53 -is carried by thesash Sit is also elevated so' its upper end will ride against the curved surface -53 Figure 16, and bedirected ntoengage over element 58 whereby the upper sash is detachably suspended from the top of the frame. The members 53when coupled to the frame will be in the upward path of travel of theupper outer corners of the upper slide. It will be assumed that the upper sash and members 53 are in the dotted line position, Figure 10, or full line position, Figure 16,now if the upper slide is moved upwardly the upper outer corners thereof will kick out members 53 and the hook ends of the latter will engage in the mortises 46, 48 whereby the upper slide and upper sash are latched together.

The stationary section 4 of a jamb structure is formed at each end with a pair of oppositely inclined bendable extensions 4, 4" extending from the portions 17, 18 respectively thereof. The extensions project from the upper and lower ends of the sections of the side frame member 3. Each pair of extensions are overlapped and secured together in a manner as shown in Figure 18. The upper pair of extensions are secured to the-lower face of sill 1 and the lower pair to the upper face of'top 2.

The purpose of the extensions on the stationary jamb sections attached to the head and sill members of the frame is to prevent the frame from pulling apart at the corners where the stationary side jambs are nailed to the head and sill.. The action of the spring controlled jambs and the wedging action of the upper sash when projected cause a horizontal expansive pressure between the two stationary jamb sections, said jambs depending on the extensions which are attached to the top and bottom of the frame to receive suflicient strength to withstand the horizontal thrust set up by the wedging action of the upper sash, when said upper sash is held in any angular position by the binding action of the shiftable jambs wedged against said stationary jambs;

Figure 12 shows a modified arrangement of pivot means for the sashes and it is illustrated solely in connection with a lower sash, but it is to be understood that the pivot means to be presently referred to is also applicable to the upper sash. The pivot means consists of a hinge formed of two sections 71, 72 and a pintle or pivot '73 between said sections. The section 71 is fixed to the offset 62 of slide 13 and overlaps the sash 7. The section 72 is fixed to the sash I and overlaps the slide above oifset 62. The width of the sections '71, 72 are such as to constitute weather-stripping means at the lower porwhen the upper sash is closed.

With referenceto Figure 13, it shows the upper sash 8 of a form corresponding to the lower sash and provided with a latching means 75 of the same form as the latching means 68. If the means '75 is employed for the upper sash, then guide strip 11' will be provided with an opening not shown, to receive the said means 75 to maintain the'upper sash at an inclination as shown with respect to the lower sash, Figure 15, but with the upper sash extending outwardly at an inclination from top to rear.

Figure 14 shows the shiftable jamb section 6 as provided with a roller bearing means '76 riding upon plate 42.

The lower face of the top 2 of the'frame is provided with retaining strips '77 for the sashes when moved to the upper end of the window open- 'Weather-strippings are provided to be engaged by the sashes, which are indicated at 78, 79. A weather-strip is carried by the top rail of the upper sash for interposition between such rail and the lower rail of the upper sash.
