1 Claim.
This invention relates to storm sash for casement windows, and mlore especially it relates to improved connections between a storm sash and an outwardly opening easement window enabling the same to operate in unison, and providing a lock for the storm sash.
The chief object of the invention is to provide a simple and eicient means for connecting a easement window and a storm sash to enable the same to operate in unison; to provide a connection of the character mentioned that has longitudinal adjustability to adapt it to diierent installations; and to provide a connection of the character mentioned that will not permit rattling of the window or storm sash. Other objects will be manifest as the description proceeds.
Of the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a horizontal section through a easement window and a storm` sash connected thereto, the same being shown in closed position in full lines and in partly open position in broken lines;
Figure 2 is a View similar to Fig. 1 showing the sashes in fully open position;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section through one of the connectors that secure the storm sash to the easement sash; and
Figure 4 is a horizontal section through another embodiment of the invention.
Referring to the dnawing, I0 is a window generally, and II is an outwardly opening casement sash constituting a part thereof, said casement sash being mounted upon upper and lower hinge pins, such as the hinge pin I2, which pins are slidably mounted in respective slotted metal guide members I3 attached to the framework I4 in which the easement sash normally seats. An armi I5 is pivotally connected to the sash II and framework I4 to cause sliding movement of the hinge pins I2 in guides I3 as the easement sash is being opened.
Mounted beside the window I0, on the side thereof that is exposed to the weather, is a storm. window generally designated I8, said storm window comprising a hinged, outwardly opening section or sash I9, the hinge 20 of which is at the same side of the sash as are the hinge pins I2 of easement sash I I. The sash I9 normally seats in an opening in the framework 2| of the storm window I8, which opening is somewhat larger than the easement sash II so that the latter may swing therethrough. The margins of the said opening and of the storm sash I9 may be formed with complemental tongues and grooves as shown to eiect a weather-tight seal when the storm window is closed.
'I'he storm sash I9 is connected to the casement sash II by one or more connecting links 23, which links lare pivotally connected at their opposite ends to the respective sashes. The said pivotal connections comprise hinge pins 24, 24 that are secured to storm sash and easement sash in parallel relation to the hinges I2, 20 thereof. Referring particularly to Fig. 3, it will be seen that'l the connecting link 23 comprises an interiorly threaded tubular member 25 and Ian eXteriorly threaded tubular member 26 telescoped therewith, said members having threaded engagement with each other so as to enable the connector as a whole to be lengthened or shortened. A portion of each tubular member 25 and 26 projects beyond the end of the other tubular member, and each of said projecting portions is diametrically apertured at 2l to receive a hinge pin 24. Mounted interiorly of the tubular member 26 is a pair of cylindrical plugs or block-s 28, 28 of wood, fibre, or similar material, and positioned between said plugs is a coiled compression spring 29 that urges said plugs away from each other and into engagement with the hinge pins 24 that extend through the outer end portions of said tubular members. The arrangement is such that the hinge pins 24 are urged strongly against the sides of respective apertures 21 with the result that no rattle is produced when Casement sash and storm sash are swung outwardly and exposed to the action of the wind.
The invention makes it possible to use storm sash with outwardly opening easement windows, and the opening of the easement window is accomplished without effort since the storm sash is so connected thereto as to operate in unison therewith. The improved connecting device is of relatively simple construction and inexpensive. It is easily and quickly attached, or detached, from the easement and storm.` sash, and prevents rattling of the sashes when they are open and wind is blowing.
The invention also makes it possible to secure substantially draftless ventilation, such as is desirable in sleeping rooms in the night season. This is accomplished by opening the casement and storm sash to the extent shown in broken lines in Fig. 1. When so arranged the easement sash II is disposed in the space between the window IU and storm window I8, the storm sash I9 being swung outwardly from the latter. Thus air blowing through the opening left by the partly open storm sash mpinges upon the easement sash, and can only enter the sleeping room by passing around the margins of the easement sash, by which time its velocity is substantially reduced.
The embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing is essentially the same as that previously described except that the easement sash, designated 3l, is pivotally supported upon xed hinges 32. The arrangement does not provide the facility for cleaning the storm sash as does the embodiment previously described, and the sashes cannot be opened quite as far. equal merit.
Other modification may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention Otherwise the two constructions are of o or the scope thereof as dened by the appended claim.
What is claimed is:
A connector for joining the free edge of a easement sash to a storm sash, said connector comprising a pair of tubular elements threaded together in telescoping relation to each other, each of said elements having an end portion projecting beyond the end of the other element and formed with diametrically opposed apertures for receiving a pivot pin on one of said sashes, a pair of non-metallic plugs in the innermost tubular structure, and a compression spring p0- sitioned between said plugs and urging them outwardly against the respective pivot pins that extend through said tubular elements.
