. SLIDING WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,955, dated March 1, 1892. Application filed January 29, 1891. Serial No. 379,692. (No model.) Patented in Englandd'anuary 29, 1889 ITO-1,577.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNIE FRANCES MARIA YOULTEN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain,residing at Merton Park, in the county of Surrey, England, have invented certain Improvements in Sliding \Vindows, (for which I have previously obtained Letters Patent'in England dated January 29, 1889, No. 1,577,) of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in sliding windows, and refers to a special arrangement for enabling the sashes to be removed from their vertical position in the sashframe to an inclined position within a room, being conveniently held therein for cleaning and other purposes. This arrangement is applicable to the sliding windowsin ordinary use.

According to my invention the beads which secure the sashesin position are rendered movable by being hinged to the frame in such a manner as to be easily opened and closed. In the latter case the said beads are locked by suitable fastening means hereinafter more particularly described. In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will describe the same with reference to the accompanying sheets of illustrative drawings, in which Figure 1 is an inside elevation-of a windowframe and sliding sashes provided with my improvements and showing the sashes in position for cleaning purposes, Fig. 2 being a central vertical section thereof. Fig. 2 shows in detached view the suspension hook-and pin for the inner sash. Fig. 3 is a central verti- V cal section showing the sashes closed.

A is the window-frame, and B B are the sashes.

O C are the side beads, hinged to the frame at C C for a portion of their lengths, and D D are the parting-beads, also hinged to the frame for a portion of their lengths.

E E are hooks or supports fixed to each side of the frame, and F F are plates secured to the top of the inner face of the stile of the .sash B, said plates being cut out to form catches, which will engage with the hooks E when the window-sash B is brought into the room, as seen in Figs. 1 and 2. The hooks E may be made with oblique slots instead of terminating in hooks.

ate with the pins H in the manner shown in Fig. 2 when said frame is brought into the room. The hinged beads C C are each provided with screwed pins II or other suitable fastening devices, whereby the said beads are firmly locked in their ordinary or normal position. These "pins are formed with square heads, which project beyond the beads and enable them to be turned by the aid of a small key, and when the beads are in their normal or closed position the said pins enter tapped holes K K, formed in small plates fixed to the frame. In order to move the sashes and support them in the inclined position, as shown in Fig. 2, for the purpose of cleaning, repairing, or painting their outer as well as inner surfaces from inside the win-- dow, the pins I are first unlocked by means of aforesaid key, thus releasing the beads, which are now turned back to allow the sash to be pulled inward. The sash B is then raised far enough to permit the plate F to engage the hooks E, and the bottom of the sash is pulled inward and is supported at a suitable angle by means of a bar L, the bent end L of which is fitted in a screw-eye M, fixed to the lower part of the frame or other convenient position. The outer end L of the bar is likewise fitted in a screw-eye N, fixed to the bottom of the sash B or other convenient position. The sash B is then pulled down until the hooks G rest upon the pins H, when the said sash is pulled inward (the hinged parts of the beads D being first turned back to allow the sash to pass them) and supported at a suitable angle by means of a chain 0, connected to the bar L. To place the sashes back again into their normal positions in the frame, the chain 0 is unhooked from the sash B, the said sash pushed back into its sliding grooves, and the bead D turned back into its normal position. The bar L is then out of the screw-eye M and disconnected from the screw-eye N, and the sash B is likewise pushed back into its slidtions. Instead of the plates F and hooks G being fixed to the sashes and the hooks iE and pins H to the frame, the arrangement may be reversed, the slotted plates F and hooks G being fixed to the frame and the hooks E and pins [-1 to the sashes; or I may use as an alternative sliding piusor pivots fixed either to the sash or to the frame, or they may be temporarily applied unattached.

Having thus particularly described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A window frame provided with hinged beads and with sash-suspending hooks and pins located at the upper ends of the sash to permit; the IOWBIHGDQSIO be swung upward, in combination with movable sashes provided at their tops with catch-plates or the like, which co-operate with said suspending hooks and pins twhenzt-he sashes are adjusted to a position inclined to the windomframe, subs antially as set forth.

2. The combination, withthewindow-frame and a pair of sliding Sashes -.suspended by hinging devices located at the upper portions ofthe sash to permit the lower ends to be swung upward, of hinged parting-beads D and hinged beads 0, locked in normal positionby pins 1, enacting with tapped holes K, formed in plates fixed to the window-frame, substantially as set forth.

co-operate with the catch-plates or the like on the movable sashes when the latter are drawn inward, and appliances, substantially as described, for holding the sashes at an angle to the Window-frame,as and for the purpose set forth.

4. The combination, with the window-frame provided with hinged parting-beads and a pair of sliding andhinged sashes, of means for supporting the hinged sashes in a position inclined to the window-frame,consisting ot' screw-eyes M 'N, fixed to the window frame and the bottom of thelinnersash, bent bar L, engaging said eyes to holdone sash in its inclined position, and chaiuiO, engaging said bar and the other sash to hold it :in its inclined position, substantially as set forth.
