Specification of Patent. Application filed Inch 12,1906. Serial Io. 805,518.
Patented June 96, 1906.
To all whom it may concern.-
- Be it known that I, DANIEL W. NORTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vincennes, in the county of Knox and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window'Sash Weights; and I 0 hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enable ot ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to weights more especially designed for use in connection with window-sashes, and has for its object the production of an improved. appliance of this character which may be very inexpensively made and yet be of sufficient strength to resist breakage in handling, in shipping, and in use.
The nature of the invention will bereadil understood, reference being had to the fa lowing detailed description and to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a sash-weight 2 5 embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a crosssectional view on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1
3 5 to make a plastic mass, so i e in a mold and subjected to hydraulic pressure the mass will become pe ectly solid. Obviously other materials may be employed in the manufacture of the welghts; but I prefer 0 for the sake of cheapness to em loy the mgredients' named or t ieir e'quiva ents. It will be understood that the proportions oflthe ingredients may be varied as desired. A weight molded from the materials above named is necessarily more fragile, for example, than a cast-iron weight, and to render my im roved weight strong and durable and not lia le'to fracture I mold with the body of the weight reinforcing bars; rods, or wires, s constructed ,preferably, as shown.
By referrin to the drawings it will be observed that employ a continuous rod or wire, one length 2 of which extends longitudinally through the bodyof the weight and is then bent, as at 3, in the direction of the end of the body, which is preferably tapered, and the exposed portion of said length is bent to form a ring or eye 4 and is then carried back to form the other length 5 of the rod or wire. The lengths of the rod or wire are preferably brought to ether at each end of the body, so as to provi e a ringlor (Eye at each end and for additional strengt y providing a ring or eye at each end of the loop of wire I afford a means whereby the weight may be hung from either end, or a cord may be attached to both ends thereof, and the eye also forms an anchor to assist in holding the loop securely in the weight.
ment of the ingredients above named 1n t e construction'of the weight the weight will weigh somewhat less than the cast-iron article, and in some instances the length of the improved weight will have to be increased in or er to meet the demand. The presence of the wires or rods embedded in the improved weight will, however, sufficiently reinforce the same re ardless of the length employed, and even t ough the bod of the weight should become fractured t 0 parts will be. held together b the connecting rods or wires.
A further a vantage of this invention is that the rods or wires may be employed to form the rings or eyes instead of casting the latter of the material of the body 0 the weight, as heretofore practiced.
I claim- 1. Aweight for window-sashes and the like, I comprising a body and a wire bar or rod, formed into a loop, said loop being provided with an eye or ring at each end, said loop being embedded in the body with the eyes or rings exposed. A
2. Aweight for window-sashes and the like, comprising a body and a wire, bar, or fod, formed into a loop the sides of which are separated and at the central portion of the loop extend substantially parallel to each other,
ends, eyes or rings ormed in the loo at the ends, said loo being embedded in the body portion with t e e 'es or rings exposed.
In testimony w ereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
' DANIEL W. NORTON.
