Application filed July 17,1906. Serial No. 326,533.

Be it known that we, J OHN T. GLAZIER and CoLUMBUs C. PARKER, citizens of the United States, residing at Indiana olis, in thecounty of Marion and State of ndiana, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Window-Ventilators, of which the following is a s ecification.

The object this invention is to provide a ventilator attachment for the Windows of railway cars, residences and other buildings whereby the current of air passing therethrough can be regulated.

Another object of the invention is to provide partitions for separating the-airpas'sage through the ventilator into compartments to compel the air current to take a circuitous course through the device and to so shape the partitions as to remove dust and other foreign substances from theair before itis admitted into the room.

A further object of the invention is to provide a Water pan at'the bottom of the air chamber and to provide conduits or ways in the partitions to conduct the dust and foreign particles into the Water.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lower part of a window viewed from the outside, with the ventilator in place.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the improved ventilator showing parts of the latter broken away to illustrate the inside construction.

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section on the line 33 oi Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line 44 of Fig. 3. 4

Like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views of the d aw ngl 5 isthe window easing-and (3 thc' wind'ow sash, both of usual construction The sash is shown as partly raised to provide a space in which this improved ventilating device is placed. .The ventilator comprises :1 rectangular box or case 7 with longitudinal slots '8 in two opposite vertical sides of the box.

These slots or openings are protected by the.

hoods 9. 'lransvcrsc partitions 10 10 set off "a middle compartment which the air current side of the uilding. Slideways are formed in the ends of the bOX7 out side of the partitions 10 to receive the endsof the sections 12 which are longitudinally adjustable in the slideways above mentioned, for-.the piur h o t e which the ventilator is to be used. A flange 14 extends along the innecsideiof,the lpper face of the ventilator to. make a better joint against the sash 6 which will be lowered upon the ventilator in close contact. with said flange. v i

I Referring to Fig. 3, 16 is a water pan at the bottom of the air chamber, and 17. and 18 are partitions for dividing the box into compartments. The partition 17 preferably terminates in the water of the pan 16 so as to form a sealto prevent the passage of air under this partition, butterminates sutlicientlv below the top of the box 7 to leavean air passage from one side "of the partition 17 to the other. The'partition -18 makes a close fit against the top ofbox .7 but does not extend to the bottom ofthe boxand the. space 'thus left at the bottoinioriiis a passageway for air under said partition. l he .partitions .17 and 18 are formed outof corrugated'sheet metal, the corrugations extending-from the side edges of the partitions in an oblique upward direction to the vertical midline of the plate, as shown in Fig. d and the. partitions are set at an oblique angle, as shown in Fig. 3. The'result of this, constructionis that air commg in from the outside of'ihe buildingand doadedwith (lust and oth er impurities will beat against the corrugations on the oblique under-sides ottlieplates causing nucl oi the passes from the outside to theinose foreign matter to be removed, and this dust srancli other substancesil alli-ng ipo i the corrugations of 'tiheupper sides olbtl e partitions will be carried to the edges ol the plates and thus removed from their ini'ddlesiivherc the largest volume of. the ziir passes. This is particularlv true; of the plate 18; In this, as shown in Fig. 4t, the aiitpassageis largest at the 'middle of the plate andlinostofthe dust will be directed by the corrugatioiis to the air pasisi ng under the plate.

partly or wholly close the inlet to the box. An operating bar 24 is attached to the damper 21 and extends through the box into the room into convenient reach for adjustment. lt-l'will preferably have the notches 25 for holding any given adjustment.
