GEORGE T. POLSON, OF BECKVILLE, TEXAS.
WINDOW-SASH.
947,719. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Jan. 25, 1910.
Application filed April 27, 1909. Serial No. 492,498.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE T. POLSON, a{
citizen of the United States, residing at
Beckville, in the county of Panola, State of
5 Texas, have invented certain new and useful
Improvements in Window-Sashes; and I do
hereby declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention,
such as will enable others skilled in the art
10 to which it appertains to make and use the
same.
The invention relates to a window sash
and more particularly to that class of win-
dow sashes having mounted therein glass
15 panels or panes without the use of putty.
The primary object of the invention is the
provision of a. window sash in which the use
of putty is dispensed with for the secure
mounting of glass panels or panes within the
20 sash and at the same time to make the latter
in a manner to permit the ready and quick
removal of the glass panel or pane from the
same in event it should become cracked or
broken so that a new panel or pane can be
25 replaced in its. stead within the sash by an
inexperienced person not familiar with the
mounting of glass panels and panes in win-
dow sashes.
Another object of the invention is the pro-
30 vision of a window sash in which a glass
panel or pane is mounted therein without the
use of putty and points for the proper secur-
ing thereof within the sash and that will en-
able the ready and easy tightening of the
35 said glass panel or pane should the same be-
come loose within the window sash.
A further object of the invention is the
provision of a. window sash of this character
which is simple in construction, readily and
40 easily assembled, thoroughly reliable in its
function, and inexpensive in the manufac-
ture.
With these and other objects in view, the
invention consists in the novel construction,
45 combination and arrangement of parts as
will be hereinafter. more fully described,
illustrated in the accompanying drawings,
which disclose the preferred form of em-
bodiment of the invention, and as brought
50 out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawings :-Figure1 is a side ele-
vation of a window sash constructed in ac-
cordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a
longitudinal sectional view on the line 2--2of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side ele- 65
nation with the glass panel supporting strips
and the wedge strips detached. Fig. 4 is a.
detail perspective view of one of the wedge
strips. Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line
5-5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a sectional view on 60
the line 6-6 of Fig. 1.
- Similar reference characters indicate cor-
responding parts throughout the several
views in the drawings.
In the drawings, there is shown a window 65
sash comprising stiles 8 and 9, the latter
connected to a bottom rail 10, and a top
meeting rail 11, the extremities of the said
stiles being tenoned and secured to the bot-
tom and meeting rails in the usual or ordi- 70
nary manner. Contained in the stile 8, and
the top meeting rail 11, of the window sash
at their inner edges are centrally located
channels or grooves 12, to form a bed for the
edges of a glass panel or pane 13. 75
The inner edges of the bottom rail and the
stile 9, are provided with beveled faces 14,
upon which are shiftably mounted wedge
strips 1, which latter act upon supporting
strips 16 interposed between the remaining 80
edges of the glass panel or pane 13, and the
said wedge strip 15, and these supporting
strips 16 are provided with centrally located
channels or grooves 17, to allow bed for the
edges of the glass pane or panel to rest upon 85
in the usual manner.
Contained in the wedge strips 15, are
transversely arranged elongated slots 18,
through which freely pass fasteners 19, the
same being adapted to secure the supporting 90
strips 16, upon the window sash after they
have been properly adjusted by the wedge
strips to firmly hold the glass panel or pane
within the said window sash.
It is obvious that by the mounting of the 95
displaceable supporting strips 16, in the win-
dow sash it will enable the quick and easy
placing of the glass panel or pane in position
in the said sash and also will permit its re-
moval therefrom so that a new pane or panel 100
can be placed in its stead in the event of the
cracking or breaking thereof. Furthermore
clue to the. wedge strips the said glass panel
or pane may be readily or easily tightened
when mounted in the window sash should it 105
become loose upon the warping of the win-
dow sash due to exposure to various climatic
changes in the weather.
