WILLIAM R. CRUMP, OF COLLINSVILLE, TEXAS.
WINDOW-SASH.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 6, 1910.
Application filed May 31, 1910. Serial No. 564,247.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAVI R. C imip, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Collinsville, in the county of Grayson, Statc
of 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 to which it appertains to make
and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in
window sashes, more particularly to devices
of this character in which the window glass
is secured in the sash without the use of
putty and similar fastening devices, and has
for one of its objects to simplify and im-
prove the construction and increase the effi-
ciency and utility of devices of this char-
acter.
Another object of the invention is to pro-
vide a device of this character which may be
applied without structural changes to sashes
of various sizes and to sashes containing
any required number of panes of glass.
With these and other objects in view, the
invention consists in certain novel features
of construction as hereinafter shown and
described and then specifically pointed out
in the claims; and, in the drawings illus-
trative of the preferred embodiment of the
invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of
the device with the sash constructed in ac-
cordance with the improved device, Fig. 2 is
a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 with the
sash in open position, Fig. 3 is a sectional
detail illustrating the arrangement with the
sash in open position or arranged to permit
the insertion or removal of the panes of
glass, and showing the panes of glass partly
removed.
The improved device is formed in two
sections, preferably divided longitudinally,
the sections being represented as a whole
respectively at 10-11. Each of the sash
sections is formed with outer side members
and end members of the usual form and
with inner side members represented at
12-13 and united preferably by hinges 14
at one side2 and with hooks or other suit-
able fastening devices 16 at the opposite
side. By this arrangement the sash mem- lbers may be maintained in open position, as
shown in Fig. 1 and occupy the same rela-
tive position as an ordinary sash, and pre- 55
sents the same appearance as an ordinary
two-pane sash.
The outer end members of the sash sec-
tions 10-11 are provided with glass receiv-
ing channels, while the inner members 60
12-13 are provided with glass receiving
slots indicated at 17-18, the slots extend-
ing entirely through the members 12-13 so
that when the sash sections are arranged in
open position as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the 65
slots 17-18 are continuous, as shown in
Fig. 2. By this arrangement it will be ob-
vious that when the sash sections 10-11
are swung upon their hinges 14 into the po-
sition indicated in Fig. 3 the slots 17-18 are 70
exposed so that the panes of glass, repre-
sented respectively at 19-20, may be insert-
ed into the channels in the slots, and then
when the sash sections are arranged in aline-
ment as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the 75
hooks 16 connected, the panes of glass will
be held in position and prevented from re-
moval, and require no. further securing
means, care being taken that the panes of
glass are so cut that their confronting edges 80
will be located in relatively close engage-
ment, to prevent rattling or looseness.
If preferred the members 12-13 may be
formed with a tongue and groove joint rep-
resented at 21, to render the joint between 85
the sash sections air-tight, and likewise to
increase the strength and relieve the hinges
and hooks largely from strain.
What is claimed is
1. A window sash formed in two sections 90
having glass receiving channels in their
members and arranged edge to edge, the
channels of the confronting members of the
sash sections being extended entirely
through the same to permit the glass to en- 95
gage edge to edge, hinges uniting the con-
fronting members of the sash sections at
one side, and fastening means uniting said
confronting members at the opposite sides.
2. A window sash formed in two sections 100
having glass receiving channels in their
members and arranged edge to edge, the
channels of the confronting members of the
sash sections being extended entirely through9 77,712.
