State of hio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Door and lWindow Structures, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to door and Window structures and has particular relation to the means for anchoring the casing structures in thirapplied position within the building In this connectiomit is the main object oi i my invention to provide an anchor structure in combination with the -metal door or window casing, whereby the same is securely anchored in position and whereby also this anchor is removably held in position within the janib structure after it leaves the fac- I Also, aim to provide an anchor ot' ,this type which may be made to assume an inoperative position such that it does not proiect beyond the casing structure to acili tate its ready shipping and crating. t

rihe advantages and further obk'ec'ts of this invention 'will become more apparent after a further detailed description of the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts, and in which:

Figure l is a sectional perspective taken.

through one ot the side Jframes of a door or window showing my anchor in its applied position, as represented by line 1-1 of Fig'. 2,

Fig'. 2 is a vertical section taken through the structure shown in Fig. l, and,

Fig. 3 is a detail view oi the anchor itsellE shown detached.

in l, the building wall is shown at 'i and the inished plastered surface at 2. lt is in connection with this Wall that the jamb 3 is. applied and by means of my anchoring y structure, this jamb is rigidly held in its applied position. Extending longitudinally on the inside of the side Jfaces i of the j amb and spaced from the front face 5 thereof, are apair of angle rein'orcing members 6 so disposed that their legs 7 present ribs and extend inwardly to decrease Ythe normal sides oi the inside of the j amb. Within the space between the legs 7, the iront Jface 5 of. the

jamb and the two side faces 4 thereof, is lo cated my improved type of anchor desig-v Specicatc'i Letters Patent. "Para, i imiter? Tv we .numana ..J

Serial 'ijz and shown in peispective .in i. anchor comprises cross piece ends 10 are bent right angles as is shown and one corner ont on? to present the inciined to edge l1. To the underside oit. this cross piece, there is securely fastened such oy spot Welding, v*a rearwardly' projecting tongue l2. whose extreme outer end is bent downwardly shown at This tongue designed to be built into one the mortar goints ot which the buiniing 'viali is con structed and the downturned portion eooperates in the Weil known manner. 'in Fig,

a'portion of the iainb cons tion to the removal of the o t of of the jarnb.

The ends it? ci t at such angle 'that they the side legs ci the reinforcing an thus 'the anchors are what temporariiy held in pos, However their nioveir within the amb is perni being limited by the angie cross #piece of the janih Located and top thereof respectively. anchoring member is movable up a within the Ilamb from. its lower en? top and its removal is prevented, outlined. Bui i desirable that the i icct beyond the body this son, i e e each oi the portions 1G, 1 permits this anchorii f nii-intim to a position of nin/ty eww shown in iiull iines in Fig. "i, wherein the. tongue i2 'will not project beyond the rear ico of the fiamb itself and thus be out oi possible interiereinceu Eli/hen it is desired to mount the janib in position, ali that iecessary is 'to again inove the locking i" -1 its operative positionn tot What E claim., is:

l. in a easing ot the class described, the conibination jamb, o' a cri iongitudinally extending' ribs provided on the inside of said jamie, verticaily movable anchor 'for lll@ l i I. said jamb comprising a transversely ex-' ends thereof provided with angularly pro-' j ecting ears, the latter being adapted to be disposed to engage said ribs in order vto retain said tongue in a horizontal position, and said ears being of a lesser width than said cross piece to permit said anchor to be osciilated to a substantially vertical posiion within said jamb irrespectively of its vertical position therein.

2. In a casing of the cia-ss described, the combination with a jamb, of a pair of longitudinally extending` ribs provided upon 'the vinside of said jainb, a vertically movable. anchor formed with a transversely eX- Atending cross piece disposed to the rear of said 'ribs and a forwardly projecting tongue portion, said cross piece terminating in up wardly projecting' reduced extremities lhaving the vertical edges `tl'oereof ada ted to he disposed in engagement with sai ribs to retainl said tongue in a substantially horizontal position, the said extremities being of a 4substantially lesser width than said cross piece to permit oi the oscillation of said anchorl irrespectively of the vertical position of th latter.

In a casing of the class described, the combination with the jamb, of a pairof iongitudinally extending ribs on the inside of said jamb, a vertically movable anchorormed with the cross piece andthe forwardly projecting tongue portion, the ends of said cross piece being located to the rear of said ribs, and upwardly projecting triangular shaped ears carried by said ends and having the altitudinal edges thereof in engagement with said ribs to maintain said inserite tongue in-v a substantially horizontal posiportion, and angularly bent ears providedY upon the ends of said cross piece and disposed for cooperation with said ribs for sustainingsaid tongue portion in a substantially horizontal position, said ears being of relatively lesser Width than Said cross piece to permit said anchor to be folded Within saidljamb at any of a variety of positions in the length of the jamb.

5. In a casing of the class described, the combination with the jamb, of a pair of 1ongitudinally extending ribs provided on the inside of said jamb, said anchor comprising a transversely extending cross piece having the ends thereof situated to the rear of said ribs, and a forwardly projecting tongue portion protruding from said cross piece and adapted for locking engagement with a cooperating wall structure, and means carried bythe inside of said j'amb for limiting the vertical movements of v said anchor therein. l

In testimony whereof I aiix 'my signature in presence of two witnesses.
