To all whom it may concern:

.Be it known that I, ROBERT E. HULsE, a citizen of the United States, residing at all Lake, in the county of Sac and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Parting and eather Strips for Sliding Sashes, of which tion may be applied in its stead for providin not onl a artin stri between the e 13 P c: P

sashes but a so a weather strip therebetween for overcoming the usual rattle in the sashes, and for also preventing the passage of air between the window frame and the sash.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this ap plication, like numerals of reference. inclicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a plan view of a sliding sash frame, portions of the same being broken away for disclosing more clearly my improved stops applied thereto. a

Figure 2 is a transverse cross sectional view upon the line 22 of- Figure 1.

Figures 3 and 4: are vertical cross sectional views upon the lines 33 and an respectively, of Figure l.

Figure 5 is a cross sectional view of a modified form of my invention, the weather strip being shown as applied in position to contact with the upper end ofa door when the same is closed. Figures 6 and 7 are enlarged'fragmentary perspective views of the weather strips ap-- plied to the sash frames and positioned between the sliding sashes, respectively.

In the practical application of my combined parting and weather strips to a win.-

dow frame A provided with the usual upper and lower sliding sashes Band C respec tively, the usual parting strips at both sides portions 4, the leg or'feet portions extendof the frame and between thesesashes are dispensed with and there r are provided in lieu thereof'strips constructed in accordance l with myinvention and designated intheir entirety by' the numeral 1, the combined. parting and weather-strips on the opposite sides of the frame are identical in construe; tion, and therefore a description of one will suffice for both, 1 These stripsare substantially T-shaped, and may be and preferably are formed from a single length of sheet metal.

The strip comprises a head 2, central Web 3, and oppositely extending sheet or leg ing parallel with the head 2. feet 4: are suitably perforated as at 5 for receiving securing taclts 6,whereby the strip is advantageously mounted upon the sides of the window frame and between the sashes B and C. Between each of the legs 4, and adjacent s-ideof the head 2, there is posi-- tioned strips of wadding 7 these strips being securely retained between the legs and head by fasteners 8, in the form ofcross bolts embedded in the strips of wadding and ex- The legs or i tending through perforations in the web 3 of the metal strip 1, and being provided .in one of the strips of the wadding 8 as more clearly shown in Figure 7, With a screw nut 8; The upper sash B adjacent its top edge, and the lower sash C adjacent its bottom ed e, are each provided with a longitudi- -n 1y extending strip of metal 9, of-substantially Z-shape and one leg of the" strip, as 9, has spaced perforations 10 and adapted for close contact with the sash frame to be secured thereto by nails, tacks or the like 10. Between the other leg 9" ofithemetal' strip 9, and the surface of the sash fram'e, there is wedged a strip *of wadding 11. It

is to be understood that the edge of the wadding 11 projects beyond the ed eof the leg 9 so as to haveclose contact with the lintel and "sill of the window, framefA, as, shown in Figures 3 and 4;

In the modification shown infFigure 5, a. p

door frame 'D has secured upon upper longiiocif t-udinal side thereof and adjacent the edge of: the usual shoulder 65 3 ametallic strip,

formed from a single length of: sheetmetalr:

and comprising a bottom; wall l2, and in l 1 wardly extending, right. angularly' bent flanges 13 and 14;, the flange 14 having an additionalfiange 15 formed thereon for contact with the door frame I) whereby the metal strip may be secured thereto by nails,

t tacks or the like.

- the adjacent edge of a door E when the same is closed. This strip of wadding may be retained in position by fasteners 17, which serve also as a means for securing the metal I strip to the door frame. p

In view of the above description, it is believed by me that the advantages and operation of an article constructed and applied as shown will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art, and while I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor metal strip adapted to be disposed upon sides of a window frame, and between the upper and lower sliding sashes therein, the said metal strips being of substantially T- shape including a head and central web portion, the web portion having oppositely extending legs thereon extending parallel withthe head of the strip, a strip of wadding be:

tween each legend the adjacent side of the head, and means for retaining the said strips therebetween.

'In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
