WlNDOW-.SASH.

SPECIFIUATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 451,596, dated May 5, 1891.

Application filed June 23, 1890. Serial No. 356,396. (No model.)

To aZZ wlwm it may ooncern:

Be it known that I, THnoDoRE F. LONGE- NECKER, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvem ents in NV in- (low-Sashes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to the construction of sash, especially glazed sash for hot-beds, but may be used for other sash.

The object of the invention is to improve the Construction of sash, to strengthen the Corners and joints, and especially to exclude moisture from said joints.

Fi'gure l is a broken plan 'of ahot-bed sash with my improvement applied. Fig. 2 is a broken perspective view of part of the same. Fg. 3 is a perspective of corner-plate. Fig. 4. is a perspective of mullion-socket.

A indicates the side bars, and B the end bars, of the sash,

C indicates a mullion or transombar of the sash.

The mullion or transom bars have the rabbets D, leaving the usual tongue or flange E, against which putty is spread to hold the glass in the rabbet D. The side bars have rabbets D' and tongues or fianges E' of similar Character to those on the mullions. These tongues may be integral with the bars or attached to them. The side and end bars are mortised, dovetailed, or otherwise secured together at the Corners in any usual way.

The Corners are strengthened by plates F, which extend over the face of the bars and have turned-down flanges G inside the sash.

'These flanges G extend at a right angle along the bars, as shown. The plate lies on top of the sash-bars and the fianges extend along the inner side thereof. The plate and langes are secured to the bars by screws or rivets passing through holes H H.

The tongue or rib E' is cut away, so that the plate may lie fiush with the general surface of the frame and with the bottom of the rabbet D'. The top plate hasarib I, which forms a continuation of the inner edge of tongue E'. Thus the tongue E' and the rib I form what is called the putty-fiange of the sash, in-

side of which the glass is placed and secured by putty applied in the corner of the rabbet, as usual in glazing sash.

The mullion-socket K is attached to an angular plate L, which is secured to the end bar of the sash by screws passing through holes HZ. The m ullion enters this socket and is secured by sorews or rivets passing through holes H'. The upper face of the socket has ribs I', forming continuations of the edges of tongue. Thus the glass in rabbet D and the putty which retains the same lie against these ribs I' in the same manner as has been explained for the side fianges I.

It will be apparent that 'the two puttyfianges I' I' on the mullion-socket may be made integral.

The corner-plates and sockets maybe light oastings, or may be st-ruck up from thin plate metal. The screw-holes will be bored at convenient distances for securing the plates or sockets to the frame.

By this construction, as will be seen, a very strong sash may be made without dovetails or mortises, although such may be employed, if desirable. The top of the pla-te or socket covers the joint and excludes water. Experience has shown that sash, especially hot-bed sash, first begin to decay at the joints. This objection is entirely overcome by the use of the sockets and plates above described. The putty-bar on top of the plate or socket enables the glass to be carried on top of the casting and secured there by the putty. This prevents the water from finding access to the joint past the end orside of the metallic plate or socket. The plate or socket may be sunk into the bars of the sash, so as not to protrude above the surface thereof. The mullion is preferably tenoned to enter the socket, the body of the mullion being of the same size as the outside of the socket.

What I claim is- 1. In a sash, the combination, with the Wooden sash-bar having an upwardly-extending tongue or putty-flange thereon, of a metallic corner-plate secured to the sash-bars, said plate having a flange integral therewith and forming a continuation of the putty-flange on the `sash-bar, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a wooden sashbar, of a metallie socket secured thei'eto, the mullion entering said socket, said m uliiou and socket each having a fiange, fol'ming together :L continuous puttyfiange, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the Wooden bzu's of a sash, of putty-fianges formed thereon and extending above the general level thereof, and metallic plates covei'ing the joints of the wooden bm's, said plates having flzuiges which Io zu'e continuations of the wooden {hmges of the bai's, substantialiy as described.

In testimony whereof I afiix mysignatm'e in px'esenee of two witnesses.
