ALVIN CARROLL GODDA RD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIG-NOR. TO' I BWCHARD 00., OF

NEW YORK, N. Y.

WINDOW.

GODDARD, a citizenofthe United States, and

a resident of the 'cit of New York, Long Island City, boroug of Queens, in the county of Queens and "State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Window, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. 1

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved window, havin a swinging on a transomsash arrange to insure a tight joint, to render'the window dust and moisture proof when closed.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same,

which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this spec fication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1- is-a face viewof the improvement H an as applied to a window having both u per and lower sashes, mounted to swing on ori zontal pivots; Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section of the same on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3is a similar view of a-window having an iipper transom sash and a lower fixed sash; i 4 is a sectional plan viewof the same on t e line 44 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a sectional plan view of the im rovement on the linef55 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 s, an enlarged face view of one of the pivotal'connections for the transom sash to ,swingon, and Fig. 7 is a sectional plan view of t" same on v the line 77 of Fig. 6..

' sill C and at the middleby the transom bar' The window frame or casing consists of the jambs A, A connected with each other at the top by the head B, .at the bottom by the D, the said parts of the window frame or casing being made of sheet metal bent into hollow or tubular form."

The upper and lower sashes E .and E have pivotal connections F, F vwith the jambs A, A ofthe window frame or casing, to allow of swinging said sashes into an 0 enor closed position.- The upper sash is the top rail Specification a mum Patent. Application filed larch 4, 1908'. Serial No. 419,168.

H. and the bottom rail H, and the lower sash E is provided with thestiles-G, Gand the top and bottom rails H1, H

The stiles. and rails of the sashesE and E" are made of sheet metal bent into hollow or tubular. form, as plainly indicated in 2 and .5, and. in the said stiles and rails. are formed grooves for the reception of the window anes I and- I, secured in lace by the amp oyment of putty or. like astenin means, as indicated in-Fig. 2; The top is H of the ugper sash E is made of two'parts united b ouble seams, which form flanges J, J, 0 which the flange J extends outwardly.from the outer face of the sash E, while the flange. J" extendsupw'ardlyflin alinement withthe inner face of the sash, the said. flange J being ada ted to pass into a groove B formed on the ead B, while the flange J is adapted to abut against a shoulder B -formed on the said head 13. Thus when the sash E-is in a closed position an exceedingly joint is had between the rail the ead B. The lowerrail H *is likewise made of two gether-by seams which orm flanges J, J, of which the flange J. extends downwardly and is adapted to abut against the shoulder ,D formed on the transom bar D, and the flange J extends inwardly from the inner face of the sash E, andis adapted to 'pass intoa groove D formed on the transom bar D. The lower sash E. has its rails H, H

arts, fastened to-- grovided with similar fla as. J, J and J} of which the flanges J, 1 eng grooves D, C formed in the transombar. and the sill Crespectively, while the. flanges J" and J abut against shoulders D, O- ormed on the transom bar D and .the sill C, respectively. 1

The transom bar D is preferably ormedf of two pieces of sheet metal bent to forma hollow or tubular bar, the two pieces being fastened. together by double seams which form portions of the grooves D", D above -mentioned, as shown in Fig.2.v By the ar rangement described, the sashes when swung into closed positions render the window moistureand dust proof, owing to'the double joints both at the outer and inner-faces of the sashes, as above described.

Each of the pivotal connections F and F against the seams Gr connecting the pieces so as to permit a ready turningor swinging .of the sashes whenever it is desired to open having a pivot pin F and a plate F having '7. A reinforcing bar L abuts against the with the top of the sill .C, so that the latter ed of sheet metal in a very simple and ex-- (see Figs. 6 and '7) is formed of a plate F,

a bearing F engaged by the pivot pin F The plate F is fastened by screws. K to a reinforcing bar L held on the inside of the corresponding j amb A or A, the bar abutting against the double seams A connecting the ieces of which each jambis made, as will be readily understood by reference to Fig.

outside of the seams A and preferably extends throughout the height of the jamb A or A. The pivot plate F is fastened by screws K to a reinforcing bar N held on the inside of the corresponding stiles G, G, G: or G the said reinforcing bar N abutting of which the stiles are made with each other. By the arrangement described, the plates F and F are securely fastened in place to the reinforced portions of the jambs and stiles or close the same. In order to provide a tight joint at the stiles of the sashes and the jambs A, A, the latter are provided with stop bars 0' made of sheet metal bent into tubular form, which receive the reinforcing bar L, and to interlock with the seams A as plainly indicated in Fig. 5. Each of the stiles G, G, (l and Gr is provided with a corresponding stop bar G made of sheet metal and interlocked with and formin the inner face of the stile, which-is made 0 two parts interlocked with each other by double seams G, as shown in Fig. 5.

In case the upper sash only is a transom sash while the lower sash E is fixed or made permanent, then the following arrangement is made, special reference being had to Figs. 3 and 4. The upper rail P of the sash E is made of a single piece of sheet metal, open at the top and interlocked by seams Q with the bottom of the transom bar D having the shoulder'D and the groove D for the flanges J z and J as previously explained and shown in Fig. 2. The lower rail P of the sash E is similarly interlocked by double seams Q and the lower rail P form one hollow structure, the same as the transom bar I) and the up er rail P. The stiles R of this permanent sas i E are made of sin le pieces of sheet metal and are interlocks with the jambs S by the double seams T formed within the jambs, as plainly indicated in Fig. 4.

From the foregoing it will be seen thatthe window frames and sashes can be constructceedingly durable manner, and the window is rendered completely dust and moisture proof when the transom sashes are closed.-

In order to lock the sashes E and E in ceases closed positions, locking devices are provided both alike in construction, that it suffices to describe but one in detail. Upper and lower swing latches T, T, are mounted to swing on rotatable brackets U, D, at-

tached to the sashes E and 1t" and a chain V is attached 'to the lower latch T and passes over a pulley NV journaled on the upper latch T. The upper latch for theuppulls onthe free end of the chain V for the lock of either sash, then the catches T, 'l" are simultaneously swung into open position and on a further pull on the sash E or it is swung open. v

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A window comprising a frame formed of sheet metal bent into tubular form, the jambs of the frame beingformed of two pieces in: terlocked by seams, the jambs of the frame chain V, the

being provided with LWO tubular sheet metal stops interlockedwith theseams thereof,.anda sas form, the stiles being approximatelyU-shape and provided with tubular sheet metal stops interlocked with the stiles by seams.

2. A window having a window frame formed of sheet metal bent to form hollow j ambs, head and sill, and a sash fixed in the said window frame, the sashhaving' its stiles and rails made of sheet metal bent into tubu lar form, the stiles being each made of a sin gle piece of sheet metal bentinto an approximate U-shape, the sides terminating in flanges, and the said jambs being each made-- of two ieces ofsheet metal interlocked with each ot er by a double seam, into which fit the said flanges of the stiles.

3.
