Application filed January l9, 1922. Serial No. 536,296.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, -JAHES M. Tmcos, a
I citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Huntington, in the county of Huntington and State of Indiana, have made an Invention Appertaining to a Window Chute; 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, reference being had to, the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to a combined window frame, closure and chute for use particularly in connection with basement windows.
In the use of apparatus of this character difficulty is experienced in firmly securing the chute frames in window openings, and while the frame may be rigid when first placed in an opening, the throwing of coal, wood or other material therethrough frequently loosens the frame in the opening and creates an objectionable condition.
The primary object of my invention is to construct a chute frame in such manner as to enable it to be easily and quickly mounted in a wall opening and rigidly anchored in position therein in an efficient, inexpensive and permanent'manner. Other advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description thereof.
While the invention in its broader aspect is capable of embodiment in numerous forms, a preferred embodiment thereof is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,--
Fig. 1 is an inner perspective view of a chute frame embodying the invention in open position, with a part broken away. Fig. 2 is a central vertical cross-section thereof with a part broken away. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the frame with the window in closed position, and Fig. 4 is a horizontal cross-section of the chute frame on the line -4 in Fig. 1 anchored in a wall opening. I
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the foundation wall of a house or other building having a basement window opening 2 therein. A chute frame or casing embodying the invention is mounted in the opening and comprises an outer edge frame 3 preferably-of cast-metal, a casing 4c, and
AMns M. TRIGGS, QF I-IUNTING'EON, INDIANA, nssrcnon 1T0 THE ranansirrc coman inner edge frame 5 of angle iron, eXtending, inthepresent instance, across the top and down the sides of the casing with a flange thereof extending Outward fmmthe;
casing.
The front edge frame 3 is substantially L-form in cross-section wlth one Qflange adapted to project into the wall opening in slightly spaced relationto the top and side walls thereof, and with the other flange extending outward and of sufficient breadth to lap the outer marginal edge wall of the opening entirely therearound. Aflange 6 is provided in inset relation in the opening of the frame 3 entirely therearound and serves as a stop for a window or closure member 7 to set against, such window being hinged at its top. edge to the top portion of the frame.
The casing part 4 of the chute frame is of sheet metal, or other suitable sheet-like materialof a substantial nature, and is riveted or otherwise secured to the outer side of they inwardly projecting flange of the edge frame 3 and has top, bottom and side portions. The inneredge frame 5, which is preferably'ofangle iron is riveted .or other.-
suitably secured to the inner edge of thecasing.
The outwardly projecting flanges of the edge frames .3 and 5 cooperate with the sides of the casing 4 to form external vertically disposed channels, and eachcasing side has an opening 8 at or near its top to provide access to such channels from the interior of the chute frame. It will be understood that the depth of the chute frame inwardly from its front edge may be sufficient to suit the thickness of the wall in which disposed. It is customary, however, in manufacturing such chute frames to make them of a size to fit walls of usualthickness.
hen a chute frame is inserted in wall opening the buttom of the casing 4;
rests on the bottom wall of the opening and the inner edge bar 5 fits in the opening with the casing side in spaced relation to the side walls of the 'opening and with the outer edge flange of the frame 4:
abutting against the marginal wall of the opening thereby forming pockets between the casing sides and the side walls of the opening. It is intended to fill these pockets with cement or other suitable cementitious the openings 8 afterthe frame has been placed in position in the wall opening. The
hardening of the cement causes the chute frame to be secured in the opening in a rigid, efiiclent and permanent manner.
If the chute frame s used in a wall whlch is of greater thickness than the depth of the framethe inner edge of thebottom wall of the opening may be protected by an apron 10 from wood, coal or other matter thrown through the chute frame. This apron is V hinged to the lower inner edge of the chute frame 11 (Fig. 2) to adapt it to adjust itself to the edge of the wall which it is to pro- 'tect.- i
A sheet metalhopper 12 of U-form in cross-section is mounted in the chute frame being connected thereto by links 13, one of which is disposed at each side of the hopper and is pivoted at its upper endto the top of the casing atl i near the adjacent side of the casing, and is pivoted at its lower end at 15 tothe respective side wall of the hopper at the inner side thereof near its frontedge. The hopper 12, when not in use, is adapted to be swungto upright podsition within the chute frame, as shown by dotted lines in Flg. 2, and when in usable position it extends outward on an incline from the front edge of the chute frame, being held in such position by a stop-flange 15 on the bottom thereof near its inner edge bearing against the outer side of the portion of the flange 6 extending across the bottom of the edge frame 3 I wish it understood that my invention is not limited to any specific construction, ar-
rangement or form of the parts, as it is capable of embodiment in numerous forms without departing from the spirit. of the claims. v p 1 3 Having thusdescribed my invention, what I claim asne'w and desire'to secure by Letters Patent is,-
1. A chute frame of the class described,
comprising inner and outer edge frames and a casing connecting the edge frames and having openings near the tops'of} the chute frame sides between the edge frames, the edge frames having flanges projecting out ward from the casing to cooperate therewith edge bars attached to the casing sidesat the outer sides thereof; near their inner edges,-the casing side's, the'laterally projecting side flanges of the edge frame, and the edge bars cooperating with the side walls of a wall opening in which disposed to form vertical pockets for receiving a ce-mentitious anchoring material introduced therein from the interior of the chute frame through the side openings in the casing.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name to this specification.
