States, residing at Chicago, in the county of},

5 Cook and State of lllinois, have invented ai certain .new and useful Improvement in; -Window-Sashes, of which the following is a specification. f Y Our invention relates to windows, andhas for its obj ect'to'provide certain new and use-, ful im rovements hereinafter more fully de-l scribed t Figure 1 is a-front elevation of a window -containing our invention with parts illus-' Fig. 2 is a vertical section. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 33 ofv Figs. land 6. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the latchnot 'in use. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on the line 5 5, ofFig. 3. Fig. 6 is a vertical section on the line 6 60f Fi 4.. Fig.

. 7 is a detail of the pulley-and-weig t device, and Fig. 8 is a detail of the pulley. Like parts are indicated by the same letter in all the figures. r p

A A are the parts ofthe window-casing, of any desired size and form, associated with the window-casing portions B B, the whole adapted to form a window frame or casing of substantially the ordinary form 'andstyle.

, To work out our invention satisfactorily, the

. u per window-sash should be shorter than t elower. This may be accomplished in some cases by putting the extension-piece I C inthe upper frame.

D is the u per window and sash. D D are hinges W ereby this uplper window-sash is hinged to a iece which s 'des in the hollow .vertical piece, T", which is slotted at D? and associated with the parting-rail iece-D owj and sas ,provided with the hinges E E, whereby it is hinged .to a vertically-sliding iece E provided with an upper hook E an a neck E and an inner enlargement. E adapted totravel in the hollow vertical piece E. E E are rollerbearin s which are arranged in this hollow Vertical-v piece on both sides of the 'neckZand enlargement E and E so that the hinged piece freely travel vertically without One end of this cordor chain travels about 1 a the pulley F on the case F which is at- .ing 'vertica sliding piece, to which is hinged the upper window. The attachment of the chain or cord to the vertical piece upon can be moved up or down and both are held hinged is I bindingor cramping. The hinge D is in like manner associated with a like art which travels in a vertical hollow iece F is a-weight suspended om the pulleyF', around which travels the cord or chain F tached to the window-casing, and the other end of thecord or chain F travels over the pulley F which is attached to the frame F, which is in turn secured to the wood casing. The extremity of one end of the cord or chain is attached to the hook E, as shown in Fig. 1,

and the other extremity of the cord or chain to a corres ondinghook on the correspondwhich the upper sash is hinged 1s precisely the same as in' the case of the lower sash, as shown in Fig. 1. Thus either of the windows in their predeterminedpositions by the action of one and the same weight. The ulley maybe of a special pattern, whichwe w' now describe. It may consist of a central block Gr, attached to its case in a fixed position by means of the rivets G G and rovided with an outer rotating frictional rIm G which may be grooved, as at G and in which travels the cord F or it may be provided with a sprocket for a chain, if desired. Thus, as previously suggested, either of the windows can be moved up or down to any desired extent. The side of the window-casing opposite the side where the windows are rovided with laterally-movable parts, whic we will now describe.

Referring to Fig. 4, the lower window will travel in the groove J, formed between the pieces J and J which are su ported on the back plate J This back late J is connected to the fixed ortion o the casing B by the pivoted links 4 J each of which is pivoted at its upper end to the projection J on the-back plate J and at'its lower end to a 'swung inwardly, as indicated in Fig. 3.

inwardly. Inorder to move these parts J and J backwardly, however, the window 7 must be first raised until the latch is uncovered. The latch consists of the part M, having the inner hook M and associated with the guidelates M M one on each side of the plate the slot M so that it can be raised. N is a fixed block on the partB, provided with a{ hook N. By raising the latchiece M in its slot and then pushing it, toget er with the. parts J and J inwardly the latch M will engage the hook N and the parts will be locked in the position indicated in Fig. 5. The lower sash may now be moved down anId t may then be washed. It can also be run upwardly out d the way, and the upper sash can be lowered and also swung inwardl In a case where the sashes are of such ength and so mounted that the u per sash cannot be drawn down below the l dwer edge of the raised lower sash then the up er sash can, nevertheless, be swung inward y until it engages the lower ortion of the raised lower sash, and this wil give suflicient opportunity for washing it, &c.

O is a trough-like sheet-metal plate with the corner-ribs O, and it serves to support the non-moving parts.

Of course these parts may be greatly altered, and we do not wish to be understood as giving exact proportions or relations of construction. The parts may be greatly modified in their several relations, form, size, and proportion.

The use and operation of our invention are as follows: When the window is closed, the parts are in the positions indicated in Fig. 1. Obviously either the upper or the lower sash can be moved up or down to any desired position, the single weight controlling both.

' When the person in charge desires to clean the windows, he will raise the lower window until the latch is exposed. He will then push the latch up and push it, with the strips J and J and their associated parts, into the osition shown in Fig. 3, whereupon the atch will engage the hook N and the parts will belocked in this position. The upper sash can now be lowered and swung into the room, as indicated in Fig. 3, for cleaning,

The part M passes through painting, or repairing, as the case may be. The sash can then be pushed upwardly while in its inwardly-swung position andthe upper sash can be moved downwardly until it is below the lower sash.

We claim 1. In a window, the combination of a window-sash with a vertically-movable piece on which it is hinged and antifriction-balls between the vertically-movable part andthe piece in which it moves such sash grooved so as to inclose the vertical movable piece.

2. In a window, the combination of a hollow vertical piece with a vertically-movable part, and a window-sash hingedto said vertically-movable part, and antifriction-balls in the hollow part such sash grooved so as to inclose the vertical movable piece.

3. In a window, the combination of a 1101- low vertical piece with a slot in one side, a vertically-movable portion having a narrow neck to pass through the slot, and a larger portion to lie in the hollow, and a window hinged to the vertically-movable portion, and antifrictional balls in the hollow of the vertical part such sash grooved so as to inclose the vertical movable piece.

4. In a window, the combination of a window-frame with an inwardly-moving side section which permits the window-sash to swing inwardly at such side, said inwardly- -moving portion supported on pivoted links secured to a stationary part of the windowframe and a latch device to hold the side section to the window-frame.

5. In a window, the combination of a window-frame with an inwardly-moving side section which permits the window-sash to swing'inwardly at such side, saidinwardlymoving portion supported on angularlyplaced pivoted links secured to a stationary part of the window-frame and a latch device to hold the side section to the window-frame.

6. In a window, the combination of a window-frame with an inwardly-moving side section which permits the window-sash to swing inwardly at such side, said inwardlymoving portion supported on pivoted links, and a latch engaging with the stationary part of the window-frame adapted to hold the parts in their inner position.

7. In a window, the combination of a window-frame with an inwardly-moving side section which permits the window-sash to swing inwardly at such side, said inwardlymoving portion supported on angularlyplaced pivoted links, and a latch engaging with the stationary part of the window-frame adapted to hold the parts in their inner position.
