IMPROVED WINDOW SASH AND PASTENEE.

To ALL WHoM IT MAY coNeERN:

Be it known that I, ANTHONY Isun, of the city of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster, and State 'of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and improved mede ci' constructing Window Sash; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact 'description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure I is an ordinary vcasc-andvsash, with my improvements in place.

Figure 2, portions ot' a window, with the lower sash removed from the extra strip I), which remains in the sliding groove 0r chamber in the casing; vthe upper sash drawnv down to show the union of the extra strip, B, with the frame A, of the sash or window frame.

Figure 3 shows a portion ot' the extra. strip li, locked to a portion ofthe sash A, full thickness for an ordinary window; also, the sinne pieces separated to show them in different points of view,

Figure 4 shows two notches cut into the moulding of the casing of the window, for locking and unlocking the union of pieces A B, from or to each other, as well as to the casing C.

As wi'dow sash operated by cords and pulleys are now in general use, it is found exceedingly dilicult to wash the outside of windows in the upper stories, and always requiring the services of a regular glazier, with his fixtures, to replace a broken pane of glass from the outside, as the sash cannot be taken out without detach ing the cords, much to the injury of the same er the sash, as is frequently experienced; even when cords are not attached, the side strips are often so firmly united with the paint as te frequently break in being removed so that the sash can he taken out for washing or repairing.

The object of this invention is to ohviate these ditiiculties, and to provide a simple means of uniting the sash with cords and pulleys, (or without them,) in such a manner that the sash will perform all its functions and yet be readily taken out and replaced into the casing;y Y l To accomplish this desirable object, I .simply employ an extra side piece or strip, B; this can be easily applied to windows made on the old plan, with a strip et' the wood removed from the sides, and the hook tongue and groove ploughed on. Fig. 3, B, shows the'union of this lextra strip with the sash A, as also separated, clearly indicating the joint of said tongue and groove; these aud thevcasing prevent them from yielding later; ally. To prevent a vertical slip, a hush er check-pieee l) is inserted into the piece B, (one or more,) u. correspending notch, E, is veut out of the sashioining A, or a peg may be inserted at several points in the groeve 0f B, with corresponding holes in A (iig. 2.) The tongue and groove prevent the pieces also from separating outwards, vbut will readily come apart by drawing the sash A inwards, to bind them together ina-l1 directions. A turning latch, I", with a handle, H, is atixed upon the extra slip B, so that it can be turned over upon the sash or frame A, which locks them together firmly in every direction, as it' both constituted one piece of the ordinary sash. Two notches, G and I, (iig. 4,) are made. in the moulding of the casing C. When the handle H, of thQturning latch F, is turned inte the upper notch G, the sash will lift out, said notch being so placed that the lower sash is first raised alnve the water-strip on the sill. This notch also holds the extra strips B in their place in the casing, so that the weights cannot jerk them up when the sash is removed, (from the'lowcr sash at least.) The other or lower notch, I, answers for locking not only the parts, A B together, but both jointly to the casing, so that the 'window' cannot bc raised. When the handle H (or turning knob) is in the position shown in the union ot'A B, (iig. 3,) the sash is free te move, but still unit-ed to the extra strip. f shows a metallic strip on which thc latch moves, hut the latch may he cust with a hex and fitted on a pivot; the lJoX or base, made in two parts, to he let into the wood, of a neat and ornamental pattern. The cords et' the pulleys are inserted through the upper portion ot` the. extra strips; :t-groovc, I, being cut out next the casing for the protection of the cord, to prevent friction this also attords great simplicity and facility for connecting the cords. The sash :1nd casing, cord and pulleys, may he of any desired style, to suit the taste ofthe architect or huilderi I claim no further novelty than the construction or employment of au extra strip Ii, comhined und used sul)h stantially, in connection with the sash, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

I am aware that side springs in the casing and various devices have been employed 4with :i view of reniering the sash; but am not aware of any mode yet adopted that meets Awith full approbation. '.Ihe plan herein specified meets the decided approval of all who have examined the same, and cannet help but meet with general favor. and is the result, after numerous trials and many approximating plans, too numerous te enumerate.

Hence, I do not confine myself to the exact mode ofjoining or locking .the extra, piece to the sash, (which piece is of course always ofthe length andthickness of the side of the sash to which it is made-to {it} a. shorter strip night be used, but it would nothin-ke e, symmetrical job.

I do not claim the employment of sliding liars, when such are so arranged that the sash must he inclined in order to catch into metallic strips above, and held below aspring latchy on en-ch side:

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is The tonguenlfgroove connection of the strip B with the sides A of the sash, in combination with the turning button, for either locking both parts A B togethers() :is to move up and down jointly, or for locking both to the casing, the .Whole arranged and operating in the manner and forl the purpose specified.
