Improvements in or relating to Sliding Windows.
JAMES CORP of 1 Gower Place London, W.C. in the County of Middlesex,
Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the-
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the-
following statement :-
My invention refers to improvements in or relating to sliding windows, & has
reference to a peculiar arrangement whereby sliding windows may be swung
(while attached to the sashcord) into the room to facilitate the cleaning of same-
& other purposes. The principal advantages being the ease with which the invention
may be adapted to the existing form of sliding windows, that it dispenses with
the loose parting head, brings the whole of both upper & lower sashes within.
the room, the prevention of jambing & more especially its simplicity & efficiency.
In order that my invention may be clearly & readily understood 1 have annexed
herewith a sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a full size plan of pulley & sash stile of a window with my
invention attached and
Fig. 2 a scale side elevation thereof.
In the drawings like letters refer to like parts.
My invention consists essentially of the movable, intermediate stile A, of wood,.
iron, copper or any other suitable material but preferably zinc same being
pressed, cut, stamped or otherwise formed into the desired shape & pivotted at.
any convenient point B by means of a screw (or its equivalent pivotting device).
to the upper portion of frame of window. A thumb screw C is provided at the
lower part of stile A (or at any other convenient portion) passing through.
the bead D of stile A engage with a tapped plate E by which the intermediate
stile A together with both sashes F & G may be secured when in their normal
closed position. Part of the stile A may be turned round as shewing in the
drawings (thus forming the stop bead D integrally & dispensing with the ordinary
wooden bead. It will also be seen that the parting bead H is also formed
integrally with the intermediate stile thereby dispensing with the loose wooden
parting bead, but if desired the parting bead (as also may be the stop bead) can be
formed separately. By disengaging the thumb-screw the intermediate stile A.
together with the two sashes may be swung into the room as shewn in Fig. 2..
The sashes may be held in this latter position by any convenient means.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. The movable intermediate stile A of wood, iron, copper or any other suitable
material pivotted to the upper part of window frame in any convenient manner &
capable of being swung, together with the upper & lower sashes within the room
for cleaning & other purposes substantially as described & for the purpose set forth.
in & by the accompanying drawings & Specification.
2nd. The arrangement & construction in general of my invention in or relating:
to sliding windows substantially as & in the manner hereinbefore set forth.
