Improvements in Window Sashes, and Frames therefor.
I, ARTHUR, HAWLEY of West Parade Penistone in the County of York, Joiner
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to window sashes and frames therefor, the object being to
so construct and arrange a single or double hung sash that the sashes may be
opened radially inwards for the safe and easy,means of cleaning the windows and
may also be moved upwards and downwards as ordinary hung sashes; to. attain
which in the matter of a double hung sash I vertically divide each stile so.that the
part which bears within the frame forms the hanging portion, and I arrange the
frame so that the hanging portion of stile bears in a dovetailed slide for the purpose
hereinafter described.
The vertical division of each stile is in the form of a rabbet in order to prevent
rain or wind passing through the stiles when window is closed.
The inner half of each stile is hinged, to the hanging, half by means of suitable
hinges situated at the lower end of each sash and arranged in such a way that the
lower sash may be pulled over radially within a room and in consequence the
upper sash be
window may be easily and safely cleaned at the same time the
lowered in the usual way and subsequently pulled over radially in manner described
with reference to the lower sash.
may
The dovetailing of the frame for the reception of the hanging parts of the stiles
.prevents the latter falling indwards when the remainder of, the sashes are radially
pulled downwards for cleaning as it will be obvious that the meeting rail of the
lower sash or the head rail of the upper sash would have no support for the hanging
parts of the stiles, when the sashes were radially opened.
I prefer to fasten when the sashes are closed the radially movable parts of the
stiles to, the hanging, parts by means of bolts, catches or other similar ordinary
devices, and the meeting rails I prefer to fasten by an adjustable hinged bolt and
screw stop, so. that the lower sash may be fixed at any suitable distance radially
from the upper sash' thereby, allowing of ventilation to a room as will be well
understood.
In a single hung sash I arrange the hung part of sash in manner before described
and with reference to the fixed part it is similar in every respect excepting the
part of stile within the frame is stationary.

Improvements in Window. Sashes, and Frames thereior.
I, ARTHUR HAWLEY of West Parade, Penistone in the County of York,
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 :-
This invention relates to window, sashes and frames therefor, the object being to
so construct and arrange a single or double bung sash that the sashes may be

page_text: opened inward for the safe and easy means of cleaning the windows and may also
be moved upward and downward as ordinary hung sashes; to attain which I
construct and arrange. my improvements substantially. as described with reference
to the accompanying drawings which are to be taken as part of this Specification
and read therewith..
'
Fig. 1. is a front view of my improved window sash and frame therefor.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional elevation taken on line a a of Fig. 1. and Fig. 3. is
a similar cross sectional elevation with the windows swung inward for cleaning or
other purposes.
Fig. 4. is a side elevation upon an enlarged scale of the binge I prefer to use for
hinging the radially movable stile to the remainder of stile and Fig. 5. is a plan
of same.
!
Fig. 6 is a plan of sash fastener I prefer to use for securing the meeting rails
and Fig. 7 is a side elevation of same.
Fig. 8 is a plan upon an enlarged scale of a bolt I prefer to use for fastening the
radially movable part of sash stile to the remaining part of sash stile. Fig. 9 is a
front view of part of same and Fig. 10 is a cross sectional elevation taken on
line of Fig. 9.
Fig. 11. is a full size sectional plan taken on line c c of Fig. 1.
Fig. 12. is a full size sectional plan taken on a line similar to Fig. 11. but where
the sashes are not hung.
Fig. 13 is a sectional elevation of hinged bottom part of a window where the
upper sash is hung and the lower sash hinged and Fig. 14 is a side sectional
elevation of the hinged part of sash where the lower sash is hung and the upper
sash is hinged.
Fig. 15 is a cross sectional elevation of the hinged part of a sash which does
not slide up and down and Fig. 16 is a front view of said part.
Similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in each view.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 11, I vertically divide each stile S so that the part s¹
which bears within the frame F forms the hanging portion, and I arrange
the frame F so that the said hanging portion s¹ bears in a dovetailed slide f¹
for the purpose hereinafter described.
The vertical division s² of each stile S is in the form of a beaded rebate grooved
one into the other as shown at Fig. 11.
The inner half of each stile S is hinged to the hanging half by means
of especially formed hinges H shown at Figs. 4 and 5 and which are fitted to
the lower parts of each sash S as shown thereby allowing the lower sash to be
pulled over radially within a room as shown at Fig. 3. so that the window may
be easily and safely cleaned at the same time the upper sash may be lowered
in the usual way and subsequently in like manner pulled over as shown at
Fig. 3.
The dovetailing f' of the frame F for the reception of the hanging parts s¹ of
the stiles S prevents the latter falling inwards when the remainder of the sashes
are pulled radially down for cleaning or other purposes.
I fasten the radially movable parts 3 of the stiles S to the hanging parts by
means of bolts similar to that shown in detail at Figs. 8, 9 and 10. Each said bolt
being arranged with a bearing C having a V shape under groove for the reception
of the bolt c', and a slot c2 is formed wherein is arranged the head 3 for moving
the bolt c¹ in and out.
The bearing C is secured to the part 3 of sash S and the part. s receives an
ordinary eye or pocket for the reception of the end of bolt cas will be well
understood.
The meeting rails of the sashes I fasten together by the adjustably hinged
fastener or bolt B see Figs. 6 and 7, the hinged part of which is pivotted to a
fixing which latter is secured to the meeting rail of top sash and the bolt B is
carried therein upon a hinge 62 which has freedom of both vertical and lateral
radial movement.

page_text: Upon the meeting rail of lower sash I fasten the fixing b³ which has a screw
stop 6 so that by this means the lower sash may be fixed at any suitable distance
radially from the upper sash when required thereby allowing of ventilation to a
room as will be well understood.
In a window where one sash only slides up and down it will be obvious that I
arrange the sliding sash in manner before described and with reference to the other
sash it is similar in every respect excepting the part of stile within the frame is
fixed or made as part of the frame itself.
When the upper sash only is free to move up and down I in some cases hinge
the bottom sash to the lower part of frame or sill f* see Fig. 13 and when the
lower sash only is free to move up and down I hinge the upper sash to the
inner part of frame F with hinges similar to those shown at Figs. 4 and 5. see
Fig. 14.
Where the two sashes are arranged to swing only I pivot the_lower_sash as
shown at Fig. 13 and the upper sash I pivot by crank hinges H see Figs. 15
and 16 so that the said upper sash may be pulled inwards freely without having to
inove the lower sash first."
I am aware that prior to my invention divided stiles have been used with
rabbited vertical divisions I do not desire therefore to lay claim as my invention
the use of the same per se neither to the mere hinging of one part of the divided
stile to the other but
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
1. In window sashes and frames therefor the combination of vertically divided
stiles S having beaded rebates 3 with a frame F having dovetails f¹ substantially
as described and illustrated.
2. In window sashes and frames therefor the use with the combination covered
by Claim 1 aforesaid of hinges shown at Figs. 4, 5, 15, and 16 substantially as
described.
3. In window sashes and frames therefor the use with the combination covered
by Claim 1 aforesaid of a fastening B shown at Figs. 6 and 7 and bolt c¹ shown at
Figs. 8 and 9 substantially as described.
