To all whom it may) o oncera:

Be it known thatI, Gnome CQCL ARK, a

citizen of the UnitedStates, residing atDetroit, countyof Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful; Inn provement in Swinging Stops for Slidable Hinged Sashes,,and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being .had to the acof this specification. y 1 1 I 1 s The object of this invention is: to provide a hinge stop that can be swung away from the window, so as to allow the sash to-be swung inward for ventilating the, room, or for cleaning the glass. Another object is to provide a stop that can be either fastened or hinged at bothends to swing in a vertical or a horizontal plane and is for use in connection witha sliding. hinged sash. These and other objects and the several novel features of .theinvention in its preferred form are hereinafter more fully described and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawings in which, r Figure l is a cross section through a window, showing the stop; and the window in companying drawings, whichforin apart dotted lines, when swung inward to ventilate the roomQw Fig. 2 is a perspective detail of the hinge member at the bottomof the stop.

Fig. 3 is a detail of the pivot plate used in connection with the hinge member in Fig-Q2. I Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the stop, certain parts being broken away and ,showing the hingemember, the warping plate, and

the pivot catch at the top of the stop. I

The window frame 18315 0 provided with a stop twhich isset ii' from the inner edge of thewindowfand hinged at its lowerend to the hinge 5, as is] shown more particularly in Fig. 2. i

, The hinge fi is fastened to the plate :6, C H

which in turn is fastened to the hinge 7, winch connects both the plates 6 ands. This hinge member is mounted directly on'the base plate 9, shown moreparticularly 3, which is screwed to the window frame, being: provided with screw slots 10, which allow for adjustment thereof. Thescrew l1 passes through the washer l2v through the plate 8, and through the hole 13 in the plate 9.

This forms a. pivot, the plate 9 being solid with the window frame, and plate 8 being adapted to swing on the screw 11, as its axis. At the top of the stop is provided the two piecesl l; and 15, which are mounted so as r 4 to slideione below the other. Thestop in its normal position brings thetwo parts together, as shown in Fig. 4, and the thumbscrew 30 in the part 1.4 can be turned up to bind the two parts 14 and 15 together. The part 15 is slotted at its forward end at $81,

and is formed with theup-turned edge 16 on each side of the slot behind which the thumb-screw engages, thus preventing accidentaldisplacement of the stop by the window bumping it and forcing it out of place.

As can be readily seen from the drawing, by loosening the thumb screw3Q so that it can be moved over the projection 16 and out of tion of the arrow in Fig. orfit can be swung across the face ofthe window until the slot 31, the stop can be turned at right angles to the window frame, in the direcbe swung on the screw 11 and the thumbscrew .30 asits hinges. In order 110.? swing the stop on the vertical pivots the catch 22 and companion member 21 should not be used.- The stop shownin-the-drawings is of I a type for use .in a thick wall, and the dis tance from the sash to the innenedg'e {of thewindow frameis too reat to permit of the use of a stop of that W'ldlihl In this type of window, one oftht, "best. ways 0t remov ing the stop to-allow the window to swing, is

, to hinge tl est op as in this case, so it can window frame and laid down upon the sill thereof, toal low a clear space inwhich the window can swing. I have shown in the drawing a method of pivoting this'stop on the upper end on the thumb-screw 30, and at 'the lower end on the screw l1,so that it can be swung in a' horizontal plane. This arran'gementis intended forwindows having a narrow space between the edge of the sash ga nd"th'e inneredge of" the window so that {when swung on the pivots 1'1 and 30 as its yertical axis, it"can be folded back outside {of the'window frame and thus allow a clear spaceinwhich'the window can be swung. When'the stopsare outof the way, being understoodfthat there isa .stop' atieach side otti ei window, the window canbe swung inwardly, "the direction for; swinging the window being sliown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. it is'inecessary to remove, the upper sash it can be slid to itslowermost position, at which point the parting strip 17 between the two windows can be removed, there being a parting strip 17 at both sides of thewindow frame, and thus the sash ,2 can be swung to the same position as. the lower sash, it also being pivoted at its lower end to the sash-cordf This parting strip 17 has a pin 18 attheupper end thereof, and a pin 19 at the lower end thereof, whichfit in sockets in tlie'window frame. The lower cross bar of the upper frame projects outward over the parting strip 17 in its normal position, and prevents removal there 0f. When the projecting cross barof the fwindow frame passes low enough to cover the solidvpart 20 of the parting. strip, the 'pin 18 can be removed from its socket in' the window frame by swinging the stop 17 outward across the window frame and then lifting it up to disengage the pin 19 from "socket. The window sash then can be swung inwardly as there are no projections on whichit would catch. In cases where the window sashes are very long, it can be seen that the hii'ig'ed stop must also be very long and is liable to warp. To prevent this, a plate 2l, is fastened to the window frame, the window frame being cut out directly below it to provide aspace for the hooked end 22 of the, plate'23, which is fastened to the stop 4', this catch holding the stop and'binding it in position parallelwith window frame 1 and preventing it from warping. One ofthe novel features" of this inventio'nisje nbodiedin the hinged joint, Fig. "2, which allows the "stop to be swung across "the" face of the window frame, or at a right "angle to it, or it can be swung in a horizon- Copis of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,

tal plane on the point 11 and the thumb screw 30. Another novel feature is that the window can be swung inwardly, enabling the operator to clean the outside face of the glass, thus eliminating the troublesome and dangerous belts or ladders, which are commonly used for this purpose, and prevents the danger or anyone falling from the window from the necessity of climbing outside to clean it.

From the foregoing description, it becomes evident that the device is comparatively simple, affords a splendid means of ventilation, and is very simple, ei'licient and convenient in operation.

Having thus briefly described my invention,rits utility and mode of operation, what I claim and'desire to secure by Letters Patent of the U. S., is

'1. In a window frame, a sash, a: stop provided to form a surface against which the sash bears, saidstop being provided with a hinged joint adapted to allow movement of the sash in a vertical plane at right angles with the window, and in a vertical plane parallel with the window frame, and means for pivoting the stop to swing in a horizontal plane.

2; In a window frame, a vertically disposed stop provided with a hinged joint at the bottom thereof, said hinged joint being pivoted to the window frame on a vertical axis and adapted to swing in a horizontal plane, said hinged joint being also tical axis'and adapted to swing in a horizontal plane, said hinged oint being also provided with hinges adapted to allow the stop to be swung at a right angle to either of the hinges and a plate mounted directly beneath the hinged joint and fastened to the window frame and'providing, a bearing for the pivot to which the hinged joint is fastened, and at the upper end of the stop a fastening plate solidly mounted thereon, 'car rying a thumb-screw adapted to engage in .a longitudinally disposed slot in a similar plate mounted on the window frame in such manner as to allow movement of the plates one below the other.-

In testimony whereof, I sign this specifi- GEORGE C. CLARK.
