' AUGUST W. DENOW, OF OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN.

STORM-WINDOW OPERATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 27, 1919. Serial No. 307,067.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Aueus'r W. DENOW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oskkosh, in the county of Winnebago and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm- Window Operators; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has for its object to provide an extremely simple and inexpensive, yet a highly efiicient and in every way desirable device for opening storm windows simultaneously with either the lowering of the upper sash or raising of the lower sash of the ordinary window, and with this object in view, the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement hereinafter described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 are vertical transverse sections through a window equipped with a storm sash and the improved operator for the latter, showing different positions of.

parts.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the plane of line 3-3 of Fig. 1.-

Fig 4 is a fragmentary elevation illustrating the manner of attaching the operating rods to the-sash.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged vertical section on the plane indicated by line 55 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 6 is a detail perspective of a portion of one of the tracks and the slide mounted thereon.

In the drawings I have shown a common form of window frame 1, upper and lower sashes 2 and 3 mounted slidably in said frame, and a storm sash 4 in the outer part of said frame, hinged thereto at 5. These parts are of well known construction and form no part of the present invention except in their association with the features described below.

I secure vertical tracks 6 to the'sash 4, mount a slide 7 on each track, connect the slides with the upper sash 2 by rods 8, and similarly connect said slides with the lower sash 3 by rods 9, both ends of all rods being pivotally mounted. By this arrangement, when either the upper or the lower sash is opened, the rods 8 and 9 will swing the storm sash 4 outwardly as seen in Fig. 2,

the slides 7 then traveling along thetracks 6. The storm'sash is opened in proportion to the amount which the ordinary Window is opened and is controlled by either sash of the latter. I

The tracks 6 are by preference formed of metal stamped into L-shape in transverse section with one flange secured to the sash 4 and the other flange beaded at 10, and although the slides 7 could be of any suitable construction, I prefer to stamp them from sheet metal, each slide having a tubular body portion 11 and a lateral flange 12 extending therefrom, said flange being provided with openings in which the buter ends Patented Nov. 25, 1919., i

of the rods 8 and 9 are pivotally mounted.

I prefer to provide the inner ends of the rods 8 and 9 with balls or other heads 13 receivable in sockets 14 stamped at the center of attaching plates 15 which are secured to the upper and lower sashes, said plates being also stamped to form slots 16 leading from the sockets 14 to allow the rods 8 and 9 to fold rather flat against the sashes.

The details shown and described are preferable on accountof their simple and inexpensive nature, but it will be obvious that other constructions should be followed within the spirit ofthe invention as claimed. Furthermore, although I will in most instances provide two operators for each storm sash, located one at each edge of the latter, one such operator might well be used if desired.

1 claim:

1. The combination with a window frame having upper and lower sliding sashes and a hinged storm sash; of a track secured to said storm sash, a slide on said track, and rods connecting said slide with the upper and lower sashes respectively.

2. A storm sash operator comprising a track for attachment to the storm sash, a slide movable along said track, a pair of rods pivoted at one end to said slide, and means for pivotally connecting the other ends of said rods to the upper and lower sashes of an ordinary window.

3. A storm sash operator comprising a track adapted for attachment to the storm sash, said track having .a beaded edge, a stamped metal slide having a tubular portion movable along said beaded track, said slide being provided with a flange stamped laterally from said tubular portion and provided with spaced openings, a pair of rods having one end pivotally mounted in said openings, and means for pivoting the other ends of said rods to the upper and lower sashes of an ordinary Window.

4. A storm sash operator comprising a' track for attachment to the storm sash, a

slide movable along said track, a pair of rods pivoted at one end to said slide andhaving heads on their other ends, attaching 10 plates adapted to be secured to the upper slots being provided leading from said sockets to permit folding of said rods toward the sashes.

In testimony whereof have hereunto set my hand.
