To all whom it may concern: Y

Be it known that I, ARTHURW. PALM, a subject of the King of Sweden, residing' at Minneapolis, in the county ofHennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm- Sash Holders, of which the following isa specification z ware and the main object is to provide an improved, ellicient and practical storm sash opener, closer and holder. Further objects will be disclosed inthe course of the following specification and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation through a common and well known construction Vot window frame and sashes, embodying' myinvention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectionaldetail corresponding to the lower portion of Fig. l,

,y but showing the inner sashV and the storm Y sash as closed.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal Yvie-w through the window sashes and rame,asseen substan-.

tially when looking down in Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing by reference characters 3 designates a window frame, having an inclined Vwindow sill Vt, parting strips 5 and stops 6 and 7 between which slide the inner and outer window sashes 8 and 9, all of common and well known construction. In a recess 10 of the frame 3*-is positioned the storm sash 11, the same beingl hung by suitable hinges, as at 12, in the customary manner. v

The invention is embodied in a device which is co-operatively connected to the inner sliding sash 8 and the stormV sashr11, and consists, inthe main, of a. pair of comparatively stiff coil springs 13, which Yare pivotally secured at their lower ends, as at 14, to the lower bar of the inner sash 8, and are similarly secured at their upper ends to the vertical rails of the storm sash, as at",V 15. Said lower bar of the inner sash 8, is further provided, at aboutfits middle, withV a rigid hook member 16, adapted to engage in a small bracket 17, rigidly secured on the lower rail' of the storm sash 11. SomeY sort of a latch, such as18 (see Fig, 1),' is

used to lock the. sliding sashes 8 and 9 together when they are closed. Y Y f When the invention has been properly constructed and applied to a windowconstruction,v substantially as shown in the i readily understood that when the inner sash 8 is raised Vit will'cause the storm sash 11 .to open to any extent desired. It will also be understood that the springs 13 are stiff` enough so that they will not buckle upv or f bend out of shape when in a position, as Jjor This invention relates to builders hard-f also be "drawn in and closed. leverage or pull on the stormsashdecreasesV as the springs 13 assumemore vertical posi- Vvarious views of the drawing, it willbe vcof it will further be obvious that the storm sash will Y Butas the tions, I vhave arranged 'the connections 1 at the ends of the springs so"v that the springs will be stretched out oftheir normal posi-- tions by the time theinner sash is iullyY 'y closed, This provision will provide av greater pull ou 'thestorm sash, whenmost n'e`eded,"-v and` will alsol permity the sash to v'be raised #sufficiently to enable an instrument to' bev usedY againstA the storm sashy to force it open when it is stuck orfrozen in its recess. Y The coilspring construction thus far described is usually adequate and suicient for the purposes mentioned, but it is occasion ally found that the stormrsash will rattle n Y from a strongV wind, when closed, and to overcome this objection I have provided the hook 16 which automatically engages in the i Y bracket 17 and positively holds the window llsecure from any vibrations whatever.

It is understood that the details of this invention, as herein set forth, are subject to many modifications, providedthe same come withinV the spirit .and scope ofthe appended claims. What Iclaim is: l i

1. In combination with a vertically slidable Vwindow sashand a storm sash adapted to be swung Voutwardly therefrom, coil springsV connected' attheir upper ends to the 1 slidable window sash.

.storm sash and at their lower ends tothej Y i slidable window sash and a storm sash adapted to be swung outwardly therefrom,a

.pair of normally rigid coil springs, ref spective means for pivotally securing the lower 'ends of the springs to the sliding sash and their upper ends to the storm sash.

In testimony whereofA IaLX my signature. Y

` ARTHUR W. PALM.'
