ABRAHAM REM/V5 9.

ATTORNEY.

Patented Oct. 12, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WINDOW SEAT Abraham Reisner, New York, N. Y.

Application August 19, 1935, Serial No. 36,898 2 Claims. (01. son-24) This invention relates to window seats and more particularly to the brackets securing the seat to the window sill and the object of the invention is the securing of said brackets beneath the seat and providing them with hooks for the window frame at their inner ends while the outer ends have supports to hold the seat above the outer sill.

A further object of the invention is to provide the seat with a screw clamp that engages the outer edge of the frame sill to cooperate with the hooks to secure the seat to the window sill.

These and other objects and details of the invention are more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lower part of a window frame showing a seat secured to the sill by the improved brackets.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of a window sill with the improved seat applied thereto.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clamp detached.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a bracket.

The improved window seat is adapted for use by window cleaners who require a position on the outer side of the window sash for cleaning or otherwise needing access to same.

The seat H may have back support of sheet metal or be appropriately constructed by other means and has the wood base [2. The brackets l3 are identical and are of metal having each a hook l3 at its inner end and a rectangular support l3 to hold the seat a desired distance above the sill of the brick work Hi. The hook l3 may be of appropriate shape to fit the molding H of the frame sill while the support I3 may consist of a loop of the metal where it is turned back on itself and one of the screws l9uniting the metal parts and securing the bracket to the base I2 and for which purpose another screw [9 passes 5 through the bracket and into the base near its front end. As shown in the drawing the brackets l3 are preferably of strip steel.

Depending from the base l2 between the two brackets I3 is a bracket M in which is jour- 10 nalled the clamping screw I5 carrying at its inner end the clamping member [6 having spurs to engage the frame sill I! on its outer edge. The bracket I4 is preferably secured to the base I2 by the screws I9. 15

It is obvious that the parts of the device may be otherwise arranged or modified without departing from the essential features above described or from the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim as new is:

1. In window seats, the combination with a seat, strap-iron brackets each having a hook at its inner end and a support for the seat at its outer end, a bearing bracket depending from the seat between the supports, and a clamping screw 25 in the bearing bracket.

2. In window seats, the combination of a seat, strap iron brackets each secured to the bottom of the seat at each side and formed with loops to support the said seat at their outer ends and with hooks at their inner ends to engage the window sill, a bearing bracket secured to the said seat between the strap iron brackets, and a clamping screw playing in the bearing bracket and carrying spurs at one end.

ABRAHAM REISNER.
