This I am enabled to do by simply lifting the sash as usual, the sash b and runners d (1 remaining in their longitudinal relation because of the V-shaped meeting surfaces. Should I, however, desire to clean the outside of the windows, I am enabled to do so without danger by turning the sash pivotally, and to enable the sash to thus he turned I simply press upon the sash at a point distant from the pivotal pins, so that the inclined edges of the sash, engaging the correspondingly-inclined edges of the runners, force the inside sections of the runner pivotally outwardly or toward the frame, this movement being permitted by the springs it within the runner. The sash may be again closed with greatest ease, as may be understood.

I am aware that various modifications from my construction thus positively described may be made or employed without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention, and consequently I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself by the positive expressions employed above except as the state of the art may require.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. The combination with the frame a, of metallic runners each made in telescopic sections one of said sections being provided with a pin which extends through the other section into the sash, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination with the frame, of a sectional runner, one section of which slides within the other, said runner-sections sliding together in said frame and providing a pivot on which the sash may be pivoted, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination with a frame having runner-ways between parting-strips, of sectional runners arranged in said ways, one of the sections of each of which is provided with pins upon which springs are arranged, the central of said pins being extended through the other section to provide a pivot for the sash, the said sash and the runner-section next adjacent thereto being'provided with corresponding inclines to hold the said parts normally in longitudinal engagement, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination with the metallic frame having parting-strips making vertical slideways, of sectional metallic runners arranged in said slideways and having shaped inner faces and inwardly-projecting pivotal pins, and metallic sashes arranged on said pivotal pins and having correspondingly-shaped 0pposite side edges fitting the shaped faces of the runners, and springs arranged between the sections of the runner permitting of a movement of one of the sections away from the sash when the latter is turned pivotally, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination with the frame providing vertical slideways, of sectional runners arranged in said slideways, one of the sections of each of said runners being provided with pins g, g, springs arranged on said pins and normally tending to throw said sections apart, a central pivotal pin fastened upon one section of each runner and extending therefrom into the sash, a cord-holder also fastened on a section of each of said runners, and a sash engaging said runners and held by the pivotal pins thereof, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of May, 1902.

GEORGE SGHWING.
