7 Claims.

The present invention relates in general to windows and is particularly concerned with improved mounting means for windows of the casement type.

It is a primary object of the present invention to provide in a window of the easement or similar type improved means for supporting the sa'sh or sashes, which may be conveniently and easily installed, which enables the sash to be easily opened and closed, and which is simple 1n construction and attractive in design so as not to detract from the appearance of the window and its surroundings.

It is a further object to provide improved mounting means for the sash of a easement window which may be utilized irrespective of whether the window has one or more sashes. i

Still another object of the herein described invention is to provide an improved article of manufacture in the form of a novel hinge construction for pivotally and slidably mounting a sash or sashes of a Casement window. n

Other objects and features of the invention will more fully appear from the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accomf panying drawings, which illustrate several window arrangements utilizing the principles of the present invention, and in which: l

Figure 1 is a view in elevation taken from the inside of a window embodying the present invention;

Figure 2 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view taken through the same and showing the sash positions, when the window is opened;

Figure 3 is a similar View of a window utilizing i a single sash instead of a pair of sashes as in Figure 1;

' Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view to show certain features of the mounting means, taken substantially on line IV-IV of Figure 1;

Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view, taken substantially on line V-V of Figure 1; and

Figure 6 is an enlarged elevational view of the novel hinge construction utilized for supporting the sashes in the present invention.

As shown on the drawings:

Illustrative of the present invention, I have chosen to show in the drawings a window casing as generally indicated at IB, this casing being of the usual construction which can be fitted in any window opening, or the like, in a frame, masonry or other` wall or structure, and can be the features ofL made of wood, metal, or any other desired suitablev material.

In the construction shown the window casing includes a frame II which deiines the window 5 opening and contains on its inner surfacev the usual rabbet strip I2. This rabbet strip ison the inside of the frame, and with my construction it is not necessary to have an outer rabbet strip.

as 'by suitable screws I6. This track is disposed with one of its iianges projecting inwardly, and if desired, the saine screws which are utilizedv for the track may also be utilized for securing a Weather strip I1 of angular transverse section having one of its legs adapted to form an abut ting surface for the adjacent edgemargin ofthe window' sashes. Additional weather strips I1 may also be mounted along the sides of the frame II `for engagement by the outer edges of the sashes, when the sashes are closed.

At each outer corner of the window sashes at the top and bottom of their outer edges, there is provided a novel hinge member, generally indicated at I8, and having the construction Shown in detail in Figure 6. The specific construction shown in Figure 6 is adapted for mounting of the upper lefthand corner and the lower right hand corner of the window sashes as shown in Figure 40 1. It will be understood that the construction will have to be reversed as regards the hinges Aforthe lower left hand corner and the upper right hand corner of the sashes. It is thought that it will be unnecessary to describe both the right and left-hand constructions, and only one of these will be described herein.

Referring to Figure 6, the hinge comprises a pair of generallyl L-shaped wing members I9 and 20 which are pivoted as shown at 2| with one set of their legs connected together and their other set of legs extending outwardly from the pivotal connection. It will be noted that` this latter set of legs extends from the same end of the pivotal connection.

The wing I9 is provided with a plurality of face of the bottom and top of the rabbet strip I2 y frame for cooperation with a rail on the frame, said means comprising a rst plate to be secured to the sash and a second plate hinged to said first plate, a roller carried by said second plate and mounted rotatable thereon to ride on the rail, said first and said second plates being in spaced opposed relation to each other and with the roller disposed between them when they are in use on a sash in closed position, said second plate ,being provided with a flange disposed extending over said roller for the concealment of said roller.

7. Means for mounting a window sash on a frame for cooperation with a rail on the frame,

said means comprising a iirst L-shaped plate to be secured to the sash, a second L-shaped plate having its vertical arm hinged to the vertical arm of said first plate, a pair of rollers carried rotatable on the horizontal arm of said second plate, said rst and said second plates being disposed in spaced opposed relation and with the rollers between them when the plates are in use on a sash in closed position, said second plate having an edge portion bent to define a flange extending towards said rst plate for cooperation therewith to substantially house said rollers when the sash is in closed position.
