United States Patent O This invention relates to the combination of a jalousie window with a removable screen. In my prior application on a jalousie storm sash and screen, Serial No. 292,802, tiled J une ll, 1952, I have described a combination jalousie storm window and screen. It is the object of the present invention to use a combination Venetian panel window and screen as a prime window. To this end I have designed a frame that can be made out of light aluminum or other metal and which is arranged to be set and fastened into the window frame opening. This frame is arranged to support and contain both a removable screen and a plurality of window panels which are caused to swing on center pivots and which are supported by a novel rail at each end which can be stamped out of strip metal and economically made.

Another feature is the panels have overlap flanges that engage the inside of the window frame pillar above the pivot andthe outside of the pillar below the pivot, thereby giving good weather sealing performance. The panels,

when closed, are all in one plane and flush with one another.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the prime window formed of Venetian panels.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary front elevation of the same showing the rail which supports the end of the glass panel.

Figs. 4 and 5 are cross sections taken on the correspondingly numbered lines of Fig. 3.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary longitudinal section through one of the panels and a cross section through the rail and the metal window frame.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail fragmentary character showing the ends of two glass panels at their meeting edges and showing how the rail overlap ange crosses over from behind the upper panel to in front of the lower panel.

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary elevational and sectional view showing a part ofthe operating mechanism.

Fig. 9 is a fragmentary perspective showing one of the supporting rails engaging the glass.

The window frame is constructed of light sheet aluminum or any other suitable metal. It is stamped out and folded to form a frame, the sill of which is of general Z shape, providing a doubled over flange 1 at the bottom and rear. The header is folded over at the top to form a flange 2. The side frame memberis folded over to form a Z cross section liange 3 which provides a recess 4 of angle section. The screen, when used, is slipped into the header channel and dropped into the channel 6 formed at the foot. The top frame member or header is doubled over to provide a ange 7 and the metal forming this flange extends beyond and is doubled over to form a second iiange 8 at right angles. An angle strip 9 is welded to the flange 7. These folded-over members and the angle strip 9 form a channel 10 at the top of the frame. This forms a header of open box section. The vertical pillars of the window frame are of open box section and are pro- 2,813,314 i Patented Nov. 19, 1957 er' n ice 2 j, vided with open box section window stops `121 in the form of channels. t

The sheet metal louver clip which supports the end of the glass panel is formed of a strip of metal which is doubled upon itself to form walls 14 and 16 which provide a channel which straddles each end of each glass panel. Lugs 15 are provided at the top `and the bottom of the channel to iiir the channel on the glass. This strip has an overlap ilange that projects from the channel. This overlap flange at the front is designated 17. This is the lower half of the overlap llange. The channel for the upper half of the flange is depressed to form a portion 21 which is connected with the front flange by a cross-over portion 20 which is of half U shape. The overlap portion 21 overlaps the window stop on the inside while the portion 17 overlaps the window stop on the outside of the stop. The half U cross over portion has its edge fitting into a similarly shaped groove 33 in the face of the pillar or window stop to seal against the weather at this point (see Fig. 7).

The pintle 23 is riveted to the bottom of the window rail channel and to the outside of the Window stop or pillar 12.

The Window supporting rail and its overlap flange 21 has a continuation which forms a wing 35. To this wing is pivoted a draft link 24. This draft link is pivoted to all wings on the rails for all the jalousie glass panels. The two draft links at the two ends of the panels may be operated by means of the toothed hand wheel 25. Taking hold of one wheel or both Wheels with one or both hands one can turn the wheel or wheels clockwise as is shown in Fig. 8, thereby pulling down the draft link 24 which is connected with the wheel 2S by the link 26. This will cause the parts to shift as shown in the dotted lines of Fig. 8, thereby swinging the glass panels on their pivots and causing them to open as shown in the dotted lines of Fig. 2.

On the top of each glass panel is fitted an H section plastic strip 27 which causes the channels to be Weather sealed at their meeting edges. The top panel sealing strip bears against the wall 9 of the header channel and provides a weather seal at this point. The sill of the metal window frame is doubled upon itself twice to form rectangularly placed anges 2S and 29. The iiange 28 is dropped down from the main portion of the sill to form a recess 31 in which is placed a soft sealing strip 32.

What I claim is:

l. A jalousie window having in combination a sheet metal window frame formed out of metal stampings to provide the four frame members, to wit the header provided with a depending header flange, a sill and the two side vertical members, each of which is provided with a portion forming a window stop, a plurality of louvers provided each with a glass panel and sheet metal louver clips at the panel ends pivotally supported at midway their ends in the plane of the glass panels to close with all the panels in one plane and flush with one another, a pintle supported on the Window stop portion of'the vertical frame members for so supporting the louver clip, said clips having extended portions in their upper sections, a draft link pivotally connected to said extending portions, means for pulling and pushing said draft link to open or close the louvers, each clip comprises a stamped sheet metal strip folded to provide a channel to straddle the end edge of the glass panel and folded to provide an overlap ilange projecting from the ends of the glass panels and having the top portion depressed to form a flange to overlap and contact the window stop on the inside while the remainder of the overlap liange overlaps and contacts the window stop on the outside, the two portions of the overlap llange being connected by a cross-over portion of half U shape.

2. The combination claimed in claim 1 in which the door stop face has a half U shaped groove to engage the end of the half U cross over portion to weather seal.

3. The combination claimed in claim 1 in which the upper portion of the overlap flange has a turned back extension forming a wing to which the draft link can b'e pivoted.
