The window-frame A is formed with the usual vertical runways B, in which the lower sash-frame C and upper sash-frame D are adapted to move in the usual manner by, meansnfsash-weights: Fitting snugly within "lower sash-frame Cis the removable glasscarrying frame E. H The front side of top rail 0' offrame 0 forms a rabbet, and fitting hind it is the rabbet E" on the rear side of 'the top rail of frameE. The positions of the rabbets on the lower rail of the said frames are reversed, se that by inserting the upper end of'removable frame E with bead E behind the rabbeirof rail 0 the frame It may then be pushed to place in frame O, with both of the horizontal meeting edges of said frame The inconvenience and danger of cleansealed by the rabbets, as shown in Fig. 2. The stiles of lower frame 0, as well as the stiles of the removable frame, are also rabbeted, as shown at F, to make tight joints.

The upper ends of removable frame G and sash-frame D, in which it fits, are rabbeted at H in a manner similar to the corresponding .parts, of the lower sash, and thesame is true of the stiles of the upper sash and fraine, as indicated at I. The lower rail .of removable frame G is also rabbeted to fit the rabbeted lower rail of frame D, and in addition to this'said rail at its front side is formed with projecting extremities K, which make a tight fit between the meeting-rails of the sashes when the window is closed.
