GEORGE srNcAK, OF VDI'IDeriai-Ponfr, *CONNECTICVUD COMBINED WINDOW AND TRANSOM.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 19, 1921.
Application filed June 10, 1920. Serial NO.`38'7,898.
To all whom t may concern: r. 1.
Be it known that I, GEORGE SINCAK, a citizen of the United States, -residing' in the city of Bridgeport, county ofFairlield, and
State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Windows and Transoms; and'I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
y This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a combination window and transom, andv it has for an object to provide a novel construction of upper sash embodying a transom section which is hinged on the upper edge of the upper sash body whereby said transom part may be opened for the purpose of ventilation irrespective of the sash.
The invention further resides in an improved transom operating mechanism designed for supporting a window shade whereby the latter will not interfere with the opening of the transom and will be disposed out of the wind so that it will not be blown and flapped thereby.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a vertical fragmentary section of the improved window construction depicting the transom operating mechanism in side elevation; and
Fig. 2 is a front elevation ofthe mechanism and a fragment of the transom window.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the lower sliding sash and 2 the upper sliding sash to the upper or top rail of which is hingedly connected, as at 3, the transom 4l which may be considered as a component part of the upper sash and is slidable therewith. The outer lower edge of the transom is downturned into an Overhanging lip 5 which functions as a watershed for the joint between the transom and the top rail of the upper sash.
The transom operating mechanism is car- Y ried by the upper sash and consists of a link 6 pivoted at one end to the transom and at its opposite end to a collar 7 which is fixed on a vertically slidable rod 8. This rod is slidable through a vertical bearing 9 of the bracket 10 and is provided on its inner side with a vertical series of-notches or seats 11 in which a pawl or plunger 12 is adapted to have selective engagement. The pawl is yieldably projected into the bearing 9, being backed by a coiled spring 13 withina socket 14 communicating with said bearing. The bracket is secured to the upper sash in proX- imlty to the transom and is provided with a shade seat -15 for receiving one trunnion or bea-ring of the shade 16, the opposite end of the .shade roller being supportedin a companion transom lifting mechanism, or merely a shade bracket alone, disposed on the op` poslte side of the window. A stop collar 17 1s liXed on the upper end of the operatin rod 8, to prevent accidental withdrawal o the same from its bearing, while a guide ring or collar 18 is secured to the window jamb 19 to slidably embrace the lower en-d of the rod immediately above the finger piece 20.
'Ihe operation is obvious from the foregoing, since to obtain the desired ventilation the transom is opened by pulling down on the rod 8. When the transom is thus opened and both sashes locked together the two sashes may be moved upwardly as a unit to provide a small Ventilating opening at the bottom through which an intruder cannot gain entrance because the sashes are locked together and may not be moved independently of one another.
On the other hand, if the sashes are unlocked each may be shifted independently of each other, and without the shade becoming entangled. Furthermore the shade is hung from the upper sash so that it will never be opposite an opening for being blown and flapped by the wind. The con-` struction is simple and easily operated, the transom being retained at a predetermined angular adjustment by the yieldable pawl. When the upper sash is moved vertically, the rod 8 will merely slide in its fixed guide 18 while the remainder of the mechanism bodily moves with the sash.
What is claimed is:
1. A window construction including a slidable upper sash, a transom hinged to the top rail thereof, a combined shade bracket and rod guide liXed on the sash and formed with la shade seat and an outwardly disposed vertical bearing, a rod slidable in the 105 bearing and formed on its inner side Ywith a series of notches, a spring pressed pawl in the bearing for engaging in-the notches to hold the rod adjusted, a link connection between the transom and the rod, and a second guide for the rod fXed to the window j amb.
' 2. In a window construction inclu-ding a slidable upper sash, a transom hinged to the top rail thereof, a combined shade'bracket and rod guide fixed on the sash and formed with a shade seat and an outwardly disposed Y Vertical bearing, a rod slidable in the bearf ing, and formed on its inner side with a.
series of'notch'es, a spring-pressedpawl in the bearing for engaging in the notches to hold the rod adjusted, and a link connecting the transom 'to the rod. Y Y Y 3. A window v construction including a slidable upper sash, a transom hinged to the top rail thereof, a combined shade bracket and rod `guide fixed on Jthe sash and-'formedy with a shade seat and an outwardly disposed Vertical bearing, a rod slidable in the bearing, means for holding the rod adjusted, and means for connecting the rod to thev transom'. Y Y
4. A` window .lconstruction including a slidable upper sash, a transom hinged to` the top rail thereof, and means carried by 'the sash for opening the transom.
5. A window construction including a slidablc upper sash, a transom hinged to the top rail thereof, a combined shade bracket and rod guide fixedV on the sash, and means connected to the transom and operating through the guidevfor opening the transom.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature. 5'0
