ABSTRACT:
A compound counterbalance system for window sashes and the like, comprising: a biasing spring for easing operation of a window sash and the like, the biasing spring being movable at an inherently variable rate of force; a first biasing force transmission having a fixed rate of movement transmission part connected to the biasing spring and a variable rate of movement transmission part connected to the window sash and the like, the variable rate of movement transmission part having a variable rate of operation predetermined to automatically compensate for the variability of the biasing spring to provide substantial constancy of the biasing force throughout an operating range; and, a cable for interconnecting the biasing spring, the first biasing force transmission, and the window sash and the like, whereby loading forces on the first biasing force transmission are substantially constant throughout the operating range. The system may further comprise one or both of a second biasing force transmission connected intermediately of the variable rate of movement transmission part and the window sash and the like, for increasing the effective range of movement of the biasing spring; and, an adjuster for changing the effective magnitude of the biasing force throughout the operating range.
