ABSTRACT:
A window having a frame and at least one sash that is at least partially removable from the frame. The frame includes a sash opening and at least one sash engaging surface. At least one sash having at least one frame engaging surface is slidably mounted in the sash opening of the frame so that the frame engaging surface at least partially engages the sash engaging surface. At least one sash stop is mounted in the frame and is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The sash stop is structured to maintain the sash in position in the sash opening when the sash stop is in the extended position. The sash stop includes resilient means between the frame and the sash stop for urging the sash stop into the extended position. At least one latch is rotatably mounted on the sash and positioned adjacent to the sash stop. The latch is rotatable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the latch does not engage the sash stop. In the open position, the latch engages and depresses the sash stop so that the sash may be at least partially removed from the frame past the sash stop. A method of making the window is also provided.
