ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to mounting of a sash in a frame, more particularly to a mounting system for a window sash in a window in which the window can be made an inswing, an outswing or a double-hung window, by shifting or replacing a frame-to-sash bracket, and the change can be made from the interior of the building on the window mounted in the building wall; and in which the glazing can be installed in the same opening of a sash in any of a plurality of locations between the interior and exterior face of the sash from the interior of the building while the sash is fixed or swingably mounted in the wall.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A three-window PRIOR ART assembly
20
is shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
.
Outswing window sash
24
swings toward the exterior
28
of the building in which assembly
20
is mounted. The building is not shown.
Glazing
30
is held between U-shaped bead bracket
34
and L-shaped bead bracket
38
. Bead bracket
38
is an integrally extruded portion of vertical stile
42
. Bead bracket
34
is held on vertical stile
42
by bracket receiver structure
48
which is an integrally extruded portion of vertical stile
42
.
L-shaped bead bracket
66
is an integrally extruded portion of vertical stile
68
. Bead bracket
72
is held on vertical stile
68
by bracket receiver structure
74
which is an integrally extruded portion of vertical stile
68
.
When window sash
24
is drawn back into window frame jambs
50
and
52
, sash-to-frame closure bracket
56
closes to exterior face
58
of jamb
50
, and vertical stile
42
closes to frame-to-sash closure bracket
60
.
Sash-to-frame closure bracket
56
is an integrally extruded portion of vertical stile
42
. Frame-to-sash closure bracket
60
is an integrally extruded portion of jamb
50
.
Glazing
30
cannot be installed in window sash
24
from the interior
32
of the building when the sash is installed in the window frame because insertion of the glazing from the interior or room side against glazing bead brackets
34
and
72
is prevented by L-shaped bead bracket
38
which is permanently attached to stile
42
and by L-shaped bracket
66
which is permanently fixed to vertical stile
68
.
Window sash
24
includes vertical stiles
42
and
68
. The sash cannot be installed in window frame
76
which includes jambs
50
and
52
, from the interior of the building when the window frame is installed in the wall of the building, because insertion of the sash from the interior or room side into frame
76
is prevented by frame-to-sash closure bracket
60
which is permanently attached to window frame jamb
50
, frame-to-sash closure bracket
78
which is permanently fixed to window frame jamb
52
, sash-to-frame closure bracket
56
which is permanently attached to stile
42
, and sash-to-frame closure bracket
77
which is an integrally extruded portion of stile
68
permanently attached thereto.
Window sash
24
can be installed in window frame
76
only from one side of the window when the window is installed in a wall of a building, that is from the exterior of the building.
Glazing
30
can be installed in window sash
24
only from one side of the window when the window is installed in a wall. That is from the exterior
28
of the building, by inserting glazing
30
in between stiles
42
and
68
against permanent beads
38
and
66
, and then snapping bead bracket
34
onto stile
42
by bracket receiver structure
48
and snapping bead bracket
72
onto stile
68
by bracket receiver structure
74
.
Window frame
104
includes jamb
52
and jamb
106
.
Glazing
96
of non-swing window
100
cannot be installed in window frame
104
from the interior
32
of the building when the window frame is installed in the wall of the building because frame-to-glazing bead L-shaped bracket
110
and frame-to-glazing bead L-shaped bracket
112
prevent insertion of glazing
96
from the room or interior
32
side.
Bead bracket
110
is an integrally extruded portion of jamb
52
, permanently attached thereto. Bead bracket
112
is an integrally extruded portion of jamb
106
, permanently attached thereto.
Glazing
96
can be installed in window frame
104
only from one side of the window frame when the window frame is installed in a building wall. That is from the exterior
28
of the building, by inserting glazing
96
in between jambs
52
and
106
, against permanent bead brackets
110
and
112
. Then U-shaped bead bracket
118
is snapped onto jamb
52
by bracket receiver structure
120
which is an integrally extruded portion of jamb
52
, permanently attached thereto. And U-shaped bead bracket
124
is snapped onto jamb
106
by bracket receiver structure
126
which is an integrally extruded portion of jamb
106
, permanently attached thereto.
Inswing window sash
130
of window
132
swings toward the interior
32
of the building. Sash
130
includes stiles
134
and
136
. Window frame
140
includes jambs
108
and
144
.
Sash
130
cannot be installed in window frame
140
from the exterior
28
of the building when the window frame is installed in the wall of the building. Insertion of sash
130
into frame
140
from the exterior of the building is prevented by stile-to-frame closure brackets
146
and
148
.
Bracket
146
is an integrally extruded portion of stile
134
, permanently attached thereto. Bracket
148
is an integrally extruded portion of stile
136
, permanently attached thereto.
Insertion of sash
130
into frame
140
is also prevented by frame to stile closure brackets
154
and
158
.
Bracket
154
is an integrally extruded portion of window jamb
108
, permanently attached thereto. Bracket
158
is an integrally extruded portion of jamb window jamb
144
, permanently attached thereto.
Glazing
152
of sash
130
cannot be installed in window frame
140
from the exterior of the building when the sash is closed in frame
140
in the building wall. Insertion of glazing
152
into frame
140
to glazing bead brackets
166
and
168
is prevented by L-shaped glazing bead brackets
170
and
172
.
Bracket
170
is an integrally extruded portion of stile
134
. Bracket
172
is an integrally extruded portion of stile
136
.
Sash
130
and glazing
152
can be installed from the interior or room side of the building when window
132
is installed in the wall of the building.
Glazing
152
is installed by inserting the glazing from the room side, between stiles
134
and
136
until the glazing abuts against permanent glazing bead brackets
170
and
172
. Then glazing bead bracket
166
is snapped onto bracket receiver structure
176
which is an integrally extruded portion of stile
134
. And glazing bead bracket
168
is snapped onto bracket receiver structure
178
which is an integrally extruded portion of stile
136
.
If inswing and outswing windows are required in the same opening, two separate windows mulled together would be provided.
