Abstract:

Tiltable window construction having metallic sash and frames. There is disclosed a window construction adapted for manufacture from metallic components such as extruded aluminum, arranged for embodiment as a double-hung window, capable of simple and rapid tilting inwardly of the building for washing and/or other treatment. The sash are also capable of quick and easy removal in their entirety from the window frame but are tightly and reliably sealed thereto when in use for the effective prevention of the entry of wind and water. Each sash of the window is held by simple latch mechanism in normal sliding condition and when tilted inwardly automatically becomes locked into the then-existing position. Other features include easy adaptability to placement of a fixed sash within a given frame for use with the movable sash, for relating to an adjacent picture window or other windows, adapted for closing an otherwise relatively large window opening in the building and for quick and easy adjustment to fit and be properly aligned in a window opening whose sides are slightly concave.
