Adjustable window frame
Abstract
Abstract THE INVENTION IS AN ADJUSTABLE WINDOW FRAME WHICH IS EASILY AND EFFECTIVELY WEATHER-STRIPPED. THE ADJUSTABLE FEATURE IS CONTAINED IN PAIRS OF SPACED OPPOSED STOP STRIPS COMPRISING PORTIONS OF THE FRAME, ONE OF WHICH STOP STRIPS OF A PAIR BEING ADJUSTABLY MOUNTED RELATIVE THE OTHER STOP STRIP OF THE PAIR. BOTH STOP STRIPS CAN BE ARCUATE IN CROSS SECTION AND ARE SERRATED ON OPPOSED SURFACES. WHEN THE FRAME IS POSITIONED THROUGH THE WALL AND WINDOW PANES ARE INSERTED INTO THE FRAME, THE OPPOSED ADJUSTABLE STOP STRIS ENGAGE THE SURROUNDING WALL AND THE SURROUNDING PANES OF GLASS AT A SLIGHT ANGLE LEAVING A SMALL CREVICE WHICH IS FILLED BETWEEN THE WALLS AND THE STRIPS AND BETWEEN THE PANE OF GLASS AND THE STRIPS WITH CAULKING AND GLAZING MATERIAL PRIOR TO FRAME INSTALLATION. ON SECURING THE WINDOW FRAME THE ADJUSTABLE STOP STRIP IS FORCED INWARD CAUSING BOTH IT AND THE OTHER PERMANENTLY FIXED STOP STRIP TO MOVE FROM A CONVERGING TO A PARALLEL PATH WHICH IN TURN COMPRESSES THE SEALING MATERIAL AGAINST THE WINDOW PANE AND THE WALL GIVING AN EXCELLENT GRIPPING, SECURING AND SEALING OPERATION.
