Abstract
Abstract A double window construction and particularly an interior storm window construction wherein the framing or frame of the storm window is uniquely configured to provide both window support for the storm windows installed and also a smooth interior finish relative to the window opening being accommodated. The windows themselves are chamfered at their outer edges to provide for ease of installation in tracks or channels formed by resilient ribs. The sides of each rectangular storm window, as to the frame, are generally L-configured in transverse cross-section and include outwardly facing support ribs for providing support as well as space to receive a settable fluid substance such as silicone rubber, whereby to provide a secure support for the frame. The inner edges of the frame sides are preferably cut at the job site to abut directly the interior surface of the existing window frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
An interior storm window construction including, in combination, a four-sided frame each side of which has a generally L-shaped transverse cross-section and is provided with a plurality of inwardly directed channel-forming ribs defining window-receiving channels and outwardly directed support ribs, said frame being provided with respective sets of fluid-admitting apertures between successive pairs of said support ribs, windows disposed in said channels, said frame being provided with an on-the-job-site-cut, installed-window-frame abutment edge disposed inwardly of said channel-forming ribs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
An interior storm window construction including, in combination, a four-sided frame each side of which has a generally L-shaped transverse cross-section and is provided with a plurality of inwardly directed channel-forming ribs defining window-receiving channels and outwardly directed support ribs, said frame being provided with respective sets of fluid-admitting apertures between successive pairs of said support ribs, windows disposed in said channels, said frame being provided with an on-the-job-site-cut, installed-window-frame abutment edge disposed inwardly of said channel-forming ribs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said sides of said frame are of extruded plastic providing resiliency to said channel-forming ribs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein a settable fluid media is disposed into and through said apertures of said sets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The structure of claim 2 wherein said windows have chamfered outer edges.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
104 words
In combination, structure forming a window opening, an outer window frame installed at said opening, and in inner window frame installed at said opening inwardly of said outer window frame, said inner window frame comprising four sides forming a rectangle, each of said sides comprising an inner flange and an outer casement flange integral therewith in essentially 90° relationship, said inner flange having inwardly directed mutually spaced ribs forming window-receiving channels and also outwardly projecting support ribs directed toward said opening, said inner flange also having a job-site-cut edge formed to abut said outer window frame, said window frames being constructed to receive windows.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
104 words
In combination, structure forming a window opening, an outer window frame installed at said opening, and in inner window frame installed at said opening inwardly of said outer window frame, said inner window frame comprising four sides forming a rectangle, each of said sides comprising an inner flange and an outer casement flange integral therewith in essentially 90° relationship, said inner flange having inwardly directed mutually spaced ribs forming window-receiving channels and also outwardly projecting support ribs directed toward said opening, said inner flange also having a job-site-cut edge formed to abut said outer window frame, said window frames being constructed to receive windows.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The structure of claim 5 wherein said inner flange is provided with respective sets of apertures disposed between respective pairs of said support ribs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The structure of claim 6 wherein said channel-forming ribs are resilient, whereby to sealingly grip windows placed in said channels.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The structure of claim 6 wherein a settable fluid substance is introduced within said apertures between said inner flange and said window-forming structure.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said frame includes slide strips disposed over respective ones of said sets of apertures as are present between said channel-forming ribs.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
48 words
A window frame side extrusion comprising a pair of elongate, integral, 90°-related flanges, and plural sets of mutually spaced ribs means disposed on opposite sides of one of said flanges, said one flange being provided with respective sets of settable-fluid-receiving apertures disposed between opposite sets of said ribs.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
48 words
A window frame side extrusion comprising a pair of elongate, integral, 90°-related flanges, and plural sets of mutually spaced ribs means disposed on opposite sides of one of said flanges, said one flange being provided with respective sets of settable-fluid-receiving apertures disposed between opposite sets of said ribs.
