Abrégé

A sliding window assembly including a window frame and at least three panes disposed within the window frame in offset vertical planes. The panes are arranged for sliding movement together upwardly within the window frame or together downwardly within the window frame. One or more of the panes can be fixed. The panes have a fully open position and a fully closed position. In the closed position, respective edges of the panes overlap while in the open position, the entire panes overlap. The panes can be connected to a counterweight arrangement by a pulley arrangement, which includes a vertically movable balancing weight that is equal to the weight of the panes, or the panes can be connected together to counterbalance each other.

A sliding window assembly (35) including a window frame and at least two glass panes (38, 39). At least one of the glass panes (38, 39) slides within the frame between an open position and a closed position, wherein one of the edges of each pane overlaps to form overlapping edges (42, 43). First and second rails (44, 45) are connected to the overlapping edges (42, 43) and cooperate to form a seal between them in the closed position. Each rail (44, 45) is formed from a metal component (46) and a plastic component (51) that are formed separate from each other and are assembled in nesting connection. The seal in the overlap between the overlapping edges (42, 43) in the closed position of the panes (38, 39) is formed between the plastic components (51) of the first and second rails (44, 45). The metal components (51) of the first and second rails (44, 45) are spaced from contact with each other and extend to overlie outwardly facing surfaces of the first and second panes (38, 39).

29 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A sliding window assembly (35) including a window frame and at least two glass panes (38, 39). At least one of the glass panes (38, 39) slides within the frame between an open position and a closed position, wherein one of the edges of each pane overlaps to form overlapping edges (42, 43). First and second rails (44, 45) are connected to the overlapping edges (42, 43) and cooperate to form a seal between them in the closed position. Each rail (44, 45) is formed from a metal component (46) and a plastic component (51) that are formed separate from each other and are assembled in nesting connection. The seal in the overlap between the overlapping edges (42, 43) in the closed position of the panes (38, 39) is formed between the plastic components (51) of the first and second rails (44, 45). The metal components (51) of the first and second rails (44, 45) are spaced from contact with each other and extend to overlie outwardly facing surfaces of the first and second panes (38, 39).

Abrégé

A sliding window assembly (20) including a sash (22, 23) mounted within a frame (21). The frame (21) includes a pair of spaced apart and parallel frame members (26) and a sash (22, 23) slidably mounted within the frame (21) between the frame members (22, 23) and defining a sash plane. A space S is provided between at least a first of the frame members (26) and a proximate edge of the sash (22, 23). The sash (22, 23) cooperates with a pair of brackets (44) which are slidable with the sash (22, 23) relative to the frame members (26). The brackets (44) are operable to support the weight of the sash (22, 23). A portion of at least one of the brackets (44) is being positioned within the space S between the frame member (26) and the proximate edge of the sash (22, 23) to limit movement of the sash (22, 23) in the plane of the sash (22, 23) between the frame members (26).
