Estimating the term…
A double hung window assembly includes a rectangular frame formed by a pair of vertical jamb members connected by a horizontal sill member and a horizontal head member. Each of the members comprises a one-piece extrusion of rigid plastics material, and the members are rigidly connected with upper and lower welded mitered corner joints. The jamb and sill members have outer walls for the rough window opening and laterally spaced inner sloping walls which mate at the bottom corner joints. The jamb members also have inner channel walls spaced laterally inwardly of the corresponding sloping walls to define channels for receiving hardware for upper and lower sash frames each including extrusions of rigid plastics material. The one-piece head member has an outer wall integrally connected to a laterally inwardly spaced inner wall and channel walls which mate with the corresponding outer walls and inner channel walls of the jamb members at the upper corner joints, and the inner channel walls of the head member receive the upper sash frame.
A frame for a double hung window assembly, comprising a pair of vertical jamb members connected by a horizontal sill member and a horizontal one-piece head member, all of said members including extrusions of rigid plastics material joined together by upper and lower welded mitered corner joints, said sill and jamb members each having an outer wall adapted to fit within a rough window opening and integrally connected to a laterally spaced inner sloping wall, said outer walls and said inner sloping walls of said sill and jamb members mating at said lower mitered corner joints, said jamb members each having inner channel walls projecting laterally inwardly of the corresponding said inner sloping wall and defining channels adapted to receive hardware for supporting upper and lower sash frames, said one-piece head member having an outer wall and integrally connected inner channel walls mating at said upper mitered corner joints with corresponding said outer walls and said channel walls of said jamb members, and said inner channel walls of said head member are spaced to receive said upper sash frame.
