Abstract
A sash guide for a hung window includes a plate having a first end and an opposite second end defining a longitudinal axis. The first end configured to mount to a side rail of a window sash and the second end having an outside surface spaced from the side rail in a transverse direction. The transverse direction being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. A cam block is disposed proximate the second end and between the plate and the side rail. An adjustment fastener is coupled to the cam block and configured to slide the cam block along the longitudinal axis such that the outside surface of the second end is adjustable along the transverse direction and in relation to the side rail.
Claims20
A sash guide for a hung window, the sash guide comprising:
- a plate having a first end and an opposite second end defining a longitudinal axis, the first end configured to mount to a side rail of a window sash and the second end having an outside surface spaced from the side rail in a transverse direction, wherein the transverse direction is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
- a cam block disposed proximate the second end and between the plate and the side rail;
- and
- an adjustment fastener coupled to the cam block, wherein the adjustment fastener is configured to slide the cam block along the longitudinal axis such that the outside surface of the second end is adjustable along the transverse direction and in relation to the side rail.
A sash guide comprising:
- a mounting plate configured to mount to a side rail of a window sash;
- an arm extending from the mounting plate;
- a cam block disposed between the arm and the side rail, wherein the cam block is slidable relative to both the arm and the side rail;
- and
- an adjustment screw coupled to the cam block and configured to extend from a top rail of the window sash, wherein the adjustment screw is configured to drive the sliding movement of the cam block so as to selectively position a free end of the arm relative to the side rail.
A window sash comprising:
- a top rail;
- a side rail;
- and
- a sash guide comprising:
- a plate having a first end and an opposite second end, the first end coupled to the side rail and the second end positioned proximate the top rail with an outside surface selectively positionable a distance from the side rail in a direction that extends along the top rail;
- a cam block disposed between the second end and the side rail;
- and
- an adjustment fastener coupled to the cam block and accessible from the top rail, wherein the adjustment fastener is configured to slide the cam block against the side rail so as to define the distance of the outside surface of the second end relative to the side rail.
