A jamb liner is mounted in the side jamb tracks of a window frame to mount window units of double hung windows for slidable movement between opened and closed positions. The liner includes transversely spaced channel guides, each guide mounting a guide member that is attached to the adjacent window unit. Flanges are joined to the guides for forming a close fit with the adjacent window unit while, to each guide, there is joined a wing to form a seal with the web of the adjacent jamb to block fluid flow between the window units and the side jamb from one transverse side of the unit sash to the other. The wings of the liner are arcuately curved to transversely diverge from one another in a direction toward the jamb web. The wings are of a substantially greater resiliency than the rest of the liner, said rest of the liner being semi-rigid and made of extruded plastic.
A longitudinally elongated liner mountable in a recessed track of a window frame having a window frame opening for abutting against the sash of a window unit that is mounted for slidable movement in the window frame, comprising a longitudinally elongated main body that includes a longitudinally elongated channel guide, the guide including transversely spaced first and second side walls that have front edges and a rear wall extending between and joined to the side walls, and means joined to the channel guide for extension into the recessed track for mounting the guide to the window frame, said means including first and second retainer flanges, and a wing affixed to the main body to extend the longitudinal length of the main body and rearwardly of the main body, said wing having a free terminal longitudinal edge, and a fluid sealing portion extending the longitudinal length of the main body for forming a fluid seal with the window frame rearwardly of the main body, at least said fluid sealing portion of the wing being of a substantially greater resiliency than the main body.
A longitudinally elongated jamb liner mountable in a recessed track of a window jamb of a window frame having a window frame opening to cooperate with a sash of a window unit to mount the window unit fur slidable movement in the window frame, comprising a main body that is made of plastic and is at least semi-rigid, the main body including a pair of longitudinally elongated, transversely spaced first and second channel guides, each guide having transversely spaced first and second side walls and a rear wall extending between the side walls, and retainer flanges joined to the channel guides adapted to extend into the recessed track for mounting the guides to the window frame, and a first and a second arcuately curved wing joined to the first and second guides respectively, the wings being arcuately curved to extend rearwardly of the guides in a diverging relationship to one another, the wings along their arcuate widths being of a much greater resiliency than the main body.
