Brake Shoe and Stop that Interlock to Prevent Window Sash Drift During Use
A system and method for inhibiting inadvertent movement of a window sash out of a fully open position. The window sash is set in guide tracks. The window sash engages brake shoes that travel up and down in the guide tracks. A stop is mounted within the guide tracks. The brake shoe and the stop have a connector that joins the brake shoe to the stop when the window sash is moved to its fully open position. The brake shoe is separable from the stop when a closing force is manually applied to the window sash. The force applied must exceed a threshold level. In this manner, the window sash will remain in its fully open position and will not inadvertently drift closed due to gravity, vibrations, or friction with another window sash.
