Abstract
A sealing mechanism for mounting to one window around a periphery, or the window sash, thereof and being movable to make contact with a surface of another window to create a seal or insulation between the two windows. The sealing mechanism comprises a frame having a first gasket and a second gasket attached on the frame for cooperating with side surfaces on said two windows. A driving mechanism which comprises a rack feed gear and a rack bar movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the frame by the feed gear which is provided on one window to convert a linear movement of the rack bar into a backward or forward movement of the frame so as to effect a seal or insulation between an inner side and an outer side defined by the window set by bringing the first gasket in contact with the side surface of said one window and simultaneously bringing the second gasket in contact with the side surface of said another window.
