Abstract
A window support system for a bay or bow window to be installed on a home or other building wherein the system is secured to the head board and seat board of the unit and wherein the system comprises a vertically extending hollow pipe or solid rod disposed between inner and outer panes of glass which is secured in place by means of standard fastening devices both to the head board and seat board and wherein a turnbuckle is disposed between two threaded rods and at an angle of preferably 221/2 or 45 degrees from the head board. A standard pipe elbow is employed between the vertically extending rod or tool and the threaded rod to maintain the angle to the head board. An eye bolt is affixed to the existing house header and a second threaded rod having a hook on one end, distant from the turnbuckle, for cooperation with the eye bolt. Upon installation of the window the turnbuckle can therefore be rotated in either direction to properly level and secure the window to the house.
