Abstract
A sash platform for an automatic friction shoe connects to the shoe by means of a curved arm that fits into a correspondingly curved recess molded into the shoe body. An abutment limits the insertion of the curved arm into the shoe and holds a sash support blade at an operating level, and a curved holder surface supports the platform against the downward force of a sash. The shoe connects to a spring or counterbalance element and runs frictionally in a jamb liner channel.
