The window sash is hung by a counterbalance and held at a selected desired position. The counterbalance is provided with a coiled torsion spring which counter balances the window sash, and the torsion force of the torsion spring can be adjusted. Adjusting mechanism is provided with a rotatable adjusting shaft for adjusting the torsion force of the torsion spring, a braking member for applying braking force to the adjusting shaft to prevent the rotation of the adjusting shaft, and a cam face for urging the braking member against the adjusting shaft to brake it or release it.
