A sash weight allows one to open a window that slides up and have it stay there, rather than fall back down due to its weight. The weight also offers assistance to the person opening the window, especially if it's heavy. The part of the window that slides up and down is called the sash. The sash weight is a counterbalance connected to the window via a sash cord which goes over a pulley at the top of the window frame. As the window is opened by pulling it up, the sash weight moves down in a space behind the wall and is thus not visible.
A more modern way of accomplishing the same task is to use a sash balance, which is a cable or tape wound tightly in a spring-loaded mechanism that offers a certain amount of resistance to the unwinding force of the window opening.
A similar use of this pulley system can be found in an elevator with counterweights.
