It sash to the chain no difficulty is found in winds around the driving spool b in :1 the way of thel .pin twisting away from similar way, thence runs over the directienthe sash plate. However, with a cable, the

. of its movement, anothe wouldbe very difficult to assemble the sash plate onto the regulator as is necessary on the job. The custom is to ist attach the regulator to the loclr board and foot board and then the windows are often put in after the job has been trimmed and painted. lt is necessary then to drop them down through the top slot of the windo-w well, and there must be' some reliable way of finding and holding the pin so as to slip the sash plate in' place, The saddle that l have designed accomplishes this purpose, as the major 'plate drops clear down over the side of the drum as shown in Fig. 5, while the rolls ride over the top of the drum. The flange n on the periphery of the drum rides in between the major plate and the rolls'. f' This causes the saddle to ride the flange and notthe cable and hence, relieves the cable of the weight of the sash. This is a very important point as it makes the cable of sufficiently long life to be practical.
Obviously,rthe large amount of plate at the side of the drum and the flange n will prevent the rolls from twisting off the top of the drum. This serves to anchor the pin from retreating from the sash plate as the sash plate is pushed down into the. window well to locate the pin in the sash plate slot, shown in Fig. 4.
, lith the saddleY having i a large portion of tlielpla-te abutting directly against the drum,
considerable chattering and rattling might take place, but to avoid this l use a bowed spring o which is looped over the metal plate between two pairs of struck out lugs g. This takes talres up any looseness and prevents chattering.
Secured to the top of the lregulator plate 7' is a stop pin s. This stops the saddle after the pin has slightly passed the vertical center line of the drum. The consequencel` is that in this position, the regula-tor is locked froniany actuation originating with the sash, as obviously the saddle cannot force the pin and this is theonly way the drum can be turned by such actuation after the saddle has passed the vertical center line. `When the sash reaches the downward limit stop t which is an integral part ofthe pulley-carrying yoke u stops the sash plate.
