SASH-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part olf Letters Patent No. 326,848, dated September 22, 1885. Application filed hIarch 12, 1885. (Model.)
.T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARY O. COLE, of Letts, in the county of Louisa and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Fasteners; and I do hereby de- Clare the following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in window-fasteners; and it consists in, first, the combination of the upper sash with a suitable casting secured thereto, a catch which is pivoted in the casting, a spring for forcing the catch upward when it is left free to move, and a rod which extends down in front ofthe upper sash from the top of the window-frame; second, the combination of the rod which extends down in front of the upper sash, the catch which is pivotell to the casting on the top of the lower sash, a connecting wirel or chain attached to the outer end of the catch, the hand-hold which is secured to the lower latch of the lower sash, and a thumb-piece which is connected to the lower end of the connecting wire or chain.
The object of my invention is to provide a cheap and simple fastening for window-sash es, by means of which the sashes will be supported in any position into which they may be moved, and securely locked in whatever position they may be left.
Figure l is a vertical section taken through the window-frame to one side of the fastening devices. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of my invention complete. Fig. 3 is a detail view.
A represents the window-frame; B, the upper and C the lower sash.
Secured to the inner side of the top rail of the upper sash is a casting, D, which has a suitable recess formed in its outer end, and in this recess is pivoted the latch F. Upon the inner end ofthe latch F is formed a T-shaped projection, c, which extends vertically downward, and which catches in the recess in the casting and forms the pivot upon which the catch moves. Through this catch near its outer end is formed an opening, through which passes the rod G, which is secured to the top of the windowfra1ne,and which extends down in front of the lower sash and partly past the upper latch of the lower one.
Secured to the under side of the top latch ofthe top sash is a suitable spring, H, which has its outer free end to bear against the under side ot' the catch F and hold it pressed upward whenever the catch is left free to move. This spring keeps the catch F pressed upward at such an angle that it exerts a frictional contact upon the rod G to such an extent that the upper sash cannot be moved until the outer free end of the catch has been drawn down intoahorizontal position. Vhen in a horizontal position the catch slides freely over the rod, so as to allow the sash to be raised or lowered at will; but the moment the catch is released it is forced upward by the spring,and then exerts sufficient frictional contact upon the rod G to hold the sash supported in any position that may be desired. Vhen the sash is moved all the way up this catch automatically instantly locks it in position. To the outer end ot' this catch may be attached a wire, cord, or chain by means of which it can be readily operated from the floor.
Upon the top rail ot' the lower sash is secured a casting, I. to which is pivoted a catch, J, which has a flange. K, formed across its under side. This catch is pivoted through or loosely attached to the casting in any suitable manner, and between the casting and the catch is placed a coiled spring. L. The lower portion of this spring is held in a recess which is formed in the casting, for the purpose of preventing the spring from becoming displaced. The flange which is formed on the under side of the catch serves as a stop to prevent the catch from being moved downward below a horizontal position. The lower end of the rod G passes through an opening in the casting I, and also through the catch J. The spring serves to force the catch J upward, so that when left free to move it will stand at an angle to the rod G, and thus exert a frictional contact upon the rod for the purpose either of supporting the s'ash in any desired position or locking it in place. Upon one side of this catch J is formed a ilange, N, lthrough which is passed a set-screw, O, and by means of which the catch can be rigidly locked. to the rod G, so as to prevent the sash from being moved either up or down. To the outer end of this catch J is secured a connecting chain or wire, P, which has its lower end connected to a pivoted catch, Q, in the frame W, on which the handy hold A is formed. The pivoted catch has a thumb-piece, R, formed upon it, and which projects over thetop of they hand-hold, so that when the hand-hold is caught between the irst nger and the thumb this pivoted catch will be caught hold of and pressed down, so as to operate the catch J at the same time. By moving the catch J into a horizontal position it will slide freely over the rod G, and thus not interfere with the movement of the lower sash in either direction.
Placed upon the bottom of the frame A is the stationary catch S, under which the lower end of the catch Q, catches for the purpose of helping t0 lock the lower sash when closed. If the glass in the sash should be broken or cut l. The combination of the upper sash, the
recessed casting secured thereto, the catch which is provided with a T-shaped projection, a, for catching in the recess inthe casting, the rod which extends downward in front of `the upper sash, and the spring which forces the catch upward, substantially as shown.
2. The combination of the rod G, which hangs down in front of the upper sash, the catch J, placed upon the top of the lower sash, a connecting rod or chain, P, the catch Q, pivoted upon the lower sash, and the hand-hold, substantially as described.
Intestimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CARY O. COLE.
