The top-sash lock comprises a push-button 21 similarly connected to a bolt 22. The push-button 21 is received by a recess in the lower-sash stile faced with a striking plate 31 having an oblique lower portion, so that on raising the lower sash, the push-button 21 is pressed in and the top sash can be lowered. The shell 1 comprises two semicylindrical parts having a face-plate 2, a back-plate 3 connected to the body by dovetail tongues 4, Fig. 8, and the centrally-disposed stem 5 connecting the back and face plates. The tubular push-button 6 is connected to the hollow bolt 7 by a plate 8 having a tubular boss 18 surrounding the stem 5. The bolt 7, Fig. 3, has pivoted within it a guard trigger 9 having a curved face 12 and a heel 14. When the bolt is pushed in, the heel 14 hits against a tongue 20, struck up from the back-plate 3 of the shell, and raises the trigger so that the bolt cannot enter the notches in the rack. A spring 12<a> holds the trigger in its projected position. The bolt for the top sash has no guard trigger, and is formed with a square shoulder on its inclined face. The interchangeable rack 24, Fig. 9, is pressed from blank steel into channel section, and the sockets are formed having a vertical wall 25, a square shoulder 26, and an inclined face 27 to press against the inclined face of the bolt. To prevent the top-sash bolt from being opened from the outside, the top of the push-button 21, Fig. 14, is open, so that a dog 38<a> carried by the plate 31 may hang within it to prevent it from being pushed back. In a modification, Fig. 15, for the same purpose, a pivoted dog 40 engages with the face of the shell. The bolt of the bottom sash may be locked by forming the end 43, Fig. 16, of the push-button 6<a> with screw-threads, in order that the push-button may be so adjusted that when it is pushed in it will not release the bolt. Openings 37 are made in the back-plate of the lock shells to admit electric wires to give a signal when the bolts are being tampered with.

Title: Improvements in the Electric Ignition for Internal Combustion Engines.
IPC: F02P1/08
Filed: 1910-09-08
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 20,968. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. Nov. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Systems, electric.-In dual systems in which a battery or dynamo. is used at starting with the induction coil formed on the magneto armature, the battery h is connected across the mechanical interrupter d of the magneto, the current from the battery being commuted so as to oppose that generated in the armature a. With the interrupter closed, the magneto and battery are short-circuited; when the interrupter opens, as the engine is turned, the opposing currents die out quickly, and give a high voltage. An inductance l is in series with the battery to assist in the production of the spark, and prevent too large a current when the interrupter is closed. With multi-cylinder engines, a pushbutton o may be used to start the engine, the interrupter. being in its open position; it may be arranged as shown in parallel with the interrupter or in series with the battery or in parallel with the inductance; in either arrangement the opening or closing of the button varies the current passing through the armature a. A condenser may be used in conjunction with the button. A distributor p is arranged in the circuit of the secondary coil f. The arrangement of circuits obviates the use of rubbing contacts in the normal ignition circuit, the commutator m, n being used only at starting. A switch K in position A places the battery in circuit, in position M, the magneto works alone, and in position 0 both are inoperative. With a large battery an ordinary may replace the inductive resistance. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91(3) (a) states that the mechanicallycontrolled interrupter and the condenser are mounted on the armature; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
