Abstract: 30,310. Monk, G. Dec. 28. Fastenings for hinged windows.- A casement window a and an outside draught - excluding frame e are pivoted on the same pivots to the fixed frame h so that the casement may be opened outwards with the weather-guard automatically locked to it, or inwards, leaving the weather - guard locked to the frame. Fig. 3 shows both casement and weather-guard opened outwards separately. On the weather-guard c is secured a casing g containing spring catches i, q, which engage keepers n, o on the frame h and casement a respectively. If, when the casement is turned inwards and the guard e is locked to the frame h, the casement is turned outwards, the keeper o enters a slot in the casing g, releases the catch i by engaging the inclined part k on the catch, and engages the catch q so that the guard e is unlocked from the frame and swings out with, and locked to, the casement. When the casement is turned back into the room, the keeper o is released from the catch q, and the catch i enters the keeper n on the frame. The casement a and guard e are locked in the closed position by the engagement of a pivoted catch c<1> on the casement with a keeper d on the guard and a keeper on the fixed frame.
