Title: Operating gear for combination tilting and casement windows
IPC: E05D15/52
Filed: 1964-05-01
Abstract: 1,028,645. Window operating gear; hinges. W. WEBER. May 1, 1964 [May 3, 1963], No. 18303/64. Headings E2F and E2M. Operating gear for windows which may be opened about their vertical and horizontal axes comprises a side mounted sash tilting device 7 operatively connected to a further sash tilting device mounted above the window sash by means of a corner transmission means 23, 24, Fig. 4 (not shown). The transmitting means may e.g. comprise a cable slidable in a sheath and capable of transmitting a thrust or a pull. The tilting device 7 comprises first and second toggle arms 7a, 7b, with toggle arm 7a having a cam slot 16 and slot 17 which engage with pins 14, 15 respectively of a control arm 13. The control arm 13 is operated by handle 6 through a vertical actuating rod 12 whereby selection of the handle 6 from a raised position in which it locks the sash to an approximately horizontal position, tilts the control arm 13 thereby extending the arm 7a and thus causing the sash to be tilted. Similar movement is transmitted to a control arm 27 and a sash tilting arm 28 of the further tilting device through the transmission means and a horizontal actuating rod 26, Fig. 11 (not shown). On closing the sash, a pin 18 which pivotally pins actuating rod 12 and control arm 13 projects into an angular slot 19 in toggle arm 7a locking the sash in the closed position. The sash is further fastened by pin 15 engaging an angular slot 20 in toggle arm 7b. To permit movement of the window about the vertical axis, the handle 6 is moved to the lower position causing a pin 22 connected to the vertical actuating rod 12 to engage with a catch hook 21, thereby lowering a slide 11 on the sash thus releasing pivot pin 10 and the tilting gear 7. Similarly through the transmission means, a pin 37, Fig. 11 (not shown) connecting control arm 27 and horizontally actuating rod 26 is aligned with an opening 38 (Fig. 3), thus enabling the further tilting device to be released from the window frame. Additional retaining gear 39 40, Fig. 11 (not shown) is also freed. Simultaneously a cable 44, Fig. 9 (not shown) which is connected to the actuating rod 26 engages a pin 46 in a socket 47 providing a further vertical hinge in addition to hinge 3.

Abstract: 303,332. Robertson, J. H. June 25, 1928. Compound transparent sheets.-A process for manufacturing compound transparent and honsplinting sheets is characterized by applying to one surface of each of the glass sheets used a thin coating of casein which, when dry, is coated with a solution of celluloid in amyl acetate to which pure phenol is added. When the coated surfaces are dry, they are united to a sheet of celluloid of 20 thousandths of an inch thickness by immersing in a bath of ethyl or propyl alcohol and subjecting to gentle pressure. The united sheets are then pressed at a temperature of 55‹ C. for 20 minutes and finally baked for some hours at 55-60‹ C. The casein is prepared by treating first with phenol dissolved in distilled water and them dissolving the glutinous product in strong ammonia. The celluloid solution consists of 100 grams celluloid, 3 litres amyl acetate, and 500 ccs. pure phenol. The glass used is preferably hard drawn and is cleaned with nitric acid and distilled water.
