]. AUSTIN, INVENTOR
EXCLUDING INSPECTOR
DEVISED WINDOW FRAME.
Eliminates Sash Cords and Weights.
Said to Be Big Improvement-Com-
pany Formed to Boom 1t.

Former Building Inspector John Aus
tin has invented several improvements
on window frame sashes and applica-
tions have already been made for patent
rights and protection. in this and all
foreign countries. A stock company
has been formed and in o. short time
the sash will be placed on the market.
When seen at his office In the Union
building today, Mr.. Austin gave DEM
onstration of what he regards as the
best of his Inventions. This window
frame opens to the full size of the win
dow, is divided in two sections, fastened
together with hinges, and is exceed
ingly simple to operate 1t can be
opened or closed and locked with one
hand II is best described in the words
of the inventor:
THE objects of this invention are TO
provide a window in which no sash cords
or weights are necessary to enable the
sashes to be opened to the maximum ca
pacity of the window; to render both sur
faces of the sdshes accessible from inside
the window. for cleaning and the Ike; to
secure a tickt inhpervious joint around the
margins of the sashes when closed, and
thus afford complete protection from
draughts and storms; to lock the sashes
firmly and positively in closed positions
along their centre margins; to enable the
sashes to be opened and left stationary at
any desired point; to secure simple and
efficient construction of the window which
shall be durable and not likely to get out
of order. and to obtain advantages and
results.
In the other inventions the old-style
SASH divided In two sections, is used, but
the sections may be either raised or
lowered to any point and swung open at
will But little devices are necessary IN
the new sash, and no weights are used.
All are weather and draught-proof.
Mr.. Austin feels confident that his in
ventions will be universally used in the
future.
