WILLIAN PHILLIPS, Joiner 34 Chetwynd Terrace Meadow Road, Leeds CHRISTOPHER
TOMLINSON Builder East View Colton Leeds do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be is follows
The object of this invention is to be able to reverse the Sash for cleaning,
ventilation, &c and when closed to be weather-tight and fist
We plough a groove into the edge of the Sash about three eighths by three eighths
of an inch, also in the side of the frame opposite a similar groove to correspond with
the one in the edge of the sash, after which we recess the frame about one inch wide
and half inch deep into which the rebated bar fits when complete
The Bai 15 rebated to fit into the Groove or recess when hinged
The Bar is constructed of wood, metal, or both
To complete Sash for reversing, use Phillips patent pivot No 7,777 (1887)

Сакошоци,
We WILLIAM PHILLIPS and CHRISTOPHER TOMLINSON of 34 Chetwynd Terrace,
Meadow Road Leeds in the County of York Joiners and Builders, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement
-
The object of our Invention is to provide means for effectu illy excluding or preventing
draughts, and for preventing the access of 1 un water through the joints of windows,
cisements and the like and is specially adapted for windows, which are hinged so as
to be capable of being reversed for cleaning etc
Our Invention consists in the first place of double groove or recess, formed partly
in the casement or frame and partly in the window sash so that when the window is
closed, the line of the joint runs approximately through the centre of such double
groove or recess The reison for or object of this arrangement is, to cuse any
draught which may enter along the joint from the outside to be directed into the
centre of body of comparitively still air, (ze into the centre of the groove or recess),
so that the ur current is broken up, which is only very partially and ineffectually
accomplished, if (is has hitherto been done) the groove or recess is formed entirely to
one side, since a continuous side forms as it were a guide ind steadies for the
current Another object or reason for this arrangement is, that any run or weither
witer which may be carried in from the outside by the air current, would require to
traverse in a broken direction, during part of which it is practically withdriwn from
the diving action of the air current and falls down the sides of the groove or recess,
which acts is drain pipe or spont If the recess were formed on one side only, the
continuous side would ict is guide for much of the water, besides keeping it under
the driving action of the entering air current
The second part of our Invention comprises a hinged or moveable weather bar,
which when the window is closed covers the line of joint between the casement or
frame and the window sash For this purpose, we provide a groove o recess in the
frame, just beyond and parallel to the window sash when closed, and we hinge i
rebated bar to the casement or frame in su h position, that when the hir is swung
against the casement, the projecting part of the weather bir enters and fits the just
mentioned groove or recess the face of the weather bar next the sish extending
about equally on both sides of the joint between the sash and the casement or
frame
The weather bar is hinged in such a position, that when swung open or inwards,
the window or casement may be swung round or back on its own axes or hinges
And in order that our Invention may be more thoroughly understood, reference is
given to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and marks thereon
Fig 1 is a front elevation, Fig 2 a vertical cross section and Fig 3 a horizontal
section of a warehouse swing window having our said Improvements applied thereto
Similar letters refer to similar parts in all the views
a denotes the window frame, 6 the window sash, and c the double weather groove
referred to in the first part of this specification This latter as shewn is formed partly
in the window frame a, and partly in the window sash b, and arranged in these to run
up the two sides and across the top of the window

page_text: d represents the second or weather bar groove referred to in the second part of this
specification, and which it is only necessary to form up the two sides of the window,
the joint between the window frame a and the window sash & being sufficiently covered
and rendered weather proof by the fixed weather bar f e represents the rebated
hinged weather bars hinged at the sides to the window frame a, the projecting parts
thereof fitting in the grooves d, so that the face of each hinged weather bar next to
the window sash projects a short distance on both sides of, and effectually covers the
corresponding joint between the side of the window sash b and the side of the
window frame a
The rebated hinged weather bars e are securely fixed and pressed against the faces
of the window sash and into the grooves d, by means of short locking levers g, turned
by the handles h, the lever being preferably formed slightly taper so as to act as
wedges in forcing the hinged weather bars tightly in position When it is desired to
open and swing round the window, the rebated weather bars, can be swung round
into the position indicated by the dotted lines in Fig 3
Figs 4 and 5 are respectively horizontal and vertical cross sections, (shewn on the
drawings parallel to each other), of a side hinged or casement window having the first
part of our said Invention applied thereto cas before represents the weather groove
running up the vertical sides, and along across the top, formed partly in the window
frume a and partly in the window sash b Also when desired the weather groove c
may be arranged to iun down the centre joint or joints according as the two vertical
sashes b¹¹ abut against each other, or against a mid vertical bar, the groove c in the
former case being formed partly in both of the vertical sashes 6', and in the latter case
partly in each of the vertical sashes 6'6¹ and partly in the mid vertical bar
windows are preferably made to swing open towards the outside, so that fixed weather
bars can conveniently be used on the inside, but if made to open inwards, hinged
rebated weather bars can conveniently be fixed, as described above as constituting the
second part of this our Invention
Such
As similar letters refer to similar parts in all the drawings, Figs 4 and 5 will be
readily understood from the description given above of Figs 1-3
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
-
1° The double weather groove e formed partly in the window frame or casement
and partly in the window sash substantially as herein set forth, and shewn in the
Figs 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings
2° The double weather groove c formed and arranged substantially as herein set
forth and illustrated in Figs 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings
'
3° The hinged rebated weather bar f and the corresponding grooved substantially
as herein set forth and illustrated in Figs 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying
drawings
4° The combination of the subject matter of Claim 3°, with that of either of the
Claims 1 and 2 substantially as herein set forth and or illustrated
