An Improved Appliance for use with Sliding Window Sashes and
the like for Excluding Dust, Draught and Rain.
FREDERICK COCKER, Gentleman, 11, Courtland Terrace, Merthyr Tydfil,
Glamorganshire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I use a strip of metal or of other suitable substance. hereafter for convenience
called the strip which is fixed to the sash frame by screws or other suitable means
and which engages in a groove in the sash so as to form an obstruction to the
entry of dust draught or rain when the sash is closed. The strip may be of any
suitable section such as of T section as shewn in drawing A. The strip may be
fixed to the sash in which case it will engage in a groove of suitable section in
the sash frame. The strips may be used at the sides and tops and bottoms of
sashes as shewn in the drawing B.

An Improved Appliance for use with Sliding Window Sashes and
the like for Excluding Dust, Draught and Rain.
FREDERICK COCKER, 11, Courtland Terrace, Merthyr Tydfil, 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:
I use a strip of metal or of other suitable substance hereafter for convenience
called the strip which is fixed to the sash frame by screws or other suitable means,
and which engages in a groove in the sash so as to form an obstruction to the
entry of dust draught or rain, when the sash is closed. The strip may be of any
suitable section such as of T section as shewn in the drawing a. The strip may be
fixed to the sash in which case it will engage in a groove of suitable section in the
sashi frame. The strips may be used at the sides and tops and bottoms of sashes
as shewn in the drawing b.
For purposes of illustration I will now refer to the annexed drawings in
which:
Figure 1, is a perspective view shewing my invention applied to a window sash.
The lower sash rail b is provided with the recess c adapted to receive the extended
portion of the strip a. This strip may be formed of any suitable material,
TD 017

page_text: preferably metal. This is secured in the required position to the lower sill and
when the window is closed, the projection a¹ will enter the recess c formed in
the bottom rail of then window sash. It will be
seen, that by this arrangement the
entrance of dust, rain, and wind will be obstructed. Although I have described
the metal plate a being attached to the lower sill of the window I may if desired
provide a groove of suitable section in the sash frame, and attach the metal plate
to the bottom of the window so that the same may engage therein, and these
strips it will be readily seen may be also used at the sides or tops of sashes without
departing from the principle of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim
is:
1. In means for excluding draughts, dust, rain, and wind the combined con-
struction, and arrangement of the various parts, substantially as described, and
illustrated herein, and for the purpose set forth.
2. In means for excluding dust, draught, rain, or wind, a strip of metai having
a projection adapted to, engage in a corresponding groove or recess in the window
sash or the frame or support in which said sash moves, said plate being attached
to the moving sash or support as required substantially as described and illus-
trated herein and for the purpose set forth.
