Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Securing Sash
Pocket Pieces.
I, ROBERT LEGGOTT, of Garnet Street, Biadford, in the County of York,
Brass Founder and Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows.
This invention has for its object the arranging and securing of boards inserted
u each side of a window sash frame, commonly called "sash pocket preces," in
such a manner that, they are 1 cadily inscited oi removed and the diving of the
boards or pieces tight into the hole cut through the sash frame obviated.
When sash pocket pieces are secured by diving them tight into the hole cut
through the sash frame as is now the common practice, and the security of the
board depending on the tight fitting of same into the hole, there is great difficulty
experienced in removing the sash pocket pieces when requned, in cousequence of
having to force the board out of the hole in which it is inserted.
According to my invention, holes are cut through the sash stile at each sido in
convenient places for the insertion and examination of the sash weights. The top
of each hole is rebated and undercut to an inclination, the bottom of each hole is
also rebated and cut to an inclination or angle with the face of the sash stile.
The sash pocket pieces are formed to fit the inclines at both top and bottom of
the openings, and nie secured at the top by the sash pocket piece fitting into the
Inclined undercut rebate. The bottom of each sash pocket piece fits against the
mclined sun face, and the pocket piece is secured in the requned position, by a plate
attached to the bottom end of the pocket piece and is provided with a socket
extending through or for some distance into the said piece.
A spudle extends through the said socket and is provided with a tongue on the
Inside, so that, when a pocket piece is inserted in the sash stile, and the spindle
turned some distance by say a screw drive, the tougue engages with the back of
the stile and thereby secures the pocket piece, which can readily be removed on
turning the spindle in the direction that the tongue disengages with the sash stile,
when the sash pocket is fee and can be removed without damage to the pioce or
sash frame

Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Securing Sash
Pocket Pieces.
I, ROBERT LEGGOTT, of Garnett Street, Bradford, in the County of York,
Brass Founder and Finisher, 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.—
This invention has for its object the arrangement and securing of boards inserted
in each side of a window sash frame, and commonly called "sash pocket pieces'
[Price 817

diving of the boards on said pieces fight into the hole cut through the sash fraine
obviated
When sash pocket pieces are secured by diving them tight into the hole cut
through the sash fame as is now the common practice, and the security of the
pocket piece depending upon the tight htting of the same into the hole, there is
great difficulty experienced in removing the sash pocket pieces when requued, in
consequence of having to force the pocket piece out of the hole in which it is
inserted
In describing my invention in detail, reference is made to the accompanying
sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. represents an elevation of a portion of a window sash frame fitted with a
sash pocket piece secured in accordance with my invention
Fig 2 is a plau of the same through line a.
Fig. 3 16 a set tional elevation through line e, d, and
Fig. 4 is a detail of the fastener
According to my invention holes are cut through the sash stile A. at each side
of the window frame in convement places for the insertion and oxamination of the
-ash weights which are suspended in the ordinary manner. The top of each hole
is rebated and undercut to an inclination, somewhat in the manner as shown at B,
the bottom of each hole is also rebated and cut to an inclination or angle with the
face of the sash stile in the manner as shown at C.
Each pocket side piece D. is formed to fill the opening in the sash fiamme at the
sides along the lines E. E. and to fit the inclines B, and C, at the top and bottom
of the said opening
In the drawing the pocket piece D is shown with a plate F secured at the
bottom end, the plate being provided with a moveable extending spindle G. having
a tongue IL. secured thereto.
The extending sprudle G. may be secured to the plate F. by a screw J. as
shown, and when the pocket piece D is inserted in the sash stile A. and the
extending spindle G. tuined by means of a screw diver on the like, engaging with
a slot K. cut in the scien head, the spindle G and tongue H. are operated to the
position that the tongue I engages with the back of the stile as shown by Fig. 3
thereby securing the pocket piece D in the equined position.
By tuning the spindle G and tongue II. until it engages with the sash stile A,
nud enters the recess M, the pocket piece D. is free, and can be removed without
damage to the same or to the bash frame.
It will be obvious that my object may be accomplished by securing the plate F
to the top end of pocket piece D instead of at the bottom as shown and
described.
The continuity of the parting bead P. between the plates F. and F' is accomplished
by reducing the ends of the parting head, and inserting same in the stapled portion
of said plate at F³.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim 19,
The method of securing side pocket pieces D. by a spindle and tongue H, the
latter operated and engaging with some fixed or rigid portion of the sash frame,
all arranged substantially in the manner as shown and described.
